Didn't Midgetland give United a run for their money a few years back?

 

Could have been any number of teams that have given them a game over the last few years?

Just booked at apartment on the Friday and Saturday in Istanbul. Free cancellation up to 2 weeks before the final so might as well.

 

Prior preparation and all that.

Fucking Covid. Would have been a great excuse to head to the Dam.

I think about 30,000 would have gone if fans were allowed. There must be loads of regulars wanting Ajax every year. 

 

Bergamo is a nice place but I'm not sure whether their stadium is up to uefa standard as yet.

Well it appears nobody so far got Jedd Drudge's gag about Ajax , maybe its an age thing.

Not a terrible draw but will need to be switched on. 

 

Look at it the same way as I normally do. Maximum points against the worst team, maximum home points against Atalanta and Ajax and get one draw away

Beat us 5-1 over there and we drew 2-2 at Anfield 

A young Johan Cruyff played?

I think it's a great draw, too great teams over the years with great credentials. 

It's what you want, it's what it's about.

Yep, my uncle scored the only Liverpool goal in Amsterdam. No one saw it because of heavy fog!

Cracking draw...avoided cunts like Atletico and facing new teams for us in recent years.

 

Not so sure about fans being allowed depending on local situation though....seems a touch unfair on us and other PL sides for example where clearly no chance of having fans at Anfield given way govt are acting...yet me may face fans away.

Chris Lawler, he scored a few too. Great stuff.

Every now and then something happens, or you hear or see a thing that just makes you sit up and realise something or it clarifies something for you. That happened for me today when I listened to the Ajax podcast with guestRonald de Boer reacting to the draw. The way they speak about us and our players makes it clear how big a club Liverpool is, I mean we all know it but to hear it as a third party fly on the wall like that was really something.

Exactly

[easytoslip]

Watching the Big Match revisited a few days ago it said it was the first time when we played Man Utd, FA Cup I think, in 74, not sure. 

I always thought it was before that though?

I know there is unlikely to be any supporters in attendance but I’m surprised the fixtures haven’t been announced yet. 

[Scott_M]

Fixtures...
 

 

Happy the game before Citeh is the Tuesday. Not overaly happy it’s probably our toughest fixture. 

[VladimirIlyich]

Our two most difficult games are the first and third games. Hell of a start.
