And Its Smith

One person told me Spain and another Portugal…..so probably France! 

95% of seats look sold. Tickets expensive but seemingly not too expensive 

The boy is delighted we lost the toss as gets to see Jimmy bowl

As a percentage of salary, a season ticket then was less than 2 days salary. £48 and average salary was £30 per day.  More like 3-4 days salary now so it has gone up

NB. It’s late so might have got my maths wrong 

Potts in. No Overton apparently

Either of these teams will be fodder in the prem

Wouldn’t be so sure.  Cooper is a very good manager. If they can make a few good signings then I reckon he might get them close to survival.  Depending on who they sign I might be more confident of Forest under Cooper than Bournemouth under Parker 

If people seriously think football is so corrupt then I really don’t know why you bother with the sport!

Great decision Jon Moss

Difficult to say. If they go up they could keep Johnson and sign Spence but most would just  be squad players I think. Samba for instance is a very good Championship keeper but good enough for the PL?

Can’t see them signing nearly a new XI so would expect 5-6 of this team to be first teamers for next season with 5-6 new players added.  Would be surprised if they prioritised a new number one

“We’re not in the business of developing other teams players”.  A quote from an interview with RTV a few months back. 

That’s the way it should be. In my opinion, a loan should only be signed if you think you have a chance of the play offs and the correct loan might get you over the loan. To sign a loan to finish 12th instead of 15th is madness. We have a long term plan and good to see Pearson not wavering to fans calls for loans

Can’t help but think if an English side played like that and won the reaction around Europe would be that our sides can’t play but because it’s Real Madrid they’re world beaters 

I don’t really get the anti Liverpool stuff though, they’re a english based team and I’ve even supported arsenal in a champions league final before. Don’t get why people wanted Madrid to win yet another one 

Liverpool fans themselves say they aren’t English. Think that’s one reason why there is anti Liverpool stuff.

All joking aside how much luck did they have throughout the tournament, lucky against all three English clubs but fair play to them 24 shots to 4 

Is scoring late goals lucky?  

Liverpool have a big problem scoring in finals this season. 

Lack of final third composure will cost Liverpool tonight. Been so many times they have been rash 

get in.

The relevance is you said he would get in Liverpools team,with 26 touches and not willing to run he wouldn’t 

Same amount of touches as Diaz and Mane so guessing you wouldn’t pick them as well.

Is it not laws of the game, rather than rules?

Haha does it matter ?!

But they wouldn’t get in Liverpools team either 

Not sure of the relevance. You asked a question and I answered it

Don’t you find that shocking.

No. It’s more than their two wingers and more than Modric!

Only just slightly more than the Liverpool keeper then 

Double.
