Magic Lamps

those UEFALONA women look so much bigger and stronger than ours. And we know Barcelona has a long doping history...

I think there is no protocol for it. The team can opt for the kid they prefer, we are only obliged to wear the new one next season. In 2012 we allegedly decided to play the final in the old ones out of the same superstition.

thankfully we went back to the old kits for Munich in 2012 despite having deputed the new ones a game before. Back then i felt that decision saved the day for us

Tbf this is not so much of a choke job but they are just inferior. defence and midfield are getting completely overrun.

leupolz having a shocker tho

apparently womens footy is just as crooked. never a pen

harder should have equalised there

Dude, I wish i were still as trustful as you but the world is a cruel cruel place. If the last 2 seasons (Cuntony Taylor final, yesterday, dozen liverpool games, 40 pens for ManUre in 2 years, City vs Dortmund) do not convince you that the whole circus is corrupted, nothing will.

Barcelona is coming off a crazy season. 25 of 25 games won 127:5 goals. I dont know anything about women's la liga, but i hope its shit^^

tbf shots in the bottom corner usually beat him as well. Arsenal 2018, Arsenal 2020, brighton 2020...

thank fuck we reverse jinxed that I'd say 😂

Atletico are the hardest chokers in european football.

It does not make difference tho. 5th place is just as bad as 10th place., no one gives a shit about EL. Losing FA Cup in the final is worse than going out in 3rd round. If we fail to secure CL football for next season, this season has been a complete waste.

The bookies made us favourites. Probably by too large a margin tho. Leicester clearly have a better midfield and their attackers score more. Our defence might be slightly better in individual quality but they know how to defend. Esp Fofana would walk straight into our first XI TT weakened us unnecessarily by playing Alonso and Kepa as well.

RJ can make any mistake he wants, Alonso and Jorginho are still terrible players and deserve to be called out at every opportunity. RJ is still young and developing. Everyone can see he will be class. Jorginho and Alonso have been shit their entire careers and deserve to play for this club.

tbf the last 2 games were exactly like the average game under Lampard. Control or not we would always create a fair few chances and miss most of them just like at the moment. It seems the team just shows their true colours after some time under any manager. We have to cut out the deadwood that is holding us back. Lampard at least understood that Alonso, kepa, jorginho are pants and need to be sold. Now TT still trusts them and lost us the final with this stupid judgement.

Yes Lampard takes a bigger share of the blame if we fail to get top 4 than TT but the collapse today and Arsenal is still on TT. He trusted the wrong players and got his selection wrong. Lamps got us in a terrible position in the league at it took TT capturing the 3rd most points of of any team in the league since his arrival to get back into top4. I dont blame him much if we fail to get top 4 if he does not botch the lineups again. this crop of players is just mentally weak. We brought the wrong players in summer to remedy that anyhow. But Lampard has nothing to do with what happened today. This was (apart from the refs obv) purely on TT and the shit players he selected. He still has not learned which is worrisome. Imagine he gets the idea to start jorginho, alonso or ziyech in the CL final

N'didi is 1,81. fofana, evans and soyüncu are all around 6'2 but alonso is no good in aerial defence either so why bother

lol with Mike Dean I am not sure if he is just corrupted or if he has a weird understanding of justice. For example he always celebrated when he lets run an advantage correctly and is super annoyed when the advantage is wasted and he has to run the other way. He usually then punishes the team who wasted the advantage in his next decision. Also I think he was the one who wrongfully allowed 2 offside goals for ManUre once. In our game vs Manure under scolari healso whistled for half time just as we were to execute a fk from the edge of the box and also interrupted several conter attacks from us. so he is super dodgy for sure.

well if it makes you laugh at least one of us can be in a good mood after this

Picked for his height and experience my ass.His experience of constantly being run past. The height argument is just as clueless as when Mourinho kept selecting poor old Iva. Not that his height is of any use. He still lost every aerial duel and leicester had one free header after another on their fks. He is like the 2m 65kg kid in my old basketball team who i always liked to dunk on. slow ass anit-athlete, all skin and bones no leap and no strength.

It doesnt matter. the dippers are the danger not the spammers.

Big Ed must have thought the same thing as we all did. Why? Just why? Ed is capable of the sublime as demonstrated today. Kepa is not. So why risk it? Even if Kepa does not have his usual howlers anymore,he still is not a great. Kepa never was a good shot stopper so why risk it vs one of the better distance shooters in the league.

It is really sad but just as I said, once we saw the lineup everybody probably got this sense of inevitability that we were about to lose. Everybody but Tuchel. this is what worries me.

called it. TT threw away the final with his stupid selection. NOt that Kepa was particularly at fault but in finals you need a keeper who is capable of the extraordinary and we already knew before that Kepa is not. So why even bother. Well done Cup GK.
