Liverpool vs United would be too prestigious and emotionally draining for a QF tie. If we both progressed that warrants a final more than anything. Jeez just imagine that *shivers*.
 
The prospect of L’pool and Utd taking 40/50 thousand each to Madrid, travelling the same routes from the same airports, does indeed make you shiver.

But for all the WRONG reasons.

And the Madrid bizzies, like all Police in Spain, are absolute shithouses who hit first and ask questions later.

Yeah sadly with the dark side of football and humanity generally that would be inevitable. But I still think that for two teams like that to meet in Europe it deserves the grandest stage for when it eventually does happen.
 
Perfect draw.

Couldn’t have hand-picked that any better.

No nightmare trip to Turin. Semi second leg at Anfield. And we get to go Porto again!

Just need the dates now. Having to do the memorial away in Porto if its the Tuesday will be different but we’ll find a church.
 
Perfect draw for me. Avoided an English team and a final vs City is on

Porto’s cheap as chips lid. Just a ballache to get to with most everything from down South.

Why I was quite happy the other week both Tottenham and Utd got through. An English tie would have been masively welcome from both a financial and holiday standpoint. So Utd the semi would do me down the ground.
 
City vs Juventus
Barca vs Pool

Cant ask better semis, all top teams from their league

Well arguably the clear top 4 teams in Europe.

Uefa couldn’t ask for a better end to their marquee competiton if it plays out as expected.
 
Yeah, United-Liverpool final played on foreign soil and in Madrid of all places sounds like recipe for a tragedy. Fans will be on edge and so will Spanish police who will most likely classify it as high risk event and plan accordingly.

I remember when United played Legia in Cup Winners Cup, right after the Heysel ban expiredr. TV was showing cops in Warsaw basically preparing for war. Attack dogs, water cannons, tear gas launchers, the whole package. Not a fun picture.
 
I just wanted to avoid United whoever won the tie wouldve had bragging rights for yonks.
 
Still buzzing off that superb secomd half in particular Wednesday.

Always amuses you when dickheads like Shearer sit pontificating on MOTD and the like saying L’pool are at their best when it’s manic chaos, mad pressing, and rapid attacking. Totally and utterly ignoring the evolution of this team into a proper elite one that can now go to one of the hardest places in Europe to win, against a fellow member of UEFA’s establishmemt, and do that to Bayern. Last season was one of my all time favourites to experience with the breathtaking high’s they gave us. But this is a FAR better all round team this year with far better all round, mature, really smart (football inteligence/ tactical wise) footballers the more they’ve worked on it and evolved.

To be so secure, calm and controlling the Allianz, whilst still being devestating going forward at the right times ..... that second half was one of the best halves we’ve had under Klopp. Which is saying something all the excitement and stupendous memories hes left us with. This is now a proper, mature, football team. Which is what this team has evolved into and what he wanted all along. But that development process takes time, paitience and a lot of repetitive hard work. And is ****** hard to learn and get down as a lot of new signings have found and why they can’t be rushed. But patience is a virtue as we’ve seen with the likes of Andy Robbo, Oxo-Chambo and Fabinho so the need for instant hits, regardless of the price, just isn’t there.

Honestly, in nigh on 40 years going the match, I’ve never seen as controlling and dominant a group of Reds as this. Rock solid defensively. Not that the pressure often gets that far given the tireless work in the middle. Who can still hit you to devastating effect the other end of the pitch. With a tactical fluidity through games with the interchanging and movement we must be an absolute nightmare to plan for. Only 2 other sides in our history have had this many points through 30 games which is just testiment to how great a group Klopp’s developed here.

A proper elite footballing side once again that can beat you any which way. And one that you know, unlike
‘08/‘09 or ‘13/‘14, has been paitiently built the right way to have sustainable success and be seriously challenging the business end of the PL and Europe for many years to come.

Can’t see anything other than ouselves and City have a personal battle for the league over the next few years and the back end of Europe. So far ahead of everyone else in England are both sides.
 
For some reason I can’t upload the photie of a banner the Bayern end Wednesday.

They’ll get F by UEFA like but Germans know:

’MODERN FOOTBALL KILLS EMOTIONS. **** UEFA! **** VAR!’

Is rite lads.
