Honestly, no. Zenit have a 2-0 lead, and an average away record in Europe. It'll be a win for Liverpool, question is by how many.

I think your being generous by saying average away record.

Bet with me instead then soddy ;-)

How likely would you be to call the bet in?

If it's highly likely, I'd probably only bet one at a time

Exactly. 4/1 isn't at all generous.

I'd take Zenit at 4/1 over Liverpoo at 20/1. Zenit are twice the team Liverpool are. Even West Brom beat Liverpoo at Anfield - less than two weeks ago in fact

I remember that game, Azzy.

West Brom had a total of around 3 shots and absolutely robbed Liverpool.

I remember the game too, Liverpoo had lots of tame efforts at goal, passed the ball around for 80mins doing no damage at all, Suarez dived to win a penalty which Gerrard had brilliantly saved by Foster, then Albion took Liverpoo apart in the last 10mins with some beautiful counter-attacking. Albion were never in any danger that game - apart from the dive and resulting penalty.

Oh, and Suarez got booked for simulation in injury time too. Funny how no one has mentioned that in the media either

Zenit at 4/1 when they wont win is crazy. A draw is worthwhile but I have a feeling Liverpool will win. 2-1/3-1 and go out though.

Why won't Zenit win Marky? They're the better team after all.

Albion only started to counter attack when they got a goal from a set piece. Before that they were letting the game peter out to a 0-0 draw.

I know you're a West Brom fan, but even you can't dress up that Albion deserved to win that one.

WBA absolutely robbed Liverpool in that game, which made it all the funnier. Foster put in possibly the best goalkeeping performance I have seen all season in that match

My favourite line...

"Albion took Liverpoo apart in the last 10mins "

That would belong on the RAWK twitter account if it was the other way around

Soddy - we counter attacked for the 5mins before that goal, it just so happened that our first shot of the game was the one that won the corner.

And yes, we thoroughly deserved to win. For all their 24 shots and 60% possession, we weren't under threat at any point except for the dive/penalty. They're ticki-tacka merchants, and not very good at it.

Olly - Foster's pen save was brilliant, but a lot of the others were routine saves, added up together meaning a lot of saves made. But he's had plenty of better games for us over the last season and a half.

No mention of the PS4 lads? I thought it looked rubbish, and their menus have copied the XBOX ones. Really poor unveiling, especially with the lack of actual PS4

Zenit at 4/1 when they wont win is crazy.

Why wont Zenit win Marky?
No many though Milan would win last night. Liverpool have this tendency to go smash a team (Swansea) & then lose/draw next few.
Zenit are a better team too.

BB Gossip page:
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is drawing on the spirit of the 'ghost goal' - against Chelsea in the semi-final by Luis Garcia - that took the club to the 2005 Champions League final in a bid to turn around their Europa League tie against Zenit St Petersburg at Anfield on Thursday.
Full story: Daily Telegraph l
Brendan Rodgers hoping for a goal that shouldn't be a goal, I mean come on how stupid can you get! You could interpret that as he is saying they need some luck (which they do) or interpret it as my players are too carp to get the job done themselves so im hoping for a referee mistake to help us.
Either way, that doesnt show confidence to me.

Don't forget, this is the same guy that said losing 2-0 away from home was the 'perfect away performance'

I distinctly remember saves from Borini and Gerrard which were more than "routine" saves

Oh yeaaaah Liverpool managers of late have given us some great comedy. "near-on perfect performance" were his exact words I believe hahaha

Azzy Mahmood wrote:Don't forget, this is the same guy that said losing 2-0 away from home was the 'perfect away performance'

The big mistake that Liverpool have made is not employing Roberto Martinez and Paulo Sousa first. How can Rodgers take credit for attractive passing style if those two haven't embedded it in the side first

Morning

WBA deserved to win that game, I don't understand how Liverpool deserved it. It's not like it was a dodgy referee decision that cost Liverpool the game.

I hate the term "we deserved to win" no you don't, just because you had more possession and shots does not give you the right. Its like Olly saying that Norwich deserved something against United when they missed loads of chances.

Ah classic Wenger

I ballsed up on FUT
I bought InForm Lewandowski for 126k coins. Changed him to a Center Forward as there isnt an In Form version on the market & he hasnt sold in a day.
Im starting to panic a little.

CF's aren't that popular on FUT. Lew isn't that popular as a forward either.

CF's aren't that popular on FUT. Lew isn't that popular as a forward either.

I always come up against teams with 4411, 4231, 4312 formation which use CF position & most the bundesliga teams I come up against have Lewandowski in their team.
Due to that I thought it made sense to make a CF In Form one and try exploit the fact there isnt one on auctions. Starting to Look like I was wrong.
What you reckon I should do? I would like to recoup the 127k I spent.

Milan played the perfect game last night. I can see Barca going out

And if the EuroDivision is only a year old, what preceeded that?

Work in recruitment Azzy, moving up to TL as of now

Move him back to ST.

St>CF cards are cheap I think so its cheaper just to buy a ST

When did I say that? We beat you...

I had an ace time in my two games on FUT last night, with my new signings of IF Mandzukic and an IF Holtby...

Game 1:
My FUT 6-1 TOTW on Ultimate
Holtby x3 (including this goal: http://www.ea.com/uk/football/videos/ugc/151979035 - which for some reason EA ballsed up the camera angle for)
Mandxukic x2
Iniesta (with an absolute pearler of a ball from Xavi, outside of the boot from 40 yards through to his left peg, smashed into top corner first time)

Game 2:
My FUT 3-2 some guy
Holtby
Iniesta
Mandzukic in the last minute

Two games, Holtby 4 goals, including one beauty, Mandzukic 3 goals, and Iniesta 2 in 2 after scoring 2 in 19 before that

Good lad Gregers. Maybe you could recruit Olly a girlfriend

By getting his mum pregnant?

Nice, well done Greggers.
I always fancied recruitment. what sector do you deal with greggers?

I mean last season at O.T when we beat you 2-0 and you guys spurned a lot of chances then you said that Norwich deserved a win which I disagreed on and Lord afroo had to settle the argument.

Ah right! I'm fairly sure I didn't say we deserved a win, and if I did I was clearly wumming lol

I get the principles of marketing and trying to expand the audience.

My point is more that is not a tour of Italy when it is 100 miles away. Same for the Tour de France starting in Yorkshire.

They should change the names

"Tour de France (and a bit of Yorkshire)"

Tour de France and Yorkshire doesn't have the same ring to it

They should start it at Newcastle FC, that would make more sense

Especially when it visits other countries as well.

"Tour de France, Yorkshire, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Ireland once, probably Germany etc"

It's got a ring to it.
