[Pleb]

I'm surprised Sky cannot be bothered to pick up Southampton v Arsenal.

[Lewis]

That was fun whilst it lasted.

[Baz]

Dani Alves is having the game of his life.

[Dan]

Dani Alves has dominated these two games.

[Magic]

Farcelona must be seething.

[Waffdon]

Do you not get booked in Europe for jumping in the crowd?

[Offshore Toon]

Banging game, this. All great players should sign for Juventus when they hit 30.

[Magic]

Cuadadro really is shit isn't he.

[Foe]

Just shows how good juves defence is. This is a potent Monaco attack and they're going to go 180 minutes without a goal.

Juve to win the final on pens via a Buffon save please.

[Magic]

Jesus.

Two 3 match bans there for me.

[Foe]

If mandzukic misses the final for that football should just give up.

[summsuccess]

He still wouldnt retire on top. He could go forever.
Hes a proper legend. One of the few who are left.

[Pen]

What happened with Mandzukic?

[Magic]

Allegri is such a don.

[Magic]

I forgot about this fucking song. :D

[Offshore Toon]

This song is the best thing about football.

[ItalAussie]

One more game. We've lost four finals since winning our last...

[summsuccess]

I forgot you were a Juventus fan despite the profile picture Ital. I dont see a happy ending for you this time round either you know. Ronaldo has a CA of 200 for sure. Hes unstoppable and Madrid will be favoured by officials like always.

Which final hurt you the most?

[ItalAussie]

2003. Losing on penalties, after our best player (and my profile pic) was suspended for the final. Without him, we lacked the creativity that produced our goals, and it showed. He plays that match, and we win.

In 2015, we were massive underdogs and were well-beaten after putting in a strong performance. I was just happy to see us at the sharp end of Europe again. I didn't really understand the magnitude of it all in 1997 or 1996.

[John Arne]

Barcelona should take look at that Brazilian right back at Juve - he's got to be better than Sergi Roberto.

[Waffdon]

Loves an important goal.

Atletico fans are quality.

[Offshore Toon]

Griezmann got away with that, the bottler cunt.

[Magic]

Holy shit.

[Waffdon]

Fun whilst it lasted. Cracking save as well.

[Offshore Toon]

Atletico should go all out now so the second half should be buzzing.

[Lewis]

I went to look back at this, and it turns out that Kakha Kaladze is the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy in Georgia. And Gary Neville thinks he's the big man with his hotel. Twat.

[Raoul Duke]

Kaladze's brother got croaked by mobsters or something too. Weird shit.

[Offshore Toon]

Again?

[Pleb]

Gutted Arsenal won tonight as I was hoping Southampton would shit it up once more. I'm really hoping that Leicester do Man City to make it super close. :drool:
Not going to happen.

The top four is pretty much a lock and now it's a shitefest between United and Arselol for fifth (even though we'll probably win Europa).

[ItalAussie]

What? :D

That's an amazing career progression. Tim Cahill for Prime Minister.

[Raoul Duke]

Not going to happen.

The top four is pretty much a lock and now it's a shitefest between United and Arselol for fifth (even though we'll probably win Europa).

Is there any reason to care about 5th place? 5th or 6th is basically the same thing?

[Giggles]

8th > 5th.

[John Arne]

I went to Vietnam U20 1-4 Argentina U20 last night. Cracking crowd (20,000+), but a shit performance by Vietnam. Argentina didn't exactly look particularly special, either.

[Kikó]

Any players you thought stood out? [/Reg]

[John Arne]

I hard to judge given the gulf in class. Belmonte in the middle looks like Ever Banega's regen. The two wingers, Marcelo Torres and Brian Mansilla were very good, though Mansilla looks to be a monumental bell end. Torres looked to be the best player out there.

[summsuccess]

Anyone fancy Lyon or Celta Vigo to turn it round later? The football threads have been quiete lately

[Kikó]

I'm on my way now. Euro semi, huge game, hopefully we go at them and don't try and defend it.

[Adamski]

Good one Keeks :D

[summsuccess]

You should be OK Kiko. If Celta Vigo score first it might get interesting.
Have a good time kid

[Magic]

Nope.

[Kikó]

:harold:

[summsuccess]

Oh. Does he not actually go to games?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney is the most under-appreciated player in English football, says former Wales international Robbie Savage.

"He gets hammered and yet he is Manchester United's and England's top scorer," Savage told BBC Radio 5 live.

"He is a professional, his work ethic is very good, you can see his temperament is still the same. When he gets a decision against him, he goes berserk. That is the same old Wayne Rooney.

"The bottom line is that age and not playing regular games is catching up with him. He is not the player he was. But he is the most under-appreciated footballer we have seen in English football."

