Fulham vs Aston Villa late afternoon and then Liverpool Vs Real Madrid after that.
Fulham & Liverpool for me.
Leave off the big game of the weekend why not.
Definitely not even turning on the telly for either. Will be at a match in Newry during the champions league final anyway.
Same.Quote:

2-0 to Madrid would be the perfect result.
1-0 Exeter.Quote:

At least I like Zidane. In fact if Real didn't have Ronaldo in the team, I wouldn't mind them so much.
Can we also have Ramos sent off too? I might be up for it in this instance.Quote:

Yeah, the shittest 2-0 ever (Ronaldo, and something from a set piece) without Liverpool even threatening.Quote:

A 96th minute dodgy penalty that Ronaldo misses but scores the rebound. A knee slide in front of the Liverpool fans while shushing them and cupping the ear.
Both in the first 20, then 70 minutes of utter dross.Quote:

I’m very excited and hopeful about the CL tomorrow :)
Mitrovic will make a woman of John Terry.
I've travelled up to Liverpool for it. Make it happen boys!
It’s in Kiev mate.
Anyone got a working stream for BT Sports 2? Fancy having it on all day.
They’ve got the match live streaming on YouTube/showcase. I don’t know if they’re making the build up free as well?
What do I do now....shit...I didn't realise.
Tradition dictates you should be robbing the players houses while they’re playing.

I'm already vomiting just from a few radio clips of scousers this morning. It's vital, VITAL that they lose tonight.
Hala Madrid.
I'd take a Liverpool win on the proviso that it'll be in ridiculous circumstances. And Ronaldo might cry.
There’s only one Ronaldo. There’s fucking millions of Scousers and Plastic Scousers waiting to be unbearable.
I hope big Andy Robertson has a good game for Waff's sake.
So does my father in law. :/

The day of the final and I don't feel nervous in the slightest. That's me telling me that I don't think we're in with a chance, but we've got nothing to lose.
It's the hope that gets you.
You coming down Baz/Mike?
Sorry Tim. Watching at home, the beer is stocked. I've watched every match here, don't want to jinx us ;)
I cannot. You can have a drink with my wifes mates if you want.Quote:

*I don't like jelly.
Oh wow Fulham down to 10.
The commentator said something about [The] Villa cutting back if they fail here. Is that because they have been laying out Premiership wages for a quick[er] return? I ask because I have fond memories of Zimidy SEETHING about Alan Hutton every week during their shambles era, and there he is today, so he must be scamming far more than his actual worth out of them.

Fuck the Villa.
John Terry :harold:
Many would agree it's the best way to go up...
Simmer down mate, I'd rather win the league to get promoted.
[The] Villa looked hopeless without Gabby Agbonlahor, and Fulham will finish last next year.
This game was fucking shit.
Wolves ay weQuote:

That trophy is a bit too good for this. It should be a shitty little plate, or one of those engraved glass awards that local businesses win.
Really enjoyed the Playoff final there - very little end product but was a good ‘battle’ and some of the tackles were solid.
Be interesting to see if Fulham buy Mitrovic from us now, and what happens to Villa? Johnstone, Snodgrass and Grabban only on loan, Terry might retire and a few of their players are getting on a bit (Hutton, Jedinak etc)
They'll buy a whole new squad with their parachute payments.
Pizza came bang on 19:30. :cool:
Just had beef stroggy. Getting ready for the GU cheesecakes.
I got an Asda pizza, but where as the usual narks stick to the two scoops of everything quota like their jobs depend on it (which they probably do), the woman who made this one for me was just piling stuff on like it was her last day. :drool:
I have £5 on Madrid to win in 90/Ronaldo to score/A red card shown and £5 on over 4.5 goals.
Lol at the corporates trying to do YNWA.
How has that Liverpool line-up made the Champions League final? I reckon they're gonna be bummed.
Mo Salah.Quote:

The strike was literally right at Navas.
If 'Trent' had scored that it would have been a shocker.

If it was anyone else you would say accident, but there was enough awkward holding to think Sergio Ramos meant that.
Gutted for Mohamed. Damn. Hope hems good for the WC.
He definitely did.Quote:

Ramos meant to pull him down, but there's no way in a million years he knew he was going to cause him an injury.
Bit of a bore this.
He didn’t intend that you tarts. He pulled him down on purpose, but he hardly had him in an armbar. He just rolled awkwardly.

