The system works. Power to all who took part in it.

This is the Sophie's Choice of footballing support, when you look at it that way. As one should do. But from a pure footballing POV, I just cannot have (as Adam calls them) Set-Pieces FC winning it. It'll be bad enough when they win the league. I might stop watching football if they do the double.

Too little too late, I fear. Hell of a finish, though.

This game needs a goal.

I do know that I want the Champions League winners to come from this match. Even if that is PSG. I don’t want that boring shower of bastards from North London to win a coin toss.

I sense we might be in for another monster night between Bayern & PSG if the first 3 minutes are any indication...

Watching an old episode of Eurotrash, & there's currently a feature about purses/bags being made out of kangaroos' scrotums, with the occupational hazard of exploding bollocks. They don't make TV like that anymore.

Since the snooker is coming to a conclusion... www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLPD...

Phil Foden is turning into James from Derry Girls.

I need to start watching more snooker again. It can be engrossing at its best.

I think I hate the Cleveland Cavaliers as much as I hate the Boston Celtics & NY Knicks.

And just as Fernandes should have been sent off this afternoon, Max Strus should have been ejected for Cleveland. Shitheads.

I was hoping that the Toronto Raptors would make up for the disappointment of Liverpool this afternoon. Looks like that hope was in vain.

Why oh why oh why must American singers who are tasked with singing their national anthem at events add tons & tons of melisma to it? It makes me want to disembowel myself.

Catch 21. None Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. A Tale Of One City. OK Expectations.

"Worst season ever". Bloody hell. Some people don't know they're born. This is spot on, by the way.

Ha ha. Lost some followers. That says more about them than it does about me.

Also, can't be arsed with any of the "Slot out" wank. Go & tell it to someone who cares.

This was lost in the first half. Moan about VAR & officials all you want to, but if Liverpool had had anything about them in the first half, all talk of that would be utterly irrelevant. No point blaming referees for Liverpool being shit in that first 45 minutes.

Ever since we've just booked another cruise to go on (in 2028), Liverpool seem to have found their mojo. Should have booked it before kick-off.

Well, if he's watching from hospital - & hopefully, he's OK - what he's seeing will make him feel better.

People threatening - yes, threatening - to **block** other people if they suggest that Slot deserves another season. Wow, shitting one here. Who made them fucking kingmakers? I hate some of our fans.

No point moaning about that VAR decision. If it's not that clear, they should give the goal. It was the right call. And ultimately, if it wasn't allowed, it would just be delaying the inevitable. This is going to get worse for Liverpool before it gets better (that's if it does actually get better).

They still insist on singing that racist stereotype chant which mentions Park Ji-sung. I'm amazed that NO-ONE picks them up on that. Also... it's not like where Old Trafford is based is like the fucking land of milk & honey. I fucking despise that chant.

Ultimately, today's game doesn't really mean that much in the grand scheme of things - top 5 doesn't live or die by what happens today. If the effort is there, then I won't mind that much if they lose, especially given the paucity of attacking options. But I'd take a draw now if you offered me it.

Wasn't expecting someone to call for the release of the Epstein Files at the Crucible, but he has a point, to be fair.

I don't see how Mark Allen recovers from that. I'll be amazed if he wins this last frame.

I can't quite believe what I've just watched there. Can't beat good sport.

Tense snooker matches can be the most compelling to watch.

Just been subjected to watching The Devil Wears Prada - I'd not seen it before. Utter shite. I'd have probably had more fun watching The Devil Wears Primark.

Inadvertently catching Michael McIntyre on the telly reminds me that he's a Spurs fan, & that's even more reason than I already need for wanting them to go down.

Can't be arsed watching Arsenal any more. Where's the fucking enjoyment in watching them? Footballing mogadon.

Pretty fucking sure The Times shouldn't get a say on this. Pretty sure Lennon would take issue with it. It's his music. It's not ours.

They ain't gonna win now it's 3-0.

West Ham have done enough to win this game - hit the woodwork 3 times. It won't matter too much (at least this weekend) if Spurs don't win at Villa.

Not quite sure why this pulling of hair thing has suddenly become a thing in the Premier League, but there is no reason for any player to do it. It is violent conduct, no matter what anyone might think. And I'm looking at you, messrs Moyes & Carrick.

I'm on board. With both points.

I'll always remember Alex Brooker speaking on The Last Leg during the Rio Paralympics as to why Alex Zanardi was a hero to him. I've just watched it again now & it's made me tear up. It's well worth 3 minutes of your time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAXB...

Bryan Ferry does a fantastic rendition of You Go To My Head. I'm not sure I can picture anyone else singing it as well as he did.

Working day done… enough time for a glass of Pinot Grigio & another couple of chapters of @4hundredblows.bsky.social’s remarkable book before my train home. Honestly, get on it. It’s available now. It’s utterly compelling.

Gotta be happy with that if you're a Bayern supporter. Could have got away from them. Tie is still on. Tomorrow's game will probably send a glass eye to sleep. And given who the away team are, that's highly likely.

I might need to seek this book out. I remember watching Peter Mullan's 2002 film "The Magdalene Sisters" about 20 years or so ago. One of the most distressing films I think I've ever watched - it's stuck with me to this very day.

Again... Harry Kane though... that pass... If you can't appreciate truly objectively how brilliant a footballer he is, then frankly, there is fuck all hope for you, in my opinion.

Yep!

I think Diaz is onside there...

Here we go...

Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich have suddenly turned into Vincent Kompany's Burnley. Still think they'll score again though. Think PSG will as well though.

Not so sure that VAR was the problem with that penalty being awarded as much as the actual law was. Great half of football though. We're watching the winners of the competition. Not sure who that is though (but I'm hoping it's Bayern).

Michael Olise might not be that far behind him though…