:harold:

[summsuccess]

He should join Sunderland and offer some Britishness.

[Kikó]

Robbie Savage and the whole football family are such lying wankers. Rooney is stealing a living and has been for ages. He'd be better playing on spice.

:harold:

You should hear what he is saying in this football vs rugby thing.

What a helmet.

[Lewis]

The general point probably true, but also largely down to what 'Daws' said.

[summsuccess]

You watching it then Lewis?
The bit about sir because rugby players are better educated
Chris Sutton looked ready to nut him.

''Im just asking the question'

Jesus. Those Welsh are all mentalists

[Lewis]

I meant Wayne Rooney being underappreciated.

[summsuccess]

I think he just got overplayed too much.

Owen Hargreeves was just talking about the young kid Rashford and how no club should rely on a striker so young to lead the line.

https://i.imgur.com/ZRVGryJ.jpg

:D The reaction said it all to me.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fellainimania :rave:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh and that was such a great ball by Rashford.

[Lewis]

Running Wild.

[summsuccess]

Underrated Fellaini is

[Giggles]

What's the aggregate score now?

[Magic]

Scum cunts will get destroyed by Ajax.

[Offshore Toon]

I'm watching Lyon v Ajax and it's quite open. Ajax look like they'll score a few.

[Magic]

I'm watching Lyon v Ajax and it's quite open. Ajax look like they'll score a few.

What a great pass and composed finish. Stunning.

[Ian]

Running Wild.

:cool:

[Offshore Toon]

Yeah, I imagine Lyon will lose their head now and Ajax will get to showboat a bit

[Magic]

Who the fuck is this idiot co commentator who just suggested a potential UEFA cup winner is only good enough for West fucking Brom. :D

[Magic]

LOL here we go...

[Offshore Toon]

A fine, fine penalty.

[summsuccess]

The French wont come back

I didnt realise they had lost so heavily in the first game
Theylll surrender like always

The other game needs an early Celta goal but that wont happen either
Ajax v Man U in final. Seems like forever since ajax were dominent in europe
that team with seedorf and de beurs and co

[Magic]

Less of the opinion Smiff you're talking shite.

[Magic]

The Europa this season (apart from Boreinho) :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lol at somehow out-bottling the French.

[Magic]

Down to 10 now. :face:

[Dan]

Viergever has made two incredibly stupid tackles to get himself sent off. Hopefully Ajax can hold on though.

:face:

[Magic]

:D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh and Guidetti :harold:

What a nonce.

[Lewis]

There will have been a racism there.

[Dan]

Madness has spread to the other games as well, I hear :D

[Pen]

Is it just me, or did both reds look quite soft?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Guidetti :harold:

Nice to see that he's still a shambles of a player.

[Magic]

Fucking hell.

[Pen]

Fuck me what a nervy finish that was.

edit: Not sure if that was a foul from Pogba before the disallowed Herrera goal. Both are going for the ball and he gets himself in front of the defender.

[Lewis]

The entire team should go and 'WAAAAAAAY!' right in his face.

[Shindig]

The final will either be a boring waste of our lives or a ten goal barnstormer.

[SvN]

Aspas is one of the most horrible cunts in football.

[SvN]

Which makes his tears all the more tasty.

[Reg]

United are so crap at seeing out a game for a big team. Mourinho gets them to sit back and go deeper and deeper, when they should carry on actually playing with the ball.

Anyway hopefully the final will be fun with Ajax seemingly being goal friendly.

[Kikó]

Awful that. Dreadful performance and we nearly chucked it with the negativity. Still, onto Stockholm.

[niko_cee]

This United run to the final is going to make for a cracking DVD. Has there been a decent game yet? It's impressive quite how many results they've shat out this season.

[Kikó]

I think we beat Feyonoord by three goals in a scintillating game.

[Lewis]

It's like when 'Rafa' won it for Chelsea with Fernando Torres defending corners.

[Yevrah]

Robbie Savage and the whole football family are such lying wankers. Rooney is stealing a living and has been for ages. He'd be better playing on spice.

It makes me laugh how the top England and Man Utd goalscorer is parroted continually, as if it means anything. About a year ago Bobby Charlton would have held both honours FFS.

[Kikó]

I'd rather we played Bobby Charlton tbh. Similar pace.

[Ian]

It makes me laugh how the top England and Man Utd goalscorer is parroted continually, as if it means anything. About a year ago Bobby Charlton would have held both honours FFS.

And let's be honest, if it weren't for Mourinho binning him basically as soon as the records were in place he'd probably be a shoo-in for Shilton's record too. I was in no doubt he'd get that one too.
