Weekend Football Thread 6th-9th

[SincereTheRebel]

Forget about the other fixtures this weekend.

Wolves had to travel to Cardiff. 1st vs 2nd in the league. Nevas with a monster free kick putting wolves 1-0 up. Cardiff have a penalty awarded in the last minute which is saved by John Ruddy. Cardiff are then awarded another penalty which hits the woodwork. Wolves win 1-0.

One step closer to the premier league.

[John]

Warnock telling the Wolves manager to fuck off was good.

[Giggles]

Warnock telling the Wolves manager to fuck off was good.

Not in hindsight when he's gone and lost.

[John]

It was after the game when the Wolves manager went to shake his hand.

[Giggles]

Ah. That's worse the fucking twat :D

[SincereTheRebel]

It was after the game when the Wolves manager went to shake his hand.

Nuno didn't try to shake his hand. He took off in wild celebrations with his players and complete ignored Mr Burns.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Can't believe our thriller in the making isn't being included in the marketing for DERBY WEEKEND.

[Giggles]

Saturday

Everton v Liverpool (Sky) - 12:30
Bournemouth v Palace
Brighton v Huddersfield
Leicester v Newcastle
Stoke v Tottenham
Watford v Burnley
West Brom v Swansea
Man City v Man Utd (Sky) - 17:30

Sunday

:moop:

Is that a mistake or do Sky really have the 17:30 Saturday game?

[Pleb]

Must be a one off because DERBY DAY!!!

[Giggles]

Wolves play some lovely stuff.

[Baz]

C’mon Stoke. :flex:

[Kikó]

Let today be over quickly.

[niko_cee]

Off to Brighton again today. Feels like a big one. If they play like they did last week (and Murray is less of a spaz) they should be alright. Hopefully.

[Spikey M]

The only way this season can be saved from being one of the most boring ever, is for City to somehow let it slip from this position.

Unless that lets Liverpool win the league, in which case, fuck no. But I don’t think that’s mathematically possible anyway.

[-james-]

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that City letting it slip from here would be by far the biggest upset in the history of sport.

[Spikey M]

It would take 7 straight losses from them and 7 straight wins from United. It ain’t happening, but the scenes if it did. :drool:

Mourinho would literally turn himself inside out, he’d be that far up his own arsehole.

[Lewis]

It's pretty lol how much Everton Twitter hates Big Sam. I don't think I've ever such SEETHE for a manager not battling away in the bottom three.

[Giggles]

They're safe now and the fans are realising that safe is as good as it'll ever get under him.

[niko_cee]

Strong vote of confidence in Moreno to play an injured 30-something journeyman centre-half at left-back.

Unless there's some sort of wingback ruse with Milner on the left in the offing.

[Gray Fox]

Good to finally see Clyne back. A bit shit we've been without him and Lallana for pretty much the whole season.

I'm not really all that bothered about the game today if I'm honest. I'd like to see Ings or Solanke net one even so. No injuries is the name of the game.

[Waffdon]

Not arsed about a Derby. Wot

[Spikey M]

They all sit around wanking each other off. It’s a shit Derby.

[Lewis]

They're safe now and the fans are realising that safe is as good as it'll ever get under him.

They would have taken that every season for most of my life. Roberto Martinez has spoiled them. :harold:

[phonics]

They were 13th when he took over people act like he's done a relegation job.

[Lewis]

And now they're ninth. Progress.

[Waffdon]

Rooney is a pathetic passer of the ball.

[Gray Fox]

Not arsed about a Derby. Wot

Everton have nothing really to play for. Liverpool are 10 points ahead of 5th as it stands. Home games against Bournemouth, Stoke, Brighton and away to Chelsea and West Brom to come. In the grand scheme of things this game means nothing unless Chelsea win 7 on the run.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The standard of this game is terrible. Still, respect the point and all that.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Ings has clearly said something very naughty there. Never seen Coleman angry.

[CJay]

Solanke is awful. I've watched him or 70 minutes here and I can't even point out what his strengths are. He's just been presented with two great chances to get a shot away but he's too slow and lumbering to take them.

Ings is a Championship player.

[Lewis]

Ings has clearly said something very naughty there. Never seen Coleman angry.

Football (and the country actually) could really do with an anti-Irish racism story right about now.

