Unfortunately it will still sell out instantly. Your best bet is to ask around and find someone who qualifies for a couple of tickets and isn’t going. You could buy yourself and son a membership but you’d need to be on it to pick up tickets in the all members sake. Hospitality is an option but not cheap. I’d help but afraid I’ve got a list as long as my arm of people who take my spares.

To be fair to them there’s little to get excited about in Middlesbrough. Hope I’m wrong but expect Chelsea as bad as they are to comfortably turn it round in 2 weeks. All to play for in the other semi too. Liverpool struggled for a long time but ended up being a bit frustrated it wasn’t 3/4-1 and all but in the final.

Helped by removing a round of fixtures over Christmas and a break after for Premier League clubs.

Was excellent on loan at Bolton last season but an injury in pre-season has hampered his progress. Did well in his 15 minutes or so. Good day out yesterday - fair play to Arsenal only £11 for kids.

You are just forgetting what things were like pre Jurgen Klopp. Take us back to Nabil El Zhar as first sub under Rafa. It was only 18 months ago that Liverpool were 2 games away from winning all 4 competitions. Jota, Gakpo, Gravenberch and Mac Allister not bad subs last night.

Final is Sunday 18th February. Venue and kick-off time TBC. Bo’ness Athletic v Heriot-Watt University

Thought he was excellent yesterday.

Guess what was seen as the best stadium in England 20 years ago has now been far surpassed and looks pretty scruffy. The away end is pretty horrific. Seats put on old concrete steps that are way too high. Sat in the SAF stand for the FA Cup semi in 2006 and remember it being a bit better but guess that’ll have aged now too.

I somehow don’t think Jurgen Klopp needs to get the Liverpool fans onside.

Lol I don’t think these types on twitter are the best gauge. Putting all the controversy aside going down there yesterday was worried lose to an inform Spurs side and Man City could end the day 5 points clear. Gap still just 2 and feel further convinced that Liverpool are the real deal again despite the loss as with 11 / 10 & 9 men they were impressive.

You’ve got a mate Tam ?
