Another Great day at Wembley with my lad, winning mickey mouse cups stand us in good stead for the big ones ?

Kepa??????

It's funny how fans always deride certain cup competitions until they win them - then it's a real trophy

Will be cheering on the the Mighty Millers in the Papa John's Trophy semi final next week, the next step on the way to a League and Cup double

What a crazy final. Disallowed goals left right and centre. Chelsea fluffed so many good chances to score. Then they sub off their goalie even though he's played an absolute blinder. When they did that we were saying "imagine if he makes no saves and then missed the crucial one.. haha" and he only went and did exactly that! You couldn't make it up, no one would believe you. Unreal.

Edit: One on VAR - I've said it so many times but it's a shame that a forward can't be level with the defence anymore. Some small aspect of his person will always be past the magical line. Today, Lulaku's left bicep was offside. Farce.

was it his shirt sleeve part of the bicep though ???

Shirt sleeves is handball not offside - keep up!!!

Does Stockley park know that ??

It's the same thing though. To be given offside a part of the body you can play the ball with must be in an offside position. Hence the ruling for the hand ball is the same as the ruling for offsides.

Best 0-0 Ive watched in years yesterday, fair play to Liverpool and Chelsea.

Be great to see that game re-played in the champions league final!

Have you been drinking? No, just no

Id always rather see two English teams in the final? Wouldnt you?

No. It feels like another domestic cup final, just played abroad.

Not necessarily those two, one of them definitely not .

Joking apart, I tihnk it is good to have one European team in the final to make it feel like a European match. If it is just 2 English teams then it is not that much different to a regular league or domestic cup game.

They have to beat the rest to get there though? Personally I'd just rather see our league proven as the strongest in Europe. Thats achieved through dominance in the CL.

Absolutely not.

 

[Beezerk]

Absolutely not.

Always ends up a snooze fest, I’d much rather have it an English team vs European team in the final, at least then I can shout for the English team (unless it’s Liverpool of course ??).

See maybe I'm the weird one then. I'd support the foreign team.

You are not alone, depending on which English team. There are 2-3 where I am definitely shouting for someone else.

Really? I do find that odd. I could understand Liverpool but who else? Tranmere? ?

It's a part of football and rivalry for me. We have a nightly phone in on local radio and there's always someone who says, "I want all the Midlands teams to do well." ???

Liverpool, just obvious really
Man Utd, grew up in a solid Man Utd supporting area. Unbearable
Chelsea, less dislikeable than they used to be, the whole Mourinho, Terry, Drogba group were horrible, so I can waver with them now.

You obviously would not cheer Sheff Utd, would you want Barnsley or Rotherham to win a cup? (not sure who else would come in to your realm, so many teams around there)

Not so much Sheff Utd but I'd be happy for my mates who follow them. It's different with Barnsley and Rotherham, I don't really see them as rivals so I would definitely shout for them in a final, I would any Yorkshire team apart from Leeds.
