[Hibernia&Alba]

Cardiff 1-3 Palace

Cardiff going down. Can't stand Warnock; I hope he's really hurting.

[calumhibee1]

This is a game live on prime-time TV, across the whole of the UK, and I find the standard very poor.

Given the size of the crowd, I'm struggling to see why they held it at Wembley.

I watched bits of it and it’s dreadful.

Southend V Sunderland is also absolute pish. Oh and Plymouth have just been mugged right off.

[cabbageandribs1875]

what a stupid clumsy penalty southend just gifted away...1-1 15 mins to stave of relegation


plymouth 3 s****horpe 2

[cabbageandribs1875]

2-1 southend :)


the mask of Zorro, 15 fractured bones, 8 metal plates etc etc :eek:

[green day]

Could end up quite a decent day even though we look like missing Euro fitba.

Falkirk relegated, Neil Warnocks team relegated

[cabbageandribs1875]

southend stay up, AFC wimbledon stay up instead of Plymouth, courtesy of ending 3 goals better off...


play-offs

Charlton(3) v Doncaster(6)
Pompey(4) v sunderland(5)



next up

Newcastle v Liverpool.. hope they beat each other :)

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Mark Oxley in goals for Southend

Kept his contact lenses in and everything

[we are hibs]

Souness laying into sturridge about being unprofessional about 5 seconds before his phone rings live on air.

[essexhibee]

Proud of Southend! Huge result. League 2 would have been a disaster.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

I don’t get it

The Southend fans ran on to celebrate and the Sunderland fans didn’t run on to start a fight

Isn’t that the done thing?

[cabbageandribs1875]

1-0 this seasons soon to be runners-up, got my bet on just in time :)

[Keith_M]

There's 40000 there. Over 50000 tickets sold, but the league wouldn't reschedule the west ham EPL game so lots of hammers fans didn't go.


Not a dig at you, but I find that hard to believe.

I saw some of the game on TV and it looked very sparsely populated, even with the top tier closed.

[cabbageandribs1875]

newcastle 1 liverpool 1


really should have been a penalty and liverpool player red carded for stopping the ball on the line with his arm, better taking the goal i suppose

[jonty]

Forgot I'd taken a skybet price boost on the thunderbird to score with a header.
seems like easy money now!
Mane to score and that's another price boost.
(although in fairness I do also have Newcastle to win, just to for cover.)

I like the idea that it was the Falkirk supporters who relegated their club. They go one nil up against QOS and promptly invaded the pitch to celebrate, in the time that was added on because of this QOS then equalised! :greengrin

[Golden Bear]

Well played Liverpool. Newcastle tried to kick you off the park but it didn't work. It was like Hibs v Hertz except on this occasion the good guys won thru.

😁

[ED Hibee]

Hahahaha I'm not even a Liverpool fan but some of the stuff on here is comical. They've been absolutely brilliant all season and would thoroughly deserve the title.

Down here Liverpool fans are as bad if not worse than Old Firm when it comes to the “more than just a club” nonsense that the likes of them and the old firm come out with. Half the footballing media are their ex players and they do seem to get more than their fair share of refereeing decisions. Their fans are worse than Celtic when it comes to conspiracy theories!

I used to quite like them before I moved south. However I’ve now Developed the same irrational hatred for them as I have the Old Firm and take great delight in seeing them fail.

In saying that they have played some great football at times and given their the luck going there way with no long term injuries to any of their key players (before tonight) and key decisions going their way, I reckon they are stick ons for the title.

[Sir David Gray]

You seem upset. :greengrin

I just don't like cheating.

It probably won't bother him as it may well go on to win his team the title but Fabinho should be banned for that incident. It was ridiculous.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

It keeps it going to last game but Man City will beat both Leicester and Brighton and win it.

Think it was a foul initially but he certainly made a meal out of it.

Paul Scholes had a good quote recently saying it just shows how far United have fallen as the height of their ambition this season is to hope Liverpool lose.

Well done Norwich, played some cracking stuff this season, a joy to watch. 👏

And well done their board for remaining supportive of the manager :aok: last season there were calls for him to go but they've done what boards should do and given him time to build the side :agree: good to see Kenny McLean doing well there too - very good player, much like McGinn in outlook and temperament.

[Onion]

Thought they'd be pleased. They've pretty much killed off Europe for us.

They likely realised losing to Killie was a better way to stop us getting Europe than them having to beat Celtic in the SCF.

