Azerbaijan is also hosting games in next year's European championships. It also hosted the Eurovision song contest recently.

The Champions league final is in Madrid. The Europa league final is in the Baku Olympic stadium.

I don't think the continental teams can cope against the intensity of the English sides anymore. Additionally the best managers are here whereas at one time they were the ones preventing the premier league clubs from winning. Also it's the first final for 6 years without Ronaldo or Messi. Without them at full ability the English pressing game is now very dominant.

It's been an amazing 3 days of football. I was pleased for Spurs as I like teams that haven't made the final before. However it was sad to see the disappointment for the Ajax players and crowd at the end. Fortunately I managed to watch on a stream tonight. Still Sunday to cone this week also.

It's very emotional football. I would have been very upset if the result had been different last night. I am glad you enjoyed it.

You were right. Well done. ? The early goal and crowd were important. We couldn't get out BT stream going so had to follow by text.

Will you be watching the game tonight? What do you think will happen? It will be difficult with Salah and out. I remember 3-0 leads being overturned though.

That used to be the case before the semi finals were held at Wembley Jon. Recently Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal have all returned tickets for sale in semi finals. The stadium wasnt anywhere near full for Hull v Sheffield United a few years ago either, 2 clubs that don't visit Wembley often. Not sure about Liverpool but they haven't won many domestic trophies recently? Seriously I think it is the loss if prestige in the FA cup, similar to the challenge cup.

I think also the behaviour of City fans is generally better than that of certain other clubs. That is far more important than selling allocations.

It was a fitting goal to win such an important game. It was tense watching especially at 0-0. It was more relief when they scored.

How was the game and atmosphere? At one stage Notts County were safe I think? Did they bring many supporters?

Emiliano Sala's father died of a heart attack, 3 months after his son's plane crash. I saw this on the bbc website today and thought it was so sad.

It was a great professional performance from City. Clinical finishing and just kept the ball afterwards.

72.12 this weekend please Shadow. The reduction might not last as I go to Edinburgh for a week so I will eat more there. However there is daily access to a gym to counter this. Won't be any Rugby league unfortunately ?

Hopefully Man Utd will be as bad as they were today?

City recovered well today. I watched the game on Sky. A bit close for comfort but just 4 wins needed now.

In 1988 PSV Eindhoven won without winning a match from the Quarter Final stage. All 4 games were draws, 0-0 or 1-1 which were won on away goals except the final which at 0-0 went to penalties. I saw the final on tv.

Gym today. 72.57 That's back to how I began before putting on weight. It seems to be related to eaten less.

I remember my dad taped this song when I was a boy. I've liked it since. The words are amazing.?

Thanks I will watch. There are some very strong teams there. I like Tenerife and Mallorca, they used to play in La Liga but so did a lot of the clubs.

I watch the Scottish Championship games on Fridays now. No racism there. No real cheating or diving or offside goals and debatable penalties exxlusively for the top teams.

74.39 again at the gym. Yesterday I got weighed with clothes at the doctors and was 75.02 but the gym is without clothes so better.

Hi Shadow and all. I went to the gym again today. Same weight 74.39. It's definitely a good incentive knowing the weight is written up in the table. It's kept me active and healthy again?

I read that Leroy Sane received similar abuse from his own fans last week. I really can't understand this. Of course he has since been outstanding in the game against Holland so well done to him for responding so well.

I went to the gym Saturday and today. 74.39 kilograms so going in the right direction again. Thanks Shadow.
