Steve Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I have joked about 'warm balls' and rigged drawings before on this forum. I never believed it could happen, however, the following is too much of a coincidence. A Liverpool forum had a post about a guy who said the drawing was rigged and already taken place and he got the exact drawing and posted at 10:28 am, 1.5 hours BEFORE the actual drawing and said the bookies wouldn't take his bet. Well, you can see it for yourself. Too much of a coincidence or as you all say its 'bollocks'? http://forums.liverpoolecho.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=33755&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Fri Mar 14, 2008 10:28 am Post subject: Possible leak of draw -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumour going around draw has been leaked..... this is no doubt rubbish but if Rumour is true it's LFC - arsenal and Chelsea - fenerbache and manure v roma No bookies will take bets on the draw either.......

sayjann Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 i couldn't give a toss if it was rigged. i'm happy with Roma,but i've probably jinxed my Team saying that....... but a Semi with Barcalona might be on the cards and that would be a toughie. but to win it you gotta beat the best.......

Mekong Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 The football was not as free flowing as in the past few games but the most important thing was the result, 2-0 away from home in Italy at this stage of the competition is a strong statement of intent. Excellent away performance, defended solidly and caught them with two goals on the break, Rooney on the wing for his battling defensive qualities and Ronaldo as a lone Centre forward who scored a classic centre forwards goal. As you may imagine, I am quite happy after last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayjann Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 a very competent performance. for once MU put 2 men upfront(eventually)but as usual they rotated the Players throughout the Game. 2-0 away in Italy is a massive result. can't see Roma winning by 3 Goals at OT....... :thumbdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel Kurtz Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Attack! Attack! Attack! 1-1 at home means Arsenal donâ??t need to obsess about defending from the start tomorrow evening against Liverpool Arsenal can play expansive football from the kick-off tomorrow evening. The away goals rule means that, realistically, it wonâ??t matter a lot if they take risks and concede one. Liverpool are ahead already, Arsenal need to score. Those two facts should shape Arsenalâ??s approach. If the Gunners do get one, then the difference between letting one or none in themselves is the difference between playing extra time and going through after 90 minutes. In the former scenario, it will be Liverpool who are jumpy as a second away goal would really put Arsenal in the driving seat. Of course, they canâ??t be reckless. They donâ??t want to find themselves two down on the night, as needing to score two goals against a Benitezâ?? team solely intent on defending is not a good situation. Arsenal have created enough chances in the first two games of the trilogy to have convinced that they can score at Anfield, and over recent years, their general record there is good, with a couple of aberrations we wonâ??t dwell upon. Certainly there are grounds for optimism. Of course in defence, things arenâ??t all going to plan, and a much-improved performance is required. It will be interesting to see if Wenger moves Toure to full back again and re-introduces Senderos. The only feasible alternative would be to play Eboue in defence. Gilbertoâ??s role on Saturday, sitting in front of the back four seemed a ploy to deal with Peter Crouchâ??s knockdowns more than anything, a factor unlikely to count at Anfield unless Liverpool find themselves needing a goal in the last thirty minutes. Anyhow, the bottom line is this. Arsenal can play their natural attacking game and would probably be best served doing just that. Frankly, with the home team unlikely to be allowing a lot of space in their own half, a cautious approach would seem pointless given the standing of the tie. Some big performances will be required, along with a bit of luck. Wenger does have the players to produce, the big question is how much is left in the tank. Looking at some of the players on Saturday though, I accept that is something of a worry. There is no point in going over old ground about the depth of the squad, thatâ??s for the summer. Wengerâ??s best chance of a trophy now is the one played for in Moscow in little over a monthâ??s time. It would be a remarkable achievement, but not an impossible one. If the team can drag four decent performances out of themselves, this season will not the letdown it looks in danger of becoming. Keep the faith.
