Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

It might have been more - there were enough to make sue no-one could get a clear shot at the Liver building.

I would say there were a lot more just judging by the massive spike in crime around Liverpool and Manchester that day.

But I am also old enough to remember when they were desperate for teams to take part. City did so on at least one occasion without “qualifying”.

Villa away start of 1972/3 season? Won 1 - 0, with Franny scoring.

That thread is currently very toxic. If we win the CL it will be very hard for them to take.

And the year after against Burnley. City as holders lost 1-0 to the first division winners at Maine Road.

Tony Cascarino ️: “You look at Trent, and you know he can deliver for England! Trent has qualities that are not far off Lionel Messi.”

Cos he had a half decent game v Malta, he's now similar to Messi.

With all due respect to Malta, and my dear mother was born there, I think could have done a job in the England midfield against them.

Your mother could have done a job in midfield against them.

Probably, and she's got arthritis

Burnley v City 73?

I see your logic but I don’t agree with you. It’s a one off game, and a friendly - and is usually played as such.

Anyway, I’m sure we’re not going to agree!

The Champions League final is a one off game too. As is any cup final. The shield is a one off game, that you only qualify for by winning the league or FA cup it coming second to a double winner. It has a trophy, a piece of silverware. But I agree with the part about it being a side to other trophies, not a thing on its own. The European Supercup is a one off game, but you only get to play it by winning the CL. I'm excited about watching us play for it soon.
