FYI, BT are offering the final free to all non subscribers tonight.

If you can ignore Michael Owen and the half time anal then its fine.

4 minutes in, dying moments of the 3rd division play-off final against Swansea.

20 years ago, bloody hell, first Wembley visit for me.

As a Man United fan, happy days. Talk about qualifying for the CL the hard way.

 

[Scouse]

What's this from the beeb?

It means United are now the fifth team to claim the full quota of European trophies, joining an illustrious list with Ajax, Chelsea, Juventus and Bayern Munich.

European Cup / Champion's league.
Uefa Cup
European Super Cup

.....?? What else is there? 'cause Liverpool should be on that list?

 

[Raven]

lol

I don't think they count pre-war cups.

 

[Scouse]

lol

Just wondering what we (and Barca and Madrid) haven't won



Chelski??! - they're only just a club!

 

[Raven]

Anyway.

UEFA club competition records and statistics - Wikipedia

Even Everton have won it

UEFA Cup Winners' Cup - Wikipedia

Isnt there a world one equiv to the euro supercup?

 

[Scouse]

Anyway.

Ah. OK. It's discontinued. I thought the Cup Winners Cup became the Super Cup, but apparently not.

Who knew

Edit - but Barcelona have won 'em both - so have they never won the Europa League or equivalent? :\

[Scouse]

[Raven]

Yeah, its the cup winners cup. Its not a thing any more and Barca never won it, never will (unless they resurrect it)

 

[Scouse]

Four times (the most) apparently.

 

[Raven]

Sorry, meant Real. They are pretty interchangeable.

Commentators have no idea. Looks like a celebration with the fans.

 

[Raven]

Looks like the last player to stop a Bendtner shot receiving his prize.

Thats a shit way to cuss someone who is handicapped tbh.

Copenhagen won the league a couple of weeks ago and the day before yesterday we secured the double by also winning the domestic cup, beating our biggest rivals Brøndby in the final.

The guy in the wheelchair is part of a very dedicated stand, where all of the Copenhagen ultras and most hardcore fans have their season tickets. It is basically 90 minutes of waving flags, singing and jumping with a capo coordinating the lot. I don't know why this guy in particular was given the trophy as there are several other wheelchair users in line next to him.

PS. Fuck Brøndby. Back to back Duble and hattrick winning the cup. Forever in our shadows

We've covered this before.

Danny Rose: Tottenham need Champions League 'marquee signing'

All Spurs need is a new tent, apparently.

They'll probably have more success playing there than they will at Wembley to be fair.

Only just a club that have won more than anyone else in the country for 15 years.

Guess that's because we don't let things slip.

True. But you're not a proper club like United or Arsenal or even lulzerpool who were winning things long before russian oligarchs could sugar-daddy you to trophies.

Nah. Chelski is more like City. The slightly chavvy nouveaux-riche

We won things before Roman.. some of the players we had before him were fantastic. Squad like the 1999 squad, fantastic to watch & a fa cup as well!

No point talking about history in modern football, Arsenal & Liverpool are falling behind!
