Betis players absolutely heartbroken
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:

Ah, ok, didn't realise that, I'll try to engage my brain the next time.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:
