[CJay]

Seems like Sturridge is done.

[Manc]

Good riddance. Showboating cunt.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Why would you boo Andros Townsend?

England fans are utter cunts. The time I went and watched them at Wembley was a proper eye-opener.

[Spikey M]

We have an 'official' brass band. Unforgivable.

[Spikey M]

Also, that lineup is utter shit. We have no depth at all.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Get him on the fucking plane.

[Sam]

Rashford. :)

[Manc]

Scenes.

[Raoul Duke]

Heroic :cool:

Tidy finish, that.

[Reg]

Rashford is the man.

What a three months.

[Jimmy Floyd]

He really is good.

[Magic]

Can Vardz play alongside Rashz?

[Magic]

Lolgland getting donned by the Crims here.

[Magic]

[Magic]

:(

Enty can you been me plz m8

[Davgooner]

Why would you boo Andros Townsend?

England fans are utter cunts. The time I went and watched them at Wembley was a proper eye-opener.

What a change from the last time I can remember us playing at the SOL. Absolute carnage that night; not a numptie in sight.

[Manc]

Bertrand's impressed. Drinkwater seems utterly redundant.

[Spoonsky]

Marcus Rashford is less than a month older than I am. :|

This is going to start happening more and more, isn't it?

[Dark Soldier]

First time that every cunt in the England squad is younger than me. I know how Yev felt 12 years ago now.

[Magic]

Marcus Rashford is less than a month older than I am. :|

This is going to start happening more and more, isn't it?

I went through this shit with Walcott. :(

[Spoonsky]

Rashford has been England's best player. You'd think he has to be on the plane.

[Spikey M]

The fuck? :D

[Spikey M]

Fuck, I knew it was soon but didn't realise the Euro's was that early in June.

[Browning]

Good start, Dier. :D

[Sam]

The fuck was Dier doing there.

[Magic]

:harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Gahahahahahaha, brilliant.

[Spoonsky]

For fuck's sake. :D

[Foe]

That was a stunning finish

[Magic]

What a bunch of horrible cunts those Blunderland fans are.

[CJay]

Ross Barkley should be first player cut from the squad. Awful player.

[Spikey M]

What does Henderson actually do? And Milner whilst we're at it? And just about any Liverpool player, to be honest?

[Spikey M]

Ross Barkley should be first player cut from the squad. Awful player.

His first touch is just awful.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Marcus Rashford is less than a month older than I am. :|

This is going to start happening more and more, isn't it?

It was Theo Walcott for me. On the plus side, I've now possibly done more with my talents than he has.

[Spikey M]

Not sure who it was for me (possibly Walcott too?) But Rooney cut it close. He was the first player of around my age to play.

[randomlegend]

Rashford :cool:

I think he's the real deal. If Mourinho dicks over his career I'll hunt him down or post angry messages on here about it.

[Magic]

It was Theo Walcott for me. On the plus side, I've now possibly done more with my talents than he has.

Are you fuck the same age as me.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'll be 28 in a couple of months. What should I be?

[Lewis]

Less bald.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Messi for me :\

I'm 6 months older.

[Pepe]

I'm as old and as much of a don as Cronaldo.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Do you do tweets like this?

https://twitter.com/Cristiano/status/735502610237640704?lang=en-gb

[Pepe]

Fuckin' hell. :D

I did wear a white suit to my elementary school graduation, so there's that.

[Lewis]

The comments he gets are bizarre.

[Manc]

Speak Arabic, Lew?

Loafers are a must tbh.

[John]

What was that twonk who came over from FMG with the Gael Clichy avatar's name? He used to post pictures of his outfits, one of which looked a lot like that Ronaldo thing. Wilco would tell him he loved the cut of his jeans, and he'd tell Wilco his highlights looked great. No wonder they didn't last.

[Shindig]

The comments he gets are bizarre.

"I would like to play with you. Here is my number."

Frig.

[SvN]

Speaking of jeans, I reckon the board peak was the post where Boom casually mentioned, mid-story, that it was during the period where he wore two pairs of jeans.

[Magic]

I'll be 28 in a couple of months. What should I be?

Well I'll be 27. I'm 3 months younger than Walcott.

