    Not a big follower of kickaball, but did Leicester not actually win a trophy this year.

    They just lost out on a Champions League spot. Soooo close though :)

    No, Chelsea played the better football. City looked out of ideas and Chelsea defended brilliantly. I think the height differences were apparent.
    Kyle Walkers long throws, free kicks and repeated corners found little purchase.
    I was a little surprised at City's performance. Jesus gave them a bit of zip but Aguero never got a real look in.
    De Bruyne wasn't missed much after he came off. He was lack lustre and lacked creativity - against a well drilled (Teutonic like) defence to be fair but still below par for him.
    Sterling was outwitted all game.

    Fair enough :smile: . I was thinking more about the footy trolls (of which you aren't one)

    Pleased for you Stevo as the best team won on the night.

    Pity UEFA have short memories as their greed has soon surfaced again, Up to £400 for a ticket? No wonder chelski returned 800 final tickets. Got to be a first there;-) UEFA wanting to secure quarantine exemptions they needed for media, sponsors and guests to be able to fly into the UK capital for a Wembley final.

    Mind you at least your owner could get a visa to enter Portugal, he might have struggled to get into the UK as he’s a known fluffer for Putin.

    Welcome back to the Premier League starting this evening. Strange they chose to have a relegation 6-pointer as the opening match :p

    Well, we need to get to rock bottom and then maybe the silly current owners will give up and accept the Ek proposition.

    Maybe turn your annual target into 4th from bottom?

    ffs one win out of 5.

    The old football chant, couldn’t score in a brothel, comes to mind.

    Wolves have belatedly found their natural level near the bottom of the table ;)

    Well that was a nice 3 points. At least Spurs can concentrate on the Europa Conference this year to give them their jollies.

    West Ham messed up what could have been a nice evening.
