William Gaillard, sometmes referred to as Gaylord, has now been given a new name. From now on his name is: The Guy ftom UEFA. Well in Tom.

This UEFA comedy/tragedy shouldn’t be between Liverpool FC and UEFA. It concerns every fan of every club in Europe. If UEFA continues to neglect the lives and security of the football fans and repeatedly stage finals like in Athens, we will one day have a disaster. That disaster could involve us or any other club with a big fan base. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to contact the supporters of the other G14 clubs, and see if a joint protest could be made? One thing is the outrageous accusations now being made against us by UEFA, but the most important thing must be to ensure that the upcoming disaster never takes place. Anyone got the web-links to internet sites for supporters of the other big clubs in Europe?

I don’t agree with you David. This is not about words or adjectives. It’s all about sticking to the facts and not let this outrageous attack against us take the focus of the real issue; the incompetence shown by UEFA itself. Actually I think Rick’s first reaction is good. There’s nothing wrong in using a civilized language. Stay calm and point to the facts. Demand that the report is made public. Demand evidence for the accusations made. But don’t let UEFA get away with this. Don’t stop until the real truth is there for everyone to see. In short: Keep your foot on the pedal Rick! In a week or two we’ll se if Rick’s handled this well or not. IMHO his initial reaction looks promising.

Nice start Mr. Parry. Now remember to keep your foot on the pedal. UEFA`s gone too far this time. Let’s get the facts on the table. Let’s have an enquiry over all the incidents. Let’s be on their backs until their case falls apart for everybody to see. Whenever something goes wrong on a stadium the host is penalised by UEFA. Denmark will now suffer for whatever went wrong in Copenhagen. Norwegian FA was penalised for what visiting Bosnian fans did in Oslo. But when UEFA itself hosts a match they’re never to blame. These claims from UEFA is an outrage. We must not stop until the truth’s revealed.

They seem to love their UEFA hymn. It´s always going on live at TV. Next CL-match we could easily outsing that silly tune. Make up a good song. What about: We hate Michel Plaitini. We hate Bill Gaillard too. We hate the twats in UEFA. But Liverpool we love you.

Good post Andy. But we should not forget either that UEFA year after year repeatedly neglects security issues. If UEFA doesn´t change their attitude towards these problems, we will have a catastrophy one day. That could be with Liverpool FC in it or not. The Athens situastion is probaly going to end with the world pointing their fingers at us. Nothing will change and one day .... may God forbid but it seems unlikekly they´ll do anything to avoid it. Just think what might have happend in Greece had Milan not beat ManU.

Wrong decision for the first goal or not. Handball or not. Bent ref or not. Better team than them or not. Bottom line is AC Milan 2 Liverpool FC 1. We got beat! So congratulations to AC Milan, Champions of Europe. Time to move on!

I voted "no". I don´t care about this not giving him a second chance. I´m worried he wouldn´t be good enough. His game has always been about speed, with the injuries he´s had and his age I´m worried he, like Robbie, would be a shadow of what he was, only never as good a finisher as Robbie still is. I´d prefer some fresh blood.

For those who´ve been lucky enough to get tickets, this is where we stay: CAT 1 = alongside pitch general public and limited tickets for both teams CAT 2 = corners for supporting teams CAT 3 = liverpool fans . neutral section block 32a or 4c - block 32,34,34,35 and 1,2,3,4 and 5 Seating Plan link: http://www.oaka.com.gr/seating_plan.asp

Think about it. There´s 9k neutral sone tx, and more than 20k tx for greeks and UEFA++. At an inflated price a huge amount of these (15-20k?) will find their way to the black market. Don´t be surprised if supply is higher than demand, thus lowering the prices. To be sure of a ticket you´d obviously have to pay over the odds, but I think prices will drop significantly as we´re getting closer to kick-off. So stay calm and positive and there´s every hope you´ll be sorted. There´s not going to be any competion from the Italians either as they haven´t sold out their original allocation. Those of you going without a ticket will be sorted me thinks. But please beware of forgeries. The way tickets are allocated is a tragic joke. They say theý want to fight touting, yet they do everthing possible to feed the black market.

