The money they are spending is absolutely obscene. But I must admit, it’s spectacular viewing watching EPL fans cry about it when the exact same thing has been happening here for years. Absolute nothing clubs like Bournemouth having the capacity to outbid the likes of AC Milan for players...

So much bitterness in here :lol: It’s two decent teams in a European final. Not forgetting the fact that a win here gets one of these sides Champions League football that they otherwise can’t get through their leagues. It’s obviously going to be cagey. The people calling it boring are probably...

I’m very much looking forward to Steve McManaman’s insight throughout the evening.

I certainly wouldn’t be writing Inter off. They have battle hardened players that always turn up in the big games, and a very good coach. They are more than a match for whoever comes through this game.

His chip at Highbury is still one of the best goals I’ve ever seen. The first time pass from Scholes and the audacity from O’Shea to chip it. Absolute class.

The commentary is absolutely shameful. There is bias and then there’s this.

Why do teams from the best ever league in the world keep getting knocked out of Europe from teams in farmers’ leagues? Best team in England knocked out by the 4th best team in Portugal. Strange one.

I think their celebrations are a combination of genuine delight and a display of their culture, and a delayed response to the people who have been slaughtering Vinicius Junior for his goal celebrations for months on end.

Yes, both of these things are true. Any full back in a progressive team now plays as a traditional left or right sided midfielder. At the elite level, Tierney is limited and has a few flaws to his game. This, in addition to his hips and knees being made of chocolate, would make him an average...

Filip Kostic, Mario Rui, Aihen Munoz, Federico Di Marco, Kieran Tierney, Adum Marusic, Juan Bernat, Vincenzo Grifo, David Raum, Jose Gaya etc.

I’ve been browsing this forum for ten years. Its an amazing source for information, Man Utd or not, football or not, for me one of the most informative places on the internet. I had to send a password reset to my email based on that comment. Shaw capable of being one of the best left backs in...

Artur Boruc v Man Utd in 2006. Man Utd won 3-2 in the first group game of the Champions League. Hesselink and Nakamura scored for Celtic and a Saha double and a Solksjaer winner was enough for Man Utd. Paul Telfer came on as a sub for Celtic and diverted a header towards his own goal, Boruc...

You could make a full league out of players with the names Sissoko, Mendy, and Dembele.

He looked a shadow of his former self last night. In terms of one on one dribbling, how agile he was and holding that low centre of gravity, he was one of the best no doubt. I know he’s struggled with injuries but it surprised me how far off the pace he looked.

Andrea Barzagli - Absolutely no one mentions him but for me he’s right up there with the best in many years. Exceptional reader of the game, so calm and composed. Amazing timing in the challenge, comfortable on the ball. Won countless Serie A titles, the Bundesliga, the World Cup, but gets...
