Hey nine, yes all moaning aside I want City to win everything we enter and I’m very happy we’ve got to the final, and I’m glad Chelsea got there too, congrats. Hope we get a great game, incident free, and may the best team win 😉

More good points SteveO – yeah the Real fans weren’t best pleased with Hazard were they 🤣
I suppose all the EPL players could vote for Bale just to annoy the Real fans even more 😂😂😂

Good point nine. I suppose most players watch other players mainly on the TV just like we do though – its not like Salah battles it out against Dias every week is it? It’ll be interesting to see what the votes are though, I bet there’s always a bit of politics in it – can’t see Liverpool players voting for Utd players, or Spurs boys voting for an Arsenal player 🙂 Are the votes public, can you see who each player votes for anywhere?

Hey nine, I was only joking about the booing. Yes Pep had asked we stop booing and I was one that did stop at that point – I won’t get into why we boo but it was due to a number of instances where UEFA made it quite clear we were not wanted in this competition, FFP was just another stick to beat us with.

With regards the ‘money over the fans’ comment I would’ve thought it was pretty self explanatory; UEFA has given 2000 tickets to its sponsors/VIP’s, etc. exactly as you say – these are effectively wealthy people or people in charge of the wealth. The UK government said it would relax quarantine rules for any of the 2000 UEFA attendees who were classed as ‘essential’; this obviously wasn’t good enough for UEFA as they couldn’t possibly expect wealthy VIP’s and corporate ticket holders to have to wait around – better to reduce the amount of actual fans able to attend the game, and to make the few that can attend do a 3000 mile round trip in 24 hours. Does that hang together better for ya 😉

Bad decision by UEFA which throws fans under the bus again, and it comes just weeks after fans saved the competition for them. I understand the problems of holding matches anywhere in Europe at present but it’s simple numbers, you either make under 2000 none-essential UEFA VIP’s and corporate attendees undergo testing and quarantine, or you make 12,000 fans fly to and from another country in 1 day during a pandemic. They’ve also set what they themselves have called the ‘biggest game in club football’ in a stadium with 50,000 capacity; if it was held at Wembley we could have 25% capacity under current UK Covid restrictions meaning 22,000 could attend. UEFA looking after the money not the fans…again. Get ready to boo the anthem everyone 😂

Hey Sean, I think Salah has suffered in ratings just because Liverpool have dropped off so muxh this year compared to last, but you’re right he’s still up there in terms of goals. Good shout with Saint-Maximan but he’s missed most of the season, pity but Newcastle should be a lot better next season with him fit from the off.

Plenty of good shouts though, Bissouma, Watkins, and Bamford (good shout Nike). I think the question is still which one stood out above the rest? For me it’s Dias, integral part of the seasons beat team, he’s got 2 trophies in the bag and a chance of a 3rd.

Agree with that list although I maybe would’ve added Tomas Soucek and Calvert-Lewin (both been excellent for West Ham and Everton respectively). Its been an odd season, there’s been a number of players who have made a real difference to their sides but none has stood out above the others by a hugely obvious amount. I would go for Dias since he’s been class for the winners all season, but I’m a blue so I’m biased 😉

Young Player I’d give to Foden but I wouldn’t disagree if it was Mount. Big shouts to Saka, Tierney, Rice and especially Foffana at Leicester who has been class whenever I’ve seen him play. Technically I think Dias also qualifies for the young player category…both to him 😉

Cheers for all the congrats.  Champions again 🙌🏻, very pleased obviously.

On the Ole team selection issue, surely there can’t be any complaints with that fixture schedule.  Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday is frankly asking for injuries and giving Ole no choice.

It’s looking like nobody wants top 4 🤔.  Whoever can put a little run together will take it but time is running out.

Excellent result City, tactics spot on from Pep and perfectly executed by the players.  Very impressed with the two changes from the first leg – Fernandinho and Zinchenko were class tonight, as was everyone else.  So badly wanted Foden to score but he’s got plenty of time.  PSG were a disgrace again, diving at one end, awful tackles at the other; the worst side in terms of attitude I’ve ever seen, Sunday League sides would be ashamed of that.  Looking forward to the final.  Best of luck Chelsea tomorrow night.

Ahhh, didn’t think of that Pagan.  So VAR can’t deal with yellow card offences?  Agree that needs changing specifically for diving.  For me that’s the only thing VAR should be involved in – I’d even accept it as a retrospective review and punishment the day after the game, where players get yellow cards in the post 😉  It would make the refs lives a lot easier in the long run as you’d expect diving to diminish once players start accumulating bookings and bans.

And I agree with the Sterling joke, he goes down way too easy.  Really glad to see Foden showing a lot of players how dishonest they are.

I don’t understand why VAR isn’t dealing with diving?  I haven’t seen a single card given out fit diving by VAR.

Chucky, I applaud your persistence, over several days now, in trying to turn this thread into a discussion about Gareth Bale 😂🤣😂

It’s a shame we’ve not seen more of Bale this season. Will he stay do you think?
