Liverpool are awful

Mad set up, the most obvious thing for me has always been imagining what it would have been like if budget flying was a thing and followings were as they are now, some of these second tier teams would be taking 5, 6k with them.

But the maddest bit of it all for me is that domestic group stage part, slogging it out home and away against teams you play in your own league (and in 2 leg coca cola cup games too) before you even get chance to play in Italy!

Horrendous

Sure we played Tranmere home and away in our 93 season.

We won at Tranmere on a night when Aiden Davison stopped everything and Rioch had a tantrum and put several players, Inc the newly arrived Steve Fulton, on the transfer list.

They have also cancelled a friendly against Blackburn.

I read they had just moved the Blackburn game from Oakwell to another venue, behind closed doors.

Glad this got a mention 

The ding-dong 3-3 draw between Bolton and Brescia at Burnden Park in 1993 should have whet the appetite for more nights of continental grandeur. If not for the Gheorghe Hagi goal at the fabled supermarket end, then for Pierluigi Collina officiating the game.

Cant find the goal but found this

 

 

Cracking clip that👏.

I remember that Hagi goal, it was a belter.

The same pub team that 7 days ago reported they had sold 8000 season tickets. 

It’s a fair sized pub.

Just stumbled across the u21s playing Spain 

First two players I recognise are both over 21, Gordon and Gibbs White 

Just change the name to u23s if you're going to play u23s

They were under 21 when the qualification started....

 

That's me hoping for him to have a sneaky 4.0 value in FPL up in smoke!

Question is why. Hope theres a Toughsheet Crescent in Castleford.

This is near me. Nearly bought a house on Goldstone years ago.

 

Haha this is a mad discovery. Bet it’s in every town ha.

I'd rather live on here than Prenton Gardens 😀