[CJay]

Speaking of jeans, I reckon the board peak was the post where Boom casually mentioned, mid-story, that it was during the period where he wore two pairs of jeans.

Such a shame that these sort of moments are now seemingly lost forever.

[Kikó]

What a great story Rashford is. Great for him.

[Lewis]

That Paddy Power advert is lol.

[Waffdon]

22k hull fans? You what?

[Max Power]

Apparently it's a "protest".

In a play off final. At Wembley. Bizarre.

Come on Wednesday

[Lewis]

Hull are a nothing club in a rugby town, but that is still a bollocks crowd.

[Waffdon]

Hull are a bunch of bores but I fancy Andy Robertson too much.

[Lewis]

Plus TEG was a prick.

[Magic]

Wasn't he a blunt?

[Magic]

Also Paul Dickov is the most boring summariser ever.

[Disco]

What did TEG flounce off about in the end?

[Lewis]

He ran out of crap vegetarian jokes to make about Boyd.

[Waffdon]

Jesus, Andy, mate. Swear I jinx him every time.

[Lewis]

He's so black.

[Lewis]

Who does that Sheffield manager think he is dressed like that in a Wembley final? The absolute twat.

[Lewis]

Steve Bruce, the nicest man in football.

[Spoonsky]

"The Senegalese, with Senegal ease!"

Hull, again. How boring.

[Waffdon]

Savic? Sheeeesh

[Spammer]

Fucking gutted for Wednesday. Obviously I follow THE MIGHTY BLADES but it would have been nice for Sheffield to be a relevant footballing city again. It's been long overdue. Pretty gutted actually. Wednesday fans have been through some right shit since leaving the PL and it would have been nice to see them back there. Much bigger club than Hull. Oh well.

[Gray Fox]

I'd have taken any other team but Hull, but it was always going to be them.

[Lewis]

Sheffield Wednesday are only a Big Club to nineties nostalgia people.

[Magic]

Hull. :sick:

[Pen]

Very boring set of teams coming up. Wonder if the ever inflating price money will see the Championship top clubs being clubs that have been relegated in the recent past every season in the future.

[Reg]

Yep, wouldn't be surprised. Might even see just six clubs swapping or something stupid.

Looking forward to this. It's bonkers that Torres is one of the most likely scorers in the Champions League final, when a couple years ago it looked as if he'd fit right in at Wycombe Wanderers.

[Lewis]

I bet Alex Ferguson hasn't put his hand in his pocket since he retired.

[7om]

Fucking Alicia Keys before the match? Die in a fire, UEFA.

[Bernanke]

Jesus, this pre-game stuff is bad.

[Lewis]

Is there any need for this?

[Sam]

Hull, Boro and Burnley. Couldn't have a more boring set of nothing clubs coming up if you tried.

[Bernanke]

Isn't kick off supposed to be at 45?

[Bernanke]

Fuck, the page I stream from just went offline completely.

[Lewis]

It's this sort of shit that proves that football succeeds in spite of the people running it.

[Jeet]

It's on BT's youtube channel for FREE!

[7om]

It's this sort of shit that proves that football succeeds in spite of the people running it.

Yep, it's going to be worse than the Superbowl eventually. This is just overkill.

[Bernanke]

This speaker. :face:

[Davgooner]

Sheffield Wednesday are only a Big Club to nineties nostalgia people.

They sold out their end in less than a day. Your mob fell 11,000 short. Tinpot.

[Jeet]

Bocelli killing the CL theme

[Shindig]

Lyrics kill the Champions League theme.

[Jeet]

FFS Hargreaves - Forget about it. ...

[7om]

Torres to get a hat trick.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Torres is going to lol all over Ramos tonight.

[Lewis]

They sold out their end in less than a day. Your mob fell 11,000 short. Tinpot.

Both rugby teams were playing today, so they should really have postponed it.

[7om]

David "Dimimar Berbamov" Pleat is on commentary for Fox. Fuck this shit.

[Gray Fox]

Torres to score and 1-0. The Real seethe would be immense.

[bruhnaldo]

David "Dimimar Berbamov" Pleat is on commentary for Fox. Fuck this shit.

This guy is cringe.

[Waffdon]

Both atletico centre halves playing on their opposite side.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Wankers.