Well at least we can now watch the Cup final without worrying about a double whammy 😊

It's now their only way of qualifying. If Chelsea beat them in the final the Champions League spot would go to 3rd place in Ligue 1

Why would the French league get the extra spot?

Because England already has 4 participants. The only way to get 5 is if a team out with the qualifying part (e.g. England's top 4) wins either the CL or the EL.

If Chelsea win it, they've already qualified, so the place needs to go elsewhere. France presumably have the highest coefficient that doesn't already have 4 teams in the CL.

On what way is it nonsense? What's a nonsense is commentators favouring sides on a nationwide tv platform. This isn't Liverpool tv. Would everyone be saying the same if Andy walker was going on the same about Celtic? Or Sutton? Or Stewart about hearts? It's ludicrous.

In what way are they impartial? They're investors in English football, and the English teams doing well in the biggest club football competition on the planet adds £££ to their product.

City are miles off competing against the best in Europe, I said all along they are minnows in Europe compared to Liverpool. Liverpool will most likely only be one point away from winning the league. To Liverpool though the League is what they cherish.

GIRUY Barca, Madrid, PSG, Bayern and Juventus. The CL will finally be won by a team I like.
Ajax have been very good.

City ARE one of the best in Europe. :agree:

Superb from Klopp: "The boys were ****ing unbelievable" live on Sky. :top marks

[cabbageandribs1875]

Not sure about that but can’t wait for the final! What a brilliant tie that was.



i'l be betting on a liverpool win....consolation for them finishing runners-up in the league, english football would rightfully be cock a hoop if spurs were to overcome Ajax tomorrow night, it's very much looking like arsenal and chelsea will also be in a european final, looks like all that foreign investment/money laundering is going to pay off :greengrin

[frazeHFC]

That was incredible

They really aren't. Bar a hairline (but correct) offside against aguero in the quarter final they would have been in the last four.

If City win the league and Liverpool the CL they’ve probably both got their 2nd choice!I think you`re probably right there at least for supporters . Klopp might value CL more than English League .
Other point , without putting a dampener on those who get excited about success for English clubs , but am I the only one here who thought the football produced by two of the richest clubs in the world wasn`t great ? Realise that there are loads of people including on hibs.net who care about results of Liverpool and other English clubs but many will be like me who couldn`t care less who won tonight but hope to see good football from world`s top players .

Pity there's no way for both teams to lose in an Arsenal Chelsea final.

nah don't mind much arsenal winning it, i do chelsea though

[WeeRussell]

Very good question. I think they'd take the league.

A big Liverpool fan I know certainly would give it all to just have that premier league win, so much so I got the impression he’d not have been that upset at getting knocked out the champions league nearer the start of the year. I suspect the league priority will apply to majority of scousers.

Not a bad second prize should they go on to win the champions league instead though, which I would generally consider the bigger fish.

Personally I hope it’s Ajax that win.

[Scouse Hibee]

City ARE one of the best in Europe. :agree:

Results say otherwise they need to prove it in actual European competitions. As I say minnows compared to Liverpool in Europe

[PatHead]

Reminds me of the discussion - would you choose promotion or winning the cup. We all know how that turned out. 🏆🏆🏆🏆

[Bostonhibby]

City ARE one of the best in Europe. :agree:7th or 8th based on actual achievement? Not a great return for all they've spent. Pleasing on the eye at times but they don't do really big games like Liverpool did tonight.

The truly brilliant thing about a result like tonight is that almost no one is indifferent to it. People either love what happened or they hate it.

That's what makes football such a great game.

[Scouse Hibee]

Ifs buts and maybes. They really are, and it hurts them.

Almost impossible not to have a big soft spot for Ajax. That strip, the history, Cruyff, they way they run the club, all good.

Very much so. I have a look on my coupon like I've just caught my walloper in my zip, but at the same time I have to say Liverpool deserve it.

[heretoday]

What a performance by LFC. But they haven't won anything yet.
There are two other teams determined to win the cup too and having watched Spurs at their best this season I wouldn't put money on anyone in particular winning it.

[Lago]

Yes and the current team almost solely developed through Ajax system, unfortunately the money clubs are already circling so this perhaps their one shot before the team is dismantled.

[Hibeesmad]

One of the most incredible comebacks in football history. I'm not a big fan of Liverpool and were gutted it was them who did it but hats off to them, that was special.

Now for a loss to Ajax or Spurs in the final. Come on you Spurs.

Spurs with a fully fit team could beat anyone. Man City at home is a great example. It's going to be a great game tomorrow, it will test Ajax's mentality that's for sure.

