    Phew .... 
    the lesser of two evils by a long way ... 
    piss off spuds 
    imagine life on earth if they’d won ... no don’t too painful .... 
    one of the downsides living north of the river is too many spurs West Ham and Arsenal but I’ve seen one palace and one scum fan locally the 12 years I’ve lived over here

    Didn’t watch it . Couldn’t find a TV channel showing the game in black and white and with an analogue signal like the last time that Spurs won anything of note . Didn’t feel right somehow to bother with it in that case .

    Spurs choking, not something you often see at the end of a football season...

    The self proclaimed "Best league in the world" produces a shit fest of a match played in, what seemed to be, a bit of a strange atmosphere. It happens I guess, but like the previous all-Prem final in the week, it almost had the sense of a pre-season friendly about it. Very Strange.

    Perfect was hoping 6-0 after the early one then thought no don’t want Liverpool fans being happy seeing millions of replays of that forever .
    it was perfect a penalty 25 seconds in  , all over and a dull nondescript let’s scrub  it from everyone’s memory final .

    Did have all 4 finalists to be fair.

    The 3 week gap told, players weren't quite right.

    Yes, and what a couple of finals they were!

    Really dull final last night I agree (didn't watch Wednesday), but my point was you can't really use that as a stick to beat the PL teams with when they beat the competition.

    Liverpool knocked out Bayern (German champs), Porto (2nd in portugal) and Barcelona (spanish champs)
    Spurs beat Dortmund (German runners up), Man city (English champs) and Ajax (Dutch champs).

    So 4 european league champions beaten en route, plus having all 4 European finalists lays a fairly good claim to being the current best league in the world.

    Could add as well that Man Utd beat the French Champions

    I know they didnt reach the Final but like you say, apart from Juventus and Benfica all big League winners were defeated by an English side

    Of course. But if you just watched the two finals you would be forgiven for wondering what all the fuss is about.

    But as I said, it happens.

    Doesnt wholly explain the weird atmospheres though, but maybe it just never came across well.

    Well i think we all know why the atmosphere in Baku was shit.

    As for last night, the atmosphere seemed fine pre-game and in the fan parks. Maybe it's a combination of the average fan being priced out of a ticket, over half the ground (35k) being corporates and the game was dire, so not really much in the way of excitement to get the fans going.

    There were a few incidents here but a tiny minority of the English fans were involved and happily it passed without any big trouble. I must have seen at least twenty Liverpool fans for every Spurs one but to be fair they were on good form.

    Need to have a rule that gives 75% of the stadium to the clubs.

    The fact that Liverpool seemed Sluggish and turned up with their B game was a great opportunity for Spurs but they missed a trick by not playing Lucas Moura who could of posed a different threat. Ali gets picked regardless by Pochettino,  he lost his marker a few times and took up some decent positions but looked blunt when he got the ball.
    That was Liverpool's second worse CL performance this season, Red Star was worse but Liverpool bizarrely played better in the away leg at Barcelona than last night.
    Spurs were toothless despite having the lion share of the play.

    I like the manager and players of this Merseyside club but like others on CL just can't stand their fans.

    I travelled to watch it in a bar with other winemaker friends. I arrived at kickoff. By the time I walked in the bar it was 1-0. So as boring as it was for all you, it was even more boring for me given I missed the opening.

    The Liverpool supporting pundits all going on about how it doesn't matter how the game was won - "all that matters is the win, nothing else matters". Not what the millions of uncommitted viewers felt. A borefest.

    Stupid penalty to give away. It looked like he’d done a spread bet on first goal.

    Generally crap game after that.

    Quite a good goal to finish it off.

    Let's face it our playoff final against Sunderland wasn't exactly a thrill a minute occasion either for any neutrals watching!

    The most disappointing aspect of the final was the split second given to the female streaker. As I was watching with my old Dad I decided against going back for a second look.
    It turns out she is a model and the stunt was to promote her and her Boyfriend's video business.
    I guess Kinsey Wolanski started off as a Pole dancer.

    But ours was a cup final for teams that failed to win the third division of a domestic league, not the pinnacle of club football!