[Lewis]

To say he's a liability half the time, he doesn't half love a big game.

[Browning]

The quality of this on TV is shockingly bad. I don't usually have BT Sport so guess I can't complain too much, but still.

[Bernanke]

http://i.imgur.com/pbawsoP.gif

Bit early for that love.

[Lewis]

I wonder if Zinedine Zidane could win the double with Bayern.

[Shindig]

I dunno. One more goal and then Simeone's lot will probably resort to murder.

[Sam]

Both rugby teams were playing today, so they should really have postponed it.

That alone is reason enough to bar the likes of Hull and Wigan from the top flight.

[Waffdon]

Simeone and his love in for torres needs to gtfo

[CJay]

Atletico have been terrible so far. Such a flat performance.

[Lewis]

That alone is reason enough to bar the likes of Hull and Wigan from the top flight.

I bet Leeds are in the same boat these days, since they no doubt derive a lot of their football support from the crap rugby towns around them.

[7om]

Torres still looks as useless as he was a few years back. Feels like Real haven't even got out of second gear.

[Baz]

The quality of this on TV is shockingly bad. I don't usually have BT Sport so guess I can't complain too much, but still.I was thinking this. Worse than ITV before they went HD. Was contemplating switching to a HD stream from Canada or somewhere, but it's more likely I'll turn it off and catch up on 12 Monkeys instead.

[Spikey M]

It really is shit quality. Is it not because they're an internet based tv service or some shit? I know we couldn't get BT TV because we didn't have the right cables in our area.

[Bernanke]

Ha!

[Browning]

Fuck sake. :D

[Waffdon]

I've got 50 on Griezmann anytime ffs

[Spikey M]

What a cretin

[Lewis]

Has his head gone? That ought to halve his prospective transfer fee.

[Bernanke]

Carvajal out of the Euros then? Looked like an achilles gone.

[Gray Fox]

Atletico need to score while they're on top. I don't see it lasting long.

[Davgooner]

BT Sport have fucking ruined the Champions League.

[Spikey M]

Real Madrid should bring Ronaldo on tbh.

[Bernanke]

Saul looks so fucking good.

[Spikey M]

2-0 is coming.

[Waffdon]

Saul looks so fucking good.

Has played centre half this year as well. Amazing player

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pepe really should be banned for life.

[Shindig]

"He goes over like Mike Tyson... 's give him one."

Owen, injure your mouth.

[Browning]

Clattenberg calling Pepe out on being a cunt was pretty good.

[Spikey M]

Fuck me. Some of this diving.

You'd think Clattenburg would be above this shit.

[Spikey M]

Clattenberg calling Pepe out on being a cunt was pretty good.

Still gave the freekick for a blatant dive though.

[Mike]

OOooh, should be a good last ten minutes.

[Lewis]

I was just about to post that Madrid have donned this.

[Gray Fox]

Now it gets interesting.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Great ball in, Mon Atletico.

[Spikey M]

Lovely goal!

[Sam]

Now this should be fun.

[Ian]

Madrid have set themself up for this particular wobble what with them having enough chances to have put Atletico down ages ago.

[Waffdon]

Hoping that wasn't his wife

[Shindig]

Real are so watchable going forward.

[Spikey M]

That has to be red

[Gray Fox]

Yellow was right there. Should have released the pass as they were in.

[CJay]

That type of cynical foul has to be removed from the game. Straight red if it's done to prevent a counter attack. Don't care where on the pitch.

[Kikó]

Why are people streaming it when it's on the showcase channel?

[Waffdon]

Clattenburg is clueless at the advantage rule

[Bernanke]

Danilo looks awful.

[Lewis]

That type of cynical foul has to be removed from the game. Straight red if it's done to prevent a counter attack. Don't care where on the pitch.

You girl.

[Danny]

And leave the ref to interpret the potential of a counter attack? No thanks

[Disco]

Why are people streaming it when it's on the showcase channel?

I don't have a television.

[Shindig]

My PC also uses the TV.

[Reg]

That type of cynical foul has to be removed from the game. Straight red if it's done to prevent a counter attack. Don't care where on the pitch.
Sin bin. Off for 15/20 minutes plus the yellow.

