Match Threads Spurs vs Liverpool - Match Thread - Champions League Final

[CoopsieDeadpool]

It sounds like nearly everyone's going out to watch the game. It's just going to be me and you in here tonight @coopsieyid

Then I'll apologise beforehand for not clogging up the match thread with constant moaning about Poch's team selection, wrong tactics, late subs, Trippier being alive, Dembele being sold, Dier being a cart-horse, Eriksen being a pussy & Lloris being a liability.

Still, 3 hours 'til kick-off now, so only 3 hours & 30 seconds to wait for @yankspurs to appear and tell us we're not winning this.

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Fuck them. It’s our time

Enjoy the game, boys and girls. Be loud, proud, and I’ll see you on the other side, whatever happens.

COME ON YOU SPURS.

 

[walworthyid]

Ooh cryptic

Maybe Ian Hart is going to replace poch?

It's also free on bt.com and their mobile app (which I have to say is really good in general except for the ability to select where you want on the program timeline with a single fat finger)

I will be watching on my phone as unfortunately my daughter has just been taken into intensive care here in southern Spain

Best of luck with that and I hope we win it for them both

Shit mate. Genuine best wishes sent your way. As massive as tonight is, it's NOTHING compared to the health of your daughter.

The footy will take care of itself.

Just woke up extremely hungover and the mere sight of alcohol makes me want to vomit. But thats not stopping me. Retro 91 fa cup final polo on. Beer in hand. Hair of the dog. LETS FUCKING DO THIS SHIT! COME ON YOU FUCKING SPURS! TO DARE IS TO DO!

 

[ajspurs]

Now that we're getting closer, the wait is becoming agonising. I'm getting relief just from something distracting me and taking my mind off it. Might just watch a film beforehand and hope that it's a good one!

Very sorry to hear that - best of wishes for her speedy recovery!!

I simply have the comfort of knowing Poch has these players ready.
Specifically their mindset.
Throughout this up & down season there have been some massive challenges & they have come through when it really mattered.
Love being the underdog but our boys believe they are winners.

"Belief is a beauty thing".

Never thought I would see my club hit these heady heights.

I would love us to win it.

Here is to us.

Come On You Spurs!

A load of us are going to a mate’s house. Will end up pretty messy I imagine. I’ll be having at least 3 Diet Cokes. GET IN!

You messy? Never

Went on a bike ride around rural Hertfordshire.

Had 10 random groups of passersby say COYS to me... out in the quiet back roads!

Feels like a world cup match

Not big footy fans in rural Hertfordshire then? Random groups of passersby shouted COYS to you during world cup matches?

I'd apologise for attempting to be funny, but you're a bike-wanker so deserve everything you get.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

When was the last time we had a competitive fixture in June?

During a World Cup?

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

My dad always told me that The Beatles were for girls. He always preferred The Who.

Why choose? Both were bloody awesome in my opinion.

I'm in the induction ward with my wife and a baby that hasn't edged south in 36 hours, does anyone know if it's definitely being streamed by BT on YouTube?

Good luck mate, hope all goes well. My missus was due yesterday, she better keep her legs crossed for the next 7 hours...

 

[mpickard2087]

Honestly, not nervous but cant say I'm enjoying the build up either. Just want the game to start.

I'm not one of those who are like "omg we're in the CL final I'm just going to enjoy the occasion". I watch sport to a) be entertained and b) for the teams I follow to win. To be quite honest I'd see losing in the final as about as crap a feeling as it can get, so cant enjoy it until we get over the line.

We're underdogs based on this season, if you played it 10 times then we'd most probably lose more often than not presently, but lets see what happens. Come out from the first whistle with the right intensity and hunger, hopefully add a few dollops of quality to our play on top of that, play smart and manage the key spells of the match, and we're well capable of winning it. COYS

Can you please try to be a bit positive tonight and at least just enjoy being in a final?

Don't want to upset you @yankspurs but the final happened yesterday

 

[mattie g]

I’ve got ribs on the Big Green Egg, which is helping to distract me, but when I just took time away from that, the nerves started hitting me for the first time.

Faaahhhck!!!!

 

[Indisguise]

The BBC are reporting that the atmosphere in Madrid is really good-natured. I'm really impressed with both sets of supporters for making it a joyous occasion rather than a street battle.

Thanks v much mate

It helps to have the distraction tbh, as weird as it sounds. Cheers
