Us British are a bit obsessed with 'hunger and desire' for some reason. Held us back for years. As you say, some journalists still stuck with that way of thinking.

The Llorente sub made all the difference yesterday. 

I’m sure both the Ajax and Spurs players had equal hunger and desire. It’s not like they play champions league finals every week!

[jyoung]

Man like Kepa.

[mjsell]

Every one of the the European finalists have been beaten by wolves this season.

[zahidf]

Yuck

 

[The Nal]

Value for money this week anyway

[thetime]

Chelsea only getting 5 thousand tickets, that’s shocking. 

[Wooderson]

Should be a minimum 80k limit on stadia for these finals. Baku? GFY.

[Hutchmaster]

Not sure if there's any London based reds fans here, but does anyone know of any Liverpool friendly bars to watch the final? Moving back to London the day before and would quite like to watch it without fear of upsetting some Spurs fans ?

[The Nal]

Seems the big Madrid CL final ripoff is in full flow. £500 for a hotel etc.

Very few stadia have that, but Baku apparently has a capacity of 70k. Fuck knows how they're giving such a small allocation.

You'll be fine in any Arsenal or Chelsea.

A few weeks ago I watched a Liverpool game with a bunch of Chelsea and Arsenal fans, constantly telling me how much they can't stand the idea of Liverpool winning anything. 

They've all become much friendlier in the last few days.

Good news for spurs fans. Bad for everton fans

Yep. Personally I'm not that bothered. Rivalries are a bit of fun at the end of the day, I'm not too keen on when it boils over into pure hatred and anger.

Pretty much spot on.

I remember living in Manchester during the heyday of the united/arsenal rivalry, it was a united pub and there was just one arsenal fan in there all the time. Lots of banter but never boiled over to anything else. 

On the other hand I walked into a city pub when I first moved there in my united top, now that could of been a bit tasty if I did not use common sense and did what they asked. ?

Really hope this is true! Not the player we need as the system can't accommodate both him and Siggy with Gylfi Sigurdsson being the better player. Might do well at Spurs though.

The spending power of the top clubs already pretty much locks out the other teams from competition. Lets not forget the main reason we have 4 English teams in the finals is due to their financial power relative to other clubs.

Jurgen Klopp speaking this morning: “At least the big clubs in England want to stay, with all they have, in Europe.

The Madonna doc is going to be great. From the director of Senna, which is one of the best docs of the last ten years.

[rock the clock]

Can't believe the allocation for the Europa final. We all know UEFA are awful but two London clubs playing in fucking Baku - so difficult to get to and one of Arsenal's players isn't even allowed in the country.

 The game is fucked.
