I don't know that Liverpool & Man Utd's mutual loathing was much of a thing in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Not amongst my mates, anyway. I suppose Everton fans would have felt differently, but I didn't know any. Like you, I happily rooted for the English clubs, and I still do actually. But I don't even get the Palace/Brighton antipathy, so I may not be typical.
As for last night, I managed to miss the first half but thought Madrid were the better side in the second half. They certainly kept the ball better and defended absolutely brilliantly. Courtois' save from Salah was great but beyond that I didn't think he had to do anything exceptional. And, as others have said, nil goals from three finals may tell us something about Liverpool. I'd suggest that's more down to a lack of creativity in centre midfield than the quality of their forwards now that Firmino isn't a regular starter.

Interesting that the greatest right back in the history of football was at fault for the goal by not picking up his man last night. He can't defend and that is why he won't be in the England side in a tournament.

I think this season finally ends on June 5th with the Conference Play Off Final and you could maybe include the Ukraine v Wales play off on the same date. Then next season’s fixtures are released on June 16th.
It was interesting yesterday (admittedly not very interesting but that’s the best phraseology our great language allows for
) that the Port Vale players all put on “We are going up” T-Shirts after the play off final. I remember when Roger Federer won his 17th Grand Slam and produced a shirt to mark the occasion he was accused of supreme arrogance for having that ready assuming he was going to win.

I just love the way he did it

Apparently BT Sport were inundated with complaints about the camera angle.

Not quite as easy to just put the blame on an unruly mob these days

Liverpool fans, UEFA, and the French police are all entities that never accept responsibility for anything.
But in real news Home Park are replacing all seats, relaying the pitch and nearly 7,000 season tickets sold.

Says a lot about the seeding system that the best thing that can happen to a CL tournament is that it somehow fails.

There’s drastic, and not entirely logical, changes coming to the CL in a couple of years.
And Solihull Moors are one match from the EFL. It’ll be interesting (that word again) to see how many fans they take to West Ham for the final as they don’t appear to have any.

Poor old Ralf leaving Manure completely is slightly less surprising.
I went there a couple of years back, was a terrible game but quite enjoyed the ground. It felt so far from League Two though.

What's the point of Jon Moss, why give a ref that hasn't been fit enough for about 5 years, such an important match as his finale, was never going to give a decision, and stockley Park was never going to overrule him.