Why doesn't Klopp just stick Gini where Salah was and slot Lallana in the middle? Wijnaldum can be the brainless option out instead of lumping it forward to nobody.
He fucking did. It was pretty much an armbar. Surprised he didn't lock in the crippler crossface when he got him down.Quote:

Him appealing for a foul topped it off.

Holy shit...
Oh.
Fuck off.
Football expert me haha
Islamic revival.
Ronnie, mate.
Holy fuck, what a goal that is.
:drool:
This has picked up a bit, huh? Are we going to get the same amount of wanking over that one as we did over Ronaldo's?
I was thinking he was a mongo for attempting that when he shaped up for it.
That's going to piss Ronaldo right off.
Mate.
Holy fucking shit
From the ridiculous to the sublime, holy shit. That's one of the best goals I've ever seen.
I'm off for a wank.
Even better.Quote:

Gotta love Steve McManaman, a winger, giving lectures on what's an easy save for a GK.

Ramos has donned Mane senseless getting him booked there.
EDIT: My stream's a bit behind it seems. Lol. Poor lad.
Just fucking sub him.

Who the fuck is that clown?
I haven't seen the first one, but is this up there with the worst goalkeeping performance of all time?
This is the sort of performance that ruins careers.

Karius should probably be investigated for match fixing.
That pass by Modric. :drool:
I need a goal (Ronaldo would be ideal) and a red card for my bets to come in.
Feel for Karius. It's not his fault he's shit.

Karius will probably need therapy after this. What a shitshow.

I'd bankrupt Newcastle just to bring Bale there. As for Karius, it's the first one that gets me. The shit punch can just kinda happen but Benzema's was just dumb.
What's the 'keeper bealing to the fans for? They've done worse in finals.
He could start as a keeper.Quote:

They were dogshit.
Bale's first is the best goal I've seen in yonks. Incredible. Marcelo with the weaker foot cross too, love that guy.
Even without the Karius howlers, Liverpool a bit disappointing second half? I don't know if it was Salah blues but I thought they'd have the energy to really go for it once 2-1 down.
Next year laQuote:

I hate Liverpool. but Ramos a nasty player. Really dirty, and probably the cause of Salah's injury through foul play.
EDIT: Going through the match thread suggests that this is basically accepted knowledge. What a bastard Ramos is. :D
Egypt and Spain could meet in the first knockout round of the World Cup. I hope they do, Salah's fit and scores 3 to knock Spain out.
Ramos is one of the last proper defenders about. Snide, aggressive and can actually defend.
Yeah he's a cunt but I'd love him at United. Best CB in the world.
You mean to play alongside the best centre back in the world, surely?Quote:

Karius did a lot wrong in the match but I don't think he (or anyone else) could have done better with Bale's mega goal.Quote:

We were debating the Zidane/Bale thing where I was watching it, as soon as he scored it. I was the only person in the room who thought Zidane's was better, but it was.
The technique on Zidane's is completely out of this world, but Bale for the spectacle takes it for me.
Whether he would have gotten to it or not, Karius didn't even try for Bale's goal. He never fully extends his arms.
Overhead kicks obviously require a certain technique, but you are basically directing it towards goal. You can't pick your spot with them. Zidane picked the top corner out with his ten minutes before it hit his foot, which is why it will always be better than any bicycle/scissor goal.
Anyway lads, sign the petition:
It seems to mainly be seething Egyptians rather than Scousers, and aren't they the biggest bunch of spirit-defying cunts in the whole footballing world?Quote:
Sergio Ramos intentionally kept Mohamed Salah's arm under his armpit, causing dislocation of his shoulder. Not only missing the rest of the game, but also missing the FIFA World Cup 2018... Sergio Ramos represents an awful example to future generations of football players. Instead of winning matches fairly, he uses tricks that defy the spirit of the game and fair play.
Fuck that nonsense. Yeah, Ramos is a prick but let's not deflect from the fact that Karius has made a hash of two non-events. No one would give a shit about Salah's injury if we won.Quote:
Originally Posted by Lewis

