[steveaki13]

Barca are looking a tad uninterested now.

Villa all but relegated from the Prem, while its a big day for Leicester's crazy season.

[Storm]

2 losses in a row. Real Sociedad have always been a thorn especially at home.. :s
3 pt gap but hopefully they can concentrate gain after the CL tie midweek.

[anfield5]

5 games to go 7 points in the bank. Will Leicester really hold on to win the English Prem? It will be the biggest shock since David if they do.

[Storm]

Spurs winning would be a shocker too but I hope Ranieri does it for Leicester. I haven't seen or followed the prem this season much but this is the biggest story in ages...

I am a Man Utd fan but given how bad their season is I wouldn't mind if they lose the next match too. Go Leicester City!! It's unbelievable how this small team has gone from rock bottom to one win away from being Champions in such a short span of time... and when you think of all these super rich clubs in the Premier League it's even more impressive. I'm also quite satisfied Ranieri got his (sort of) revenge after being humiliated by those pathetic excuses of player he coached before Leicester City.

You seem to be confusing the owner with the club, or to be more exact the owner's wealth with the club's budget. But to make you happy I'll change rich clubs with expensive teams.

Ninety-six football fans who died as a result of a crush in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster were unlawfully killed, the inquests have concluded. The jury found match commander Ch Supt David Duckenfield was "responsible for manslaughter by gross negligence" due to a breach of his duty of care. Police errors also added to a dangerous situation at the FA Cup semi-final.
The prime minister said the inquests had provided "official confirmation" fans were "utterly blameless". After a 27-year campaign by victims' families, the behaviour of Liverpool fans was exonerated.

So that's that for Pep and Bayern. You can say that Bayern has been in decline ever since he came :laugh:... if you want to be mean :p.

Totally agree with you Ben. Guardiola wouldn't never have won PL with Leicester...

Totally agree with you Ben. Guardiola wouldn't never have won PL with Leicester...

I'm pretty sure you are right. He seems to be a one trick pony: go to a rich team with a grocery list of players who can pass the ball around till everyone's sleeping. He certainly doesn't seem to be the guy who'll just make it do.

[gadjo_dilo]

Forget Ranieri! Forget Guardiola! Klopp is the man. In just 7 months he brought passion, self belief and motivation and here we are ladies and gentlemen, heading again to the Europa League final.
Liverpool saved the honour of the English clubs in European competitions of 2016 that otherwise tend to become a Spanish affair.
And what a hell of a road to the final.....:beer:

[pino]

Forget Ranieri ??? Are you ok ? How you can compare what he's done by winning the PL managing a side like Leicester , with an Europa League finale reached by Klopp ??? Without this finale, Klopp season would have been a total flop...

[gadjo_dilo]

In my opinion Champions League ( total flop for english teams ) and Europa League ( in case the Reds win it ) are more important than PL.
Besides, unlike Ranieri, Klopp is also a very charismatic guy.

Klopp has hardly set the world alight in the Premier League and, unfortunately (for the competition itself), the Europa League doesn't seem to be of interest to too many teams. When accidentally some top team ends up in Europa League, they usually take it half-assed and are out rapidly. But it's still good for small teams like Liverpool :laugh:

[gadjo_dilo]

Klopp has hardly set the world alight in the Premier League :
He signed just 7 months before. Maybe they lost some matches but the team plays different since he came. In 7 months he brought Liverpool to 2 finals, Europa League and Capital One Cup ( lost vs M City, on penalties )

and, unfortunately (for the competition itself), the Europa League doesn't seem to be of interest to too many teams. When accidentally some top team ends up in Europa League, they usually take it half-assed and are out rapidly. But it's still good for small teams like Liverpool :laugh:

Yeah....I reckon that's why Man Utd and Borussia Dortmund lost against Liverpool. To countinue it would have been a waste of time and energy for a poor amount of money....

[Brown, Jon Brow]

So Van Gaal wins the FA Cup but already looks set to be replaced by Mourinho.

Despite winning a trophy most United fans will be glad to see the back of him. Two thirds of the way through his contract there hasn't been any real progress as Old Trafford. The defence is still weak and the midfield still hasn't been strengthened.

However, Van Gaal has managed to bring through a few promising youngsters such as Lingard and Rashford. My biggest concern with Mourinho is that he doesn't really build for the future. Interesting times ahead.

[steveaki13]

I imagine Rashford might find himself less involved under Mourinho

Higuain will score then...or a red card

it's always this or that in such cases

[anfield5]

All I can say is LIVERPPOL!!! - played 11, won 8, drawn 2 - top of the Prem.

Klopp and the new signings seem to have transformed the team. Mane looks awesome, Wijnaldum is starting to look as good as he did at Newcastle last season and MAtip reminds me of a Sami Hyypia, big, strong, slightly clumsy, but the bargain signing of the decade.

