Yeah, if we have to come from behind it'll be very difficult.

You have to wonder if tonight's farce will have any repercussions for our game next week. UEFA won't want another situation like this, surely.

It's gonna be a classic. An absolute goal fest - the Frazier-Ali of football matches, the 2005 ashes...

No tactics, tictacs - just goals, goals, goals. Heroes and Villains.

Controversy and lots of press attention? It’s exactly what they want.

It's not the 2010 WC final but Taylor has done well imo. Booked a sub there for coming on and mouthing off.

This has been a poor final, football has taken a backseat to shithousery on both sides.
It's one of the reasons why the Premier League is the best in the world.

Nothing like a 30 minute argument to warm up for penalties.

Actually, if this involved us, I'd be totally livid.

But needle and chicanery is part and parcel of football through the ages. It's compelling viewing, even if also totally anti-entertainment, in terms of value for the neutral.

It's actually just these two clubs - duking for a place in CL. Decent atmosphere, too.

16 cards in a final? Mass surrounding of the officials on and off the pitch on an industrial scale? It's not common, no.