'The people of Burnley voted overwhelmingly for Brexit, and two years on...'

[Ian]

Was Solanke even notably good for the England under-whatevers or was he just present and able to score some goals as part of a good team?

[Waffdon]

Everton really don’t want to win a Derby.

[Giggles]

Football (and the country actually) could really do with an anti-Irish racism story right about now.

'The people of Burnley voted overwhelmingly for Brexit, and two years on...'

Burnley are probably worse than that.

[Spikey M]

Everton really don’t want to win a Derby.

Do Liverpool?

[Waffdon]

Pickford tries to kick the ball as hard as he can every time.

[Waffdon]

Do Liverpool?

Everton haven’t won in about a decade.

[Spikey M]

Everton haven’t won in about a decade.

I am aware of that. I’d doesn’t excuse Liverpool putting out a team like this. Imagine if it was done in any other Derby.

[SincereTheRebel]

I don't know what it is, but left footed small players (the elite ones) play with some much flair. 20 minutes gone in this juventus game and dybala is just ghosting past players smashing them into top corners.

[Giggles]

That makes it official now at least doesn't it?

[John Arne]

I am aware of that. I’d doesn’t excuse Liverpool putting out a team like this. Imagine if it was done in any other Derby.

To be fair we have a good excuse for testing a few players.

[Spikey M]

To be fair we have a good excuse for testing a few players.

In a Derby? Bull shit. There’s no way he’d have played that team against United even if it was a game of little real consequence.

[Gray Fox]

Solanke had 3 great chances there, but we're now nearly at the end of the season and as far as I'm aware he's yet to score for us. He runs about a lot, but you expect that of a young player.

Bit of a shame Everton didn't want to try until the 85th. Liverpool looked to have switched off by then too.

[John Arne]

In a Derby? Bull shit. There’s no way he’d have played that team against United even if it was a game of little real consequence.

That's because Man Utd are better than Everton. I don't see the problem. Big champions league game coming up, not much to play for in the league, Everton are shit... So why not rest 4 or 5 players? It's not ideal with it being a derby, but in the grand scheme of things, it's a relatively meaningless game.

[Spikey M]

I can’t think of another Derby where their fans or the team would have that attitude. Shambles.

[Lewis]

The Friendly Derby mate.

[Giggles]

I keep forgetting an actual Premier League club gave Paul Lambert a job. Do they not want to be one any more?

[SincereTheRebel]

Bayern have just won a 6th bundesliga in a row.

[Lewis]

Ander Herrera is BACK, so let's see which pleb he trolls into a red card (probably himself).

[Jimmy Floyd]

Burnley are so good that I think the xG crowd are going to have to accept that maximising your results from xG is in itself a trait.

[Shindig]

Safe as houses. This is some proper Pearson-esque form.

[Lewis]

United ought to be winning this with those City absences. Definitely not losing anyway.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Millwall are taking the piss at the moment. Haven't lost a league game since 1 January and are right on the edge of the playoffs.

[John]

Pogba turning up for the derby with sky blue and white hair has to be a poor effort at trolling.

[SincereTheRebel]

Valencia looks stronger every time I see him.

[Waffdon]

Hahahahaha, handy timing.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Smalling back to Fulham or Margate or wherever he came from.

[Lewis]

If he survives the summer there should be a crowdfund white Fiat Uno.

[Waffdon]

First time there’s been an atmosphere here since their last league win.

[Waffdon]

Dortmund Gundogan :drool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

Who is pullovers looking up at in the crowd every time they score? Is Puigdemont hiding disguised as Mike Summerbee?

[Mike]

The ‘best goalkeeper in the world’ giving the ball away for the second made it even better :D

[Lewis]

That's not how ironic quotes work.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Pogba is a lazy cunt. They should get rid ASAP.

[Lewis]

If he survives the summer there should be a crowdfund white Fiat Uno.

Then again, he isn't far off a testimonial, so it might be worth having that for the same reason people commemorate genocides.

[niko_cee]

Odds on City qualifying on Tuesday have dropped quite a bit during the half.

Considering how dreadful United are, Jose's (inevitable) trademark meltdown is going to be brilliant whenever it happens.

[Lewis]

Do they get the trophy today, or is there some weird corporate rule about having to make the next game (final game?) a procession once it's official?

[niko_cee]

May 6th is what I'd read.

