Story tonight that Man United could be "demoted" to the Conference League because their owners INEOS also own Nice who have also qualified for the Europa League. No idea what that could mean for us if it happens

I think United will be fine because INEOS aren't a majority shareholder in United. Like I said in my post above though, I don't agree with it. It's well known that INEOS are in control of the football side of Man United now, even if they aren't majority shareholder. So they will have control of both Man United and Nice in the same competition.

I'm rooting for Fiorentina tonight. Although wearing their away kit, you can still see some of their lovely purple. Plus Olympiakos have a very creepy looking goalkeeper.

This is the kind of stuff that make me unhappy with the current coaching market 

Burnley unlike Sheffield n Luton, had the finance and the personel to stay up last season but because Kompany wanted to keep his cv nice and pretty as this tippy tappy coach, Burnley had no chance from the get go. 

Burnley got relegated and Kompany got Bayern job 😠😠😠

Seems a massive gamble yet let's enjoy the ride and there will be some big casualties at Bayern I expect as some throw their toys out of the pram.

Nothing against Kompany so hope he lasts more than one season.

All I saw was the same failings, chasing balls like a headless chicken, leaving massive gaps, diving in unnecessarily...

Yep. Lucky as all get out when he dived in on Sargent and missed in the SF. Meslier saved his arse. AWOL in the final for Armstrong's goal.

Lots of Jose waffle in the TNT build up to Madrid v Dortmund. Very entertaining as usual.

Tonight, Real Madrid must be the biggest favourites in a CL Final since Bayern Munich played at home against a team from West London in 2012.

Anyone else watching this game ?

Real Madrid haven’t lost a European champions league (and the previous format of the cup) final since 1981, having won the last 8 they’ve reached. They are the favourites by a mile but, watch out for the underdogs… We know pretty well how underdogs can beat the favourites.

Hope Madrid batter the arms manufacturer sponsored german mob....

I only learned about that now that you’ve mentioned it. Apparently the Dortmund fans aren’t too happy about the recent sponsorship. 

I have to root for the underdogs and the team with a current Chelsea player.

Couldn't find it for a while. Didn't know they'd taken it off YouTube this year.

Pitch invader after 30 seconds? Why pay all of that money just to get kicked out immediately? What a moron.

You really have to be a prick to pay hundreds, if not thousands of pounds to jump onto the pitch in the first minute and get kicked out of the ground.

Yeah, it's on Discovery+ here in the UK. 

Can't even watch the Champions League final for free anymore.

I was at Real Madrids first match this CL season against Hertha Berlin at home.

Yeah, but I have to create an account just to watch. Can't be asked to do that.

Fair enough 😂

Bottled it. Great chance. 

Big chance. Timed his run well, almost like watching Nico Jackson

Exactly that. Great run, totally wrong with the finish.

Dortmund hit the post. Madrid are so gettable but they always persevere through sheer luck it's so frustrating.
