European Cup (thread II)

I'm watching the Arsenal game...exciting start from the Gunners and now last ditch defending as Galatasaray make a go of it. Crowd still singing despite losing....good atmosphere.

 

Gerrard doesn't get a penalty. Keeper does enough to be legal.

 

Basle supporters making it seem like a home game.

In response, Liverpool supporters quietly sing Oh when the Reds go marching in.

 

Great free kick by Gerrard, 1-1.

 

Real ping pong in the Arsenal goal area. However, Arsenal will qualify second.

 

Lovren should have been off!

 

Oh, by the way, Basel is the German spelling and Basle the French. Don't know what the Italian or Romansh spellings are.

 

Ooh. Here we go...

 

Yep. You have to tip your hat to that one. Right in the upright.

 

We often take the French spelling because of 1066 and all that, so I'll stick with Basle.

 

Yep, same here. Wonder what the Anglo-Saxon spelling for Basle is..?

 

This view gives the impression Lovren was sent off, not Markovic.

Slightly tasty last few minutes at Anfield.

EDIT: FT. Basle make the last 16 at the expense of 'Pool who drop into the Europa.

 

Exciting end to Liverpool game. I wouldn't have begrudged them it if they had done it, but they didn't

 

Liverpool are out!

 

Fantastic !

 

So where will Dejans head be next season then?

 

Arsenal won 4-1 (Galatasaray got a late goal before Arsenal scored again). I turned over for the Liverpool game....bummer.

 

I wonder how lallana is feeling now, and lovren. St marys awaits, you are going to get it boys.

 

So, Bâle go through. That is the French spelling by the way, I was wrong. Basel and Basle are alternative German spellings. It lies on the border between France, Germany, and Switzerland.

Anyway, that's Liverpool with a well-deserved Europa League place. Well done boys.
