Forgot to do this this morning so we're a bit late. Bit late for a Champions League final poll.
Obviously tonight we have Liverpool and Spurs providing an important warm-up game for a number of England players ahead of Team Waistcoat bringing the Nations League home after 0 years of hurt so far.
Also the womens World Cup, which I may actually watch some of as Phil Nev's charisma drives us to a presumably ignonimous exist at some juncture.
3-1 Yids.
Liverpool win.
Getting nervous now though!
Is the goalkeeping still shit? If so, I might have to watch a bit.
Gonna be the most one-sided Champions League Final in the history of football.
Three or four nil, at least.
Can’t wait. :drool:
3-2 Spuds.
No penalty.
That's a joke
That's ridiculous. That wasn't a penalty.
Fucking hell.
Definitely was a pen. What the fuck was Sissy doing.
Looked like he was trying to tell the other spurs guy to follow any overlap. cross comes in and ricochets onto his arm.
Never a pen for me.
Most blatant pen I’ve ever seen.
A female :hubba:
That smiley. :D
Two utterly dire finals. Well done England.
Best league in the world mate.
Been a bit shite so far.

Awful game so far. Not an excuse, but a penalty that early never helps.

I can imagine this is a terrible game from a neutral perspective. Liverpool haven't turned up and Spurs seem to shit their pants every time they get near the final third.
As bad as the first half has been (but we’re winning so F yeah) it wasn’t as bad as this:
Does anyone advertise on BT Sports but BT Sports? This is prime Advertising slots, surely? Or is it just the YouTube airing that's doing it?
Just YouTube.
I believe it's to do with Vitaly the Youtube PRANKSTER.Quote:

Admirable attempt to pretend you haven't just read an article about it.
This has been a complete non event. I don't think a single player has played above a five out of ten.
I haven't.Quote:

I think he's a massive prick and he's been in the news a few times for TAKING HIS PRANKS TOO FAR.
Why do BT constantly try to suck 'Dele' off?
He's been horseshit every time I've seen him and yet BT are always talking like he's the second coming and how he's just about to turn the game around despite never doing so.
Cue a 'Dele' hattrick now ofc.

If Spurs don’t score this goes down as one of the worst finals ever.
:moop:
Damp squib. Thank fuck no extra time though.
Lads, it's Tottenham.
Easy that.
This has probably been worse than that famously abysmal Juventus v Milan 2003 final, although given the quality of players on show in that game it's probably still worse in relative terms.
Has there ever been a properly good final of this contested between two sides from the same nation? I remember a Madrid derby one being a bit dull but with a few moments of drama, and I think the Bayern v Dortmund one improved pretty drastically late on, but I can't think of you'd unequivocally describe as a good game of football.
Spurs should be embarrassed and ashamed. Absolutely pathetic effort.
Amazing game!! Six!!!
Kane has never come back from injury and played well. He needs a few games under his belt.
Waiting for 70 minutes to bring on Lucas is criminal.
Liverpool haven't played that badly all season.
Awful final all round, but, the right team won. Shame.
That really wasn't very good was it?
Andy Robertson played about as well as anyone. Origi misplacing every pass after coming on was a sight to behold. Where's your passing completion stats now opta??
Origi can retire tomorrow as a more directly successful footballer than 99% of those that have played the game.
I'd say Alisson was the man of the match.Quote:

Although that's more than most.
For what? Bar the Eriksen free kick everything was straight at him. Man of the Match was probably one of the Liverpool wing backs.Quote:

lol
Origi's finish was the best thing this season, including all your fancy little comebacks. Fucking clinical in front of his own fans on the biggest stage of all.
lol at the Tottenham twitter account giving it 'We will be back'. No you won't.
Yeah, in some ways they're in a similar position to Liverpool last season (lamenting a bit of a shit showing and some bad luck in a final after getting there against the odds/logic) but you also get the sense they aren't kicking on from here. This is the end of the road for quite a lot of that team, so they'll have to go some to replace whoever leaves with something better. I suppose at least Pochettino hasn't walked off into the Argentinian sunset.