I agree it's a big problem though.

[CJay]

Sin bin. Off for 15/20 minutes plus the yellow.

I agree it's a big problem though.

Yeah that's probably a better idea. A plain yellow card is no deterrent whatsoever, as we see on a regular basis.

[Kikó]

It barely happens. Don't be so dramatic. It's a genuine football tactic, don't be stupid.

[Spikey M]

Sin bin? Do fuck off.

[Gray Fox]

It's nothing more than smart defending. A yellow is enough.

I feel a late, late goal coming.

[Lewis]

A dodgy Ronaldo penalty, complete with over-the-top celebration, would be nice.

[Danny]

What would he have to do for a champions league final winner celebration to be over the top?

I would be going mad even if I scored it off one of my bollocks.

[Waffdon]

Fuck off, Torres.

[Gray Fox]

"Thomas" looks exactly like the type of player who'll miss a decisive penalty.

[Lewis]

Or mug a pensioner.

[Shindig]

Get up, you midget head!

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

You can tell Clattenburg wants to lamp that cunt Pepe.

[Lewis]

Mark Clattenburg has been great tonight. There would have been about fifteen yellows and a scrap with a Spaniard in charge.

[Bernanke]

Pepe really is a 10/10 cunt.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just send the bastard off.

[Spikey M]

Clattenburg :D

[Danny]

Mark Clattenburg has been great tonight. There would have been about fifteen yellows and a scrap with a Spaniard in charge.

:nod:

That head shake was enjoyable

[Waffdon]

Real Madrid have this

[Gray Fox]

I think Torres. Griezmann and Thomas all miss. With Madrids attackers I don't really expect a miss from them.

[Lewis]

Let's just prepare ourselves for Saint turning up if Keylor Navas makes a save.

[Kikó]

Clattz has quite a long tongue.

Ronaldo to miss a penalty and world to implode.

[randomlegend]

My mong brother has just come out with "Diego Simeone is the most monkey-looking non-black person I've ever seen" :D

Absolutely no understanding of what's wrong with it either. It's a wonder he's still alive.

[Shindig]

I wouldn't back any of them to score. They're all frigged.

[CJay]

How does that Pepe get away with that? :face:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

My mong brother has just come out with "Diego Simeone is the most monkey-looking non-black person I've ever seen" :D

Absolutely no understanding of what's wrong with it either. It's a wonder he's still alive.

It's clearly Bale.

[Lewis]

Is Navas wearing trackies? Aren't they the international sign of a dodgy 'keeper?

EDIT: It's leggings. Twat.

[randomlegend]

Yeah I did make the point that even putting the incredible racism aside, he wasn't even the most monkey-looking man there.

[Lewis]

These bums slotting them away like nothing means Ronaldo will fuck it up.

[Bernanke]

Oblak, try diving to the left.

[Shindig]

:D

It had to be.

[randomlegend]

5-4 ronaldo

[Waffdon]

Oblak is a beast but he's really awful at penalty shoot outs

[Kikó]

Oblack was poor. Didn't really give himself a chance.

Has Ronaldo won more champions leagues now? Edit: guess not only 3.

[7om]

Ronaldo :drool:

Plays like shit and delivers the final blow like a champ. Legend.

[Lewis]

What would he have to do for a champions league final winner celebration to be over the top?

I would be going mad even if I scored it off one of my bollocks.

That might do it. :cool:

[CJay]

Oblak is a beast but he's really awful at penalty shoot outs

Yeah he could have faced 100 penalties and not saved one. Terrible for every attempt.

[Ian]

Did Hargreaves really just say "Great run up, terrific concept" talking about Ronaldo's penalty?

BT's coverage is a fucking hate crime.

[Danny]

Not that bad. Not a 4th in a 4-1 win anyway!

Although he clearly saves himself in shoot outs like a twat. No way should the 'best' taker be 5th

[Browning]

Oblak, try diving to the left.

Yep, every single one went to the left and most of them weren't that great. No idea why he didn't move on most of them.

[Kikó]

Is Zidane now up there with the modern greats like Di Matteo?

[Shindig]

Nah, Zidane looks great in a suit.

[Gray Fox]

Seeing Torres crying. Mixed emotions.