Hot take: Would Zidane be a successful manager at another club? Will we ever find out?
Also, it's astonishing that he's pretty close to being even more successful as a manager than he was as a player. France next, I assume.
Why would we never find out? He'll get sacked by Real at some point one would assume.
Do you reckon he'd feel the need to stay in management after that though? He'd have plenty of other options available to him.Quote:

They just have good defenders, the best midfield in the world, several quality attackers, and Ronaldo wasting big teams on his own. Arsene Wenger could win the Champions' League with that lot. He's more Luis Enrique than 'Pep'.
And I have to imagine he has no particular desire to prove himself with, say, Levante or something once he's done. So it's probably the end of his managerial story once he finishes in Madrid, unless he wants a national job.Quote:

I’ve never dislocated my shoulder, but I’ve dislocated my knee more times than I care to remember. Even in the event I’m lucky enough that it goes back in on its own, it’s atleast a couple of weeks before I can comfortably walk on it, never mind run around. It’s swollen, agony to move and stiff as fuck (OI OI) for the first 5 days or so. It’s bloody difficult to dislocate something without damaging ligaments or tendons in the process as well.Quote:

Real's experience and slyness out did us. Not to mention a worldie and a meltdown.
It was very sly of them to be a much better team.
Sergio Ramos the greatest ever captain.
Twitter and Facebook are outstanding reading. People calling Ramos scum and then saying someonenshould have broken his legs in the same breath. Never change, you entertaining crackpot bastards.
How many times was Ramos ‘fouled’ last night? Not sure how officials still fall for his thing. He is such a twat.
Anyway, disappointing. Firmino didn’t really turn up and we didn’t make the most of our good start. Would have liked to see Can on earlier for a bit of drive in midfield as Wijnaldum wasn’t really adding anything. Lallana is clearly a spent force, but hopefully a summer off will help him. Alexander-Arnold and Robertson were both superb.
I find it hard to put into words how ordinary Real Madrid are. This obviously sounds stupid after winning last night for the 4th time in 5 years, but others here have said similar. Liverpool defended pretty much perfectly last night, undone by a one-in-a-million strike and two pathetic errors. Only once we had to really chase the game towards the end did they begin to look dangerous.
Lol at the pitch invader at the end preventing Ronaldo from scoring and getting his shirt off. Small victories.
Amusing to see Liverpool fans as graceless and frothing at the gums with conspiracy theories as usual. The Ramos challenge on Salah was an accident.
My theory is that Klopp's style of management leads to teams not being able to mentally cope when they truly hit a big pressure moment, hence why his teams have bottled it so much in finals. They get so overwrought with The Occasion and Passion that when they come up against a team full of cynical pros they get turned over.
Real won because they handled the pressure and had a (much) better squad.
Obviously Ramos didn’t mean to dislocate Salah’s shoulder, but he definitely knew what he was doing. Ramos has shown time and time again that he has no problem potentially hurting somebody - remember him kicking Messi at the end of the 5-0?Quote:

That same debate was had where I was and I was also the lone voice of sense. Bale's goal was terrific, but that Zidane strike was just ridiculous. You can imagine some physical beast of limited ability fluking something like Bale's, but Zidane's was pure technique of a level very few players could even imagine producing.Quote:

Zidane is exactly the sort of manager Real Madrid need: a massive name that has the gravitas to keep the players in check, but also big enough (unlike, say, Mourinho) to rise above the basket case politics. They should keep him forever.
When I was in Spain in January he seemed to be right on the point of being fired, but the PSG win turned it all around.
He could just headbutt the boardroom into submission. There's a key difference to last night's sides: Salah went off and they had no real talisman to fall back on. Meanwhile, Madrid had Bale on the bench and Ronaldo was seething all night when nobody passed to him. It's a team that's been largely the same for three years, too. Liverpool are always looking to replace someone big (Suarez, Coutinho, Sterling, etc.) and they all seem a little disjointed. Although I think Lovren and Van Dijk look like a unit, the rest of the squad lacks cohesion.
It's a shame. What Liverpool were doing in the first half was a proper team job. Pressing together and really upsetting Real. Salah wasn't running the show.
Niko should have blogged his 'Binman in a Blazer' theory and founded a business school off it.
I'm going to see if the council have any jobs going. I want to be PSG coach within two years. Or at least Toon boss.
You've watched too much Die Hard.Quote:

