[Leyton388]

We just haven't turned up for any of the finals and its come home to roost.

We see the very odd and rare glimpse of quality 

We don’t. He’s one of the worst signings in our history. Fucking dreadful player. We will struggle to give him away

[Oh Buoy]

Cunts are setting fireworks off. Go to bed you bad meffs. 

[Paulie Dangerously]

Sick off that. 

[El Rojo]

Didn’t do anywhere near enough to win that. Didn’t do ourselves justice. 
 

Bitterly disappointing, but can you imagine how Jurgen and the lads feel after that? Awful end to the season.

[Leyton388]

£50m for Naby. He's an absolute fraud of a footballer.

Should have put them away in the first 30 mins, not for the first time our finishing isn't clinical enough. A shite end to the season, At least there's no football for a few months. We seriously need to upgrade to go further.

We desperately, desperately need a striker.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Salah can't ask for a fucking penny more than he's currently on. You can't stomp your feet and go missing for half a season. Grow up.

[TheDrowningMan]

We’ll still get a bigger turnout for the parade / wake tomorrow than City did for winning the title.

Hopefully he now knows who needs to be replaced this summer. 3 finals this year and we've turned up in 0. 

 

Just like Sunday when we were absolutely shite.

No complaints from me. 

Courtois was excellent. 

 

The time for us to win that game was in the first 35 minutes or so when we were on top. All night, the passing and final ball or cross just wasn’t good enough and Madrid were just a bit too clever and wiley for us. And they looked much fresher. The Keita sub was a killer. He was poor. 

 

Fair play to Madrid - deserved winners. We didn’t do enough. It’s hardly like they were hanging on for life. It was a similar game to the Athens final. 

 

Two cups isn’t to be sniffed at, but it’s a (little) bit of an anticlimax to a season that promised so much.

I mean, "deserved winners" not really, it's basically a bottom half of the league performance from them just with way better players. But it's a final where anything can happen and they win it, so they get the credit. This basically should have been another 0-0.

I'd love to see a Premiership var official looking at their goal. 

 

No fucking way that was onside

Absolutely. That was offside I have no doubt about it

[Elite]

I've never been as pissed off with us as much as I am now. In other finals we had the excuse of playing against better sides but tonight was different, we just didn't perform and went out with a whimper. I feel embarrassed for the players. Bottle job, pure and simple.

well Salah hasn't done too badly this year (or at least the first half of it)

[skend04]

A few matches too far this season. Still been a great season but you could tell we were mentally off the pace there. The final ball was missing for most of the game.

[RazorBack]

I would sell Salah if he wants to go. Get the money while we still can. End of an era I'd say... Apparently not good enough to win consistently in the PL/CL.

[diamondjoe]

We gotta take this one on the chin, move on and go again next season. Not too disheartened tbh, it was a good run. One game too many.

Thought we were unlucky tbh. Goalie in inspired form although our finishing could have been better. Caught out once for their goal. Fine margins really.

 

Agree.

I thought Trent could have done better on their goal, maybe, but his full-backing we know is not his big strength.

Fine margins.

And let's face it, goalie was superb - on my coverage they're saying it's the best performance they've ever seen by a keeper in such a major game.

 

I can't make a legitimate major, major complaint about the game if I'm honest. 

Apart from maybe a team winning a final with only one shot on target for the game.

 

[Mark M]

Konate was outstanding for us tonight.

The Madrid keeper though ! Fuck me what a performance- I got a bad feeling when he saved Manes shot in the first half he’d have one of those nights 

[Leyton388]

People might not like him but put Harry Kane in our team and we'd have won the league and CL this season. Mo has done fuck all for half a season and he has the front to be asking for £450k a week? 

 

[George Costanza]

Reckon I'm done with football

 

Can't be arsed with it affecting me so much considering how much I actually despise how the game is run & how's money is the only important thing to associations & owners these days.  Its a grotesque professional sport at the elite level now. I'm sure the Euro/Gulf super league sponsored by Etihad & Aramco will be amazing & full of hugely paid superstars in a few years but i'm out.

 

 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Rio Ferdinand can fuck off too. The wobbly gobbed shithouse. 

[Scooby Dudek]

Thought the ref was shite, three injuries in extra time but no extra time. Once they scored they "game management" kicked in, with Koos being the worst, three times rolling about stopping play. 

Not clinical, they had two attempts, scored twice and one ruled off side. 

 

Once they scored I never thought we would, so obviously disappointed but not devastated. 

 

All our shots, apart from one was straight at the goalkeeper. As we all said before the game, it was all about being clinical. They were, we weren't.