[Lewis]

That's a shame. The complex Mourinho is trying to impart on the club could have done with a victory parade.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was lovely.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pogba :drool:

[Lewis]

Quality move bringing Paulp Ogba on.

[Waffdon]

I love this game

[Jimmy Floyd]

Perhaps an adidas executive came into the dressing room at half time and threatened to pull him from their next campaign.

[Lewis]

Martin Tyler: 'It could be a Sergio Aguero moment. Didn't that finish 3-2 in 2012?'
Gary Neville: *doesn't dignify it with a response*
Martin Tyler: '(laughing) You know it did.'

[Lewis]

Testimonial lads.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck those powder blue cunts.

[Magic]

:moop:

[Jimmy Floyd]

This is dreadful news as Mourinho's successful attempts to turn all the hordes of United fans into 9/11 truther style morons is vindicated.

[Lewis]

City's spending can't melt Ashley Young.

[Lewis]

That's the most blatant penalty you'll ever see.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Got the ball.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Referee was fooled by the ball moving. They don't actually look at what happens, they give decisions on what they expect to happen.

Young, Fernandinho (10-15 match ban) and Pogba should all be off.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lee Dixon on NBC is adamant that it wasn't a penalty. Lol.

[Danny]

He is a City fan too, so thats surprising.

[Lewis]

982681060042592257
982681073216884736

How both accounts covered it. Polarisation mate. We need a new centrist football account.

[Jimmy Floyd]

You get the sense Sterling could have had 90 this season if he was actually clinical.

Kevin de Bruyne's bottom looking rather ample today, has he been eating a few bowls of moules frites?

[John]

He's been a tragic waste of Lucozade in this game.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lol at that shot of City fans celebrating.

[Danny]

The ‘best goalkeeper in the world’ giving the ball away for the second made it even better :D

That save was for you.

[Lewis]

Congratulations Jose Mourinho on winning the real quiz.

[-james-]

It would take 7 straight losses from them and 7 straight wins from United. It ain’t happening, but the scenes if it did. :drool:

Mourinho would literally turn himself inside out, he’d be that far up his own arsehole.

It's on.

[Kikó]

That is fucking BEAUTIFUL

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The match stats :drool:

[John]

Lol at the City fans crying there.

[Lewis]

This coverage lasts until half eight. I bet they had a MASSIVE City highlights package ready to go.

[Kikó]

Means a week of Pep twitching like a cunt as he's fuming over the last two results.

[Lewis]

Mourinho reluctantly making a passionate defence of himself here. Selfless management.

[SvN]

Pogba is a lazy cunt. They should get rid ASAP.
:)

[Ian]

I didn't see the game because my dad is an idiot but had a good lol at the result once I saw it.

Not that it fucking matters but whatever, you've got to take these small-time victories over Pep where you can.

[Lewis]

Geoff Shreeves nearly got himself laid out there.

[Shindig]

Small time? He's lost two on the bounce.

[Spikey M]

The only way this season can be saved from being one of the most boring ever, is for City to somehow let it slip from this position.

Unless that lets Liverpool win the league, in which case, fuck no. But I don’t think that’s mathematically possible anyway.

Lads. Lads.

[randomlegend]

Pogba is a class player and once this team becomes actually functional he'll be incredible.

Our biggest problem at the moment is our fullbacks. They are one of the most important positions in football these days and when you're fielding fucking Ashley Young and (as much as I love him) Antonio Valencia every week you're never going to be world beaters.

[Lewis]

People moan at Paulp Ogba coming deep all the time, but if he didn't they would probably just pass it nervously between themselves and the 'keeper all night.

[Giggles]

Coming deep is ok if you know when to do it and where to be. He looks like someone doing it because he's been told he has to, but he's never going to be a player ro consistently run things in the middle.

[Shindig]

So Lascalles should be on the plane, right?

[Gray Fox]

We're well into the territory now.

Any English player that has one good game. GET HIM ON THE PLANE!

[Shindig]

Fine, we'll stick with Gary Cahill, Chris Smalling and Kyle Walker. I'm sure they'll do fine. Lascalles has been great all season.

[randomlegend]

I've just watched the highlights. Sterling must be infuriating to have on your team. His movement and everything is fantastic to make so many chances but he literally can't kick a ball.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I honestly think coaches/whoever must overlook ball striking these days. So many supposedly top, top players are just awful at it, whether it be finishing or set piece taking.

