Football

Can't disagree about the penalties, VAR is absolute shite but still thought we just about edged it and try scoring a penalty past Samba anyway. Said before the game that it's a ridiculous decision to put a retiree ref in charge, this isn't a testimonial it's the highest stakes game in football. Anyway after 23 years we're back that's all that matters to us.

Congratulations to Forest. Neither team were at their best but Notts always looked the most like winning (aside from the obvious penalties!).

It's been a great season for Town after a few horror seasons in a row. Happy to be looking forward to competitive season in the championship rather than weekly beatings in the prem.

And to think some folks got a bit upset about Vieira legging some nobhead in our pitch invasion:

^ It's ok to be upset at both.

Yup. But I'm going to suggest folks should probably be more upset about one of them and also recognise the difference between the two.

French football is on the verge of a Heysel incident.

UEFA would do well to proactively ban all French teams from European competitions for the next 5 years.

To screw over Mbappe?

Ceferin and PSG are hand in glove.

More PSG than him personally.

Jokes aside though, something nasty is gonna happen there sooner rather than later at the current rate. There’s been too many close shaves already. As the governing body do you wait for it to go wrong or do you preempt it going wrong and give them the opportunity to get their house in order?

I’d choose the option without loss of life personally.

Big time, already had players assaulted this season, like two or three games suspended? It's not just happening at one or two clubs either it's widespread.

to put liverpools season in perspective, imagine getting to two finals scoring zero goals and winning zero trophies, i think we did quite well in comparison to some teams

Second best team in England, second best team in Europe, better than Chelsea at penalties. Seems a fair assessment.

Ah so now the UEFA Supercup and FIFA Club World Cup are no longer considered trophies?

Only if Man city have won them

This season there were at least 9 games disrupted or abandoned before Christmas. That’s just what happened inside the stadiums too. I once went to PSG away saw a guy getting ambushed with an axe to the head.

damn..... i did actually look at the chelsea fc website and notice them before i posted. but blundered on regardless !

That’s unlike you /s

Goodnight sweet prince.

Just been through town and lots of Argentinian fans everywhere , taken over that pub on the corner near South Lambeth tube station …. loads of massive banners everywhere … most really pissed already. Stopped to ask “ Que passe ? “ and it’s Italy v Argentina in some sort of UEFA Champions cup at Wembley …
should be a good atmosphere - Argie fans are bonkers …

That's an interesting cup that feels like the answer to an obscure sports round pub quiz question.

… I’d like to go … but - Wembley … ! You’d think there would be more coverage as it’s the Champions of South America versus the Champions of Europe …. but …. can’t find anything in the press and it’s at Wembley so you’d think the F.A. would be promoting it …. should be a good game Argentina - Italy ….. if it was a serious game , big crowd , kicking off …would be great ….

Big game happening up norf this evening.
For more reasons than one.

only football can win tonight. hope it is a brilliant atmosphere at the game.

Im hoping no one listened to the campaign to get the tartan army to try and sing the Ukraine anthem...
