And I've got a plastic Scouser from Leeds having a pop at me on FB because I said how well City had played last night and Chelski tonight. Jealous bastard 🤣🤣🤣 Like them or not there is no argument that both citeh and Chelsea have been excellent in both legs.

Kante just made Hogg look as mobile as Lee Makel.

Pleased its an all English final, but once again the premier club competition in Europe is being contested by not one but two teams who weren`t even champions, yes i know that boat sailed ages ago.

I also agree, but there is one thing in Rotherham's favour. Cardiff are on the beach, whereas WRDCFC and Wendies should both be fighting like hell and could cancel each other out. My dream results... Derby 0 Wendy 0 Cardiff 0 Rotherham 1 (and Weds miss a last minute penalty) but who would miss the Penalty?, Rhodes ?, surely it would break him totally, before he finds his new club . it would be quite funny though if he became our regular penalty taker, and kept knocking them in. Score penalties for Huddersfield Town? Nah... it will never catch on!

Surely Cardiff were on the beach for the last outing too...whilst winning 4-0 !? Of Derby, Wed, Cardiff and Rotherham, there is one team more likely to win than the other three. And its none of the teams that need a win! Actually - surely you'd prefer Derby to miss the last minute penalty!? If Rotherham are winning, then Wednesday are down whether they score or miss the penalty...whereas if Rotherham are winning, Derby get the penalty whilst drawing knowing if they win they stay up...miss then both Derby and Wednesday go down. Well... all I can say is that Cardiff were playing another team already on the beach. When they played the Wendies a couple of weeks ago they got stuffed. Apart from that I agree to the penalty switch, just a shame Forestieri or Knockaert won't be taking it 🤣 Be funny if Rooney brought himself on, then took responsibility for the penalty....and hoofed it into the stands....

It's no longer got anything to do with being champions of your own domestic league despite many people still being confused about that. Yes, we call it the Champions League but it's actually the UEFA Champions League i.e. the winner becomes the UEFA Champion from all the teams that have qualified and taken part. Maybe they should have changed the trophy to make it less confusing.

International tournaments are as much a league as the Champions League is (arguably more so with the qualification), but we don't hold the "FIFA World League" every four years.

But the “UEFA Good Teams League Then Knockout Hybrid” is hard to promote. And the anthem would be a bitch to sing along to. Has anyone thought of rebranding it as the European Superleague?

Score penalties for Huddersfield Town? Nah... it will never catch on! Didn't Rhodes have a bad record at penalties with town? It always seemed bizarre to me that a player with such a prolific scoring record was always frightened to take a spot kick. He wasn't even among the chosen five at Wembley, although crucially he did manage to score with number six.

Boothy was rarely if ever the first-choice penalty taker either with us (both spells) or Wendies.

Suggestions that talks are being held to relocate the CL final to the UK? Due to Turkey being on the red list for travel. Presumably they'll be compensating the Turkish FA if that happens?
Practically it makes good sense in the current circumstances, few people will have booked flights etc., but is it worth it for the small number of fans that will be allowed to attend in person? Unless of course the Govt are planning to release the shackles and get a few more thousand in? (double standards would be brought into Q)

Someone might correct me here but I can't honestly remember him ever missing one.

Yes, not that we would ever win 15 penalties but that's exactly the basis of my original point. I do remember a furious Clyde Wijnhard trying to snatch the ball away from Marcus at Wolverhampton (sorry, not sure how to spell "molly knew"). Molineaux?

LOL Molineux I’ve been several times and apart from the fact it’s one of Town's happiest hunting grounds I’ve seen a few strange goings on there, on and off the pitch. Anyone else remember when we had Mark Ward on loan for a short spell, 1996 ? He got involved with a fist throwing fight with his team mate Tom Cowan. Still not only was that Ward a scouser but at the end of his career he got involved in cocaine trafficking - when the police collared him, his employers made it clear it was in both his and his family’s best interests to say nothing, consequently the police and courts came down hard on him and he got 8 years. It seems it’s not just a recent phenomenon for our recruitment team to pick ‘em.

My main memory of wolves is in a ramshackle terrace behind the goals on the final day when they got relegated in the 80s.it was like a morgue. I did go in the 90s but I remember the punch up clear as day but can't recall being in that terrace ever at wolves .. bit I must have been .. cheers. Mark Ward was a legend at West ham but obviously a bit of a wrong un

I wouldn't put money on it though 100%, happily ilson remembers it as well, his time in prison with death threats over him and his family to ensure his silence, was something he spoke about personally in an hour long interview on the radio some years back, he wasn’t saying pity me, he was admitting he had been a first class dick and the people he got involved with were scumbags, although of course had he not been caught he would have been happy to keep taking their money while peddling their misery. There’s been a few other on pitch rows I’ve seen, Clyde and Stewie as mentioned earlier is one, the most selfless act at the opposite end of the scale was Peter Clark turning down a penalty for a hat trick to give Theo a much needed goal at home to Wycombe.

Stewart scored and we won one nil. Bought a chicken balti pie at half time, hotter than the sun, couldn't eat it till injury time.