[KDY Hibs]

Ajax won't beat liverpool

Yes they will.

[eastterrace]

Yes
Reminds me of the discussion - would you choose promotion or winning the cup. We all know how that turned out. 🏆🏆🏆🏆i mind some on hibs net were wanting promotion instead of a cup win if you could pick, utter nuts.

The League is certainly first choice for City supporters. The owners may think different.

[HoboHarry]

I'm still wondering if the 4th goal was quick thinking by Alexander-Arnold or a training ground routine?

It looked all his own work to me, Origi only just turned to see the ball in the nick of time.

Just read his interview where he said he saw the opportunity and went with his instinct. Fair play to him, brilliantly done.......

[Wilson]

And you think voting for another year in the championship isn't nuts?

Sorry but it will still be a cold day in hell before I ever see hibs staying in the championship as an acceptable option.

Just saying.

[Baader]

Best corner since May 2016. That was just incredible.

As someone with family ties to Everton I don't much like Liverpool FC but tonight was just wonderful. They need to win it now.

An unbelievable performance and the reason why I love this game.

Football at times never ceases to amaze.

[HibeeBigFly]

They need to rebrand this joke of a competition!

Roma last title win 2000, Liverpool even before that. The whole thing is striking me as a glorified old uefa cup!

Well certainly the biggest since Roma did exactly the same thing to Barcelona in the QF last season.

Been out at a work dinner.. some result for Diverpool.

How many of the 4 goals were affside, not a free-kick or a dive? :greengrin

Whilst the ‘champions league’ is not my thing. Barcelona being knocked out means we have no actual league winners in the final!

[cabbageandribs1875]

i was reading earlier Leicester striker iheanacho got a load of racist abuse on twitter after he missed a sitter against man city, wonder who on earth would be so annoyed at him to give such abuse :confused: Mmmm

[mjhibby]

Superb from Klopp: "The boys were ****ing unbelievable" live on Sky. :top marks

That was hilarious. He said he couldn't think of the words to describe his team's performance and that all the kids should be tucked up in bed anyway. Just be a great manager to play for. Barca are in decline but still an awesome performance. The header for the third was a thing of beauty. They so deserve to win at least one trophy this year as they have been breathtaking at times.

[Since452]

Despite all the plaudits Barcelona get thats two years in succession they've completely bottled a massive fist leg lead

[theonlywayisup]

Jake will be regretting this post I think.

The name is for branding and Liverpool proved last night they are more than good enough for it. It's a competition for the best teams and the best teams are in it. Simple.

Is it just me or is it not totally ridiculous that the game wasn't on terrestrial TV or any highlights for that matter. It's no coincidence imho that far less kids are playing a sport since virtually everything is now pay TV. A sad sign of the times and probably a factor in the obesity crisis. I'll just get off my high horse now.😀

So not putting a football match on Council TV is causing obesity?

I have lost your logic there.

Just watched the game again, brilliant, Klopp is a genius.

Does any one know of a Pub in Edinburgh which is near to or themed like boozer for Liverpool fans to watch the final on 1st June

Makes a mockery of the competition. As does having four teams from the same country in it.

Brilliant brilliant night. Liverpool are a real club, full of passion and pride. Very few tourists and phone obsessed fans.

Not my experience recently.. no shame in it however..


So IF Liverpool won the CL I assume that is bigger achievement than winning the premier league? Genuine question, would they swap it for a league win. City would!!

As a City fan - I know we want EPL more.

[MWHIBBIES]

Makes it better because the best teams are in it. It's football, stop overthinking.

[G B Young]

Yep, that's what it should be called. Champions League has never made any sense when you can play in it by finishing fourth in the Premier League.

Great win for Liverpool but how overrated are that Barca side? The first leg score flattered them and they were badly found out last night. After all the talk of mountains to climb, Barca presented little more than a molehill for Liverpool to negotiate.

[Scouse Hibee]

Really this is tiresome chat and has been for years. The CL this year has been one of the best to watch, your making a mockery comment is just nonsense. It’s called the Champions league because the winners are the champions of Europe, nothing to do with individual champions and never has been since they changed the format.

[The 90+2]

I would rather it was called the CL and keep the theme song st the start rather than rebrand it because a few don’t agree with the name. Each to their own I suppose.

[Lago]

Looks as if English clubs will dominate European football for sometime to come.

[Seveno]

Klopp totally gets Liverpool and is the perfect fit for that club. Football is at its best when there is a good helping of emotion and they surely know how to serve that up.