[Lewis]

When you see the chances back you wonder whether he was overly mindful of Dave Gayer (remember this (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/30366041) game), because he seemed to be deliberately going for the top corners rather just slicing them outrageously. Speaking of which, Gayer is the third best player in the world. Discuss.

[Ian]

Just watching MOTD. Whoever that was who got skinned by the Macho Man must have felt a bit miffed.

[randomlegend]

Speaking of which, Gayer is the third best player in the world. Discuss.

I'd have him 4th I think.

3) Messi

2) Ronaldo

1) Eric Bailly

[Ian]

You've ranked Bailly too low there.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Goalkeepers can't be the best anything. If you had a competent central defence he would do half the work he does, and then who cares.

It's a completely reactive position, no goalkeeper has ever won a game (except Chilavert, Rogerio Ceni and Jimmy Glass).

[Ian]

They can probably be the best goalkeepers.

So long as John O'Shea isn't about, obviously.

[Spoonsky]

Goalkeepers can't be the best anything. If you had a competent central defence he would do half the work he does, and then who cares.

It's a completely reactive position, no goalkeeper has ever won a game (except Chilavert, Rogerio Ceni and Jimmy Glass).

You of all people.

I mean, I get it. They can't usually put you in a winning position, only keep you there.

[Giggles]

The scally journalist on Sunday Supplement doing his best hedging to put all the blame for the bottle/rock throwing on the cops. They really are a scummy hive mind all of their own.

[Ian]

I always love that argument with fan related arseholery. "But where were the police!?!" Get in the sea, moron.

[phonics]

Hope Reiss Nelson can impose himself on the game today. Outside of that I don't care.

[Kikó]

Inter messed up again.

[phonics]

Reiss Nelson just embarrassed Tadic with his first bit of possession and immediately got a bunch of studs down the back of his calf in return. Welcome to the league.

[Bob Sacamano]

Carrillo might go down as one of the worst premier league signings, it was obvious that he was gonna be another Boselli.

[Waffdon]

That was embarrassing from Mustafi.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Shane Long is a don. Should move to a top team. Stretch that defence.

[Foe]

Is mustafi still a Germany squad member?

I don't think there's been a worse centre back this year.

[Giggles]

Shane Long is a don. Should move to a top team. Stretch that defence.

He hasn't gone and scored has he? That's about 2 in 2 years then.

[Lewis]

I thought 'Reiss Nelson' was that German one they were all raving about in pre-season a while back, but that turns out to be 'Gedion Zelalem'. You lose track.

[Giggles]

I always forget Lingard V1.0 exists. He surely needs the door at Arsenal at this stage too.

[phonics]

Danny Welbeck missing that open goal followed by scoring that header is very on-brand.

Wilshere has been absolute turd since coming on. He looks like he's drunk.

[SincereTheRebel]

I always forget Lingard V1.0 exists. He surely needs the door at Arsenal at this stage too.

Didn't rashford come before jesse?

[Giggles]

Didn't rashford come before jesse?

Rashford will probably amount to something.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'd start Welbeck at the World Cup. His unselfish play could really bring the likes of Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain into the game.

[SincereTheRebel]

Rashford will probably amount to something.

He should. Same was said about walcott, oxlade, etc.

[phonics]

Lol what is happening.

[SincereTheRebel]

I'd start Welbeck at the World Cup. His unselfish play could really bring the likes of Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain into the game.

Surely there is someone else to play out wide other than walcott. Sterling on one side and put jesse on the other unless I'm missing a player.

[phonics]

982998746391830528

982999972764377088

The red cards.

[Lewis]

Yellow cards. Red card for Jack Wilshere thinking he's solid.

[Waffdon]

Ronaldo in a big game again. GOAT.

[Giggles]

Ronaldo in a big game again. GOAT.

Big game? Aren't they both in the CL places with no chance of missing out or finishing first?

[Waffdon]

Aye, because a local derby isn’t a big game, you nonce.

[Magic]

:D

[Jimmy Floyd]

Just caught a round of 'you ain't got no history' from West Ham United. Yes, that's West Ham United.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The little pea :drool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

I've had enough of that little cunt. Does fuck all year after year and pops up against us every time.