Only problem is they have been here before and provided us with so much disappointment.

Being a scouser and supporting the reds my whole life, I have learnt in the last 25 years to rejoice in the moment. If you wait until the end of the season, there will be a succession of near misses to look back on and usually an empty trophy cabinet :)

This is why we need to approach Liverpool City Council to install intercity chainsaw rockets on the Radio City Tower. Sure, it's a daft idea and will probably achieve nothing but it's no weirder than building a stadium inside a power station as Chelsea have proposed or moving out of a library and into a giant swirling washing machine as Arsenal have done.

[Storm]

I'm neither a scouser nor a lifelong fan, but I've always had a soft spot for them and been hoping against hope for a title ...someday. Unfortunately I started watching/following football only after the Premier League started on tv for us and it's been a long wait ever since. Gerrard and his slip :angryfire

hey where's stevie_g btw?

[anfield5]

Stevie has been at LA Galaxy since he left Anfield. His contract has just ended, there is speculation about him joining Brendan Rogers at Celtic for the rest of this season (from January). He has also been offered a position back at Anfield whenever he wants it in coaching and mentoring young players, with a view to him eventually coaching the senior players.

Sampaoli (Sevilla) seems like is the fan favourite.. I'd like Klopp too :p: But the bloody defence needs sorting out so maybe an Italian should come for a couple of years!

Bring Ranieri! He's free now.....:p

[steveaki13]

I think its pretty rubbish what is happening at Barca. Players levels are poor now, manager seems to be being forced out and top stars seem uninterested. Pretty poor really.

I wish someone could stop Chelsea too. Klopp says Liverpool need to spend big for next season

[Storm]

5-0 vs Celta ;)

[steveaki13]

yes but Barca are always going to beat some sides by big scores. Still think there are major issues Storm.

Tottenham v Everton should be a big game.

[Storm]

^I know there are issues I'm just saying they seem to be up for it again..even though 0-4 is impossible with the defence to overturn I can see some goals tomorrow vs PSG
A blank year actually might be good for the next coach and the motivation of the players.

[Storm]

Hey we need the dancing bananas thing here donks/odykas!!!


6-1 WTF :D

I saw the last 15 minutes it was the craziest match in my life...Equalizer vs Chelsea in 2009 is close but this was something else.
say what steve? ;)

Exactly, that referee, was a disgrace...

[gadjo_dilo]

.....but Neymar was fantastic. :p

[pino]

.....but Neymar was fantastic. :p

Not my coup of tea...sorry :p:

[Storm]

Exactly, that referee, was a disgrace...

horrible ref yes.
but same can be said about many matches with other big teams coming from behind...err another team especially in the last few games in La Liga

The players still gave their all, Neymar especially!
Let us enjoy while we can eh?

[gadjo_dilo]

Haven't seen the match, only the highlights. However, for the first time in my life (and mind you, I've seen some football in my life) I had the feeling that the betting mafia fixed this game. :devil: :p

[steveaki13]

The most bizzare match indeed. Did not see it as I was out playing, but what with the ref. Jeez he made a couple of terrible penalty decisions. You do wonder if UEFA need Barca to stay in.

Worries me a bit because this is way out of the norm.

I don't know if it was fixed but that referee was a very weird choice. He's just bad. He usually is, not just now. Without that referee the "remontada" wouldn't have been possible.

[Storm]

It would still have been 4-1 win and a moral victory. Anyways Barca got caught up in the hype/adrenaline and lost to Depor :\ to make it very tough in the league while Madrid sneaked a win again with Ramos scoring - the keeper apparently was lucky to not be sent off. gah..just when I thought the league was now in the grasp again,.

[gadjo_dilo]

Leicester!!!!!!!!!
:eek:

[pino]

Juventus :p

[steveaki13]

Leicester!!!!!!!!!
:eek:

Super Leicester at it again.

Knock out Barca next up :p

[Storm]

I bet they or Monaco will draw RM

[steveaki13]

Well they got Atletico.

Bit of a shame they didnt get one of the big four but hey they have done well to get here.

[pino]

Juventus vs Barca, bring it on...:D

[donKey jote]

juhu? :p

[pino]

With a proper referee this time !!!! :p:

[donKey jote]

Davide Massa? :andrea:

[pino]

Forza Juve !!!!!!!!

[gadjo_dilo]

:eek:

goal......

[gadjo_dilo]

:eek:
goal
again.....

[pino]

Dybala, Dybala !!!!!

[gadjo_dilo]

:eek:

goal.....

[pino]

3-0 Hahahahaha :p

[steveaki13]

Well done Pino.

Thats a result. Also shows how Barca are struggling after heavy losses to PSG and Juventus.

