[Football] Believe in Omens?
In 1978
Liverpool made it to the League Cup final and lost (1-0 to forest 2nd reply)
Liverpool after the defeat to Forest in the League cup, win the European cup
And perhaps rather freakily the Pope dies
2005
Liverpool made it to the League Cup final and lost to chelsea
Pope dies
Liverpool are in the semis...
An omen maybe?

Re: [Football] Believe in Omens?
It doesn't matter if Liverpool do make it to the finals or not, the dutchies won't get past AC.
I'd rather Liverpool win the competition but i honestly can't see them beating Chelski.

Re: [Football] Believe in Omens?
1988 was the last time that PSV managed to get to the 2nd round of the Europacup. Coach then? Guus Hiddink ^_^

don't be silly. english footballteams are probably the most under-achieving teams in Europe, when you take their budget into consideration.
my bets are on AC Milan to beat Chelsea in the final this year. for next year i think Barca will win.

Re: [Football] Believe in Omens?
Not than Chelsea they don't.
And Man Utd have the biggest turnover.
Anyway, we can expect Chelsea to be the second team to be relegated to 3rd league in 27years time can we Ste?

Unless Abramovich loses all his money, then he'll leave behind a team with no debt and excellent facilities. "Nothing", probably, beyond not making huge numbers of transfers.

Man Utd have hardly underachieved over the years. And while they've had the biggest turnover they haven't spent as much as Real Madrid and Barcelona.
And Chelsea have only had a big budget this year and they're hardly underachieving.

Yes, That's what I was getting at...
In 78 we won the League and League cup...
Well, I doubt any team will ever take away our crown of "team from the smallest city to win the European cup"

If I understood that thread the other day, and I probably didn't...
Stuart Hall =! *
(I'm basically saying they need swapping)

Re: [Football] Believe in Omens?
Nobody , and i do mean ABSOLOUTELY ****ING NOBODY can match a Stuart Hall commentary.
Who the hell else does shakespearian acting during a commentary on a Wigan match?

Re: [Football] Believe in Omens?
That definately wont be easy no.
But:
In 1988, against a French club (Bordeaux), PSV reached the semi finals through 2 draws.
2005, against Lyon (French club) PSV reached the semis through 2 draws also.
Do omens get any clearer?

Who was talking about reaching the semis? I was talking about PSV won't be reaching the final due to AC Milan.
Remember, AC Milan is no French club.
