Dan, Dan Ballard, Like to think he's well hard, Gets done on the turn, He's no Big Dan Burn Reckon they'll go for it?

Should be a great final between two excellent teams.

The way football has changed bothers loads of fans. In the 60s-80s there wasn't anything like as much reason to fear the club being stripped of its ties to the community, city and history as there is now. Who the club is 'for' from the perspective of the owners has changed massively then. Consequently I think it's natural to want to hang on to what we've got, retain tradition etc.

Personally think having any sort of magpie on the design looks shite. If the person / persons who created the current iteration are still kicking about , get them to do it because every fucker else has been hopeless.

Tbf to Spurs the win over Frankfurt was a good one. I gave them very little chance once they drew the home leg. Man Utd’s win over Bilbao was also excellent, albeit the red card in the first leg changed everything. So if either of them fancied channeling that level of performance tonight…

Big fan of Dortmund's keeper but I think Garcia's the better option.

I didn’t even get a single ticket with mine this season

Yeah, its not much of a story really (surprise surprise for the Chronic!). Apparently the Saudi guy is looking to invest into an English club, and its basically some financial expert (agreeing with what SJ said) suggesting the likes of Sunderland (because of the Netflix exposure) or Sheff Wed would be a better acquisition than the likes of Leeds who are out of his price range. Reckons either would still cost at least £100m though.

Like a dog with two dicks you Dazzla lad. More in heat than Cindy Beale with David Wicks.

Who have Man Utd & Spurs had to beat to get to the final? Genuinely no idea, other than Lyon and Bodo Glimt. It’s baffling how they can both be so bad in the league but have reached a final at the same time. Were the teams they faced really that bad?

I keep looking lustily at the Chelsea members loyalty points scheme in the same way that I'd peek over the garden fence at next doors smoking hot wife when she's out on a summers day trimming her bush in a pair of tiny shorts

Yeah Joelinton's shoes are pretty big to fill, that's why I'm not that surprised that Howe turns to Willock. He might not have the phsyical presence, but he does cover the left flank pretty well. I think the 3 centre back/wing back combo is the next best thing with our current squad.

I get the first part but not the second as football's role in the world doesn't bother any fans, what does that mean in reality? All you care about is your club. Look how many of us, myself included, welcome Saudi Ownership of our club.

That's my aunty Doreen, loads of people mistake her for a man, she's receding a little, but does have a fanny!

I always really liked our current badge, I now think it's the single greatest piece of design work ever produced in the history of mankind after seeing the ocean of abominations in this thread.

Our left centre mid role is quite a challenging role to play Joelinton dominates the whole left side of the pitch, high up and also tracking far back to support the left back. And he's a pretty good runner with the ball. And able to slot into a back 5, wing back etc when tactically required And he makes runs in behind / is a target for the long ball Prime Willock is better with the ball / attacking sense, but weaker defensively Don't think there's many like for like replacements, I like Ederson from Atlanta if we want more of the same, or Cunha if we want something different

Cheaper than Mbeumo, but not Premier League proven. Might be worth the risk for the lower price?

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this.

Hope said around £40 million release clause

I recognise the face of that dude in the middle who looked like he had makeup on during a recent photoshoot... otherwise, no idea

How much is Gittens expected to go for?

For all they're a Saudi affiliated sponsor, they have been pretty good as a sponsor

Aye, was the local Tier 1 journo for San Sebastian at one of their regional papers who broke the actual transfer news, although I think confirmation from The Athletic and similar came within a couple of hours.