I know it´s too late now, but for later occations this might be of interest. When applying through the UEFA ballot you´re asked to choose what cat. of tickets you want. Then you´re asked if you want a chance for another cat if you´re not lucky with the one you apllied for. This means most people apply for cat. 1 hoping that if they´re not lucky there they might have more luck with cat. 2 or cat.3, giving them three shots for a ticket. I´ve been told that´s not how it works. They split the application into three pots, cat 1-3. Then they make the draw from each cat. If you´re not lucky in the cat. 1 draw, you´ll only be in the cat.2 draw if there´s not enough applications for that cat., which of course it is. Most tickets in the UEFA ballot for the neutral section were in cat. 2 with fewer applications than cat. 1! I know personally 4 succesful applications in cat. 2, like mine. I don´t know this for a fact but it´s what I´ve been told. Looks like it´s the way to apply anyway. I was lucky last year and this year. Some of my mates were too. Seems to me like we had a 30% chance of winning. Advice is coming too late I know, but there´s allways going to be another ballot later.

I was lucky in the UEFA ballot and got myself a ticket for the final in the neutral section. I guess Liverpools 17k allocation is mostly behind a goal, which goal?

Probably better to drive all the way to Bari or Brindisi. Ferries going from both cities. Around 8 hour from Brindisi to Greece mainland if I think, and then 3-4 hours by train to Athens. Enjoy! Or you could gather 180 of your closest friends and book you own aircraft, that'll be quicker and probably cheaper too. Good luck anyway.

UEFA is a joke. They’re an accident waiting to happen. Security my arse. There’s a reason why supporters are kept away from each other at matches, it’s a sound security regulation. Yet UEFA sells 8000 tickets to what they call a neutral section for the CL-final. If we get to the final against the mancs, those tickets would sell at £1000 or more. The “neutral section” would be a section with 4000 Liverpool fans and 4000 ManU fans all mixed together. Interesting to say the least.

Is it possible to bet on ManU not playing in next years CL group stages (for what ever reason)? If so, what are the odds? Two possibilities; 1. Chelsea win the PL. Liverpool win the CL: ManU would then have to play a qualifier, wouldn’t they? 2. Banned

Why? Why is Chelsea starting from behind? These are words of a frightened man. When Maureen and his boys enter Anfield they’ll be vvvvery nnnnervous. Let us petrify them, let us give them this numb feeling of “Oh no, we’ll loose it, I just know we will, oh dear .. oh dear…”

Or we could just do as we're used to. Raise our right hand like this:

Let's make sure they shit themselves. Let's make sure we don't. We're Liverpool, we'll welcome them to Anfield. They'll be petrified. Can't wait either. Victory will be so sweet.

I don’t care if he’s Gandalf or Winnie the Pooh in disguise as long as he can do miracles like that. Whoever he is, treat him with respect. After all he’s the one who invented pussies you know.

Good post! Nice to see you and Adam S with a positive attitude. Chelsea in the semi again – it’s going to be a cracker. Anybody on here nervous? Poofters! Maybe somebody’s going to shit themselves, let’s make sure they’re all dressed in blue colour. We’re the 12th man. We are Liverpool for God’s sake. Let’s give those rent-boys hell when they come to visit our sweet home. Let them be afraid of us. Never ever let them frighten us. Bring’em on!

This must never happen, Someone's got to stop this. And guess what, that someone is going to be us. There's an remarkable old bloke with a white beard up there somewhere, he can transform halftime deficits of 0-3 into wins you know. He'll help us. Have faith darling.

Why didn't you tell us you were in the 150-a-night league? The penthouse suite over at Radisson SAS is vacant I think, quite a cosy little nest I've been told. Have a nice trip.

Have had the same problem. Had to go all the way to Southport for a place to sleep. It's Ok though, 40 min's by train from the Central station. This time of year accomodation is available and not too expensive up there. Had a nice twin room at £50 pr. night (25 each for me and my mate). Good luck!

As long as the team creates chances I don't care wheter they are for Kuyt or made by Kuyt. His workrate is phenomenal. To beat flair teams like Barca players like Kuyt is essential. I believe out most important players against Barca were Carra, Momo and Kuyt. The don't let you have an inch, not a split of a second. They're all over you, allways. If he can improve his skill and touches it would be even better. But we need Kuyt even on his current form.
