Liverpool huffed and puffed and couldn't blow the Atalanta house down. The top three in the Premier League this season all out of Europe the same week and unable to reach a semi final they were favourites to reach.

Klopp has to all in here! Pressuring from the get go..

Helps when you have the experience of a 5-0 win against that opposition on their home patch a few seasons ago.

They have made an awful balls of the underage county stuff.

Appears to be inconvenience for the powers to be. And HQ and have a desire for U19 grade.

What was wrong with u18 and u21 anyway?

Next to nothing. Páraic Duffy pushed for nearly a decade to scrap them before eventually getting his way before stepping down as Director General.

What's a soulless club?

A team that wasn't in running to win this competition and that all changed once they became a franchise propped up by an oil money. Whatever they win is not seen as any great achievement.

A good night for competition that's cup football for you. In truth nobody other than Manchester City supporters wanted to see such a soulless club go on to retain the Champions league title. PSG another soulless so for the health on the sport it will be for the best if they don't win it now that favourties are out.

Looking like a Manchester City v PSG Oil Rich Champions league final.

in the terms of total lack of discipline Barcelona have really taken the biscuit tonight.

[I'd probably put a division one League title above a provincial title now since its a national title where you have beaten the best 8 teams in the country over a 2 month period.]

Armagh have shown glimpses of the 2022 championship form this year but I'd still be worried that they will slip back into last years negative mindset when faced with better opposition. The same thing happened in the League final again when the stakes were heightened and the fear of losing took over. 

The Ulster final, should we get there, could well be the defining game of the season because they won't be winning an All Ireland title. For a lot of those players it's probably the last chance saloon to try and win meaningful silverware.

Is it meaningful silverware?

At the start of the year there are 4 trophies you can win. Provincial pres season cup, divisional League, provincial championship and AI title. If you think it's not meaningful silverware then the 31 counties who fail to win Sam Maguire will have been failures at the end of the season. 

Success shouldn't be judged purely on silverware anyway imo since its all relative to a counties resources and current standing. No doubt the provincial championships have been devalued now but its still meaningful silverware and a prize worth lifting certainly for a county who haven't had much recent success. I'd probably put a division one League title above a provincial title now since its a national title where you have beaten the best 8 teams in the country over a 2 month period.   

Which is fair enough however in the terms of value winning Ulster will mean 1st seed and avoiding Kerry,Dublin in the group stage.

Like children on a schoolyard.

If Arsenal lose points today then it's City's to loose

How did you mange to spell lose correctly first then spell it wrong in the same sentence?

As I said earlier the melt down continues... even for the neutrals

You have issues.

Says the poster with three accounts

In your head I do I suppose, but your head is so mixed up I'm ok with you thinking that.

Dead on, head you out for a run and calm yourself

Credit to Aston Villa a solid season for them and will fully deserve 4th place should they get it. A real shrewd appointment bringing in Emery and if he was given the same time with Arsenal as Arteta has got they could well have won a league title by now.

2nd goal for Dublin 2-16 to 0-11 and Hill16 has found it's voice.

21,000 at this game. Leinster Championship is alive and kicking.

Croker will be full for Leinster vs Northampton though. Nothing to worry about lads.

Will be full for the many concerts Croke Park will be hosting this summer and wouldn't be able to host as many without the Inter county season finishing up so soon nowadays.
