Must be my youth (as a Chelsea fan), but I also don’t mind either team. Most my ire is directed at Arsenal and Man U (and Man City, to a lesser degree). I didn’t love them in the Suarez days, but I like watching Liverpool play now and I’m a fan of Harry Kane and Christian Erickson (plus a bunch of US players have played for Spurs). The only drawback is a guy I know who’s a huge Liverpool fan is a little much when they’re winning.
You must be the only Chelsea fan I have ever met that doesn't have anything but complete and utter contempt for Topscum , we must NEVER forget 67! I hate Liverpool with a passion (them and Man U are the media darlings in the UK & always have been which piss*s off a lot of people here) BUT c'mon its Spurs! I am simply going to completely ignore the CL this year, in my eyes, it aint happening (might even take the Mrs shopping that day) but IF I had a gun to my head and asked to choose a winner it would have to be the bin dippers cos u know...........Sp*rs!
I'll be pulling for Liverpool. I think Mane is a special player as is Salah. I do like Klopp and his style of football. It's fun to watch and he's assembled a very good squad there. Van Dijk is overrated, but a decent player, but the whole team is solid. Robertson is crazy good and Trent-Alexander is only 20 and already a legend. I'd love Klopp to be our manager and I can see how the whole city is behind him. Also, Liverpool is owned by the Red Sox so if they win, it's kinda like the Yankees losing. But not really at all.
We are the ONLY London club to win the Champions League and I would like that to remain so. But this is truly a satanic occurrence - Liverpool and Spurs in the final - I will not be watching. Cricket is a very appealing sport this time of year. I feel that both teams should be disqualified as neither side has actually won the league in such a long time. It is just wrong.
All I can say about this final is that it'll be more entertaining than an all Italian team final (Looking at you, 2003). That said, I wish neither team would win.
Entertaining game though. Derby 3-2 up on the day, 3-3 on aggregate, dirty leeds down to ten men after a dirty challenge.
And Derby go 4-2 up!! Been all over dirty leeds the past few minutes and hit a post when clear through. C'mon Supah! Frank and JT face off in the final as it stands
I’m pulling for Derby and Frank. He’s the HC, would love to see Duane Holmes I the EPL, Derby has a good history and I’ve never been a fan of Villa. Plus if he makes it up and we dont have a ban I’d love to send Frank some players to get EPL ready.
I think Mount is ready to replace Barkley as a legit rotational player but if we land Countinho who can play wing and cam I’d rather he get more PT elsewhere, If we land a ST I’d send Frank Tammy, can’t spell his name but the CB. Reece James should stay with us as back up RB that might be able to take the starting role by year end. If there is ban I’d keep them minus the CB.
i'd agree with pretty much all of that. though i'm not entirely on the coutinho train, i wouldn't be all that upset if he came either. i'm not really sure what position he'd be best at here, we need him in the front 3, and i say that because i'd like RLC to continue as our two way and more attacking midfielder.
We play a lot of games. Coutinho, Cho and Pulisic can rotate through the 2 winger spots with Pedro as the 4th. Coutinho and Pulisic can move to CAM when we need to chase a game late or if we’re playing a weak team that we’ll need to break down. Midfield would be Kanté-Jorgy-RLC with the worst of 3 coming off for one of the above in a game we’re chasing. Depth behind them is subpar. Barkley is meh and that’s it. Don’t see Ampadu as a CM but rather a CB.
Shame the fa cup final is on espn+. Masterclass from city playing with freedom and swagger. Chasing the record final score of 6-0. Hertfordshires finest not in this at all PS 6-0 down, after the solo record of 7. Wow. PPS there is literally a blue moon tonight too https://www.rt.com/news/459685-blue-moon-event-may-decade/
Thorgan is a quality player at only 26. Tons of experience already and a member of a stacked national team. Dortmund also just signed Nico Schulz from Hoffenheim yesterday.
Thorgan had one of the best seasons in the Bundesliga this year. He's a huge get for Dortmund. They have Sancho and now Brandt and Hazard. That is a loaded attack.
I imagine Reus will play in the central striker role more now. Their midfield is really good. They have Weigl, Witsel, Delaney, and so on.
