Every day since the ajax match i have spent time at work day dreaming about an open top bus rolling down the high road.
I cant do it too myself, just cant.

I won't even be able to attend that unless my school kid is off sick, wished all schools across the country where made to have a bloody inset day


Do you think we would do it Madrid/Barca style - like late night from the airport? or in the streets of London - that would be pretty awesome.

Meh it will some organised malarky in the stadium definitely - means spending more money for Mr Levy

was mentioned on SSN that it will be held on the 3rd, no other details

Cool - super... 3rd would be ok - better than a Sunday when people are still in Madrid

As long the bus drives past the Emirates please...

Heres hoping we win the damn thing first

I think we should play in the green. Don’t know why just can’t picture us winning in all white for some reason. Know it sounds stupid. The green kit just feels right for this game.

Has it been pointed out yet that you can watch if for free on BT Sport's YouTube channel and cast it to your TV?

Okay. Clink the link and it'll take you to BT Sport on YouTube. So long as you have a smart TV you can cast to or a Chromecast you can watch it for free.

That is so weird and why have I not heard about this before? I have no modern wireless smart TV thing, but what I do have is an old-fashioned projector with computer cable. :hungry: So this will guaranteed be up live?

BT show the CL final (not sure about Europa) on their freeview standard-definition channel since they've had it, I believe, and it was on their Youtube channel last year at least. I imagine that it was part of the deal they did in acquiring the rights that they had to show some free matches.

However, they seem to make very little of this, because otherwise how would they get people to hand over the money? I believe they're losing the rights to UFC which presumably is their other main draw.

I was just thinking that we have lost 4 games on the way to the final. Is that the most any team has lost in one campaign?

Here's a bit of plagiarised text from another site:

"Virgin TV customers will be able to watch in SD, HD and 4K for the first time. Access is via channel 532 (BT Sport 2 SD) or 528 (BT Sport 2 HD), and the red button for 4K Ultra HD.

TalkTalk users can view channel 409 (BT Sport 2) while many EE customers will have access via the BT Sport app.

While the match is being described as 'free-to-air', it's not available directly on Freeview or Freesat, but...

Champions League Final online

...there will be a free Champions League final live stream online that anyone can watch. Head to btsport.com/final at 6pm to get access to the free match stream.

But there's more. There will be also be a free 4K Champions League stream (and SD/HD) on the BT Sport YouTube channel. So anyone with an internet connection can watch the final for free."

Bayern lost 4 in 09/10 (2 in the group, then 2 legs in the R16/QF) before losing in the final, I believe. There may be others who had more.

We're the only side to make it past the quarter finals after losing our first two group matches - Galatasaray previously managed the QF in 12/13.

On Love Sport - the Spurs Trust say that the fan parks arent showing the game? - that cannot be right

I guess it might be a ball ache for the authorities having loads of fans out in the open in one area at night. I'd rather watch it in a pub anyway. Went to the England fan park in Marseille and it was shit during the day, went back to the main port area for pre-match atmosphere.
