May Football: It's Up For Grabs Now

[Kikó]

The accommodation prices in Bilbao are ridiculous so looks like an all nighter either way on the 21st for a few.

[Yevrah]

How much are they charging?

I can remember 3 all English European finals. United v Chelsea, Liverpool v Spurs and then in the Europa, Chelsea v Arsenal.

I seem to remember all of them being quite terrible games too.

Chelsea battered Arsenal 4-1 thank you very much. Eden Hazard’s final game. My GOAT.

Must be proper panic stations in Bilbao at realising they have an English vs English final. Pintxo shops being boarded up as we speak.

[niko_cee]

Pintxo, egg and chips por favor.



ETA to reform.

[Magic]

This is nailed on to be the worst final in European cup history.

Nothing is ever going to come close to Red Star v Marseille in shitness terms, or some of the other late 80s / early 90s finals.

Haven't Spurs absolutely bummed United twice this season? All set up for a hilarious capitulation in the only one that matters.

Even for dorms, the price was about €700 cheapest.

I went to the Open last year and chose to room up in Gretna (about 100 miles away) and commute there and back. For any kind of major event these days you're just fucked anywhere near it.

[Yevrah]

Jesus, that is brutal.

As for the match itself, I too would be staggered if Spurs won. Which is a bit nuts for a two horse race.

I'm thinking about one of the villages near Bilbao which seems to be well connected by the metro. My only constraint is I need to get back to Bilbao for the morning for a coach at 8 back to Madrid.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter how good or shit you are, this will be all about bottle. And Spurs have absolutely none.

League
3-0 at OT when Bruno got that laughable red at 1-0.
1-0 at Spurs

Cup
4-3 in the cup. Keeper decided to let Son score a corner, so that was nice. Forster had money on United and gave us a couple.

Spurs being Spurs means they wont be favourites but they have been the better of the two when we have met this season.

[niko_cee]

Had a look and understat had them with an xG over over 5 in that OT game.

[Kikó]

I think it'll be close but Spurs start favourites. Hopefully Amad stays fit and lindelof doesn't then we have a good chance.

[Spikey M]

Spurs could be playing an under 11's 5-a-side team and they wouldn't be favourites. A final is a final.
