When I got off the train on Thursday morning, the station was playing Ukrainian music, we have ‘united by music’ flags and posters absolutely everywhere, the whole city has gone blue and yellow and there’s been stories on boards all over the place about Ukraine. It’s been so very much about Ukraine, it’s been pretty amazing tbh and it’s felt very special.

I agree. Liverpool is full of Ukrainian flags and it is very clearly hosted for them and, from what all the commentators have been saying, hosted better than ever before.

Absolutely not, our local council contributed 4m.
The city has been all about Ukraine for the last two weeks, you’re talking our of your ill informed arse.

Yes, IMO they should have provided the venue and handed everything else over to Ukraine. It's almost as if Ukraine didn't win.

To be honest I'm a bit annoyed. It should have far more Ukraine in it - they won so event though we are hosting this bit should be at least 50% their's.
