    Be interesting to see what the attendance would have been if the Liverpool Man U game was on tonight instead of Monday.

    Very few irish ppl support Man City compared to Utd and Lpool. Just goes to show that irish ppl are event junkies. We love special occasions like these or going over to england to see a game, but when it comes to the average humdrum LOI fixture ppl are less enthusiastic.

    The winners of the next leg play the runners up of the Champions league groups, then the winners of that game play the winners of the champions league groups.

    Yes….. You have a lot of decent footballers there. No room for chubby checkers anywhere! Posh boy….you weren’t the lad on about goal difference between Dundalk and Cork defences were you yesterday? Less said about the MASSIVE +3 goals between teams the better.
