The Champions League Final Thread

[therockbox]

I've been a bag of nerves since lunch time, when I gave in and actually started watching some of the build-up on Sky Sports.

Most reporters seem convinced we're going with a 4-5-1, with Kuyt up front and Gerrard supporting. I'd rather Crouch starts, I think he's better than Kuyt as a lone striker. Still, if it's true then Pennant will definately start, which is awesome.

Aye, the nerves have started with me too, but it's gonna be a blinder without doubt. My uncle has promised me he won't leave th e stadium at half time this time if things are going a bit wrong.

[therockbox]

I know that the allocation for both sides was only a ridiculous 17,000 each, but even now it's looking like the stadium's going to be at least half full with Liverpool fans.

[fourstarfizzle]

We're playing in Red tonight, and apparantly tickets are selling outside now for about 5000 euros per ticket, it's insane.

I missed Istanbul due to my Graduation...but I'm hoping to get to see the match this time around (though I have to go back to college tonight for an exam tomorrow). Nerves all round then?

I just wish it would hurry up and start. I'll be supporting Milan tonight. Gattuso = Rangers. And besides, you beat them last time, stop being so greedy.

I also just think Milan have the better team. But I'll find out tonight if I'm right or wrong. I hope we avoid any bullshit *cough*FA Cup Final*cough* and get a clear winner, even if it means going down to penalties again.

[therockbox]

Much worse than I was in 2005, because there's more expectation this time.

I want Robbie to score the winner in the last minute, that would be the ideal scenario for me. I'd probably cry

[therockbox]

Reina

Finnan

Carragher

Agger

Looking forward to the match. Seedorf, Zenden and Kuijt, Holland representing

Well, America doesn't have any respect. It's on ESPN2, meanwhile ESPN proper got a bunch of stock crap and afternoon talk shows. Yawn.

Go Liverpool

What, you want a chat room? Mine is empty if y'all want to use that.

Gray: "Gattuso didn't need to go into that tackle like that"

*replay*

"See, it wasn't even a tackle, it was just a coming together of two players."

Does Gray even think about what he says?

I hate Andy Gray. His commentary irks me. Thats what ITV is for (Y) either way, surprised to see Liverpool doing so well so far.

[IAceI]

That's a finishers finish ¬_¬

[therockbox]

Jammy cunts.

[The Kraig]

Yeah, I sometimes worry about Andy. It's like he's too busy playing with his screen pens.

And that Milan goal was handball.

[Matt]

Well boo-urns. Liverpool were 10 times the team in that half, but from the second that free kick was given, I could see it going in. Especially seeing as Andy Gray had just said "Pirlo hasn't scored as many as he'd like this year".

[ZJ Penn]

Hahahahahaha.

Any Liverpool fans wearing a cup? Because that was one hell of a kick in the nuts.
