Great goal by Bale , horror show by the goalie , and usual disgraceful cheating by Ramos . I love the WC but that’s the kind of cheatfest it also is to often . Anything to win now

The old joke was the stand at Maine Road should have been built the other way around facing Moss Side because you’d see more shooting.

Exactly the same as Nigel Spink

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a keeper crack like that before on such a big stage TWICE!! Real were and are a better team than us but the difference was those two mistakes. Bale’s first goal was amazing and nothing could be done about that. But the defence especially was magnificent blunting Ronaldo to a peripheral role. The midfield tried hard but had nowhere near enough quality to match Kroos, Modric and whilst the attack caused problems, the loss of Salah and a deeper Real back line blunted their effectiveness. So so disappointed as we held our own and it was down to those two horrendous mistakes by Karius. He’ll certainly need support from the club over the next few days, weeks and months as he cost he club a shot at winner the biggest club trophy in the world; he knew it too.

And sadly I’m old enough to remember it well ! That was a good team . Gordon Cowans was a silky player , Withe Morley and Shaw

I watched on You Tube on the tube and in the pub after Fulham s great win at Wembley. I think we will do well in the Premier League next season if we keep. Sess ,Cairney and Mitro and add four or five proven Premier League players.

Thanks for the messages and good wishes everyone I’d be telling lies if I said I was ok, but I’m only down not out.

Only just seen the goals from the final... Oh boy Karius will need a bit of help after that...

BBC traffic reports. BBC London were saying "the A13 is all open now with free flowing traffic". Really? While I'm sitting in a queue on it trying to get off the thing into Barking with huge queues? 50 minutes later I'd moved 200m and BBC London were saying "earlier problems all resolved and no queues". What were they doing? Just making it up because their budgets were cut and they were relying on a report from Dave the Builder who got through by driving along the cycle path? It took me 4 hours to get from Ipswich to Barking. The first 60 miles took a few minutes over an hour, the last 5 miles took 3 hours... No problems there though according to BBC London.
