Everytime 2 english teams play in a final, the game is atrociously bad.
Thank God that doesn't happen too often.

I have to admit I was scared at first, as I thought you would really press us and use the pace of Sterling to beat our weaker side with Azpi. Which you did, but Sterling couldn't handle Reece and your players got tired quickly whilst we more or less sat back waiting to strike on the counter.Cheers brother not sure why that line up was starting but out played and and thought on the night enjoy
I really didn't get no Dinho in the team, you could see the difference he made when he came on and if he had started over Bernardo I think the game could've been very different.
It was a great final imo, the atmosphere was surprisingly good and it was amazing from a tactical perspective (which I adore), so although the neutrals may not have enjoyed it, I thought it was end to end for the first 45 and a masterclass of defending from Chelsea in the second half.
Can't wait to battle it out for the title next season

I think that's probably you just being a fan, from an outsider point of view the final was of really poor quality. Even the atmosphere was really mild for a final too, but with so few people attending the stadium it's kind of normal.
At the end the only thing that is going to be remembered is the result, so congratulations on your second Champions League.

What the hell are you on about, the final was a decent game with plenty of chances (mainly Chelsea), and the Chelsea fans were loud and passionate the entire game.

I knew Chelsea had this in the bag from like the kick off. Pep bottled yet again, made changes yet again. Chelsea meanwhile had a positive track record against City, they had them figured out. They got no doubt inside Pep's head. And again Chelsea were actually the better team in a direct confrontation.
While you can only field 11 players, I think City should be better. They have a solid defense and lots of players who can create chances, score and of individual skill. There is just something going on with Guardiola, who's panic decisions and obsessive antics don't work out well when it counts. Its not the first time his team starts to suck when Spring hits. City also lost the cup final, and they lost some other games since.

Not a Chelsea or Man City fan (Bluenose here), but I thought that was a damn good game.
What the fuck was Pep thinking with those tactics? The Champions League final isn't the time to switch things up. At times, Man City looked like Sam Alladyce was in charge with their long ball game.
Thought James was outstanding. Certainly some thoughts for Southgate in terms of the England RB position for the Euros.
Kante was man of the match. What a player.

Yeh, I remember being so mad that Chelsea got him, and for only £32 million. What a fucking bargain.

Man City could of course do a Liverpool and go on to win it next season, but to do this they need to make some key buys.
First, the obvious is an all out striker. Harry Kane clearly wants to leave Spurs, so this should be their number one priority target.
Not sure if Fernandinho is going to stay another season, but if he doesn't then I'd be looking for another CDM. Kante isn't leaving Chelsea, so I'd be looking at Declan Rice as a replacement.
Fernandinho Should come and play for Birmingham as well. He'd be a club legend and could be the key in us escaping another relegation battle.

I sometimes think, every so often, Guardiola tries to be a bit too clever and changes too much, and sets his team out so differently that they slip up. It has happened in previous years in the odd game, but particularly in some previous Champions League Semi Finals. With getting to the final, I thought they had got over that mental hurdle and learnt from previous mistakes, seems not. Also, he doesn't have Messi.

I think he feel that everyone know his style so he try to surprise the opponent to throw them off. The problem is his changes harm his team more than surprise the opponent. One day he will learn and just go with what is expected from his team.
Welcome to The Football Thread
Do you support Chelsea? if so congrats, but if not then who do you support?
At this point I wouldn't say Ramos live rent free in some Liverpool fans minds, he actually charge them to live there
Good luck in the Super League.
How do you see Manchester United chances next year?
UCL? BPL? FA cup?

Very optimistic but rivals are strong as well. I would take an EPL or UCL as a true success. FA Cup alone would be disappointing.

It was the English PL until some Welsh clubs joined the league
then it became the British PL because well the Welsh are not English

Sancho seems to be 70M now or 80M, not sure. 150M for 1 one or 2 great, impactful players is better than 4-6 fillers.

I was just joking. From the looks of it yes Sancho price is reduced but this is Ed we are talking about so I will not be surprised if he over pays yet again on his way out.
In terms of players I felt Manchester United needed 3 players though?

And this bring me back to my original joke, Manchester United is likely to go after players who have big English media attention and those usually cost more than 60M each so 150M will not be enough to buy three.
Unless Manchester United do proper scouting and find good talent without the media fanfare and get 3 worthy players, but knowing them I don't expect that to happen.

I think they have Rúben Neves from Wolverhampton under their radar and he's priced at 35M. So that's a good start.
Manchester United could sign Ruben Neves for a bargain £35million
Manchester United could potentially land Wolverhampton Wanderers star Ruben Neves for around £35million. The 24-year-old is a good player.

Do you really believe that Wolves will not try to fleece you?
Maybe they will not be able to get 60M out of you (or maybe they will with Ed) but I don't think you will get him for 35M flat

Even 60M is a good deal, but seems related to the player wanna leave after Nuno's departure + contract left?

I understand that but if it is 60M that leave Manchester United with 90M for two more players and they need to be good.

We're selling Lingard, Matic, and even Pogba might leave. It'll be interesting.

If you sell Pogba now you will get less than what you payed for him.
I don't know how much you would get for Lingard and Matic to be honest but I think it will be low.

United don't wanna sell him, he seems to refuse to renew so far. 70M out of him will be the max. Keeping him is better of course and selling Van De Beek.

But VDB is more willing to commit on the pitch than Pogba, yes Pogba is more talented but if he is not in the mood he will let the team sink in any given matchup.
