The New Football Thread

[ian16th]

I remember that run well. It was also, IIRC, the start of the famous "There's only one Job on Teeside" chant !

I think that chant came later, the 2 Europa games were Maccarone's 'Golden Hour'.

That was about as long as it lasted.

It's 45 minutes more than most people get

Liverpool v Spurs Champions League Final, wonder what the odds on that were after the first legs last week.

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

It's like Number 7 buses; you wait twenty years for impossible victories by English teams in the Champions League finals, then two come along at once

[Ibbie]

Advance another day....and what will happen tonight?

[Woody]

This is going to cost me a fortune, MrsWoody not impressed, Kiev was bad, but she fell for the it’s a one off bs, but this year looks like I’m flying from JNB to MAD on Iberia , as we’ve already canx one trip to ZA due to my operation. The Tanzanite shops in CPT are on standby

[ian16th]

I’m flying from JNB to MAD on Iberia.

We did that a couple of times, it was before BA bought them, but we weren't impressed.

Only direct flight to Madrid, otherwise it’s back to LHR and try to get out on the day of the Match
Flown them a couple of times, not impressed, but BA aren’t great nowadays either.

We did one trip to Malaga which meant changing at Madrid each way, the other was a 3 cornered trip that included London, Iberia were very reasonable on price for this trip. Very little extra to fly Malaga to LHR.

On our return, when checking in at LHR, and attempting to get seats for the next leg, caused chaos!

[Wodrick]

Just what is happening ?

Just what is happening ?

It would seem that English teams have a monopoly on European footie this season.

Oh! and none of them come from Manchester!!!

[llondel]

And now Arsenal - Chelsea for the other one. You'd probably have gotten good odds on two all-English finals at the start of the season.

Aviation content - seems there are no scheduled flights between London and Baku close to the date of the final, so getting a large chunk of London over there could be an interesting exercise.

[Woody]

68000 capacity stadium for the Final, both teams receive 6000 tickets

Top six teams in Premier League, two are in Champions League Final, two are in Europa League Final and two are in Manchester

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

Where's Manchester? Is that near Grimsby?

[Ibbie]

Today it is fine to support City........Salford City that is.

Play off final to get into Football League at Wembley this afternoon.

[Ibbie]

[Woody]

Off to Anfield this afternoon, more in hope than expectation, but that’s what I thought on Tuesday night

[Ibbie]

Remember Woody, there is only one City.....Salford City!

Should have gave me more notice.Could have met you for a pint after the game.

[Woody]

Way things are going United won’t even be the biggest team in Salford !
