Champion’s League Manchester City - Liverpool



So we’re all getting quite excited around the North-East of England.  The sky is dark and storms are looming and I’m sure the Etihad Stadium is waking up for the coming battle.

Guardiola’s run-away Premiership leaders, champions-elect, in fact, are on the wrong end of the results in the Champion’s League, however, with a 3-0 deficit to make up after the vicious mauling they received in the first leg at Anfield.  It has only happened 7 times before in the history of the competition, and that gives City something like 5% chance statistically.

Guardiola is bowed but unphased, happy to talk about making and taking opportunities, and this they will for sure.  If any team could do it this team could, and with Aguero fit they will have an even stiffer and potent forward line with which to probe and stab the Liverpool defence.

The sound here won’t be as loud as the raucous clamour of the Kop end last time around of course, but I’m sure the fans will give their all, doubts temporarily muted.  We can expect to see an extreme example of City’s attacking prowess on display tonight.


Similarly you will see not a heavily defensive structure from their opponents, but in fact, you can expect Liverpool to meet them head-on in what Klopp has clearly demonstrated to be their main weakness and the only sure way to blunt their excellent attacking capabilities.  Liverpool will try to take the game by the throat and do what they did last week.

City may be vulnerable at the back again, and an away goal will definitely end it.  With Salah fit and sure to play and the Liverpool back row now looking very solid, a tactical masterclass by Guardiola will be necessary if the blue side of Manchester is to pull off a great escape.

You can expect one of the games of the season.

BUY MAD MAX FURY ROAD ============================================== Is there really a reboot of The Walking Dead in pre-production by Fox? You may have heard recently on the global grape-vine about a reboot of The Walking Dead in the works by Fox, and allegedly with Denzel Washington and Tom Hardy already connected.  This story smells false from the very beginning because A) When and how and why would anyone reboot a 'currently running' TV show?! B) Well, we don't need B because A was so good.   THE WA...

Walking Dead Reboot Update News

Check here for the Walking Dead Reboot Update news. SEE HERE FOR THE STORY DETAILS.  Currently, this story is classed as Just A Rumour. BUY WALKING DEAD MERCHANDISE FROM EBAY 22:37 4-3-18 As it stands currently, the story that Fox was planning to remake The Walking Dead with big-name stars in the main roles and famous directors attached to each and every one-hour episode has turned out to be reliable.  A google search has revealed mostly hits to alternative news sites and a few really far out blogs only.  11:08 5-3-18 Still no confirmations on the story.  Right now the stars mentioned are scheduled to be involved with other projects, so unless it's a big secret we have to conclude the story is false.

Tom Hardy's Career So Far

Having already appeared in Band of Brothers and Black Hawk Down 2001, he came to prominence in Star Trek Nemesis 2002, which was the end of the Next Generation period of the show.   He played a clone of Picard and is young enough to be almost unrecognisable in that role.  Youthful of countenance but already showing that he could punch his weight with the big boys.  BUY TOM HARDY MOVIES He continued to work through the early 2000's with stand-out performances in Bronson 2008 (utterly compelling, must see) and Layer Cake 2004.  While not yet taking Hollywood by the vitals, he was building his portfolio of work with A-List stars and directors. It was Inception 2011 that made his breakout role.  It garnered 8 Academy Awards and is one of the top 25 highest grossing movies of all time.  This film pushed him clearly into the A-List and has made him one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood today.   L...
