Another fact, every time Real Madrid have knocked out the reigning champ they've won the CL. SO THE BATTLE OF NUMBERS BEGINS! THE NUMBERS MASON!

[Vercetti27]

mourinho's home record in tatters this season. technically lost three at home if you count west brom (a howler from a ref after a typical peice of diving from ramires)

[Non Funkable Token]

Everyone got what deserved tonight. Atleti looked for the pass and got it instead of wait for gifts from the rival team. Mourinho's caveman style in a super rich team like Chelsea is a shame.

[Doc Rikowski]

This final is going to be epic.

I lived 3 years in Madrid and I know very well the rivalry between "Vikingos" and "Indios" (RM supporters vs AM supporters).

I have friends from Madrid, supporters from both teams, coming over to Lisbon for the match.

It's going to be a great party.

 

The path of AM, in a bit more than a decade, from the second division ("the year in hell") to the CL final is simply unprecedented in Europe.

Personally I think RM has got everything to lose in this match while AM will still be applauded even if they lose this match and possibly win the Liga.

 

Needless to say I will support AM.

AM is the real Madrid team, the people's team. RM is the elite team, the posh one.

AM wears Madrid colours and Madrid emblem on its shirt while RM just wears the monarchy colours.

If you had ever watched a match in the Calderon and one in the Bernabeu you would instantly feel the difference from a soulless team, RM, and a incredibly and passionately loved one, AM.

 

Aupa Atleti!

[Mr Rabbit]

I think this is the first all one city final as well for the European cup. What a season for Atletico, could potentially be a godly season.

YES YES YES.

[Hodgey.]

YES YES YES.

 

You a Real Madrid fan now?

[Joseph Cooke]

I think this is the first all one city final as well for the European cup.

No, it was an all London final in 2008

[Special Agent 25]

i see what you did there ^

 

 

Final's gonna be epic (hopefully) think real will still sneak it though and Atletico will win la liga.

I agree. I cant see Atletico losing the La Liga title now, but think that Real Madrid will just have enought to see them off in the final.

 

Apparently Monk to become full time coach of Swansea from the start of next season.

Yeah we forgot all City fans were from Manchester

[GTA_stu]

Suppose I can at least enjoy the final stress-free now. f*ck though man, our defensive errors really cost us and we're normally so solid in big games like that. That's pretty much our season over unless there are even more massive shocks in the league.

[Choymz]

Simeone has done a fantastic job with my favorite spanish team!

Would it be mean to suggest that Falcao would be kicking himself right now?

[Josh]

Anyone here read The Blizzard? It's basically a long-form football fanzine with stuff from well-known journalists, novelists and bloggers -- and there are some pretty decent interviews in there.

 

Also it's one of those wishy-washy payment things that lets you pay as much as you like, so I've just downloaded all 13 editions for a princely 13p

 

Seriously would recommend it, and at that price it's really not much of a risk to the bank balance either.

[Max]

The Blizzard is brilliant. Proper football analysis and journalism free of the constraints of Sky/BBC/BT/any of the papers. Articles about football, by those who love the game, for those who want to know....if that makes sense.

Exciting final day in the Championship. Brighton score a stoppage time winner to secure the final play-off place, Birmingham score a late equalizer after being 2-0 down to stay up. Also glad to see Blackpool stay in the Championship, they've had an horrific spell recently. I'd either like to see BHA or Wigan get promoted via the play-offs.

I was just going to say the same thing. Been watching West Ham v Spurs but put Burnley v Reading on for the last 10 mins and I wasn't disappointed. Insane ten minutes then.

 

I cant say I'm to bothered who gets promoted back to the Prem although if Wigan do it's very easy to get tickets their when Liverpool play against them.

[Nlwt]

Yeah Wigan never fill up, never had trouble getting tickets, I even sat in the home end once because my mate is a Wigan fan. Was really awkward sitting there in silence as United score.

[Max]

Well I am f*cking happy. Beating Spurs for the 3rd time this season and absolutely securing Premiership football next season.

[I cucked Alex Jones]

Is there any feeling in the world than beating Spurs.

 

Can't see Sunderland going down now.

[Nlwt]

Can't fault the work rate today, the finishing on the other hand has been f*cking diabolical. Absolute sh*te. Just not enough quality in that final third. Sunderland have defended well though and I'm not surprised with the draw they had at City and the win at Chelsea.

[Crokey]

Oooft, we got a 10 today.

 

Hamilton Accies 10-2 Morton

[Nlwt]

How is Moyes managing United all the way from Florida?

[Josh]

Bristol Rovers down.

 

 

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

HA

 

[Eminem!]

Man United are terrible

[Vercetti27]

sad day for sport in bristol. this city continues to be a f*cking football wasteland. thank the lord I'm not connected with either club

Watching Sunderland beat United, maybe?
