so that takes us back to 1998 just after you had won 4 titles in 5 seasons, nope definitely not gloryhunting. Well played Sir
Im not from Europe and dont know anyone who was a football supporter to rely on so obviously the only name we would hear abroad was that of United since they were dominant and football didnt have a lot of media coverage overseas at the time. So in a way i do admit i started of by jumping on the bandwagon like most international supporters at the time.

UEFA in their infinite wisdom have decided to move next weeks game between Atletico and Liverpool to a neutral venue 300 km away as punishment for the racist abuse dished out to the Marseille players.
Don't get me wrong, they should be punished heavily for the antics of their fans but this seems completely ridiculous at such short notice.Ive mates that have booked flights to Madrid on Tuesday like about 3000 others and now we have to travel from there to wherever they eventually decide to stage the game on the same trains as all the Spanish fans, probably with minimal policing. It's a disaster waiting to happen and Platini / Galliard will have some serious questions to answer if this all goes tits up.

Sorry to hear that mate, that's really unfortunate. Just wear your shirt underneath lots of layers of civilian clothes

that dickhead Platini obviously is waging some sort of vendetta against the English clubs because this move has seemingly hurt the Liverpool fans more than it has Atletico Madrid.
A straight forward trip that would have otherwise been Airport - Hotel - Game - Airport has turned into something a lot more than that. This just adds more weight to the argument of Platini going a little power crazy with his decisions being made without any regard for the consequences.
Hope your friends dont have to put up with anything else other than what is already a very inconvenient situation Dublin Guy. I reckon Platini will ensure adequate security arrangements are made because he doesnt want to lose his position until he officially becomes the George Bush of UEFA.

Torres & Babel out this weekend due to injury, and Torres will more than likely miss our clash with Atletico. That's uh...that's not good
Robbie Keane better step it the fuck up for the next few weeks.

I haven't been reading much here because there's so many pages but Steven Gerrard is playing remarkably this season. Scored a stunner in CL already and for his 100th goal a bullet from a free kick. I always admired Gerrard's skill & just to think what he will be in his 30's