[Shindig]

He had little service tonight, sadly. Apparently he's scored 12 this season.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ferdinand trotting out the 'lottery' bullshit. Fuck off.

[Waffdon]

Yeah he could have faced 100 penalties and not saved one. Terrible for every attempt.

Dreadful against psv in the shootout and done fuck all in the Europa league final for benfuca

[Lewis]

I thought Casemiro was very good tonight, so which non-defending timewaster will they replace him with this summer?

[Reg]

Love that Bale scored a penalty with cramp and hobbled away afterwards.

[GS]

Fucking Real fucking Madrid. Fuck them.

[Spikey M]

The only team more hate worthy than Real Madrid is Chelsea.

For very different reasons, but still.

[Magic]

Shite result. Was an hour behind as had to drop the hag off.

Carrasco's celebration was tremendous and like Waff says I hope it wasn't his wife. What a don. :cool:

[Gray Fox]

Where's Rafas medal damn it?

[Lewis]

Steve McManaman needs to stop calling him 'Zizou' because he spoke to him once.

[Magic]

"He goes over like Mike Tyson... 's give him one."

Owen, injure your mouth.

I noticed that too. Idiot. :D

[Waffdon]

Steve McManaman needs to stop calling him 'Zizou' because he spoke to him once.

Did he not win the champions league with him?

[Lewis]

He used to run the Galacticos' errands.

[Magic]

Fan favourite.

[Spoonsky]

That was the worst.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Simeone is such a boring twat. Glad he lost.

[Manc]

Ronaldo. :drool:

[ItalAussie]

Busy few days, but I finally got around to watching the Australia game.

Tom Rogic is a bit special. Hope he ends up somewhere that he can flourish. Any of the Scottish contingent seeing him on a weekly basis?

[Spoonsky]

I understand why people respect Ronaldo, but I really can't see why anyone likes him.

[Shindig]

Busy few days, but I finally got around to watching the Australia game.

Tom Rogic is a bit special. Hope he ends up somewhere that he can flourish. Any of the Scottish contingent seeing him on a weekly basis?

No, because he's barely played this season.

[Baz]

As much as he's clearly a dick, Ronaldo is awesome. Saving himself for the potential (and eventual) winning penalty and then have the team swarm him like he'd single-handedly led them to glory. :D

[Waffdon]

Busy few days, but I finally got around to watching the Australia game.

Tom Rogic is a bit special. Hope he ends up somewhere that he can flourish. Any of the Scottish contingent seeing him on a weekly basis?

Best celtic midfielder by a mile and he's starting to gain a bit of press by the freelance journos and what not

[randomlegend]

I understand why people respect Ronaldo, but I really can't see why anyone likes him.

I dunno, I find his absolute desperation and determination to win kind of endearing.

[Waffdon]

Yep. ^

[Lewis]

He scored sixteen goals to get them to the final (top scored for the fourth year in a row), so he probably does deserve all the glory.

[Shindig]

I find the whole Messi vs Ronaldo stuff fascinating from just pure numbers. We might get a full decade of this. It'll make Pele and Romario's tallies look weak.

[Waffdon]

He scored sixteen goals to get them to the final (top scored for the fourth year in a row), so he probably does deserve all the glory.

Didn't score against any of the three decent teams he faced if we are honest.

That must have been one of the easiest routes to a final ever from Real Madrid.

[CJay]

Didn't score against any of the three decent teams he faced if we are honest.

That must have been one of the easiest routes to a final ever from Real Madrid.

I was thinking that last night actually. Roma, Wolfsburg, Man City in the knockout stages. They didn't look great in any of those ties, either. Worst winners since...?

[GS]

Atletico 'deserved' to win it, but didn't. Such is life.

[Lewis]

Isn't every route an 'easy' one when you're one of two all-conquering mega teams?

[GS]

Isn't every route an 'easy' one when you're one of two all-conquering mega teams?

Atletico took out Barcelona and Bayern in consecutive knock-out ties. They were, probably, the two favourites. Real had a shite German team and a Man City who absolutely shit the bed. It was 'easy', relatively speaking of course.

[Lewis]

And then Madrid beat the team who beat Barcelona and Bayern.

