Forza Liverpool - If only for the style of football they have played this season. I would love to see similar being exhibited by the Villa.
This ........it's nice to watch fast attacking football - Robertson is decent at left back

Why didn't the official on goal line see that hand ball?

Not watching but the extra officials never seem to spot anything, not sure what they are there for.

When we played Juve at Villa Park back in 82? I seem to recall a couple of Villa fans were stabbed outside the ground

Correct - by UK based Juve fans

83 wasn't it? I remember having to stand on the Witton End because I think the Holte was full and quickly realised there were quite a few London based Juve fans around us. It was a bit moody but luckily my mate Micky looked more Italian than most of them and we let them win of course.

3-2 Roma. Too little too late.

I remember in the programme you could win a Zanusssi washing machine in a half time draw. I think they sponsored Juve at the time?

Let’s hope they lose the final agonisingly to Ronaldo in the 10th minute of injury time.

Well you give Roma that penalty they should have had and Bayern the one from yesterday, we could have had an altogether less hideous final. As it is, I'll be playing Minecraft or something that day I think.

Of the five English teams at the start of this season's Champions League, the one I'm least fussed about getting to the final is Liverpool.

Personally I hope they win it with a last minute own goal by Ronaldo :)
Whether you like Liverpool/Scousers or not you have to admire their record in this competition plus in the current team there are no players that you could dislike - we are rightly proud to have won the cup just once - surely you can't begrudge their fans being justly overjoyed at the possibility of winning it for a sixth time - at least it keeps the Mancs quiet
