Chelsea better wake up - they are going to get gubbed if they don't get into it
Big green saltire in the Betis end.
wonder if hoody Maresca has on is a 'lucky' one from cup run ? its minging... looks like its been worn by a student at multiple parties and never washed
Betis v Hibs in the Europa League next season. Betis already automatically into the League phase.
Trip to Seville to see the Hibees.
That would be a belter.
That should have been two
Ooft. How they not scored there.
Chelsea get a lot of possession and pressure then one break and should have been 2-0.
Can't believe they defend a corner with no one outside the box
Chelsea just seem slow compared to Betis
Underdogs just wanting it more watching it so far. Common theme in a lot of cup finals this year.Quote:

Has the currently Premiership style of play just became really boring?

Finish the job Betis. My preferred team in Seville 💚
Even if Betis go two up this ain't over.
They have a history of grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory.
60k fans back home in the stadium watching. Wait far the party if Betis win.Quote:

Chelsea been better team so far 2nd half.
Chelsea are so bad to watch. Totally over coached. Got plenty of good attacking players but they’re just not allowed to play.
What a cracking venue for a final, compare that to Hampden. Doesn’t look to be a bad seat in the place.
Game on.
1-1
**** boo
Chelsea now have the team on the park they should have started with.
Not good.
Boooooo
Palmer very Hot this half
2-1 Chelsea. Afraid to say but it's game over
Cole Palmer is fantastic.
Can't see anything other than a Chelsea win here now.
Simple goal
Wow, 1-2 Chelsea. Palmer is a wonderful player.
Look at the hair on this radge
Joke, Betis should have been out of sight first half, can’t stand Chelsea, but that’s football
Simple :faf::faf: did you watch Palmer's set up ridiculous feet and visionQuote:

Same , don’t like Chelsea at all .Quote:

I think it was the way he kicked it out, Great goal from Sancho to make it 3.Quote:

McTominay.
Lukaku
Sancho
Is there a link there? :greengrin
Anthony is doing rather well also....Quote:

Wonder if Isco fancies a Gayle tpe 'retirement' in Leith :greengrin
Yep. But at the end it was a chip and header with no challenge though.Quote:

Betis don't deserve this. Amazing to think should have gone 2-0 up.
1-4 deflection.
Yep, could be a good bet for the premiership next season, young team, bags of experienceQuote:

Betis ran out of legs in the end.
Kind of expected, but what a journey to the final.
I'm biased but what a fantastic club. Worth a read if you have time. Relegations, financial problems with the occasional glory thrown in. Kind of like Hibs in a way.
What a **** Cole Palmer is - great player but that interview, ice cold p**** !
Yeah complete tosser. Presenter said he’s cool off the pitch, that was more embarrassing than coolQuote:

Nope, sorry CWG but that was an awful interview and nothing to do with shyness or bring uncomfortable - arrogant, joyless, and couldn’t be arsed - in short rude to the interviewer/presenter. At least show some emotion for the support who have paid thousands to travel and support. He didn’t even celebrate with his fans. Only a European trophy after all !Quote:

What do you know about Cole Palmer and how he felt about winning?Quote:

He clearly relishes being inside the lines of a football pitch - which is what he gets paid for.
He is a hugely talented footballer and thats all that matters.
:agree:Quote:

We get it :greengrin
Bit of an old codger what does this mean? Palmer has autism? Just trying to understand the meaningQuote:

Scotland women relegated from their Nations League group after a tame 1-0 defeat in the new manager's first game.
First thing they need to do is stop playing these games at Hampden. There looked to be barely a soul there.
England meanwhile thrash Portugal 6-0 in front of 55,000.
The chasm-like gap is depressing.
Watching PSG tonight is like watching the Tornadoes
2-0
They have been sensationalQuote:

They are going beyond Peps inverted fullbacks in midfield dominance to Full backs as CF's it just such hard working, pressing combined with bags of skill and youthful exuberance - great to watch.
Never seen an old warhorse Italian team look so stunned - so much so they have not even made a bookable tackle
Young guns they could win the next 10 Champions Leagues next goal is importantQuote:

The idea that because you are a super talented footballer you should necessarily be slick in social situations or in dealing with media questions is in my experience ridiculous
PS. how good have PSG been
This inter milan team must be one of the worst champions league finalists in recent history
It really is. While the girls'/women's game is promoted here more than it was even just ten years ago, Scotland still seems to have a culture of it being a boys'/men's game. England has absorbed women's football into the wider culture way more than we have. A lot of easy lessons for us to learn, you'd think.Quote:
