I was cautiously optimistic that we had the set up to keep up with PSG.. but I did not see a match coming where PSG couldn’t keep up with us 👀

Add another trophy to the cabinet. 2 trophies in 12 months for Maresca. Can’t say I saw that coming.

The WORLD is blue 💙

Wild. The trophy celebration with him refusing to leave the stage was wilder. Chelsea had to edit him out of the celebration picture.

They didn’t edit him out. He’s still there in the back row beside Cole Palmer. Infantino tried to get him to exit stage left after he presented the trophy, and then came back and shuffled him into the background when he didn’t leave.

Maybe not the greatest news if you support one of the Big Six, but ultimately this should be good for the game overall. Should almost certainly forever put to bed any talk of a Super League, or at least one involving English teams.

I technically support a ‘Big 6’ club and I don’t have a problem with that.

I was completely against the Super League as well when it was proposed.

It was a different photo I saw but now that I just went back to find it I see it was one of the supporter groups not the main Chelsea account.

Forgot the EPL summer series was at MetLife today. Tickets have come down quite a bit, but 6 hours at MetLife in July doesn’t sound appealing.

Officially no longer a Big 6 club.

I like Frank, but a typical window for Spurs.

Never liked the media moniker anyway since everything is always in flux. We’ve got a nice stadium and a European trophy. That’ll have to do for a while.

The MGW saga was typical Tottenham. Of course the first time Levy tries to spend money, this happens. Would’ve preferred Eze to him anyway but now it’s likely too late to convince him to come.

Ended up exactly like the Olise saga. Forest must have paid attention to how Crystal Palace played it.

It was similar, that’s for sure. My guess is they bullied him into a new contract threatening him and his agent with legal action for the leak. Only he knows for sure.

Sucks for him since this is a WC year and Maddison and (likely) Eze will be playing in the Champions League so he’ll probably lose out on a spot. Palmer and Foden are basically locks so I’d guess they’ll only take one more AM after them.

Palhinha on loan for €30m with an option to buy is pretty good business at the 6.

Combine that with a win over the red team from across town and it’s been a solid day.

@bleedorange0037 or any others who may know - any suggestions on where to secure premier league tickets? In the past I’ve used Livefootballtickets.com or gone through hospitality. I’m a member of the club, but don’t have enough goodwill to secure tickets through the club. Just didn’t know if any alternative sites, etc. have popped up since I last jumped over the pond for a match.

Honestly not really sure which direction to point you here. I’m not familiar with LFC’s ticketing procedures, but from what I’ve heard it doesn’t sound very easy to get them through the traditional channels. Obviously you could probably buy hospitality, but that will be pricey and probably less fun than sitting out with the commoners. I’d be skeptical of third party sites since reselling tickets is technically illegal there.

Thanks for your input. I've had success through Livefootballtickets.com before for LFC (albeit a bit “sketchier”). I’ll peruse some LFC sites. Been a few years since I’ve been able to jump across.

I’ve really been quite fortunate. Other than the second half of last season as Goodison was about to close, Everton tickets aren’t THAT hard to come by once you learn the process. But also, over the years I’ve managed to make several local contacts and at this point if I can’t get one direct from the club, they normally know of someone who isn’t going that week and has a spare I can use. I initially met them all from posting a request for tickets on an Everton forum that has a thread for people buying/selling tickets. I imagine RAWK (I tried to look, but can’t even access the forum without signing up, lol) or some other LFC forum would have something similar. Also there may a Twitter account for people with spare tickets. At least worth looking into IMO.

Also, I didn’t mention this originally, but it looks like LFC have a ticket exchange similar to Everton. With you being a member you should have access to it. There will probably be an initial sale where everything that has been listed early will get snapped up, but in the days/weeks leading up to the match other people who can’t make the game will list them here and there. Just keep checking the website. That’s how I ended up getting a ticket for the final Derby at Goodison last year. I probably checked the site every 15 minutes for 2-3 weeks before I finally hit the jackpot and got one. A little persistence can pay off.

If I was taking a vacation to the UK and wanted to see an EPL game there, how would/should I go about getting tickets?
