The Gamers Arms

...and that's it, mathematically it's over the champs are the champs and all three in the drop zone are gone with three games to go, all the more reason to check out the Polish football overnight with three matches starting 10.30pm on Freesports before the English playoffs and finals that are just going to be online at best if I don't end up just listening to the matches on Five Live, if we're lucky all of us non-Sky people might get one of the Euro finals streamed to Youtube.

Well as it turned out I could've streamed the Europa League final at the same time as listening to the lot of it on Five Live but since that penalty drama was torture, I didn't mind just having it to watch all by itself on an off-air Youtube stream after the Champions League final just turned into 90 minutes of injuries and maybe two decent chances each with the one converted to the goal.

Clearly both sides watched the Europa Final and decided no way did anyone want Extra Time and neither side appeared to be slackening off or running themselves ragged as can happen when Extra Time gets involved - in the end the 7 mins due to injuries felt like proper extra time by itself - but in the end the 25-35 second delay between BT Sport on Youtube and the radio through my TV didn't actually detract from the atmosphere, there were only two moments where the crowd tipped off the radio audience before seeing what happened on the screen.

But that's it! Season over and aside from seeing those Championship playoff highlights from Quest to see who's into the Premier League, roll on the Euros in a fortnight.

Former Spurs player Christan Eriksen just collapsed in Denmark's match against Finland. Received CPR on the field, wasn't watching but understand it was very distressing scenes. Sounding like it was cardiac arrest, hope he's going to be ok.

Hope he's ok....didn't look good, why they didn't cut back to the studio I don't know, some prurient direction going on there tbh.

Apparently he was awake and breathing when they stretchered him off... thank goodness.

That's great news

Uefa just put out a statement he has been transferred to hospital and stabilised.

England then? So I should say outright I care nothing for the beautiful game, today's match was probably the first I have watched since we were knocked out of the last world cup. So with that in mind...

Wasn't very impressive. Sterling's goal notwithstanding the team played out of their skins then died a death early on. Once we scored the tactics went to shit, with the team booting the ball up the field straight to the opposition again and again, and I reckon they were lucky not to concede a goal. Plus why did Southgate hold his reserves for so bloody long, you can't bring someone on with 10 mins to go and expect them to make a difference, bring them earlier and give them a fighting chance and changing the game.

Still, least we won. I shall now maintain a vague interest until England are knocked out.

best game so far is Holland v Ukraine. Amazing.

Scotland played like shit today

We call those days matchdays.

Micah Richards BBC commentor is bloody aweful. I would happy pay her not to say anything. Very much put to comment the C matches.