[GS]

Such is life.

[Reg]

And then Madrid beat the team who beat Barcelona and Bayern.
That doesn't mean Real would have beaten of those themselves. Football doesn't work like that, thankfully.

[Shindig]

I don't devalue Newcastle's 1998/9 FA Cup runs because we had a semi-final with Bradford and bullshitted our way past Stevenage.

[Magic]

All down to Griezmann imo.

[John]

http://i.imgur.com/imDfWKh.jpg

All of Torres' completed passes last night. :harold:

[GS]

Torres is shit, unfortunately. If they could go out and buy another world class attacker, they could build on their clearly excellent defensive base. As it is, you're basically reliant on Griezmann (over the course of most of the season, anyway) to do something.

[CJay]

Of course they can go out and buy a new striker. The problem was they wasted all their money on Jackson Martinez last year.

[John]

They've just spaffed thirty million on Nicolas Gaitan.

[GS]

Of course they can go out and buy a new striker. The problem was they wasted all their money on Jackson Martinez last year.

I agree. Presumably they'll have the money to go and spend this year having inexplicably been able to sell him for more to China.

[Lewis]

That doesn't mean Real would have beaten of those themselves. Football doesn't work like that, thankfully.

The point is that we now have two/three teams who will always have an 'easy' route to the final until they play each other (which means everybody else had a difficult route), and Madrid, whilst fortunate enough to avoid them this year, still had to beat some sides that would normally be considered decent enough.

[Jimmy Floyd]

They were 2-0 (was it?) down to Wolfsburg from the first leg, so hardly an easy tie. City had overcome PSG and you wouldn't have called that easy had it been the frog squad.

[Magic]

They may have been playing with 10 men to be honest. Do they not have another striker? Also that black guy that came on at the end looked lethargic.

[Max Power]

League One play off final is a cracker. Barnsley two up early but Millwall have got one back. End to end.

[Lewis]

Barnsley is a shocker of a place.

[randomlegend]

Germany are trolling or?

[Pepe]

Real Madrid really should have chosen a harder route to the final. As it stands, I just can't give them credit.

[GS]

No-one suggested that.

[Pepe]

I did. Poor call on their part.

[GS]

It's almost hard to believe you haven't monopolised the best poster awards in recent years.

[Reg]

They beat Atletico, maybe the best team of the knockout rounds overall. So fair play to them.

(And fair play anyone for winning anything any possible way.)

[Vim]

The final was basically 50/50. Casemiro man of the match for me, he won so many balls in that midfield.

[Ian]

Right, to pass the time between now and the Euros let's list every Champions League winner and the route they took and decide which ones count and which ones don't.

Starting with the 55-56 Real Madrid team who were against the winner of a Reims/Hibs final, so that one can get struck off straight away.

[Ian]

The following year they beat United in the semi so I'm letting that one count.

[Pepe]

Starting with the 55-56 Real Madrid team who were against the winner of a Reims/Hibs final, so that one can get struck off straight away.

Hey, hey. Reims had the quite excellent Michel Leblond donning things in midfield and deadly striker Jean Templin in their ranks. I don't like the lack of thoroughness in your approach. I think each squad will need to be individually analyzed to determine how strong they were in the given year, apart from their overall historical prestige of course.

[Reg]

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/may/29/atletico-madrid-diego-simeone-considers-future-champions-league

Another of the best coaches to come to England? What clubs are left... He'd do well at West Brom.

[Ian]

Does that mean we also need to go back and do the same for each team involved in their relative domestic competitions so we can judge the top, top teams and the chancers properly?

Fuck, we've started this project a bit late haven't we?

Where's Bosanac? He'd sort this out with his expert knowledge of all players and teams past and present.

[Boydy]

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/may/29/atletico-madrid-diego-simeone-considers-future-champions-league

Another of the best coaches to come to England? What clubs are left... He'd do well at West Brom.

Arsenal should go for him.

[GS]

He'd be horrendous for Arsenal.

[Gray Fox]

He's the most anti-Arsenal manager I can imagine that isn't called José.

[Pepe]

Fuck, completely forgot about Bosanac. What a tool he was. :D

[Ian]

Solid haxballer, mind.
