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

... 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.

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

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

Got a good BT stream up and running. Forza Juve indeed.

Oh fuck off.

Fuck everything

whaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Omg

LOLz get it up ye, Cron

:D

Ooh la la!

disappointed when either team scores. what a festival of football

LOLz get it up ye, Cron x2

ok those were two of the most beautiful goals i've ever seen and they've both come in the first 20 mins of a CL final!

Lol Tom

Ramos surely not playing 90 mins here tonight

tear in my eye imagining how amazing that goal wouldve been without dour cunt bt sport commentary acting like mandz scuffed it and the keeper went with the wrong hand etc

idk I feel like there was an element of hit and hope to it

the build up was class though

Madrid are so fucking insufferable to watch. Every single decision against them and it's shenanigans. I would've sent off five of them already.

Rtc: commentary is dire indeed.

ref is having a mare tbf

the despicable ian darke and hargreaves are only on the youtube stream apparently?

Oh ay?

Tbh goalies feet a disgrace for huge goal

"Tony Cruise"

Was that Harvey Keitel in an effing car insurance commercial? Is nothing sacred etc

yeah the bt sport commentators on my stream had nothing but effusive praise for the goal

Fuck everything

RIP Gianluigi

absurdly jammy
