It'll be interesting to see how the hacks treat him.

14. Leeds

Neither do I! He does look a good player.

So you'll be putting everything you can afford to lose on them to win it tomorrow morning then? Or do you think they'll get beaten by a better side after Xmas? Is that a joke? Or to say you think a team could win the CL you have to stake everything you can afford to lose on it? Sort of. Just wondering how confident you were in their chances tbh.

They could win it, I agree. I just think the chances are pretty fucking slim and people are seeing things that aren't there. They aren't good enough. A good team will tear them apart.

Of course I'm not making a bet! I'm just trying to say that the odd's on Liverpool winning the Champions League are pretty big for a good reason! Just because they won it a few years ago doesn't mean they'll win it again. They'll get knocked out by a better team. Maybe this round, maybe next. They're not good enough to win it this year. They're head and shoulders better than us but they aren't the best in the continent by a million miles. The best team doesn't necessarily win it though do they, as Liverpool proved. Exactly. A one-off I can deal with... Do you think Liverpool will win it this season, yes or no? If not, why not? But if they got to the final twice it wasn't a one off, i believe in getting luck within a match but to get lucky over a group stage and then a series of matches leading up to the final doesn't work out. If you get the fist 5 numbers on the lottery, do you win the jackpot? Lightening doesn't strike twice. How many teams in the European Cup Final have been 0-3 down at half time and gone on to win? It was a fluke. A one-off. Never to be repeated again for decades. They got lucky. It won't happen again this season. They'll get knocked out by a better team. They're good but they won't win it.

They could win it, of course they could. How likely is it though? Greece came from nowhere and won Euro 2004, Denmark didn't even qualify for Euro 1992 and won it. Upsets happen. But can you see Liverpool winning the Champions League this season?

Unfortunately there were 4 better ones in the PL when the won the CL last. So you think they're going to win the Champions League this season then? How much have you got on them? Errrm no, I didnt say that. I was just pointing out a fact. My apologies. Your post implied they could win it again this year despite not being the best team in England. Again.

Liverpool won't win it. Agree. Finishing second means they're guaranteed a 'biggie' in the next round. Real, Inter, Milan etc. If Besiktas and Marseille can beat them, the big lads will batter them. blueyes.gif There are 3 better teams than them in the PL never mind the CL.

He didn't say they'd win it did he, he was right, going by the table there were better teams in the Premiership when they won it. I know what he said. I was just trying to ascertain if he thought they'd win it THIS year. Or if they'd get knocked out by a team that was better in most departments.

They can't make out a word he's saying?

Hate having to listen to the odious, kerb-crawling, thick fucker. Nearly as bad as Motson.

No argument about that one though. Great goal.

Seemed to dive before any contact was made. Most unlike Gerrard...

Good point. blueyes.gif

I havent seen the game... .what was the score when he took him off ? losing 3 one with 20mins left Whaaaaaaaat ? Love to hear the pool fans' opinion of that one Benny: "You have to save your big players". I'm beginning to feel a bit sorry for him it's getting like he's following my script. Have to say, I think he made the right decision. Minimise risk of injury, etc. The proof will be in the pudding by about 9.30pm tonight. Swiftly followed by Man Utd at the weekend... A big few days for Rafa. blueyes.gif

Shame we only have Owen to make do with then eh. Banking on Owen being fit for this month and next might be tempting fate a wee bit... Don't panic, he'll have a new England boss to impress man...

4-2 They've completely gone to pieces.

I'm liking the Robson Stand idea. It's got a nice ring to it. "The Milburn, the Gallowgate, the Leazes and the Robson."

Ruled himself out of the running. SSN. Apparently he's been offered the job of a 'major European club' this summer according to his agent.
