You weren't expecting it? Di Matteo made a deal with the devil.
John Terry's prophecy.
Terrible post.
Because it's obvious it was Dalglish?

The real deal is this year when his perfectly round head will hold the cup, as the first manager, for the second time in a row.
Think of it as a collective effort.
I'd rather watch Baseball.

No, because no one destroyed Liverpool. They are still league contenders and are a force to be reckoned with on the world stage.
Alternative answer: Hicks and Gillet (boooooo hisssss).

Fuck Di Matteo and his half blown up balloon head.
Nani over young on the left, don't think it'll happen tho.

Both 99 and 12 finals have been one of the greatest moments in football history.
Specially last one.

Oh I know you're admiring the shape of his skull and want nothing more than to feel it with your own hands. I know I want to.
Say, I noticed Madrid fans seem to really dislike Bayern. Wonder why is that. It is only because they've met a lot in the CL over the last decade or so.
Let us never speak of it again.
Can't believe it's been four months.
Just savouring it because it won't happen again for a while.

In my case, the 99 one because Im an United fan too, and last one for the massive trolling.
Let's not say things you can't take back.

I can only imagine him saying "A BALLOON. A BIG FUCKING BALLOON. ROUND, LIKE THE THING YOU GUYS KICK. THAT'S WHAT MY HEAD IS LIKE. LIKE A FUCKING ROUND BALLOON"
Even though I know he probably isn't.

people asked me if i cried. i said i almost cried after müllers goal cause it was fucking deserved....
after the last penality from drogba i turned off the tv, and sat there for 30 minutes. i'm happy i watched that game alone the other day. i was sooo freaking angry. my girlfriend didnt know how to react afterwards.
but really, i was sitting there for 30 minutes, thinking: how could that happen? i think the last think i did was writing something like "gratz to chelsea" on gaf.
it was a sad day even when i think about it today. i still have no idea how that could happend. never looked back at that game.

I grew up in the 90s and started to care about football when Madrid won La Séptima. I was 10 years old.
I still remember it.
Plus, Eric Fucking Cantona.

I'm sorry about that. I was looking back at the CL final thread and your response after the match was very classy.

Tonight we truly climb out of purgatory.
Chelsea is not the team they used to be. They won the CL last year, but they are hardly the juggernaut of their domestic successes. Nevertheless, they have a lot of talent on the field that needs to be respected.
They'll be fast upfront. Really fast. A lot of pre-game previews have talked about us being a different, very defensive Italian side than the ones that the English media is used to shitting on. That's true. We play a different style than even a two years ago with no real holding DM player like Melo.
But if we win, we're going to win with our defense and midfield, not just because our strikers are average, but because we're going to have to find a way to neutralize the speed that Chelsea has. The easy way to do that is to unleash the engine that is Vidal and Marchisio on them. They'll be able to at least keep pace with the likes of Torres. And then as I think will have to be necessary is we hit them on the break with a Pirlo pass to Giovinco or Vucinic, or similarly try to get them to hold up play until we can get our possession game going.
Reason tells me to predict a tie, to be honest. Both sides are going to feel each other out a lot and we'll both dominate play at times. Chelsea will probably score first, taking advantage of our slow defence and we'll pull one back late. And we'll be happy with it. But my emotions are getting the better of me. Chelsea 1 - 2 Juventus (Mata; Vucinic/Marchisio)

Same here.
Agree with my fellow Bayern fans, CL 12 was much worse than 99.
I was in disbelief, and realised this chance will never come again. Even if they won it in the next couple years, they won't ever play the final at home again. Only to be the better team and still lose.
And I will forever and ever blame shitty Heynckes for it. Yes, many things went wrong, but they all could have been avoided if he kept Müller on for five more mins.
Anyway, looking forward to tonight. I will order PIZZA!

Channel 4 News have really upped their game in the past 12-18 months or so. Brought on board some quality journalists to go alongside their pre-existing well informed frontline crew.
Don't know how fair it is to blame Heynckes for the substitution just because Bayern conceded after it. Correlation doesn't imply causation. I really don't see that it made all that much difference to the equaliser.

I grew up in the 90's, that's why I'll always love Weezer and Alan Shearer.
Same here.
Is not just about the substitution, that substitution changed like 5 players position on the field. We were playing like this:
Neuer
Lahm - Boateng - Tymo - Contento
Schweinsteiger - Kroos
Robben - Mueller - Ribéry
Gómez
(God, what an awful lineup)
And after the substitution:
Neuer
Lahm - DvB - Boateng - Contento
Tymo - Schweinsteiger
Robben - Kroos - Ribéry
Gómez