Fully deserved

[donKey jote]

Stoopid barça went and lost against Malaga :dozey:

[pino]

Stoopid barça went and lost against Malaga :dozey:

That was days ago, they lost to Juventus last night too...just in case you didn't know :rolleyes: :p

[donKey jote]

I forgot already :andrea: :p

[pino]

Another Barca fans in charge of 2nd match. This time Kuipers from Holland. Another big mistake by referee chief Collina... :rolleyes:

[pino]

And another match ruined by a ridiculous referee. Red card to Vidal was a joke, and Penaldo scored in off-side position. Why are referees helping Spanish sides all the time ??? :mad:

[Storm]

Atletico on merit though...Madrid ah...
Juve have a good chance of making it tomorrow. This defence is hopeless. It's been like that since Puyol retired actually.

[gadjo_dilo]

. Why are referees helping Spanish sides all the time ??? :mad:

I predict it will come the day when the referee himself would score the needed goal.
Maybe tonight.......:p

[Storm]

0-0.
congrats pino

I hope the bloody zebras play like this when they meet RealM next. 3 out of the 4 semi-finalists deserve to win the CL. Especially Atleti after how they lost the final last 2 times....

[pino]

Thanks amigo. Juve must play a lot better when they meet Real, or we won't beat them. Not an enjoyable performance from them tonight, but the goal was to qualify to semi, so I am quite satisfied. Let's hope we get Real in the semi...

[Storm]

yeah they basically did what they had to do to qualify - no problem with being defensive strategically/tactically, Barca lost it in leg 1. You must get an away goal or only concede 1 or 2 goals away from home against a quality side in CL

[steveaki13]

Congrats Pino. Great result over the tie.

Hope you win this now. First hurdle cleared. It will be tougher against Real. Or probably anyone left.

Good luck

Thanks Steve. And to be honest, the only side I am worried is Monaco. They are young, motivated, hungry and are playing a great and effective football. Real can only beat us with help from referee. But hopefully the to referee in charge of semi will be as good as Kuipers was last night. Btw I was surprised and pleased by his job !

[donKey jote]

Holy guacamoley :-D :-D :-D

:bigfatbananas:

Congrats for the win, but where were you on Wednesday? :rolleyes: :p

[Storm]

What a game :D

still might lose the title but atleast Messi showed why he is the best. Ter Stegen was good too as everybody in front of him is useless. Gomes is ridiculous. I also like how Sergi Roberto has basically re-invented himself.
I watched on a tiny live stream at 360p with a Portuguese feed - from whatever I could understand they surprisingly weren't fawning all over madrid/cr7 like the commentary we get in India (British!)and let's be honest he had one of the worse games in clasico - somewhat like his earlier years where he would vanish in big games. He missed 3/4 absolute sitters for his level, Messi missed 1 as well.

[donKey jote]

Congrats for the win, but where were you on Wednesday? :rolleyes: :p
Don't remember :andrea: :p

[pino]

Vamos Atletico !!!!

[gadjo_dilo]

Penaldo! :p

[gadjo_dilo]

Hattrick!
No penalty, no offside, no cheating.

[pino]

Balls :mad:

[pino]

I must admit that, this Real, is just too strong for Atletico, and Penaldo is in top form, unfortunately...

[Storm]

Hattrick!
No penalty, no offside, no cheating.
that's not what I heard

[steveaki13]

Ajax v Man U and Juventus v Real.

There is two classic match ups for finals of european competition.

Great stuff

[janneppi]

I would never thought myself saying this but Forza Juve! :(
It goes against every fiber of my being...even my brother, with an even more rooted dislike of Italian teams is rooting for them today.

[gadjo_dilo]

Penaldo... :eek:

[steveaki13]

Damn.... Cant believe Real are going to win it again.....

Come on Juve

[steveaki13]

Ramos.... what a bastard. :mad:

[donKey jote]

Balls :mad:

[Storm]

I dreaded even checking the score on the web and I wished I hadn't. **** ****
%&^& atleti #%$% Juve

[steveaki13]

Load of rubbish. Real need sorting out. :mad:

[donKey jote]

Aww... Princess is sad... Treated unfairly by the evil taxman and not receiving enough backing from his club (or fans)... :boohoo: :bigcry:
on yer bike then!

[Storm]

where's everybody?

[gadjo_dilo]

where's everybody?Watching the excelent performance of my beloved Liverpool against Arsenal.
4-0. Good job!

[pino]

Vacations in Italy, me :D

[Storm]

^that's all the time!

crazy money being thrown around this summer.... now since they paid so much for Neymar, his replacements end up costing way too much as well!

[steveaki13]

Hi guys

Bet you have been talking about it but what is with these huge sums of money. Its gotten crazy guv.

[steveaki13]

It is like Neymar move has made every club say "what the hell. Our players will cost you three times the normal price"
