This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network.

It is Radio City talking near Lacking St Paul, Sr. Rick McAvoy and Adam Smith

with you on your Friday afternoon, Liverpool after the Champions League draw.

And the first thing to notice, you know, we're going to talk about the draw, the ins and

out. We're going to look ahead to the game against Watford.

I've got Tony Evans coming up talking about his forthcoming book, Two Tribes, which is excellent, by the way, and it's also lovely to have a chat with them about it.

All of that is to come but before then let's the first thing I noticed was we were all sitting

now we were all watching the draw Rick and everyone had the reason why they didn't want each of the

eight teams. Seven teams are you at Liverpool. Everyone I don't want them because of this and it's just

a reminder really you're in the last state of the Champions League.

You're in the company of seven really good teams. you're getting one of them.

That's the whole point is you're down to the last day. No one's there because they're

rubbish. Everyone's done well to get there. Kn knocked out big teams along the way,

whether it's in the group with teams like Monaco going out,

whether it's in the knockout stages.

They're there for a reason.

You're not just going to go, oh brilliant, we've got FC Timpot in the quarterfinals of the European Cup.

You're going to have a big team. So I think the disappointment would probably come from the fact that it's a team you've already

seen twice this year.

To see me see at least twice every year when you get to the quarterfinals you want.

If you're going to get a big name you'd want one of the big

European names right I think that's the way it was raised that I've got a lot I agree
