You'd imagine that Real will win six times and Ludogorets will lose at least five times, which leaves us and Basel. 4 points from those two games should be enough.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd be disappointed if we lost at home to Madrid. Draw at least. Loss at their place is almost certain though
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you for real?
Have you seen their starting 11?
Anything better than a 3 goal loss and I'll be extremely happy!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're being ridiculous, Real Madrid don't beat all the bottom half teams in La Liga by 3, why would they do that to us?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I do agree with you, but to be fair the teams in La Liga don't have Glen Johnson in defence.
Anyhow, good luck from a Madrid fan. Looking forward to it.
.......................................................................................
And your lot to ioag, although I dont suspect you'll be needing much luck!
Still a great game for both sides & a tie that will make it feel like we're really back at last.
Agree with the general consensus on the group. Although if we're not on it in Switzerland it could be a very long night.
Happy but not going overboard.

Not a case of disagreeing though. It's extremely unlikely we could win it. But it was extremely unlikely in 05. Bit no one can say catorgorically that we can't win it.....

I think the two key games for us will be Real and Basle at Anfield.
If we can win both of them, and beat Ludogoretz home and away, we are golden.
Real can do us a big favour by beating Basle home and away. That would leave us in a strong position as I don't think we will lose to Real twice.

He wasn't even saying we won't win it, he said we won't challenge. It's not too crazy to suggest we could reach the quarter-finals. Sp uds and Moyes Utd managed it ffs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exactly. The key is getting out the group. Do that and anything can happen....

Cheers Major. I'd never say no to a good slice of luck, you never know when you'll need it. We haven't exactly got a good record against you guys either.
Btw, it was only recently while reading Sid Lowe's "Fear and Loathing in La Liga" that I learnt that you username was a/the nickname used in England to refer to Puskas. Coincidence or admiration?

Thats true. Even the best need the rub of the green at times but the Anfield game should be a cracker.
Admiration ioag!
When I was a young lad my dad went to watch him play a charity match in south Liverpool (Garston I think) with the great Billy Liddell. Remarkable in itself that a superstar of the game would play in such a low-key match but it was all for a good cause.
Anyhow he got a full crowd & he did the business, the story was just about the best I'd heard, he was the greatest player of them all as far as my old man was concerned, so to see him even post-retirement in the flesh must have been wonderful.
He's the player from before your time for me who you wanted to be! So as far as a username went I thought he'd do.
very happy with this.............
Nice story mate. Yeah, from the little I've read about him he was supposed to be a really likeable guy.
Heard he could look after himself as well, if not a bit mad at times!
Yes great gesture by him though, I've heard thats a very good read by the way?
Obviously for you as a Madrid fan but I imagine it would unveil a lot about the big two rivalry.
Yes.. Let's hope that by the time we face Madrid brendan has seen sense and puts the most dribbled past player in our squad last season (flanagan) in for glen johnson. In direct opposition against bale..
That's gonna turn out fantastically!!
If city can put three past put defence so can Madrid! With spades to spare, I'm not a defeatist I'm a realist. It's ttliv not me who swears about every player if we are losing on the match threads.
And I never post knee jerkers after a game because I have REALISTIC expectations, not a defeatist attitude.
Happy with this draw and will be trying to get tickets to the away leg against Madrid
We couldn't of got a better draw, a huge game with Madrid which is what the CL is all about and two teams who we """should be able to beat"""and go through.
Great stuff
Ps, gutted we never tried to get Alonso
Ps, gutted we never tried to get Alonso
.............................................................
Why?
He'll be on very high wages & simply wouldn't fit in this side with Gerrard.
Unless something happened to Gerrard, Rodgers isn't dropping his skipper. Both in the same side would be a disaster. One or the other sitting on the bench wouldn't be happening neither.
He had a good time at Anfield, better to remember that to be honest than what 'could've been'.
