It will forever baffle me that Liverpool won that, the Milan team was outrageous.
If they had anyone but Dida between the sticks, they would've won it.
When's the champions league mini tournament thing?
And is it all going to be on BT?
Champions League starts on the 7th and I believe so.
And the Liverpool side, in contrast, was probably one of the worst player-for-player sides to ever line up in a final. Maybe that's harsh. It was a total mismatch though.Quote:

Probably not though. I bet he dines out on it, the twat.
Liverpool 2005 v Chelsea 2012 would be a great final. Rafa Benitez at the peak of his powers vs The Chelsea Phantom Manager at the peak of his.
They should consider divesting from fossil fuels.
That's the first time I think I've ever seen Steve McManaman's attire from that Champions League coverage. Lordy. He looked so young as well.
Brentford babbbbbyyy. West London will be ours on Tuesday and I'll be smashing Thommo's face in.
A cute little clash between west London's third and fourth biggest clubs for the glittering prize of a single top flight year with no crowds, I for one cannot wait.
Mate, you know better about the Brentford story than to utter such nonsense. They've been printing money with their talent scouting for last 5+ years, imagine what they'll do with prem football as a bonus. Stats will always prevail. New stadium from next season too which is a shame as Griffin Park is the one of the last of the greats.
Stats only prevail if the competition isn't also doing stats, which at top flight level they will be. Their little gems from the Danish Cup quarter-finals might be able to moneyball their way past Lewis Grabban and Neil Warnock's local DPD driver, but when it comes to Kia/Mendes dons on £150k a week there's no similar hidden talent that can scale up.
Brighton, god bless them, have been trying to do the same thing for several seasons and yeah, gutting Heerenveen's midfield doesn't cut it in this day and age.
Actually, Brighton staying up for the past few seasons with their peculiar collection of useless dullards is yet more evidence. I mean Newcastle are down if Mbappe doesn't happen and Brentford are better than the other two sides coming up, even if Palace and Villa sort themselves out (unlikely).
As if Jimmy is claiming QPR to be bigger than Fulham, behave.
We can beat anyone on our day but I would have definitely preferred to play Swansea, especially given their lack of defending on display last night. Of course, we still need to get through tonight without ballsing up a 2 goal lead.
Cardiff to progress @ 14/1 is filthy.
QPR are massive. Loyal fanbase, picturesque stadium in a beautiful area, they have it all.
Talk to me about Mbuemo. It seems Benrahma is the poster child but Mbuemo looks a right firecracker.Quote:

Not clear yet myself on whether any of BMW will really be a force in prem. Watkins' work rate and personality has him as my clear favourite.
Newcastle takeover is off. I think the best thing about the whole process is the knots Man City twitter fans have to tie themselves in to justify their existence, simultaneously whatabouting human rights abuses and scathing the old moneyed elite, while also having to take time out to call other fans 'small time'.
Imagine you’ve been one of those geordie nutters with MBS as their twitter profile pic learning the intracacies of Gulf politics to put bias nonce journos in their place.
Phew. That's all I can say, really. The supporters trust will be fuming but fuck 'em.
A victory for the West.
I watched the last hour of the 2008 Champions' League final, and Clive Tyldesley must have mentioned 1999 every three minutes. That United team was immense and letting Carlos Tevez go was stupid.
Load of pompous shite if that’s what’s the cause of it being called off. Two faced fucks.
He was so brilliant. That strike 3 (then four with Berbatoss) was unbelievable.Quote:

Yeah, phew. :' (Quote:

Has the Scottish prem always started this early?
It always starts a bit earlier than England as they take advantage of the fact there is no such thing as summer up there.
This pick your combined Chelsea-Arnseal XI thing the BBC have is hard. So much meh in both squads.
The defences are horrifying. Will be a 4+ goals final.
What goals there are will be scored by Chelsea.
Assuming all fit and current squad:Quote:

Defence is horrifying for centre halves. Could put 4 at the back and Tierney for Azpilicueta and Saka further forward.
The only Arsenal players I'd have in our side would be Leno, Tierney and Aubameyang.
Fancy a wager?Quote:

Having Scottish Football starting up again on FA Cup final day is kinda disgusting.
You would kinda expect Ian to make a season preview or something about it tomorrow.
So a plastic club then? :baz:
Chelsea have managed one clean sheet against Arsenal in the last seven meetings.Quote:

Europa League is their best route into the Champions League next season in all likelihood (and that seems to be the be all and end all of modern football) so I'd say yeah, even away from the fact that of course they'd want to win a trophy.