I should have known. Players miss games because of dead legs, thinking about it. Moat of them are made of glass.
I've never seen a moat made of glass.
Most
Well last night was disappointing. It was going alright until Salah went off. They looked out of ideas after that really.
A few chickens came home to roost. Klopps trust in Karius backfired big time, but I am absolutely certain he'll still start him come August. He doesn't seem the type to hang his guys out to dry. That and Mignolet must have killed his dog or something.
Having the same player 3 times over in midfield only gets you so far as well. The selling to buy policy also came up. Madrid could bring one of the best players in the world on off the bench, whilst we got a couple of half fit guys who have barely played in 2018. And it was them or Dom Solanke.
That and it was one of those games where it all went wrong.
We could use a summer of big spending, but no selling. I can't wait for the Salah sale stories to start.
Salah’s going nowhere til he lifts the PL trophy in a red shirt. :joy:
That would be some statement if Cardiff could pull that off.
Lol. A dislocated shoulder is a serious injury. He's not just poncing about.Quote:

Last night really was glorious. I was pissed as a fart and couldn't stop laughing every time I watched the 1st and 3rd goals back.
Last night I felt Bale's was better but it had just happened. On reflection I give the edge to Zidane. The concentration waiting for it to drop, the placement and how he hit it was just perfect.
You can say the same about the goal from Bale. Zidane had to think long and hard about what he wanted to do. Bale had to think fast and quick which is why I give him the edge.Quote:

How is Zidane having time to weigh it up a mark against it? Especially when the ball was coming straight out of the sky, meaning all of the power and placement was from him.
Not sure how it's a seethe? For what it's worth I think Madrid win,even without two goals being thrown in the back of the net they were clearly the better team. We played ok for half hour with Salah but they always looked comfortable to me.Quote:

He won the ball clearly in the tackle. He just decided to put salah in a sneaky crippler crossface on the way down
Tbf Salah is just as much up for hooking arms as Ramos but nope Ramos is basically Anderson Silva or some other mental shit.

Lol
Karius is broken.
About five minutes in last night, Lovren went straight through the back of Ronaldo. It's a defender roughing up a forward.
Anyway, I'm sure it's just a Liverpool conspiracy.
Ramos is the first player ever to foul or injure someone by the looks of things today.
Injuries happen init and it was 0-0 at that point so give a toss.Quote:

I hope for romantic purposes that Karius turns it around and we get there again but meh.
Next year is your year.
I've barely noticed karius all season. I thought he would be the cup keeper but he has featured in half the premier games looking at his stats. For some reason, I thought he was Estonian :cab:
It was an overhead kick. You thwack it at the goal and pray.Quote:

Not a fucking clue what league Doyle even plays in.
Looked him up there to see if he was actually Irish or if he was English and 2nd or 3rd gen and this was not what I was expecting.

Given his clearly valid reason for doing it (other of course than being allowed to tattoo whatever the fuck he want's on himself after all), it seems like that prissy lady is clamping pretty deep into the mud here.
Is she a mud shark?

'We demand he has the tattoo lasered off or covered up with a different tattoo' is the best demand ever. Yeah, love. We'll get right on it.
He should cover it up with a bigger Gun.
He should put a large machete on the other leg to antagonise the anti-knife cunts as well.

This is a wank story, but pulling up all the other stories about him to create a 'victimisation' story is equally wank. He lives a pretty colourful life by the standards of the rest of the England squad, who he also earns more than and is mostly better than, so he is obviously going to be a paper-seller. The other week they were trying to read racism into how they referred to Harry 'Harry Kane' Kane having a nice fiancee in comparison to Raheem Sterling having a 'long-suffering' girlfriend, as if Kane also has a history of filling women in and having club fixers pay prostitutes off.
It's a bit lol for them to have a go at him for both buying a cheap plane ticket and hiring his own plane.
Piers Morgan is raging about it. I guess he's just pro-cannon based warfare rather than guns.

Doubt they’d struggle to find another billionaire owner.
Depends. In an ideal world he flogs it to someone useless, calls in his loans and they Portsmouth the fuck out of the scenario.
Hell of a week.
We're fairly fucked with him. A rampage down League One would be terrific, though.
GS always said this would happen. He is probably stood up at home like Hugh Jackman taking his applause under the stage.

