ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[paultheblue]

That was the straw that broke the camels back. English teams and hooliganism were well established long before heysel. UEFA had just had enough of the English all together.

Margaret Thatcher's government pulled all English clubs out of Europe within 2 days of the disaster leaving Eufa a free hand to hit us as hard as they could.
What would have happened if we were to play in Rotterdam the week after rather than the week before?

 

[DixieScoresAgain]

Champions maybe? 2 leg knockout ties

None of the clubs will sign up for that.

No money in it for the TV or the clubs, it will be boring AF to watch IMHO.

Television is who drives football now, and that's why the CL will be revamped for saturday viewing in 3-4 seasons to entice even bigger money with streaming giants Netflix and Amazon.

Amazon already have a xmas/new year tv package in the UK for the PL, they are showing football documentaries on Prime, they are dipping their toe in regard to football and the giants of Europe and UEFA won't even be dealing with tv channels but the Streaming giants, Agnelli is driving it and he has loads of clubs behind it except for the Sky 6 and Bundesliga who voted against moving domestic football to mid week, they will obviously change when the money will be a bigger increase from a revamped CL/Super League.

Watch them today will you and break this curse. We need to try anything to stop them from winning

I am out with my family.
I didn't watch them midweek and they lost.

I did turn the radio on to hear Alexander Armstrong score within seconds so I doubt I can alter the will of satanic forces.

Wish we could be allowed to use the c-bomb in this thread.

Except Thatcher threw it out there. UEFA didn't say "do this or else".

[Walken]

All is lost

 

[davek]

All is lost

30 years and counting. And if they do win the title - I'd have taken that in a shot as a deal after they won it in 1990.

 

[Kenshin]

Seems some fans are adopting the unbearables tag line now as they win every week.

Self aware and all that

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Would be quite amusing if they maintain this five point gap through the season....................but City smash them twice and win it by a point lol

 

[Piijt]

Meanwhile some Important local news in the Red Echo...

 

[DixieScoresAgain]

They got that Monkey off their back winning a trophy, i'm not surprised they have started the season well.

Spurs are the opposite and losing that final has stalled their progression.

 

[mahermi1]

They are a very good team and work for each other, but I'll tell you what, they definitely get their fair share of good luck and refereeing decisions.....Just wonder who the hell did we upset.
