All I’m saying is is that if you lose the shot count 24- 4 and lose the shots on target 9-1 you will win very very few games and in my opinion that’s luck, but fair play to Madrid they’ve certainly had their name written on this cup this season, almost enjoyed tonight’s game as much as Wrexham v Grimsby earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 RM deserved it I thought. Defended for their lives and keeper had a blinder. Liverpool ran out of steam around about the time they beat Villarreal away earlier this month.

Red Army 75 Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) I would of liked to seen the likes of Real Madrid and Liverpool banned from European competition for a couple of years. After trying to ruin football for the sake of their own selfishness. It seems to be forgotten about in the media . But it really pissed me off. Pretty sure Real Madrid are still signed up to it.

Yes, it's amazing what a good dose of self-pity and a chip on both shoulders can do for the atmosphere amongst one's supporters. Plus the odd League title. Or two. And a European title. Or two. In contrast, we Bristolians do not do self pity, more like meh, shrug shoulders, whatever. As for titles, I'm not sure the JPT comes into it. Which means we have precious little to make an atmosphere about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 I don't much like Real Madrid as a club, as I said last week but Courtois was very good. Don't mind a range of the managers too- Ancelotti especially seems a good guy. Liverpool did (I missed 1st half hour) all they could- all they could but score. That said thought Real Madrid did show more on the break 2nd half and some of their possession play and in tight areas at times was excellent even if only in fits and starts- aging side vs an excellent Liverpool. Name was on the cup in a sense- rode their luck vs a range of sides but came up with some moments or periods of excellence, though not of the level of the sides they beat in the knockouts, Inter in the group stage caused them a lot of problems home and away- which shows it was a tough run too.

Get to home games once in a blue moon because I still play. Make the occasional away games because we rarely sell out. if we suddenly became world beaters in the next 5 years I’d probably be considered a plastic Not quite the same, tbh not at all. Assuming you are from Bristol or the surrounding area- not that it is a bar to support of course- moving away quite far but still making games is frankly fairly admirable- especially with playing football too. A world of difference between that and "supporting" a side because a) They win a lot and b) One sees them on TV often. Further, there are shades of grey- family ties etc- but I am quite sure a lot of the plastics fall into the category of the 2nd line.