[Waffdon]

Chelsea really need to bin Conte for Hiddink to ensure an FA Cup at least.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I genuinely reckon we could be a surprise relegation candidate next year, if certain key players leave and aren't replaced.

[Magic]

I've had enough of that little cunt. Does fuck all year after year and pops up against us every time.

Only the second time I've ever seen you use that word. Shocking stuff.

[Lewis]

I genuinely reckon we could be a surprise relegation candidate next year, if certain key players leave and aren't replaced.

The Guardian finally caught on to your plates suddenly becoming un-spun if you miss the Champions' League and have another shitty transfer window, so you wonder what the feeling within the club (at KGB level rather than the players) is.

[Shindig]

I genuinely reckon we could be a surprise relegation candidate next year, if certain key players leave and aren't replaced.

I'll take that but only if we somehow wind up Champions.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Nobody knows, and post-Emenalo it seems to have descended into clueless torpor. Conte must be SEETHING for a reason, and that Peter Crouch/Ashley Barnes stuff they were putting about in January sounds like they are going down the Mike Ashley cut price route.

The best thing they could do would be to give Drogba the job and ensure 2nd place for another decade.

[Byron]

I said a couple of weeks ago that 4 points would probably be enough to see us safe, however I didn't expect us getting those points against Southampton and Chelsea.

Still only papers over the cracks though. Gold has talked about our summer budget being £20m which gets you half a midfielder these days and we'll probably sell Lanzini, Kouyate and Antonio. Whatever odds you can get on us being relegated next season I'd go all in on.

[Giggles]

You'd be hard pushed to find worse goalkeeping.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43693418

:D

Really? Seems a bit mental.

[phonics]

Take a goal off him for a frivolous appeal.

[niko_cee]

I've not seen it, but which part of the shoulder is he claiming it hit? Rule it out for handball.

[Giggles]

Eriksen would hardly be too happy about it.

[Kikó]

The West Brom standing application rejection has boiled my piss.

[Lewis]

To complete the lol trio, City seething at Ander Herrera gobbing on their crest is pretty lol, and it shoots him right back into the captaincy picture.

[Kikó]

Have you seen the video of Paul Lake and the other city fans before and after the game?

And all the city player kids having to be told that the post match party was cancelled. They were all in their celebratory kit as well. Bless :D

[Lewis]

[Gray Fox]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43693418

:D

Really? Seems a bit mental.

Tottenhams only trophy is when Kane wins the golden boot. They've gotten desperate it seems.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's not like it's neck and neck either, Salah should easily close out with a three shot lead.

[Gray Fox]

Unless they give Kane that goal Salah is 5 ahead. Kane can quite easily hit 30, it just depends how many games Salah plays now. We do play some relegation fodder, but if we get through tonight he may find himself rested.

[Byron]

Should be denied on the basis that he said 'I swear on my daughter's life'

Proper chav comment there.

[Mike]

The interviewer should have asked him what that even means.
And Salah will out score him because the man is amazing. :wub:

[Spikey M]

Surely from Tottenham’s view giving Kane something to aim for (golden boot) can only be good. For him to catch Salah they will have to beat everyone the come to blows with.

I do find it a bit lol all the Liverpool fans saying ‘lol is the only trofy they get lolol’ though. They’ve been irrelevant for about a decade and they’ve been wanking themselves silly over Salah being top scorer.

[Lewis]

This Anthony Martial stuff had better just be him rinsing more money out of the club. I could see the benefits of loaning him out for a year (or even two), but letting him go mate send 'Alexis' back to Arsenal first.

[phonics]

ElNeny has had his red card overturned on appeal.

[Waffdon]

Lol at Aguero not starting again.

[Lewis]

Liverpool losing 4-1 or whatever just gets them through is the ideal result here.

[Mike]

Salah starts!!!! Woo

[Magic]

Those flags fuck me.

[Magic]

awkward double wink there from the ref.

[Mike]

Oh eck

[Magic]

£75m. :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

This could be a dicking.

[SincereTheRebel]

Lovren should never have closed down sterling once he was slid through. He should have stayed level with the front post and cut the passing lane

[Dquincy]

Mane needs to stud that gk in the face again.

[Lewis]

Look at that Argie rat trying to get him sent off. YNWA Sadio la.

