It's part of the rights deal that it cant be behind a pay wall.

Kane coming back for final. Big mistake?

I started using Grammarly as a Chrome extension today, can choose between British, American, Australian and Canadian English. Dothraki is not yet a choice ?. Brilliant spellchecker and for Grammar. 

May even go for the full Windows version, the free one!

Mistake. He's not match fit. It matters not how many training sessions completed he'll be off the pace.

Edit; cue hat trick next week.

For me, he never seems to play well in pressure games and with his lack of sharpness, they would be crackers to start him

I agree. Have him on the subs bench and bring him on if desperate.

He can be anonymous in games as he is a player who needs service to do well.

Joining the queue to get egg on my face, but yes. I think it would be a huge error of judgement on Spurs' part if Kane were to start.

Ya, I used to have that set up. Must re-download! 

[Oldgregg86]

If kane is fit he has to start imo

[SBlue]

He’s one of the best strikers in the world!

Bloody well start him!

[roverandout]

Hope he starts because we need him for the nation's league.

Shows our domestic papers up with an excellent article from the good ol' U S of A

[speeeeeeedie]

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game.

Klopp has lost 6 finals in a row and Spurs are Spurs. It's anyone's game.

Despite the usual doom, gloom, and complaining on here I'm happy that the final is being contested by 2 English teams. 

[DeeCee]

Think it will be memorable for many reasons, either team wins, massive headlines!

[Mattyblue]

The fact they play their football in this country means nothing to me.

But of course come on Tottenham, I can’t be doing with another 2005, the single use plastic will be unbearable.

[Stuart]

I’m hoping they both lose.

[joey_big_nose]

Spurs have won one FA cup and two league cups in the last 35 years. They've only ever won the league twice in history.

The possibility that they could win the CL tonight is absolutely mental.

Seeing Arsenal battered by Chelsea in a major European final, followed by winning the biggest prize in club football after decades of mediocrity. If they manage it that will be one hell of a week for Spurs fans.

I live next to Tottenham and it will be absolutely unbearable.

[matt83]

Spurs fans will no doubt be unbearable but thankfully don’t see many outside the Home Counties. So in Lancs sheltered by it somewhat. But if Liverpool win not only will their fans who attend games be 1000x worse than spurs fans but worse still the Liverpool fans in every town, city and village across the uk who couldn’t point to Anfield on a map will be truly intolerable. 

[arbitro]

I'd like them both to lose!

For me it would be marginally better if the Cockneys won. As many have said it would be insufferable with all those pseudo scouse types dusting off their Crown Paints and Candy sponsored shirts and proclaiming to never miss a game. Conversely the 'I would go but can't get a ticket' brigade will be bloody annoying too.

[Mattyblue]

Man Utd and their ‘fans’, I find, just think they support a massive club that historically has won a lot. Fair enough, you are still a sad individual that should be supporting your local club, but OK.

Liverpool fans have this earnest view that they are some kind of mythical, almost spiritual club that does ‘things differently’, of ‘Shanks’, ‘the Boot Room’, ‘the working class’, ‘the Liverpool way’, ‘Scouse, not English’ (Even the non Scouse ones), a ‘Latin Club’ (under Rafa) and on it goes.

In reality their late 70s and 80s domination has just created two generations of plastics across the country that feeds these myths, that our pathetic media eggs on.

Burnley aside, no club comes close for vitriol from me. As you can tell!

COYS.

First European game of football on TV I ever saw was the final between Real Madrid and Eintract Frankfurt but I won't be watching tonight. It's a disgrace that it's not on BBC1 or ITV.  So it's  " Inspector Montalbano " for me on BBC 4.

Sod it, I will own up to being very excited by the prospect of tonight's Final.

I know after those two semis its probably odds on being a bore fest but both sides are set up to attack and counter attack at pace.

Spurs will be heartened more by what they did to Citeh than their Lazarus act in Amsterdam.

I admire both mangers immensely and the teams are packed with players who get you off your seat when on the ball.

Damn it- I think it will be a classic- either a high scoring pulsating game or Liverpool thrashing Spurs in style.
