I'm not a religious person at all but if there's a football god then Liverpool or Roma have to win this. I don't accept that Real will sneak their way through to their 3rd win in a row.

 

3rd in a row and Zidane is on the hot seat lol

 

Jupp Heynckes was sacked after he won the first CL title with Real after more than 30 years...

 

it’s kinda hilarious that Ronaldo’s lame Messi imitation celebration got him the yellow that led to his second yellow 90 seconds later in the supercopa effectively ended madrid’s title defense before the season was even begun

 

If there's a god it'll be a Real / Roma final

 

I'd really like to see Liverpool power through now. I'm not confident they will though. This whole thing with Klopp's assistant sounds messy and unfortunately timed. We've already seen that Roma pack a sucker punch too. Liverpool are going to have to get it spot on tonight to knock them out.

 

Can’t see Liverpool not scoring tonight with how poor Roma defender at Anfield. Not sure Roma will get 4.

 

Pretty much this. How many times have Liverpool blanked this season with their strongest 11 playing? I hope as much as the next guy that Roma can pump them, but their chances are fairly slim.

 

Is @Paulie forcing his children to do a World Cup sweepstake for our entertainment this year?

 

Sky lost the bidding war for La Liga so there goes the best illegal streams.

 

There's the LFC away goal!

Bring on Real Madrid.

 

Ferdinand: "Anywhere else on the pitch, that's a penalty." I think you're wrong, Rio....

 

Roma should have gotten 2 penalties by now

 

Probably still wouldn't have been enough but it's a shame the refs prevented this from at least getting interesting

 

good result

 

Lmao, I just assumed it finished 2-2 last night but it was 4-2 to Roma?! So I've got to disagree that it's a good result considering Liverpool were 5 goals clear of Roma at one point and it ended up 7-6 overall! The job was done though so credit to them - not as sure as I was that they will win it now.

Chelsea need to stump up whatever it takes for Nainggolan in the summer though. Exactly what they need, and to let a PL rival get him needs to be viewed as unacceptable by whatever lemon deals with their transfers these days.

 

Read Nainggolan was off to China

 

Would be a damn shame but he'd be a megastar in that league. I read myself yesterday that he isn't interested in moving to England because Liverpool was so shit when he was there for the semi final the other day lmao. Yet another example of Liverpool ruining it for the rest of us!

 

Liverpool is good and if its bad its the tories' fault

 

No it's ur fault...

Lol, I think it was mainly the weather that he hated, and the fact he loves Rome rather than the city of Liverpool sucking. Liverpool fans suck tho.

 

Tbf I’m sure Rome is much nicer than Liverpool so it prob was a culture shock.

 

I’d never leave Rome from a “city to live in” standpoint ngl

 

A new installment in my long running series of "posts that won't age well":

I am cautiously optimistic about tonight.

 

Talking of posts that aged badly....
