We are charging their fans £48 and they are charging £73. Surely something has to be done about this.
Any news on whether a coach welcome is planned? Would be good to get right back to it and show lessons learnt.
Wouldn’t it normally be higher for a semi-final than a group match?
Same place same time,no invites needed really!
We should charge them £73 and use the extra money to refund fans the difference going to Roma
Thank Fowler we're not getting Caulker
That's exactly what Utd did against Seville.
Never understood this really, I can't imagine after 34 years many of their fans care or remember.There may be a brief thought towards it, but I doubt it's going to be a driving factor in the players motivation on the day.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS-ZHNObHgwThis is fantastic analysis of their comeback win over Barcelona, I seriously doubt the tactical risks they took to get at Barca in the 2nd leg would go as unpunished against our usually electric transition play. I am also far more confident in our defenders to deal with their aerial threats, particularly Dzeko.That isn't to say they are a poor side or that this will necessarily be an easy tie for us. We have a lot more threats they will have to deal with than they can offer in return, and so if we can get ourselves ahead, that will almost certainly force them into tactical risks that should give us plenty to work with. For that reason I think the first leg at Anfield is a huge advantage, because we can use atmosphere to blow them away with intensity early, and with the quality, confidence and form we have right now in attack it will be exceptionally difficult for them to stop us scoring.
Am sure they wanted to avenge it just as much in the UEFA cup in 2001. And again in the champions league in 2002. How'd that work out for them?
it's pretty easy to see it to be honest mate, loads of videos about of the game itself and if one was struggling with that they could just read it on a wikipedia article Or in numerous other articles both online and in the plethora of books, newspapers and so on that have existed in the 34 YEARS since that final was played. But to be honest if their fans and players require a game played 34 years ago to get them 'up for' getting into a champions league final, they seem a bit weird to me.
Anyone else being strangely drawn to Dion Dublin's nipples?
They are not weird, they are Italian. A dish best served cold and all that...I was responding to a few posts about Roma were dreading getting Liverpool. Not at all, is my view.As for the time passed, many Reds recall the way Inter cheated Shanks and the lads. We'd love to do them in a CL cup final.
The thing is, it's £25 more per ticket, for 5,000 tickets. So a total of £125,000 extra for Roma. That's nothing to a football club of their size, so there is no need for it.
Seems as if Roma are resting a few players tonight. Currently 1-0 up as well. Manolas, De Rossi, Nainggolan, Schick and Strootman all on the bench.
Bastards! Well cheated, will never forget it. Bear in mind that was 53 years ago!! So 34 years for Roma seems reasonable to me.
if this were the first time we were facing them since the final sure it makes sense, but that's not the case, we've played them 4,5 times since then. Regardless, they can be motivated as much as they want, so will we
Looks like bookies made us a very heavy favorite against Rome for the tie as well as the match at home.
So they won 2-1 while resting 4-5 first team players from the start, even though some of them came on later on after Genoa scored. I haven't been watching much of Serie A to be honest and the stats seem to show that Roma were quite comfortable. Are most bottom half teams in Seria A shite, and is there more or less the same gulf in class between the top six teams and rest as there is in the PL?
Apparently they have got their team coach sorted for the 1st leg.
Lazio comeback was useful
I built that in the 80s. Didn't think it was still around.
It was just before I started going but I remember the fewm from Inter because we were singing "Go back to Italy" to the tune of an iconic Italian song and the fact that the injured Byrne and Milne came into the pitch with the newly acquired FA cup to rack up the atmosphere.
