Chelsea v Arsenal......lots of criticism of the final being held in Baku, too far, too expensive.
Anyway at least an English club is guaranteed to win it.

2 English teams 1 English starter in a game 6000 miles away kicking off after 11pm local time in a stadium where the fans who must have paid 1,000s to get there need binoculars to see the pitch.
The global game?............. f@%k that!

At least the TV picture is panoramic !!!! Camera position is that high up can virtually see every player at all times.
Has the feel of a World Cup dead rubber group game about it.

Notable that all the Chelsea goals have come from the Englishman's side and most have been his errors or poor positioning.
Looks to be one of those young defenders who is decent going forward but not great doing the defensive stuff. Still, plenty of time for him to learn yet.

What a shocking decision to play it there. There’s no atmosphere and the camera doesn’t even look like it’s in the stadium.
I’ve turned over and I’m now watching Chernobyl which is probably where next years final is going to be if UEFA get their way.

I’ve got Virgin and it’s channel 100 |
| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football'  |

I think it's 'free to view 'on Virgin and otther 'net methods, but not on Freeview, highly mis-leading and scandalous that this match isn't on the Beeb or ITV like it always used to be. |

Win win for me tonight, two English clubs and all that so I was going to be neutral but was out in Clee last night and met a Liverpool fan (local chap) who hated GTFC with a passion and kept arguing the toss....so for that reason come on you Spurs tonight. |

It's on YouTube for free, so you'd have to be a bit flipping daft to go hunting for illegal streams!
I watched the Europa League Final via YouTube on a NowTV box in the week and quality was pretty decent.

Promotion plaice, your Liverpool “mate” probably hates Grimsby because we had the cheek to score a last-minute winner at Anfield, and it was an ex-Evertonian as well.
Liverpool should not be losing at home to “the likes of Grimsby”. He won’t have got over this yet.

Surprised to see Kane playing. Brave to start with him. Liverpool will not have expected that. However, better to see how long he lasts than chasing the game as a sub on say after 70 mins. Moura would be a very important impact player.

The YouTube stream for the Europa League Final the other night was good quality. Almost unwatchable tonight as they've clearly not got the bandwidth to deal with demand. If Google can't cope with the bandwidth demands, nobody would.

Even though I'm able to watch it on you tube, I've seen nothing coverage wise that would make me remotely contemplate subscribing
to BT sport. The commentators are absolute garbage.

What an anti-climax.
Liverpool won the Champions League with possibly their most mediocre performance of the season. Spurs did look better and created more chances, but even they looked below par.
On that showing, they wouldn't have got out of their groups.
So much hype around the game but imagine for just a minute how you'd be feeling if you were a Spurs fan who spent £1,000 to be there tonight.
Football at the top end is in a world of its own. The game doesn't belong to the people at that level. It belongs to the prawn sandwich brigade; the media conglomerates; oil companies and such like.
Grimsby Town may be a bit rubbish right now, and in the icy grip of a local rich man who has zero clue how to run a football club successfully, but at least we can get a ticket to watch us play without having to remortgage the house.

Watched the game last night and not for the first time I thought god this game of football is so overrated, when you think of all the build up and all the money spent by the fans and for what a total bore fest.
Maybe it’s an age thing as up until my early 30s the game of football was the bees knees the beautiful game and all that, but the reality is most games are boring especially if you follow a poor lower division club. I’ve just watched the boxing this morning and it just blows football out of the water for entertainment value, I didn’t see the undercards but the reports I’ve read are all saying brilliant fights.

The game was what I expected 2 knackered teams playing like a pre season game. Don't forget it's been 3 weeks since they last played.
So glad Kane played felt sorry for Moura. Kane should have been on the bench really but playing him from the start gave Liverpool an advantage.

The general idea of yours is that Liverpool are 'scum' remember?And that you also hate the Premiership full stop. Sitting down to watch the 'scum' playing against another Premiership team might not be the best idea you've ever had. |

It's been a brilliant tournament with some great games just a shame the final was so terrible. Football can be awful but the highs far exceed any other sport.

The exact opposite. Something I don't like that makes me mardy I avoid. Otherwise I'd just be forcing myself to watch it, moan like feck and irritate people. Agree though, the qualifiers were something else for excitement, but the final a little too guarded and not at all like the lead up games. Would have liked to have seen Ajax and their young teams take on how to play the final. |

I have much the same opinion about the game. Thinking about it, the reason for me at any rate is the lack of connection I feel with the club and the players on the pitch. It is in part an age thing. In younger days I knew some of the players personally especially local lads like Jimmy Fell. Ron Cockerill was our weekly Man From The Pru. We would see people like Brian Clifton when we were playing tennis at Ross on Weelsby Road. Quite a few players still lived in club houses in Cleethorpes or had bought their club house. We would see the players training in Weelsby Woods or running on the sands. It is a lot harder to get that community connection today when contracts are short, players commute and don't move here ...... to that extent I sympathise with the problem the club has in finding artificial ways to get younger people especially to relate to it in the way we naturally could. |

As a Liverpool fan (I know, how can I call myself a Town fan when I also follow Liverpool? (Ans. Because I always have)) I loved it. Sure the game was dull and Liverpool hardly got out of 2nd gear (never really needed to, did they), but it was tense to the very end and the celebrations at the end were just reward for a brilliant season.
I hope that Liverpool can build on this success and push on again next season, hopefully finally winning a Premier League title. If next season is as exciting as this one was, it will be wonderful. I can't wait. I'm pretty lucky, except for the domestic cups and (sadly) the FL, I get every game live and (thankfully) recordable. And the football this year has been, at times, mesmerising and the drama brilliant. As an EPL fan, the new season cannot start soon enough.

The early penalty just killed the game as a spectacle unfortunately.
It was fairly obvious that as soon as Liverpool were in front then they would play more defensively having such a solid defence as they do.
Had the game stayed nil nil for longer or had Spurs scored first the game would have been a far better spectacle than it was.
