Last time they won it they wore yellow, so I assumed it was a nod to that rather than anything politically motivated.

Well, that was eventful! Not quite as riveting as the LC final was, but same result. Well played, both teams.

Probably in the contract with their kit/strip suppliers that the away yellow has to be worn in certain matches.
Sometimes change strips 'clash' more than clubs home strips.🤔

Willie Collum could have livened things up a bit.
I know you're only supposed to comment on here if it's about Stenhousemuir Reserves or someone but fuque the begrudgers, it's always great to see your team win another trophy even when you need binoculars in that midden of a stadium.
Some of our troops are going hors de combat now as the rigours of a long campaign are starting to take effect but they can't take awards away from them.
This kid's 23 and has won it all now while the boss has won everything English football has to offer. Another three games but there are two more trophies to add, one likely, the other not so. One versus the oiligarchs (yes, I did spell it correctly) and the other against the Spanish King's team.
I'm up so early so I can get a ride in before a morning of kids football at Bolton Wanderers stadium and an afternoon of classical music at the Liverpool Phil. Which should be nice.

If you're not happy about Liverpool being discussed on the same thread as non existent football teams maybe you should start an exclusive thread. I reckon it would be marginally less popular than NCAP.
I don't begrudge another team's success, but my view of how those successes are appreciated (or perceived to be accepted) is tempered by the fans' reactions that I have exposure to, and those that you get from the media.
It wasn't much of a game yesterday really, though played at breakneck speed and with some sublime pieces of individual and team skill to enjoy.
I felt the teams cancelled each other out for large parts, Liverpool the quicker with a more all out attack approach, Chelsea felt a bit more solid and great on the break. Penalties was probably the fairest way to decide the tie given how evenly matched the sides were and Liverpool worthy of their victory in the end.
PS - Trent and Jürgen still have to add the Community Shield for all the domestic honours at that level.

Which I think is why so many enjoy watching Utd fail. A little bit of humility in victory goes a very long way.
In other news I'll be keeping a watchful eye on the National League from 3.00pm. A good friend is a lifelong County fan and it's all to play for at the top. With both Halifax and Dagenham & Redbridge playing for points the top two will need to be on form and up for it.

CFC played in yellow as he (Tuchel) thought it was his lucky colour - he had had some success with Dortmund when they played in a yellow strip.
Decent match from two teams running on empty after 61 matches for the season.
Happy with the fact that after a very difficult season for the club that we have remained unbeaten in open play (4 games and approximately 420 minutes) against one of the two best teams in England and possibly Europe.
New owners, fresh investment and the future looks even brighter...

Exactly. I don't resent any club any success, and winning is a wonderful feeling regardless of whichever team you support.
It does make me laugh when supporters of "big" clubs have a go at their rivals' equally wealthy and despicable but by different means and in different ways.

Seems strange to me, but I'm sure there's a reason, thanks. 👍

I seem to remember as a boy, both FA and SFA were on the same day.
