Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Very good point.

Super League idea worked out very well for UEFA, they got to shape the tournament as they wanted because they saw how much fans rallied against the alternative

(couple of days old, apologies if someone's already posted it, I hadn't seen it though)

Got a months sub for nowTV before xmas with the extra games on TNT as well, anyway sub is up,

I liked the convienence of not having to hunt for streams and having to reload them every 5 minutes but ultimately i'm a cheap bastard and i won't be renewing at €70 odd a month, what other cheaper options are out there if any?

There's a lad on Boards on Bargain Alerts who seems to have links to most games.

I have been using Now TV for sports and keep getting deals to renew for 6 months at a time for £20 a month

Not sure I understand? Are you looking to buy a ticket from someone potentially selling theirs on the street?? If that's the case, you have zero chance.

Exactly. Although I haven't seen touts selling outside Anfield in years. They're to busy scamming everyone now online since the move to paperless tickets.

We are continuing to use NFC (near field communication) technology for stadium entry in the new season and all tickets will be digital on a smartphone, in the form of an NFC pass.

All season ticket holders, LFC Official Members and seasonal hospitality members must download their NFC passes to their smartphone before arriving at their turnstile to ensure they are all set to gain access into Anfield.

There will be no Print@Home or paper tickets. 

There’s tickets on StubHub but they’re pricy, minimum €200. Having said that even if you did find a tout you’d be paying at least £120.

Might be worth keeping an eye on the site though, they might go down in price if there’s any available right before the game.

I had the very same thought but assumed it'd be laughed out of town. It's a very logical move if you think about it though his injury record isn't pristine I don't think. Kerkez now would be perfect but probably not an option.

If one of Robbo/Tsimi were out injured for a couple of months, i’d have no problem taking a punt on Chilwell. But otherwise im fine with waiting till the summer for Kerkez. Albeit a big bid next week witn Tsimi going the other way would be ideal!

Since Chilwell did his ACL in the 21/22 season he has had recurring issues with the same knee and his hamstring. He missed the end of last season due to his knee flaring up and Southgate opted to bring Luke Shaw who hadn't played 90 minutes of football since January into the England squad for the Euros instead of him. That was a questionable decision but perhaps the England camp were privy to more information regarding him.

He wasn't named in either the Premier League or European squads for Chelsea so he hasn't played competitive football since before the end of last season apart from 45 minutes in an early round of the Carabao Cup. He is no way fit enough to play LB for us this season and would be a major injury risk.

A move to a more pedestrian league will probably suit him best but finding a club willing to pay his wages is going to be the stumbling point for Chelsea.

And gomez can cover LB when he returns

One slight flaw in your comparison with the Conference League. Whilst it's true it only had 6 league games, most of the qualified teams had to play 2/3 rounds of games in the mid/late summer to get into that League phase. Everyone (including no-brainers like Chelsea, Fiorentina, Betis) had to play at least one play-off round. By contrast 30 of the 36 Champions League teams went straight into the 8 game group phase.

So while the Champions League has extra games this month, the Conference had the same/more games, just at an earlier stage.

Only mention it because the time I used it it worked really well. Got tickets for a Burnley game, got sent the e-ticket and ended up being in the premium level despite not being advertised that way.

Used it a couple of times since and it’s been grand, at at least unlike a tout there’s some recourse if there’s any issue.
