UEFA Champions League 2017/18

[DavidMarrio]

It's our year. 

[MDK]

Bayern vs Real
Liverpool vs Roma

[Tigerstyle]

Holy moly that Liverpool Football Team got the dream draw there?

Bookmakers are giving them joint favourites with the Real Madrids

[Nerf]

Can't believe the leaked Roma/Liverpool draw from yesterday actually came true, right down to the home/away divide and date of the second leg.

Not even sure you can call the heated balls theory a conspiracy anymore.

The odds of that happening in a draw containing only four teams are hardly astronomical, mind.

1 in 12, but given it appeared on Roma's website itself, seems highly suspect. Given Blatter has claimed they do it, certainly lends credence to the idea.

Well, exactly. We already know the entire sport is corrupt, doesn't take much convincing that it extends to the other governing body.

There's four teams in the draw, very few different possible outcomes. Hardly a cause to get the tin foil hats out.

To get the teams, order of tie, and very date of the fixture? There's an 8.3% chance of them randomly getting all that right.

Right...which means it is perfectly feasible. And it's as likely as any other scenario? People so often forget that "random" means that the expected or hoped for draw is just as likely as not. If you'd asked me yesterday to predict the draw it would have taken me all of five seconds to posit that Liverpool may in fact draw Roma and be at home first.

Anyway, if I were a Liverpool fan I'd just be delighted to have drawn Roma, it's easily the preferred option here.

It'll still be a tough game but it's the best team on paper. If we did get the final I like our chances in a one off game against Bayern / Madrid.

 Is Grant Holt able to move more than 5 yards in any direction?

No joke on nothing, he may be coming to WAW in the near future. He'll need to move further than that to get across the entire ring though...

I agree. If you love the romance of it all, Roma is a great semi final (Salah and of course the 84 final) and Bayern in the final to see if Klopp can avenge the Wembley defeat when he was Dortmund manager would be brilliant.

Liverpool is an anagram of 'I love Pol R'.

/pol/ and R (Reddit) are one of the main sources of fake news and disinformation coming out of Russia, which is really just a cover for the Illuminati.

'Guardiola' is an anagram of 'A Oil Guard', which is what Syria is actually doing for the Russians/Illuminati.

The 'offside' goal not given when Man City were making a comeback? Barcelona (Catalonia) uncharacteristically shitting the bed against Roma (Roman Empire)? Those bastions of anti-corruption Juventus being knocked out by a paid off referee? Mo Salah obviously being a cyborg and/or lizard man super soldier?

Connect the dots sheeple.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Can't believe Roma let the semi final slip into their website early. Liverpool would never let anything slip so carelessly 

[Szumi]

So nervous. Roma are going to pack the midfield tonight. It's vital to get the ball out to Salah and Mane early when we can to exploit the wide areas, and play with the same effort as the QF. Let's do this!

[9 to 5]

Come on goals!

Liverpool's plastic flags are shit if they break that fast. 

[MDK]

Again, as is tradition, I am listening to Orient on the wireless and watching Champions League on the tele.

Lets go goals! Except that I have Liverpool to win and over 3.5 goals.
