Bryan, Cairney, Sessegnon, all good players.

Thoroughly enjoyed that half. Playing some great stuff on the break with Shelvey linking up with the front 3. Enjoyable viewing. Mitrovic getting some stick from our travelling support like Bless him. Looked sick at one point as he stood in front of them as they ironically cheered up before a rendition "You're just a shit Salomon Rondon".

Looks it. Good for him. Skinny cockney wanker.

5-1 to Newcastle.

Aye but it's wedding seyson.

Terribly uneventful game this.

Want West Brom to come up. If we fail to sign Rondón, it’s down to our own failure to do what’s required and not the league status of West Brom.

Half way to Baku for the two London sides. Wonder if the Chelsea fans would be keen on repeating their Prague chanting exploits in the Caucasus. I highly doubt it.

It's depressing because in most people's recent memory Spurs couldn't even finish above us. The trajectory of both clubs is vile. The trajectory of ours has been vile. Personally can't manage to be bitter about Spurs developing as a club, building a good side and having a great manager achieve something like this. Sure, not too long ago we were at a similar level, they got better, we got worse. That's football for ya.

Not sure why anyone has a problem with Spurs being in the final. They've more than deserved it after their performances against Man City & Ajax.

Love the Ajax side, but that is unbelievable from Tottenham. Big fan of Pochettino too, pleased for him. Tough to take for the Ajax youngsters. Definitely behind Spurs to win the whole thing, Arsenal fans must be fucking sick

Had no idea you were this old.

Son would look mint in this Ajax team. Suits their style perfectly, technique + work rate.

He's wonderful.

:lol:

Really didn't expect that result at 8pm

Barcelona's defending man. Absolutely tragic.

Mad in how in two teams full of superb players, the two standouts for me in that half are Vidal & Matip. Not to say they're not superb like, but with Van Dijk, Mane, Messi, Suarez, Pique etc on the field, it's those two named that stand out thus far, both just excellent.

I want Suarez to score more than Messi here. It'd be delicious.

McManaman: Here's Luis Suarez diving around again. Fuck off man, Suarez is repeatedly fouled, beyond belief. Whilst Liverpool players love a roll around.

Foden really needs to leave Man City. What do you (and others) make of Foden? I feel like he's currently at a decent standard but made to look better due to being eased into such an outstanding team. Until recently he'd usually play when City were in exhibition mode having killed teams off. Lately he's been trusted with a few starts, played decent against Spurs but was anonymous against Leicester - poor in fact, but you allow that for a youngster. I think he will be a good player, maybe more, but the fanfare of this season is slightly premature. Still potential for me, not yet quite ready.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Milner, Henderson, Mane, Origi, Shaqiri, The Kop, Klopp, This Means More. Barcelona: ter Stegen, Roberto, Pique, Lenglet, Alba, Busquets, Vidal, Rakitic, Coutinho, Suarez, Messi.

Stop being a dafty man Ayo, you pua love Tynemouth, Playa de la concha is for pussies. Plus our hair gel selection is way bigger. STAY!

Was hoping he had maybe had a change in heart/circumstance - but his most recent interview sounds like someone leaving, albeit with some regret on his behalf too.
