Re: The Official Football Thread
So Liverpool win the Merseyside Derby again to qualify for the FA Cup Finals.
At least for us, that pretty much confirms we will be playing in Europe next season thanks to Carroll.

Re: The Official Football Thread
You have got to stay ambitious. I don't buy the whole argument about preferring to not getting into the Europa League because it's a distraction. You have to take every opportunity as they come.
Re: The Official Football Thread
At the very least its a chance to bring some young players in. Like a european carling cup

Re: The Official Football Thread
Also Liverpool haven't been Champions League standard for a few seasons now so I wouldn't have expected them to qualify anyway.

Re: The Official Football Thread
still pretty poor when they can only get ~200 fans to an away game though..

Re: The Official Football Thread
I wouldn't rule out West Ham yet. The FLC is always an open league from day one to the last.

Re: The Official Football Thread
The game was decent, pretty enjoyable to watch. However, let's leave aside all the controversial hand balls and offside - because either way Madrid played like shit most of the time. Our goal was more Bayern's fault rather than our attacking ability (4 defenders in front of the goalkeeper, not marking Ronaldo, or Ozil, or Benzema). Oh and Marcelo... I was wondering where Pepe was, but then I remembered if it ain't Pepe then it's Marcelo's turn to shine. Madrid's defence wasn't bad, however during almost every counter (Real's "speciality" recently) there was no help from the back, leaving Ronaldo, Di Maria and Benzema (usually only two at a time) to take on 4 to 5 defenders by themselves. 90% of the time that resulted in nothing. Coentrao was a waste, Marcelo should have played from the start. None of the players stood out. Ronaldo wasn't there to score a hat trick like against Atletico, carrying the entire team. Bayern's second goal... dunno how they allowed that to happen.
On the other hand in my opinion Lahm and Ribery did a pretty good job. Oh, and props to Madrid for getting themselves 6 yellow cards.

Re: The Official Football Thread
