The Champions League Final Thread.

Sly (then again, not THAT sly as it was spotted during the game) by Lewandowski.

Player did that to me last Sunday. No one gave a shite.

Jerome was on his arse as much as he was on his feet!

Felt bad for Dortmund, hate those Munich fucks!

Now we know that Dortmund will still be very strong without Goetze plus I'm sure that they have a replacement lined up. Dortmund with 3-4 signings and they could become the best team in Europe.

Plonkers in the Sky studio, how do we copy the German methods? Three years ago, how do we copy Barca / Spanish method? Maybe the powers that be should think of an English method.

The English method is very limited and outdated.

From what I saw the German method is the English method with a touch more class, not impossible to do. Also if we are saying a 70yr old coach playing the same way he was over 20 years ago has reinvented football the so called experts need to have a look at themselves

With a team who's attack is made up of Frenchman, Croatian and a Dutchman! Munich is a scum bag club, destabilizing Dortmund before the final with the Goetze transfer. Yes it takes two to tango, but they put the pressure on him and the story out there. Scum club. Don't expect Dortmund to be pulling up any trees next year, aside from loosing the best midfield player and likely their best forward, they will also loose one of either Hummels, or Subotic. There isn't a conveyor belt of replacements at the club. They will be no closer to Munich than this year and they still have debt to service. It will soon (if hasn't already), become a one horse league, but as Munich like it that way, that's how it will be.

Can't be arsed reading through 55 pages.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS !! Champions of EUROPE !!

No reason at all why that cannot be us in a year's time.

Apart from the fact that we are way more than a year behind either of those two sides.

Except for most of the season their attack was made up of two Germans, a Frenchman and Croatian. Kroos was injured of the final and you forgot Muller arguably their best player. Gomez is also better than Mandzukic.

Dortmund will do okay next year, because as long as they keep Gundogan, Bender, Pizscek, Weiderfeller, Hummels and Reus. These players are already the best or will be one of the best in the team. They should also have around 50 million to spend and have promising youngsters coming through.

We should take a serious look at the German system, because they play a style of football more suited to ours, but we should recreate an English style of football and not try and copy anyone else.

Thought it was a fascinating and brilliant final. Was rooting for Dortmund not only because I like the way they play and the fact they're young talented but because of the fantastic bond the players have with the fans. This is the ultimate football club. Brilliant fans who I was lucky enough to witness first hand when they came to the Etihad. Fair play to Bayern though they wore Dortmund up towards the end and Robben was fantastic.

What a day, what a final, what a joy!!!
Great match from both sides, great atmosphere from both sides. Looking at the referee's decisions Bayern were lucky that Ribery could finish the match. Looking at Dante's foul, I don't think that the referee must give a yellow card. Although he could...
But looking at the last 20 minutes Bayern deserved it as they wanted to win the cup.

EDIT: And on August 30th it's time for some payback in Prague against Chelsea and to win the missing trophy

Just a question for the people who joined the cup-final at Wembley:
How were the 'Security Checks' outside the stadium?
At the CL-final I've got a pat on my shoulder followed by a friendly 'Welcome' and that's it. Even my rucksack caused no attention.

Some people took fans without tickets 'piggyback' through the turnstile at the entrance while the view was blocked by the queue. Crazy!
