Football 17/18

That'll be Liverpool starting to believe then.

Liverpool v Roma, 70’s all over again....

[pink_triangle]

Great news, I think Madrid v Bayern was the least interesting potential final for me.

[Hugh Jass]

Liverpool fans would be advised not to pull that shit with the coach again considering the second leg is in Rome. Can’t quite see the Ultras being as forgiving as the City fans.

[mjsell]

Would you rather play Roma or Atletico?

Going to a football game today with a chance of winning a league for the first time since 1997.

For it to happen today we need LJS’s Queens Park to do us a favour  :-)

Some of us have never seen our team win a league!

Would love to oblige, Comfy. Sadly, we've only scored once against raith this season & they've put 10 past us.

I fear we may be 2 leagues apart next season.

How in the name of Jumping Jesus is Harry Kane a PFA young player nom? Hes nearly 25.

The FA making sure he wins something this year..

Hard to look past the current bottom three now for the drop. Three “established” clubs who have gotten fat, lazy and complacent over the last few years.

Feel that you've hit the nail on the head here. Some top quality players going down though, that'll never play a second in the championship. (See: Shaqiri, Butland, Allen, Evans, Tadic, Redmond etc etc)

[HeyPorter]

Alexander-Arnold could just be the best right back in this country right now.

Aye, really enjoyed the game last night. Annoyed at the penalty but only because it robbed us of the extra half hour. 

Hope for your sake you haven’t tempted fate talking about Arsenal, bad memories and comebacks :-)

Yeah, would have been great to see more. 

Nearly did tempt fate! Tough draw for the semis but probably would have had to beat them to win the whole thing.

Brighton's remaining fixtures though - Spurs, Burnley, United, City, Liverpool. They're in real danger of being dragged into it.

Can't see the Southampton lads having a relegation release clause which may make it tricky for Tadic and Redmond and the Saints will not want them to leave on the cheap!

A seven point gap is massive when there’s only 5 games left though.

There is often a team who makes a late surge and ends up surviving. I fancy Southampton might manage it as they have a few winnable fixtures for their last few games. Swansea vs Southampton will likely be a very important match for the relegation fight.

Also, Stoke have Palace then Swansea for their last couple games. Also could be big.

I dunno, blowing a two goal lead like that is the sort of thing that devastates teams.

So we get our top goal scorer and all round hero sent off in the first half and lose 2-1 due to a late penalty plus Raith beat Queen’s Park.

Our game next week is up in Alloa and has been moved to Sunday for tv ( Bbc alba ). 

Normally a one bus travel club have 11 buses full with more to come as the club are subsidising the buses again.

Its never easy !

I don't think that's usually the case. Lots of positives to take from the game. Will be interesting to see how they respond

[jyoung]

If Stoke do go down then a few of the clubs in the bottom half definitely wouldn't mind taking on the likes of Butland, Allen and Shaqiri.

[Hugh Jass]

It’s quite conceivable that we will go into the last couple of weeks of the season with the top four and bottom three pretty much sewn up. Which would be a bit dull.

I’m sure sky would stil hype up the europa league placings.

Newcastle were brilliant again! Have been since Christmas.
