Re: UEFA Europa League 2023-24

Anyone thinking of going by ferry to Dublin should we make the final – It may be premature but we bought refundable ferry tickets from Holyhead to Dublin yesterday. Some of the ferries the day before and after the final are already fully booked – probably those loveable Scousers assuming they’ll be ...

Newcastle are issuing some ‘dud’ tickets at away games. When your entry turns red, fans must go to the away ticket office to confirm ID and collect a duplicate.
That's a bit unfair if you don't arrive early then miss the kick off.

Re: Away Tickets Thread - The European Scramble......continues

That suggests Palace will go to about 42 points based on similar allocation to Fulham which was 59% of max.

It will go down to 24 pts (if digital 28pts)
Why higher points if digital?

I’m never booking through Trainline again - no refunds despite them acting as an agent. Quite a few of us having trouble getting money back for cancelled DB trains.

Because it would have been a second yellow and sending off so the ref bottled it.

That would massively skew this.
Not if we are in the Europa final too.

Re: UEFA Europa League 2023-24

Was hoping for Rangers but not to be. Really don't want Liverpool until the final (well not then really either) but I've just booked hotels for the four possible nights we could play there in the quarter or semi final. There's a 47% chance that we draw Liverpool (or indeed any other specific team) i...

Re: European Club Competition - 2024/5

So do I read correctly that after the league stage the draw is set right up to the final based on finishing positions in the league?
That give some incentive to finish higher but takes out the excitement of a proper draw.
Like they did in the League Cup one season some years ago. And like tennis.

Best chance, and most satisfying, would be a one off game in the final.
Beating them in a final, Klopp’s last game, would be suitable revenge for 2006.

Liverpool haven't won the FA Cup yet! At the moment it will be 1-4 CL 5 EL 6 ECL FA Cup EL But if one of the top 6 win the FA Cup then 6th place will go to EL and 7th ECL - so we can assume that is likely and then if England get another CL spot (which is also likely), it all drops down one 6 EL 7 E...

Re: UEFA Europa League 2023-24

Also (currently) relies on one of Man U, Man City or Liverpool winning the FA Cup. Worst case is that someone outside the top 5 wins the FA Cup, and the PL doesn't get an extra CL spot. Then it's only 6th gets Europe. Wouldn't it be 7th now Liverpool have won the FA Cup. 1-4 CL 5 EL 6-7 ECL Plus- E...

Another case where the police failed and one wonders why senior officers blocked investigation into the man who was eventually found to be the murderer.
