European Cup Final: Internazionale vs Abu Dhabi Oilers (Atatūrk Stadium, Instanbul, June 10, 8pm)

[Fugitive]

Like watching Lance Armstrong winning the Tour de France 

[TheHowieLama]

I guess Thierry Henry's check cashed.

Be Everton fans.

Probably .  What a great wheeze 

[Bjornebye]

Flat as fuck. Nobody gives a shit. 

[Red_or_Dead]

State of that cunt on the BBC live text:

 

"They have been the best team in Europe over the course of the last decade or so I reckon - so it's fair they win a Champions League."

 

Fucking hell.

That was the quickest I've ever changed channels

That’d be an interesting thing to know. TV companies will know how many were watching, they’ll probably know how many turned over or turned off. 

[s(k)aturation]

 

Defending/blocking attempts on that goal, by the way, were as brave as and brought back fond memories of Glen Johnson courageously putting his body on the line, trying to prevent that Palace 3-3 equaliser in 2014.

 

Witches. Hats.

[Tenfolder]

All i'll say is I find all the apathy im reading from 'neutral' fans I know for this win, including United fans(makes sense given they are about to be the next state back financially doped team), a lot of the same fans were and always are heavily all about Liverpool not winning. Once again it really does show how sportswashing does it's job.

[Harry Squatter]

Weirdly I'm more pissed off tonight about us losing to Real Madrid last season than I was then. 

 

I knew City would win so never watched it. Just annoyed we lost that fucking final last year. 

[Daisy]

Lukaku you shit cunt

[Elite]

This is the culmination of the heart of football being completely eroded. I'll still watch us but the days of winning by merit or being a well run club that has success are gone. CHEAT MODE in full swing.

[El Rojo]

Thought Inter played beyond any reasonable expectations, given the gulf in resources. They probably had more clear cut chances but lacked the quality to finish. 
 

Lukaku starting and Dzeko finishing might have been a better approach. Dzeko playing the whole game would have been even better. 
 

As for City finally winning, I really couldn’t give a flying one. It doesn’t count. My reaction to their city neighbours winning it would be massively different.

 

[Lurtz]

Right come on. Let's get these cheating investigations full steam ahead please. UEFA, FA, PL, this lot of cheating, thieving cunts are laughing at you. 

[A_S]

So if they are found guilty of the 115 charges, would that retrospectively void their CL qualification and by extension, this 'win'? 

 

Cunts.

Me to . Nothing we could do about tonight, 

[Section_31]

It's funny that the media can coo over them given that they're currently under investigation, not a peep.

 

But then look at the politicians we elect.

 

There's a reason the oil states buy British teams, it's the same reason Russians launder their money through London. We're open for business, we always are.

You don’t give a shit about City winning the CL and making a treble that we never have?

 

I am very fucking far from being ok with this.

[Creator Supreme]

Feels like stubbing your toe. Painful but it won't bother you by the next day.

 

Glad for my City supporting uncle, he's supported them since before they were really shit and all the way back again. Got to be honest though, even he's quite apathetic about the game these days. He'll be happy to have seen them win a champions league but otherwise he's not that arsed any more.

[ZonkoVille77]

I didn't even bother watching it. 

 

I'm hanging on to the smallest bit of hope that the authorities will have finally had enough and do something about it, but I won't hold my breath. 

 

There's not a single one of their players that I even have a smidgen of happiness for. Soulless club, mercenary players and a walking basket-case of a manager. Fuck them.

[Pete]

Same amount of European cups as Villa. One less than Forest.  Fuck ‘em.

[TheHowieLama]

Apparently someone wrote another check to Thierry Henry during the commercial break.

[Gnasher]

I don't know why this is reminding me of the time I watched people celebrating Ben Johnson winning the Olympic 100 meters.

[Special K]

Amazing that City were only in the competition due to a legal technicality

They're cheats. Everybody in football knows it. I'm more pissed off that the game I love is nothing but a board game now.

PL thing will lead to sod all.

 

I wish it would but can't see it.

 

PL is all about 'the brand' and it is bad for brand if there is that sort of scandal.

 

Same with the Everton sruff - PL have facilitated cheating because they don't want the model to be seen as failing.

 

The charges against city are all IMO lip service - they get off, then league can say they looked at it...and things carry on and game just gets further violated by corruption and greed and sportswashing.
