You know what the strange thing is? Ahead of that final, loads of general football fans and even I had begrudging respect for the football they played and the way they got to the final.

It should have been a celebration of their achievements in that competition this season. Instead, they've found a way to totally embarrass themselves in every way possible and snatch humiliation from the jaws of respect.

Just outstanding.

I always thought they were way over rated (4th is 4th...you get there by not being the best and finishing a street behind the champions) and obvious (United and Chelsea and a hand full of "lesser clubs" figured them out easily enough).

They're just Rodgers lot with better PR (heavy metal football, big balls football, gegenpress yada yada yada).

They'll fall away badly next season.

I just meant their European campaign mate - the Blitzkrieg football that the foreigners couldn't cope with and the winners mentality that the nouveau riche mentality of City couldn't cope with.

Domestically, any half decent side contains them for half an hour and allows them to implode afterward like Madrid did to them, as they know the score.

They deserved to be in that final, but they also deserve every ounce of backlash they get from their showing and behaviour in that final too.

They had a weak group to qualify from and then dream KO round draws. Yes, they dispatched City well enough overall (glaring errors from officials aside) but they faced no Euro-elite team (for me: Barca, Madrid, Bayern, Juventus) until the final itself.

Credit, yes, because you can only beat what's put in front of you. However, they led a charmed existence until they had no other team to face than an elite one.
 

Courtois has been giving his opinion as a goalkeeper who suffered concussion during a match and basically agrees with everyone else that it’s total bollocks.

I tell you what, the RS are vile and incredibly irritating, but when they go wrong, it’s spectacular and extremely entertaining. It just shows what classless divvies they are. Any other club would’ve accepted that they got beat fair and square by a superior team and moved on.

Yes, just read that, Kroos has had his say too.

I never want this week to end. Please please please RS, just one more beauty, just one more absolutely laughable statement. There will be one, I just know it.
