Oh man, that's aces. Love Huth as Chewie, and just when it couldn't get funnier up pops Mahrez as Threepio, that killed me

I want them to get to the final too but i can't give a score prediction but its going to be a good game.

Atletico are like a brick wall Simeone has done a brilliant job with them.

They are deadly on the counter and Griezmann is clinical.

What they did last week to Bayern was denied them space and closed them down everytime they had the ball and like you said david he then hit them on the counter attack and i expect him to do the same tonight, its a shame that its not on R.T.E 2 only on T.V3 but i hope they have Souness on their panel.

[David LFC]

I heard Souness loves being on Irish TV as he can say it how it is compared to being on Sky.

As long as Brian Kerr isn't on, sat behind him coming back from a Liverpool game the language out of him Fcuk this Fcuk that haha

Yep Souness said that about irish tv just look at what Sky are doing right now with Leicester they are using them to promote what a great season it was in the Premier League and how its the best league in the world.
The truth is this was a poor season of football and Sky will use this in their words a fairytale story so they can get more viewers for SkySports next season.

[David LFC]

Yeah it was a poor season but it's a wake up call to a lot of clubs, still 4th hasn't been decided yet and the team that gets 4th might not even get Champions League footy.

We have Villarreal Thursday 1-0 from first leg have to admit i'm not overly confident.

Do you think Klopp was right to play the younger players against Swansea on Sunday.

[David LFC]

The league is gone regarding 4th Tob, so keeping the players fresh for Thursday is more important.

I'm hoping he starts Sturridge up front with Lallana Firmino Coutinho behind him but i think Klopp will start with 3 centre midfielders to try and control the game just worried they will hit us on the break.

I agree but my point is those younger players were awful against Swansea and Sturridge had a poor game so do you think he can work with the younger players in the future or will he be doing major business in the transfer market in the summer.

[David LFC]

He will make big moves in the Summer but the quality of player depends on if we have Champions League football.

We badly need a top keeper Mignolet isn't up to the standard, he's a decent shot stopper but everything else he crap to be honest.

Another LB would be nice i'm not a fan of Moreno linked with Jonas Hector from Koln i like the look of him.

When Sakho gets his ban which could be 6months or worse 1 year we need a top CB. Skrtel needs to be sold and Toure needs to be moved on. Matip coming in from Schalke will add much needed height.

Linked with Gotze who i'd love but latest rumour is Bayern offering money and Gotze for Hummels.

Benteke needs to be moved on said it before we signed him he's not a Liverpool player.

Hopefully with the pull of Klopp and please god Champions League football we get top class players coming in.

But what about the future of Sturridge the reports the last few days looks like he be sold too in the summer.

[David LFC]

Top player when fit but i dunno if he has the work rate Klopp wants from his number 9.

Cant see us selling unless we get a big offer.

What a fantastic game tonight between Bayern and A.Madrid.

[David LFC]

Brilliant game last night hope tonight is the same but Madrid will be too strong for Citeh.
