I honestly admire your undying loyalty to Danish sportsmen 

[Tamas]

Tamas, are you pumped for the Women's Champions' League final today between Barça and Chelsea?

I've decided this is the most important trophy that will be awarded in 2021.

Hah, had no idea it's today!

[The Larch]

Sorry Cel.

[celedhring]

It's ok, we were out of it weeks ago. Horrid finish to the season.

I think neutrals sadly turned against you as soon as Koeman turned up in sockless loafers

Man, you are desperate.

Agree, if they had to bring back a legend at least choose one with style.

[celedhring]

Laudrup seems to pick a fight with everybody after 1-2 in every club he manages 

Seems we'll go with Xavi as the next in the "when in doubt, appoint a legend" list.

[The Larch]

Where is Laudrup coaching nowadays anyway? He kinda fell off the face of the earth lately.

And we won the women's CL 

Probably the first CL final Chelsea will lose this year 

[FunkMonk]

Everything about that Alisson goal is incredible. The timing. The technique. The player. The circumstance. Holy crap

And the last. 

The lads have been half their brains off the pitch since they got into the CL final. It's  massive deal for that young squad, they are going beat the Emir's team.

Leicester's oligarch gets a few plusses for this celebration.

Yeah - fans normally like their oligarch (I'm as guilty as anyone of this).

But I think there is a slightly deeper emotional connection at Leicester given the death of his father and, obviously, the incredible league win (and now cup win).

They have also put a lot of money and effort into the community and have done loads of things for fams free scarves, free beer). Abramovich, not so much. And of course, every right thinking football fan hated Chelsea even before they had any money.

Apparently he's the only 'keeper to score a goal for Liverpool in its club history.
