Come On You Reds

[Ken4155]

After the season they've had, it would be a travesty if Liverpool did not capture the Champion's League trophy tonight and i really believe they will. If Harry Kane is passed fit to play, surely his match fitness will mean he is less effective than is the norm. If he doesn't play, will Spurs have enough of a goal threat to match that which Liverpool possess - in spades.
It could be a very tense, very edgy and bad tempered affair, with hardly any goalmouth action but, being the eternal optimist, i am hopeful it will be a match worth watching and that both teams will score. The Reds have beaten Spurs 2-1 in both home and away matches this season and i can see the same happening here. So, @ 15/2, i have had a fiver on with Bet 365 which qualifies me for an 'in-play' bet to the same value. So, i can always switch allegiance anytime during the match, should it prove necessary.
I have also taken advantage of Willy Hill's generous 12/1 for Sadio Mane to score and Liverpool to win either 2-1 or 3-1. Just hope he lines up.

Come on you Spurs!

Come On You Reds Nope, not those ones ;-)

[Ken4155]

Couldn't resist the bait, could you Arky :-) :-) :-)

[Arksided]

I Consider myself reeled in ;-)

[Patsy33]

It's going to be an exciting match. My husband supports Spurs, my one son and his mate support Liverpool!

[Ken4155]

You refereeing then, Patsy :-)

I know you like a punt, Ken, but I haven't seen a mention of the cricket World Cup anyhere. Don't know what their odds are, but if I was going to have a bet it would be on New Zealand......

[Arksided]

I have no great fondness of either club... except thanks for Teddy and Carrick... I just simply don't want L'pool to win... so its obvious who'll I'll be getting behind.

[Tilly2]

To Dare is to Do.

The Lilywhites for the cup!

[Ken4155]

Not a cricket fan, gg (in fact, according to one of my Captains in the army, i was the most unEnglish Englishman he had ever met :-) One sport which i can honestly say i've never had a bet on.
You can get 10/1 about NZ winning - PaddyPower and Betfair

[Patsy33]

No, I won't Ken. They are in different houses!

[Ken4155]

Just seen the line ups and Kane plays. Bit of a surprise really considering they qualified without him. Thought they may have used him as an 'impact' sub. Doesn't alter my opinion about the outcome, though, he played in both defeats this season and couldn't find the onion bag.

[Ken4155]

Just emptied my Sky account (all £3.67p of it) on a boosted 6/1 for both Kane and Salah to have at least 2 shots each on target. Think i have the game well and truly covered, now :-)

[Arksided]

I'm surprised Kane is to start, surely not full match ready, and the games I've watched without him I think Spurs played better football.

I'd have rather have seen Liverpool rather than Man City win the Prem, but I'd rather see Spurs win tonight. Ignoring the fact I'm a Londoner (but not a Spurs supporter - I'm a Charlton supporter, and what a great game that was last week!), I'd rather Spurs win as the 'plucky underdog', plus I think Liverpool will win the Prem next year and it's the Prem I think they really want.

Just had a look and (if you've got a 4K TV with the Youtube app) BT Sport is streaming the final for free in very nice UHD - may even watch a bit of it ...

[Barmaid]

Ive had 3 Spurs supporters here this afternoon. One of them set up to TV so Mr BM (die hard Yid) could watch it. Now it wont work. Thankfully he has found it on You Tube.

I am going to sit in the garden and drink cucumber gin and provide solace where needed.

But secretly I love Harry Kane, and I'd like to see THFC come thru. Plus of course then my luck might be in ;)

[sunny-dave]

So you'll be hoping Spurs field their new Welsh/Ukranian signing ...

[Tilly2]

He'll be really down if they don't win, BM. Same here.
