Anfield leg of the Semi

[dom9]

I predict 4 - 0 to the Mighty Reds.

In some ways it's swings and roundabouts because when it comes to a penalty shoot out the home team would have the advantage of having the crowd behind them.

Can swing both ways. Barca bottled it in the 80's at Camp Nou during Maradona's time there.

To be honest, the sterile, free flag atmosphere at the Bridge is not really an advantage for them. We can and have outsung them there before.

Their fans are apparently talking about making sure the atmosphere in the second leg matches European nights at Anfield. Some chance!

That is what I thought as it has always annoyed me that one team gets 120 mins to score away goals and the other only gets 90.

I was just not sure if this had been changed for this season.

I've heard it argued that although this is the case this is evened out by home advatage ... not sure if I agree with that or not though!

I was annoyed with my job as a trainee accountant and the result pis***d me off so much I got talked into joining the Army.

11 years later I am sat here on exercise, never a dull moment tho. There have been two robberies suspected to be armed in the local area (one on the petrol station next to the camp) and the police have traced the people responsible to the camp we are on. We are all confined to the buildings until they have been caught!

where in norway, fella?

Just realized that that when we make the final I will be here for the game. I was suprised by the amount of Arsenal fans here watching the semi and even more suprised by the bloke on door wearing a Scum shirt.

I'll be on holiday in Magaluf

I would recommend to everyone to visit Norway just make sure you plenty of money!

I wouldn't choose to visit over the final either.

Beer far to expensive in that neck of the woods! Isn't it about £6 a pint?

[Angry Dan]

More than that where I am I would say 7-7.50

I think I'd sum this up by asking this question. You have a one leg Champions League game - you can play at home and you have to win, or you can go away and you get through with a scoring draw or better (0-0 is penalties). Which would you take? I'd take the home advantage and see no unbalance in the way this works.

bayern munich put out getafe in extra time on away goals last night in the uefa cup....getafe were feckin robbed....they were leading 1-0 and bayern got a late goal to send it to extra time..... then getafe went 3-1 up and again bayern came back with 2 goals in the last couple of minutes.... some game.....


getting back to the semi final.....i reckon that we will win 2-0 at anfield and chelsea will score an early goal at stamford bridge and push and push and we will catch the cnuts on the break and end up winning there 2-1.......

in my view, the second leg at home only counts as an advantage if you have something to hang onto going into the second leg..... if we beat them at anfield, which i think we will, then i think that they could be in for a long night at the bridge..... cocksuckas.....

come on liverpool

[frank the tank]

come on liverpool

not literally...

[-V-]

We must win the home leg by atleast 2 goals
