We havent had champs league for 3 years now

Just not as easy to get in these days, there is really a core 6 or 7 of sides that could get in it and we're still 8th in the league

If Everton started brighter in the league, I would add them too!

Fingers crossed Luiz and Cahill both miss the final the dampen chelsea's chances of winning that bit more, mind you it might be of more help if Luiz played.

Chelsea will win in Munich no matter who plays.
It's destiny for them to win it with their worse side in years... and then sack the manager.

Their manager is one of the very few people in that team I would be happy for.

Another reason why what I said will happen will happen. It's just the way things are sometimes.

The new United kit is fuckin awful. Looks really chavvy.


I love our new kit! I don't normally buy football tops but I think it's boss, Warrior had to get it right being relatively unknown as a subsidiary of New Balance in this country and I think they have nailed it. Made up we have reverted back to the Liver Bird

Sevens how do you think the loss of Adidas will affect the club? We was talking about this the other day and you have to think that many liverpool fans who buy all the training jackets etc, are they likely to spend 40/50 pound of a jacket made by a brand they have never heard of?

I am not sure how much this Warrior are paying the club but it will be interesting what prices they try to command for gear, you don't pay adidas prices for Kappa products or whatever if you get me? It wont be so much an issue with the replica shirts, but all the training products etc I think might not sell as well just on the basis it has a unknown producer's badge on which would cause them a a pretty big loss I would of thought.

Is it true Adidas ditched Liverpool because of the no champions league football? Changing sponsors is a big deal for clubs but this one of liverpools seems to of been done pretty quiet. No doubt the owners of the club are not thick with what they have achieved, but I would like to know how happy they are with losing adidas and taking on an unknown to the UK brand or how much of a choice they had in the loss of adidas if it was mutual or not.

Record deal mate, 25m a year! That's all we see, any other revenue goes to Warrior as was the case with Adidas, it's a great kit and a great deal

Anyone seen this for clutching at straws, surely City could have the same complaints and they haven't even won the league yet, expect it from the S*n but not a broadsheet  Undecided Lips Sealed

 Aaron. It seemed to me that Adidas where just coming across bitter when they came out with that statement.
 I was looking at the finances for all clubs, can't find the link now, I think it 40% of LFC revenue comes from media and mainly tv. That's even in the years without champions league also. So this was why they seemed bitter to me.

 With regards to the other Warrior gear. The new home shirt is somewhat street smart with the collar and almost polo shirt design. If the rest of the stuff has that kind of cross over street look to it they will do fine. Add to that that Liverpool fans see them as a company who took a chance on us with such a big deal that maybe they will try to pay them back.

 Like 7's I don't buy the shirts. It's such a rip off that one company makes 1 shirt and uses it for loads of teams just changing the color. Generic shit if you will.
 With warrior taking a chance on us and the shirt being the only one of its make and design on the market then I will be purchasing 4 for me and my family. I will probably buy the kids the away or third one also.

Biggest pile of bollocks i've read all season!  What a load of shite.

Anyway on to something more positive.

Absolutely delighted that Vinnie has been awarded Barcays player of the season!  Well deserved and it shows that finally defenders are getting the same recognition as forward players.  To beat off a whole host of other players who have been outstanding this season as well makes it all the more special.  And to think he wasn't even nominated for the PFA player of the year award.

As for Pardew getting manager of the year, I don't see how it could have gone elsewhere to be honest, great achievement from him.
