Paul Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 You didn't distract our keeper in the process did you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Paul, your goalkeeper certainly through a couple in the net , which was the difference between the two teams really. Is your goalkeeper Scottish Some goal from Bale , Ronaldo is a shadow of the player he once was. Enjoy the rest of your weekend . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Goalkeeping has been our problem for years. Still, we are Liverpool, we go again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 Sadly I never saw the match,bad luck Liverpool. Money drives the game.The talk about selling Wembley I think is a disgrace. It's the National stadium and I believe should stay like that and not sold to the highest bidder. They say it will give lots of money to grass roots football. I seem to remember they said that when they sold the rights to sky and other net works.For sure it's brought lots of money to the top flight,Not so much to the lower leagues. Why not have a sort out at the FA and get some replacement with forward thinking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Money certainly does drive the game, nearly £800 for my season ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simondo Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Unashamedly I was glad Real won ? (being a city fan!). Thought that Salah going off was pivotal and after that Real were worthy winners, especially the Bale goal. Really feel for Karius, that will potentially ruin his career I hope he gets good personsl support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely right Ian, in fact nothing at all in real terms. Clubs will tell you that money from TV deals allows them to filter money down into their local grass roots game but in reality very few even make an attempt. The formation of the Premier League was all about the twenty teams involved being able to keep all of the money paid for sponsorship and TV rights and they don't let go of it easily.

Paul Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I have long held the opinion that clubs finances be better controlled, and that clubs should pay a fee to the FA on a rising scale based on the level of their income. Loopholes used by the big clubs to bring in money from sugar daddy owners need to be closed. I grew up in an era where at least half of the 22 teams in (the then) Division 1 had a realistic chance of winning it. Now, at best you have to say there are three, and for the next few years it looks like that number could be reduced to the lowest cardinal number.
