I really hate the way the benefit always goes to the attacking player. Ball going to the attackers left. The defender is to the attackers right. Attacker puts his leg out to the right, away from the direction the ball is going in, into the defender, so he initiates the contact, and he gets a penalty for that. Always feels like total bollocks to me.

It's just safer but boring, to admit to my typos with ex teachers around

I really don’t want extra time in this game, I’ve got dinner to cook…

Now we may get a game of football

arsenal fans in the pub I’m in saying it was a stupid tackle

1-1

The fact that French people want Arsenal to win should not be underestimated.

Kite - I genuinely don’t police your posts, I make enough mistakes myself not to deserve to critique you in any way, I promise you that - plus I’m in agreement with pretty much every point you make on here. PSG players doing their best to influence the ref to give cards to Arsenal players - for that alone they deserve to lose…

Back in those days both Dundee clubs reached the European Cup semi finals

That should be Chelsea 2 a4e

Six English clubs have won the European Cup or Champions league; Liverpool 6, Man Utd 3, Chelsea 3, Forest 2, Mam City 1, Villa 1

Trigg - true, although in a way I’d rather see any English team win this than PSG, who appear to have arrogantly thought that they could just turn up and win (which of course may still happen…). Also, apologies for my two emojis on the previous post - I forgot myself there, too many zero percent beers in this heat…

Nearly all of France outside Paris wants Arsenal to win.

Arsenal wasting time already, typical. Come on PSG, the footballing world would like you to tear them a new one

Yeah but everyone wanted Wimbledon to win that cup so it made it an exciting game with the Iohn Barnes v Dave Beasant chance and the penalty/penalty save. This game has none of that so far and no one wants Arsenal to win.

His insurance premium now probably takes a week's wages LD ;)

[Link] Raheem Sterling had "an extremely tough couple of years". Must be tough to be on £300,000-per-week.

Sometimes a team needs to defend almost all game and win on the break - it reminds me of the 1988 FA Cup Final 👀😬

Can’t blame Arsenal but it’s a really dull game as a result. PSG are talked about being the best attacking team in Europe but for all their possession they’ve not created anything credible so far. When they get a corner you get no sense of danger.

It might end up being a case of be careful what you wish for next season for Liverpool…

Gooner in defensive mode really since minute 6, denying space to PSG

Well gosh darn it.

Yes, I think Slot has been somewhat harshly treated - won the league (albeit with Klopp’s squad, but a squad that Klopp had “failed” to win the title with…), and had a relatively poor “second album syndrome” season, plus had Salah whining and making things tricky for him - it would be very interesting to know what Liverpool fans think about it.

No, Liverpool were 3rd in 23/24, klopp's last season. They lost a couple of key games in April and fell away

Hold on I thought Klopp left having won the title and then Slot came in and won the title again with the same team. Have I just imagined that?
