Out for tea (dinner for southerners) with Mrs Binners
can someone do me a quick concise summary of the first half please? A proper one with swearing and everything
Not sure I can avoid the swear filter, but Madrid just scored 2 despite being a bit shit. Not a great game, with Bayern mostly on top but not taking their chances. So 58 mins1-2. 1-0 my arse!!
hope you’re not talking with your mouth full Binners?...us suverners frown on such things!
BTW.. it’s dinner for lower middle class Southerners, but for upper middle class ....it’s Supper! 😮
Real seem to have this ability to turn any opposition into a poor version of their usual selves. They’ll probably win yet again.
I'd fancy Liverpool against either of those defences.
Bayern, solid but slow. Hummmels would be in trouble.
Real, massive space behind the full backs. Salah vs Marcelo anyone?

Very possibly. Will be fascinating. They win in Europe for a reason.
Well, it looks like Wenger will be leaving on a big low after last nights result. Very frustrating to watch as a Gooner, but then that match seems to sum up everything about us. Not over yet, we’ve dug out some incredible results away in Europe over the years when we’ve been the heavy under dog.
So who wants to take the bet of WBA, Southampton & Stoke staying up?
The reports from St Jamse's (my Dad) said WBA are certainly not the worst team in the league.
WBA may not be the worst team at the moment... but they have been woeful up until three games ago. A new manager seems to have made the difference ... but they are going down.
Stoke deserve to go down because they have been awful ...
Southampton ... if you sell all you players to Liverpool, sooner or later you will not be able to paper over the cracks ..
Far more worryingly, Reading are sleepwalking into division 1 obscurity.
Watching MOTD I'd say Huddersfield and Swansea are on very shakey ground still, last few games Southampton have looked much better, Well played WBA should have booted Pardew before they hired him...
Another casual hardly-breaking-a-sweat demolition by City.
I’m sure Arsene will get a good reception at OT. He’s been in charge for some right old ding-dongs here.
But it shows you where we both are at the moment to think that it’s not that long ago that this would probably have been a title-deciding match. Now it’s about how far we’ll finish behind city, and if Arsenal can finish above Burnley
Edit: nice to see OT give him the respect he thoroughly deserves
I think it’s fair to say we won’t see this team fielded by Arsenal next season....
Probably not, be interesting to see how many Jose gets bored of this summer too
Not a bad 1st half performance from our kids...although Xhaka has been a liability! We’ve got s 19 yr old making his debut st CB.
Glad we never wasted £90m on Lukaku! 😀
Good come back, United were taking it easy for 1-0 there
Graeme Souness is very complimentary about the Arsenal defence 😂
It was lucky they were so slack as Man U didn't really look interested in scoring another for most of the game against the Arsenal Kids team
Indeed. A lot of the usual suspects swanning around not doing an awful lot.
Lindelof played well I thought, hoping he’ll kick on next season. Anyone know what’s happened to Bailly?
Comparing the Man players in the final third to City and the man u players just look static. City pull defenders all over the place.
Klopps Assisitant Buvac is now the clear favourite to replace Wenger! Hmmm!!
Sad for Graeme Murty, sacked by Rangers. It was I think inevitable once Gerrard indicated interest in the job, and he has made errors caused by inexperience but from what I have heard of him as a player, coach and manager there is no more decent person in football.
As a Reading fan, no finer moment than in our record breaking 106 season, we got a penalty in the last game. We needed the win to beat the points record, but Graeme Murty was the only regular outfield player to not score that season........
Quality dive over the scrum!
Real sneak through. Can't believe how many chances Bayern missed over the two legs.
Salah v Marcelo in the final will be tasty! Unless we have an LFC collapse tomorrow.
Well that was an interesting one.. Navas was unreal in goal for Real, some properly impressive saves by him.
Based upon the performance though i'd rather be facing Real out of the 2 teams, assuming tonight goes OK that is.
Lets see what insanity tonight brings. An early goal for Liverpool would settle my mind massively.
[Liverpool fan]
I have a horrible feeling those 2 late goals and our injuries will come back and bite us tonight. I really hope I'm wrong but I'm prepared for the worst.
I agree with mikey74. With possible suspensions , even if they get to the final it'll be tricky to pick a strong 11. Maybe Woodburn will get a kick!
Not sure it can be weaker than this one
<b>Liverpool</b>: Dudek, Finnan (Hamann 46), Traore, Hyypia, Carragher, Riise, Gerrard, Luis Garcia, Alonso, Kewell (Smicer 23), Baros (Cisse 85).
Subs Not Used: Carson, Josemi, Nunez, Biscan
But we all know how that went. I mean, look at that bench ! wow...
Put into even more context when you look at their opponents
Dida, Cafu, Maldini, Stam, Nesta, Gattuso (Rui Costa 112), Seedorf (Serginho 86), Pirlo, Kaka, Shevchenko, Crespo (Tomasson 85).
Hazy memories of 2005 weeksy but that Milan team is unreal. Just shows what can happen in a one off game. Spurs play quite like Liverpool and they tore Real apart at Wembley - I think they have a better chance against Real than Bayern.
I think you’ll be alright. Probably similar match to the 2nd leg v Citeh, so need to weather the storm and pick em off as they tire.
Jeez....one of the biggest matches in English footie (for years) tonight and this threads like:
V excited here.
Inconviently, my missus is off out tonight so I have to do bedtime stories etc.... I plan to pause it and watch when land of nod has arrived , so I may look in at the end of half time (spoiler avoidance!) 🙂
My missus is out too so it's me and my boy! Bring it on!
Sat here, tea done, run done, burpees done...... cup of tea to my left, STW on my lap, and can't work out what channel's it on?
super finish given the pressure
Well that was all over quickly!
Any finish that goes in is a good one...
I think Mane finding the gap between the keepers arm and leg rather than going over, under, or to the side wasn't exactly clinical.
History is written by the winners though!
pure comedy........
Shame Arsenal aren’t playing Roma tomorrow!
Be great if ben woodburn gets 10 mins at the end if roma need silly amount of goals,he'll score aswell:)
Half time team talk by?
So just to understand -
they've scored seven
I don't even support them
and I'm still scared stiff they'll somehow blow it?
Another goal might see me a bit more comfortable, as then Roma would need another 5...... but only a bit
I’m on the edge of my seat still and I’m not a Liverpool fan. Their fragile defence brings an element of slap stick.
Still otherjohnv it’s not the SIMOD cup!
No, we gave the 'better' team a start in that one too!
Salah's barely had a kick. Over-rated
