Pogue Mahone Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 I've had a few gins, but imo Klopp goes into the mount rushmore of football managers. Just all round nice bloke who happens to be an absolute football genius, but also incredibly humble at the same time. I'm a Cardiff fan so completely neutral. But Klopp is what all modern day football manager should live up to. Now let me go and pour myself another gin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 Gave my friend who doesn't follow soccer at all the tip to put Liverpool winning in his weekend parlay, accounting for City's war of attrition in Madrid this week. All's well that ends well but I think he was about to kill me at the end of this lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidMarrio Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 Getttinnnnnn!!!! Absolutely demolished them the first half. 3-2 flattered them. Also their fans can get fucked for booing and chanting during the minutes silence for Hillsborough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah absolutely. Show me a manager that doesnt whine. 12 minutes ago, DavidMarrio said: Getttinnnnnn!!!! Absolutely demolished them the first half. 3-2 flattered them.

But agreed - booing any memorial, especially a memorial for 97 people, is peak cunt. Fuck the lot of them. EDIT: If you want to despair at humanity, go have a look at the Man City forums. Jesus.

It's the reverse of last week essentially I'm so glad the match was Saturday as I'm so tired today. Getting down the traffic was sound but unfortunately there was a big accident on the M6 by Birmingham so was stuck in traffic that didn't move for 90 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally only meant in the last few minutes after they got that second goal out of nowhere! They turned the pressure on and I honestly thought we might give up a third. For almost the entire second half we were in cruise control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobo Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 So, I guess the FA Cup Final is today. The 2012 FA Cup Final was the last football match I watched with people! As I watched it in a pub with my ex-girlfriend's stepfather and I think his son was also there. I don't think I have watched one since. At least not in full. I think I watched the one where Wigan won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lusophone Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 I know none of the teams I follow or support are in the Final so that may be it, but this really feels like a very underhyped event. Is it the fact that's it happening before the Prem season is over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 I'm not going to say I forgot it was on but the fact it is happening didn't really register with me. I remember watching coverage of the 2012 final on TV before I went to the aforementioned pub viewing. I vividly remember watching the 2001 final. i even watched and re-watched the 1992 FA Cup Final for a bit when I was younger and getting into football as my brother had taped the entire thing. Including a good chunk of the buildup. Maybe it is that the season is still on. Maybe it's that he FA Cup just doesn't matter as much anymore because there's just so much football now.

DavidMarrio Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 I feel the atmosphere in Liverpool is probably more on the Champions League final, outside shot of the title and then today. Pretty much the whole of town is booked for the Champions League final. I'd be proper up for this if I had a ticket but ATM it just feels like a normal game. I imagine come kick off it'll feel completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 ESPN doesn't have Premier League rights over here but they do have the FA Cup. In between NBA playoff games they've been going mad advertising it for today. And it's created a pretty cool day of sports with this and three (!!!) Game 7's in the NHL. But I still don't think a lot of Americans register the difference between this and the Premier League and the League Cup, etc. And I can't envision outside of Chelsea and Liverpool fans many people care.

Matt Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 The fact that Sky don't have it is a major reason. It basically gets a passing mention whereas they'd be hyping the hell out of it if they had the rights. Even the champions league doesn't get anywhere near the coverage it did when Sky had it. There's also the fact that it's not special any more. The semi finals are at Wembley so there's no draw there and the champions league being 4 places and so lucrative means that the fourth place trophy is more important than the FA cup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