Ken Bates was lolling off 'controversy' (as it was known then) before the OUTRAGE crowd were even born, so they might have met their match this time.
Burke missing a club game to play against the USA is an odd one, especially when Rovers are badly in need of wins.
lol as if Ramos might actually have knocked him senseless.
Aye.
Ghost Ramos must have done the same thing to him in the first leg against Roma when he did the same thing (re the second spaffing).
Did this collision occur before or after Karius rolled the ball out in exactly the same way (as the comedy disaster) just before Isco hit the bar?
I've not read through this thread (obvious reasons), what was the opinion on the chicken wing? The Australians were all over it but I just can't see it myself, even adjusting for how mush of a sneaky git Ramos can be.
lol at Chris Sutton telling him to pipe down and keep it to himself.
If he was concussed, it's his own fault for playing on.
Someone made a good point during the week about Salah taking some of the blame for being a complete 'me me me' twat and going off the field bawling like a child, instead of trying to rouse the rest of the team a bit. Most players are complete fucking pussies these days.
In fairness, it would for sure have been a very mild concussion. Or he should have blacked out from the initial hit. And, being in a CL final for the first time and being pumped up on adrenaline, I'm sure you tend to ignore the shoulder-angel telling you you prolly shouldn't play on, mate. Maybe he made it "worse" by playing on, mind you.
Of course it all stinks a bit of him whacking his own head into the wall when he got home and heading off to the doctor the morning after.
As for Ramos, I don't think he did any of all this "intentionally" as such, I think he's just a fucking sharp-elbowed and cynical defender who plays a bit rough. There's no way - even him - would think during the split second where him and Salah locks arms that "ah brilliant, this happens to be a perfect occasion to perform the forbidden Judo moves to dislocate shoulders!". As for the head-whacking of Karius, it was hard to see I think but it doesn't look all too intentional either, more like he's roughing about and accidentally hits Karius (who is behind him IIRC).
Yeah. I mean, I can sort of understand him of course - given Egypts, what, first ever world cup is coming up thanks more or less to him. But still, you look at that time Ronaldo got injured and came off in the Euros and just went fuck it and became a fucking spastic on the bench, spurring the team on. I think there was some footage from that tournament that came out as well where he's basically motivating the whole team and telling people in the dressing room relax you can do it etc, sort of fucking with my otherwise very set perception that he's the massivest of cunts.Quote:

Quite possible. But at least he did something after that to help the team instead of sulking somewhere.Quote:

Real Madrid are no France, sadly.
I'm not saying that exactly no. I'm just saying there's some merit to Giggles claim that a lot of players are pussies these days is all. And maybe he didn't need to flail his arms about, but maybe he could have shown some spirit as well, told Lallana fuck it you're up, you can do this, whatever. I just took Ronaldo as an example of a player who is also generally mopey who even him managed to show some fight in a deciding moment.
Of course, it's hard to dislike Salah for anything he does anyway, and it's easy to dislike Ramos. But the latter is a winner and a leader and the former is not, that's just how it is.
On a much more interesting subject:
The Big Nev Southall interview is great.
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...rs-lgbt-issuesQuote:
“That was brought up by some prick,” Southall snorts. “Piers Morgan is a prick. What gives him the right to say what can be on your body? If Sterling had tattooed a massive cock on his leg I would say: ‘It reminds me of Piers Morgan.’”
I don't get why people hate Ramos (aside from priapic Liverpool fans and their conspiracy theories). He's a fucking awesome defender, scores goals, gets sent off for mashing people and has won everything. Outstanding player.
He was on about Piers Morgan.
I love the idea that it makes any difference what a player does when he goes off, it's not a fucking film script guys.
They get a +5% bonus to 'Inspiration' when wearing the armband so maybe it's a -5 to your dexterity saving throw for every player that cries?Quote:

They didn't understand the true dangers of concussion in those days.
Concussed so hard he turned into Minecraft. RIP with the angles :(
It isn’t anything to do with his playing ability. He’s a tremendous player. Did you see him falling over pathetically to get Cuadrado sent off in the final last year? It’s clear why people hate him. He’s an utter twat.Quote:

"He could have played if he got an injection for the second half, I have done it sometimes but when Sergio Ramos does something like this, it sticks a little bit more."
Why didn't they just add "...'and Sergio Ramos thinks you're a bitch,' uttered Ramos." lmaooo
