Hello Europa, it's been a while

If we get the final, a Liverpool game in Dublin would be one of the quickest to get to and the most chaotic times in the build up.

It's just a shame Dublin is a bit shit and overpriced.

Mac Allister derby when we play Union SG. 

Quite happy with that draw, 3 teams never seen us play and its just trips to France/Belgium/Austria

[METALMAN]

Got my ticket for USG v Liverpool in Brussels!

[DavidMarrio]

Thanks for reminding me of Moreno deciding to have a disaster of a second half which cost us the game. 

Also, Sturridge scored an absolute screamer that game

[Bobfoc]

It says a lot that only three of them started the Champions League final just two years later.

[Szumi]

Just needed to fall behind to get into the match and win! Well that, and a very, very fortunate penalty call. Once Salah came on, the match completely changed. Men against boys for him, really. Pretty sure Gravenbach isn't anything worse than a minor injury.

[Baddar]

AEK Athens just scored one of the best headed goals I've seen in ages to lead at Brighton.

[Benjamin]

AEK Athens > Manchester United 

[Baddar]

Fair

Saw it this morning on the way to work. Head like a traction engine

No way is Alexis Mac Allisters brother playing in defence against Liverpool today and his name is Kevin.

Nobody would want to go up against him defending something.

[Colly]

Gary must be so proud.

Klopp when another dodgy decision goes against them

[METALMAN]

There was a pretty decent Kevin McAllister playing a few years back, although he is most famous for being defeated by Kilmarnock in the 1997 Scottish Cup Final. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_McAllister
