Guest neesy111 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 ENGLISH DOMINATION IN YOO-RUP. It has been years since English clubs have dominated in numbers the UEFA/Europa cup. Still have good record in CL which is what counts. Europe's 2nd Trophy is European version the Johnstone Paint with the mighty Boro & Fulham getting to the final only enhances this viewpoint for me. Europa league should show the strength of a league below the top 4. Clearly shows the SUPER SKY PREMIERSHIP is not the all conquering league it is. Really? Is that what you thought last year when England had two teams in the semi-final? I didn't. Italian football must be on life support below Inter. Over a peroid of time I view that on. Should remember italy has just lost it's 4th champs league place to germany. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 God that Liverpool game was awful. They were absolutely crap. Joe Cole plays like a baby, Glen Johnson generally finds football hard and Kuyt can't stay onside. Can't believe I watched the entire game. I watched the whole thing just for that sweet moment when the whistle went and we got to see the troll's glum face. Well worth watching the s**** to savour the outcome. That part was good, granted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Liverpool should employ Allardyce if this is there style of play now. Pretty much. £60m for two players, long ball upto one to nod on for the other. Boring and teams will suss it. thats with no gerrard mind. be interesting to see if they re jig their midfield in the summer. Gerrard's been ineffective most of this season imo. Should remember they are out of europe if they don't win this competition barring a collapse by a top 5 team, that will effect their finances a little next season. You don't make that much like... "all 48 clubs in the group phase were entitled to a participation fee of €600,000, plus €300,000 in match bonuses – comprising €50,000 per group game played. In addition, performance bonuses were paid: €120,000 per win and €60,000 per draw in the group stage. Reaching the round of 32 earned an extra €180,000 per team, with further progress being rewarded by payments of: €270,000 for the round of 16, €360,000 for the quarter-finals and €630,000 for the semi-finals. Atlético then received €3m as winners of the 12 May final in northern Germany and Fulham €2m as runners-up." Plus ticket money et al. Probably will affect their marketing sales and overall marketability of the brand though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
