Enough already here's the 2016-2017 Champions League thread

i was gonna watch it until i found out BT have taken their channel off Freeview

I'd like an ajax win too but the Manchester bus is a large and well organised one now that it is a goal to the good.

free BT live stream on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9sH2U_8QQ4

xp

Noodle it's free on YouTube

I really wouldn't bother as a neutral

Flukey goal and hang on for the next 75 minutes, it's inspiring stuff. Ajax are, kind of, not very good though.

Otm, it's a bore so far. Ajax can't, ManU won't.

yeah, i'd have it on the TV in the background but i'm not turning off Football Manager just to watch the livestream

That's the spirit :D

Too easy. Happy for Mhiki

Game over. Unfortunately I'm stuck in a pub with some London Reds, generally some of the most obnoxious fans in world football. Another thing, tonight I'm wearing a Dutch Army combat jacket, completely inadvertently, but thankfully none of these twunts know what the Dutch flag looks like.

Jolly Dutchman in pub, "10 minutesh to go, we musht shcore two goalsh".

Why a Dutch army jacket tho? It certainly can't be because it's a good army iirc

What do we reckon?

a) A humiliating substitution of bringing Roo in the 91st minute?
b) Not bring him in, keep him out of the bus, never heard of ever again

It's a nice jacket!

lol ok, 89th minute is close enough

what a moment for twp

xp I believe you Tom!

xxp lmao

Hardly a 26th minute Guard of Honour.

Jolly Dutchman trying a congratulations with London Reds - completely blanked

huzzah

fuck united, fuck every united fan, fuck every trite media cocksucker peddling this ghoulish official busby babe tragedy noodle partner narrative tonight

.. oh... oh... he's trying again, he's tried the friendly slap on the back this time... gets some acknowledgment.

.. an especially drunk London Red has just spilled his beer down the Jolly Dutchman's trousers. He is still jolly.

... now loudly talking to someone else about how he is "... shurprished to find Mancheshter United fansh from London."

... Ajax go up to collect their runners-up medals, the Jolly Dutchman to the London Reds, "Applaud them please!". Some do.

There is something especially horrible about Cockney Man Utd fans.

The dressing room.

sorry that'll teach me for looking at twitter at 7am

still these jose post match comments are nice though eh

rtc otm. BT last night was milking it horrendously. "The biggest game of the season, nothing could be bigger for all of us here in the studio" or "the goal the whole country wanted to see" etc. Sport has almost nothing to do with an atrocity like the bombing this week.

It was fairly grotesque, yeah. Not really the club's fault though

football chant being abusive towards local rivals / jesse lingard is world's highest earning twelve year old shocker, but yes, not very classy really. still isn't even the most embarrassing part of the evening though - that was scowling zlatan pushing rojo out of his selfie with the trophy, then posing in front of the 'stay and shag my wife' banner.

terrible football too - win a scrappy early goal, then defend the lead like a bunch of teens trying to keep zombies out of the cabin

It wasn't great, no, but the much vaunted Ajax side were absolutely rubbish

not very effective zombies it's true

not like yer southamptons or whatever

those two sanchez tackles though, wow

Sanchez was impressive but he did literally push Lingard over when he broke through. I actually thought De Ligt looked the better defender

can't read his name without getting groove in is the heart stuck in my head

"There are many poets in football, but poets, they don't win many titles [...] The kids were amazing, with the help they gave us in the last match... we managed to finish with some dignity, which is important in this club..."

The Zlatan thing is pretty funny tbh ¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯

mourinho was so obviously knackered and ready for the beach, making it clear how much he's hated this season

itll all be fine by august

when we get spanked 5-0 by cron & his chums in the super cup

The Zlatan thing is pretty funny tbh

sorry, it's my inner keano being triggered by the bantz

Heh. The BT commentator repeatedly pronounced his first name as Matísse, which I thought was a nice touch. De Ligt (17) is an amazing talent and I think he did well last night. Ajax were disappointingly rubbish. Playing both Traoré and Younes more or less set this up, as both excel in missing opportunities.

The Zlatan thing annoyed me, but not as much as BT dragging the terror attack into it. I'm sure those who lost a loved one will feel way better when they can see Mou lifting a fucking trophy in the city tomorrow.

Really? Hasn't it just switched to 115 this season (in HD?). Does that mean you can't see it? Supposedly both this and CL final are on that Freeview HD channel. I saw the match in a pub in Fitzrovia; I never get home for more than the last 20min of a 7:45 k/o these days :/

This is driving me nuts, Sky keep saying Cardiff is not only the smallest city to host a Champions League final but that it is by far the smallest city to host a Champions League final - it was repeated three times in the report I just watched. The population of Cardiff is 341,000, the population of Gelsenkirchen is 260,368.

very very excited for this. forzaaaaa Juve
