Honestly, ITV need to get a new in studio line up! Steve Ryder and Andy Townsend are just unbearable! Makes the old Des Lynam/Gabby Logan and Terry Venables team look like the best presenters in sport! :p

I wanted to watch a cup final tonight and feel like I got a boring top vs. lower half league match! I'm glad the CL Final isn't the final match of the season this year! But dammit, the FA Cup final is back on ITV this year! :crazy:

On that subject, the CL Final is usually the final game of the season, after the FA Cup final usually on the Saturday before hand. Anyone know why it was scheduled later this year? Just outta interest!

I can't take being beaten by a team that shouldn't have been there, period. If it weren't for that Norwegian egg who reffed the Semi-Final with ****-up after ****-up, it would have been a repeat of last season's final. :(

And what makes you so sure you would've beaten them? They won once in the league other time they drew.. Guus Hiddink would have outfoxed Fergie..

Barcelona played United off the park, terrible performance from United. Well done Barcelona.

Looking forward to it all again next season!

I'll leave all the drama/fighting and team bashing to you guys but, I have stuff to do now :p Just remember where your teams finished before going nuts ;)

Why would that matter Liverpool were knocked out by Chelsea not United ...

Because every real Liverpool fan hates United with every ounce of their being, and wants them to lose every match they enter maybe? If you where a real football fan, that'd be a bit more obvious to you, but as a member of the Manchester United glory hog club, I guess i'll let you off.

United where awful everywhere today, and can have no complaints at all about being beaten. And that just shows me that United are not the best club team in the world, they have stuttered and stuttered all season, and when they came up against an opponent with enough quality to really test them, they came up short.

Iniesta was my motm..

Wenger says what I felt tonight best..

“I would want him(Henry) to do well because I know one thing he needs and he deserves in his career is a successful Final. People don’t realise what happened to him in 2006.

“He played in the Champions League Final and just lost. He knows he had the chance to score the second goal. Then he went on and played in the World Cup Final and they lost on penalties. When you are 30 years-old, how much does that hurt?

“You think that might be my last chance to be in there. For him to go back into the Final and do well is very important.

“So I will support him in this game. That’s not Barcelona. I would just want him to play well and then I want the team who plays the best to win.”

Edited by Kralik

I think I heard that just before the kickoff. Odd for them to break tradition. Only one final before was played outside of a Wednesday, and that was a replay, played 48 hours after the game was a draw.

That's just about what I thought ..

Up the Gills by the way ... :D

Pikey, you from Gillingham too?

Anyway, i haven't seen United pass the ball that badly in a while and they seemed like they were afraid of tackling the Barca players or should have at least tried tp pressure them a bit more. Carrick should have been taken off before Park. He had an absolute stinker.

as Liverpool fan I am happy

Really? A Liverpool fan who doesn't live in Liverpool? Wait til Martyn finds out!

And that just shows me that United are not the best club team in the world, they have stuttered and stuttered all season, and when they came up against an opponent with enough quality to really test them, they came up short.

One bad game doesn't make a team bad... if we weren't good we wouldn't have been in the final.

    • Nobody is buying a PS5 only for playing Until Dawn 2. Their loss.
    • If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
