BOF Posted February 29 Moderator Share Posted February 29 14 minutes ago, Genie said: Maybe it’s been posted already but the Chelsea side that started and finished the cup final had a lower average age than Liverpool. Yeah and all Liverpool needed was a £75m centre back to win the game. In Liverpool's defence, it was more that they won it with several academy graduates in the side, whereas Chelsea's 'kids' cost them about half a billion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top 3 are better than us right now.....Their performances on a consistent basis, show, we have some way to go. I don't think in every aspect, but in some aspects, we lag behind, more than others. I am sure Unai is aware, of where we need to catch up and that is where the WIP will feature.....taking absolutely nothing away from the progress so far.

villa4europe Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I see in the build up to tomorrow the cult is at again, Trent saying although they've won less their trophies mean more to their fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City win far more trophies then Liverpool, so there’s bound to be more meaning and feeling for the scousers. If someone like Villa, Newcastle, Everton… wins something, anything, it’ll mean more to the fans than City winning their Nth trophy in 5 years.

OutByEaster? Posted March 12 Moderator Share Posted March 12 UEFA appear to be terrified that Liverpool will reach the final of the Europa League in Dublin and they'll be overwhelmed by ticketless fans - there's talk of them having to move the game to Croke Park and its higher capacity in order to cope (although they can't really consider that until Rangers are out). It must be difficult finding venues for finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireland played internationals there when Aviva was getting built. I had the pleasure of seeing a 1-1 draw v Bulgaria where Richard Dunne scored a header, Petrov played as well I recall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 5 minutes ago, Stevo985 said: Longer version guy is an absolute prick Question I have is whether he’s always been this way and the media didn’t show it or whether this is a relatively new thing. I remember at one time he seemed to be an incredibly lighthearted and reasonable guy. Then there was a season (after they’d won the PL I think) where it was a tough time for the team but also him personally (think his father died or something?) and ever since we’ve seen these interviews where he comes across as a grade a tool come through with regularity. By his own admission the relentless nature of the job has ground him down to the point he needs to quit. So question (for me) is do his personal issues + being mentally ground down explain these outbursts and he will look back in time and cringe or has he always been like this? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be overthinking it. He's ultra competitive and a bad loser. Like me. I can no longer play monopoly with my family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