[CJay]

Ederson is such a twat.

[Mike]

Not as fun as last weeks match this

[Mazuuurk]

Wait we don't have a midweek thread?

Shambles. State of the board etc.

[Dquincy]

Not as fun as last weeks match this
You not enjoying watching Lovren and Van Dyke try to play it out of defence?

P.s. that dive by Sterling in the box. :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Raheem diving :D

[Lewis]

Would love to see Liverpool score of a soft set-piece.

[Mike]

Can see City running out of steam after 60-65 minutes at this pace. Hopefully! Ha

[Boydy]

Someone really needs to show Mane how to pass.

[Lewis]

The referee is having a blinder here. Really letting the game flow.

[CJay]

City and their fans have clearly been seething since Pogba equalised in Saturday.

Plenty of space to attack now. Need to get to 60 and it’ll open up even more.

[Lewis]

lol 'Pep' in the stands.

[Magic]

Come on CITD ffs.

[Mike]

Never in doubt

[CJay]

Beautiful. Such composure.

[Dquincy]

Lovely dink.

Also, Roma giving it some.

[CJay]

If we get through and get Roma. :drool:

[Kikó]

Roma on the march. Roma v Liverpool semi.

[Magic]

Love the giallorossi. Come on.

[Magic]

HAHAHAHA the co com just said STRAIGHT DOWN ALLISON'S THROAT.

:D

[Lewis]

Leroy Sane is the only City attacker who hasn't just hidden and found 'KDB' as soon as he can.

[Mike]

Not even hard this ;)

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Man City :harold:

[Lewis]

Could that covering defender (Fernandinho?) not have closed him down a bit quicker there?

[Magic]

Fuuuuuck nearly 3 that.

[Dquincy]

Lols. Good clinical finish.

Now get Salah and Firminho off for a rest.

[Magic]

Woooooooooooooooo my fucking GOD

[Waffdon]

Oh my dayssssss

[Bernanke]

:cool:

[Mike]

So easy we’re using it for Clyne fitness.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:lol:

[mugbull]

Messi better not score now

[Magic]

All that wank about being 3 down and City bottling it whilst Roma dismantle Barca.

[Shindig]

Okay, lower the odds. But not too much. They shat a Europa League final not too long ago.

[Dquincy]

If City lose against Spurs on the weekend, they're in crisis and the title is in doubt.

[Mike]

Wonder how little Phil is feeling.

[Magic]

Barcelona playing long ball what is my life.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ahahahahahahahaha.

[Mike]

Joking aside, that first time was proper horrible. Worth it though for the amazing result.

[-james-]

That is incredible.

[Magic]

Just wow. Loved that.

[Baz]

Cardiff have lost. Fulham march on. Hahaha sit down Warnock you bellend.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I have a ritual whenever Barcelona stuff up a big game of putting that wanky song of theirs on and turning up the volume.

[Giggles]

:cool:


983811521196126209

[Lewis]

I said it was a goal when the ball was passed to Leroy Sane. That’s why he sent me off. It would have been different to go in 2-0 . It’s different when Salah’s goal at Anfield is offside. It’s different when Gabriel Jesus' goal at Anfield is offside. In this competition the teams are so equal and the influence of refereeing decisions is so important.

Guus Hiddink lolling into his Grolsch.

[Dquincy]

He's got point though. Fine margins. Win some, lose some.

[Magic]

Loads of Barcelona 'fans' on Twitter conceding CR7 is the better player. LOLOLOOLLOO

Chelsea's next manager. :cool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

Fuck I hope so. Him or Neil Warnock is the dream.

[Shindig]

Mick Mac would enjoy it more. Warnock might let it go to his melon and then act bitter about it for years. Like a small-time Allardyce.

Liverpool’s ‘We Conquered all of Europe’ chant is brilliant.

[Mazuuurk]

It's almost like teams who have been walking their leagues up until now are getting a little jaded and maybe relaxed at this point.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The old adage about 'cup teams' still holds. Liverpool, Roma and Sevilla all classic cup teams. Spurs, oddly, are not.

Liverpool’s ‘We Conquered all of Europe’ chant is brilliant.Yep, absolutely class. Although the ‘we conquered all of europe’ line doesn’t quite fit.

Looks like Barca are going to be needing some new defenders. Can I interest you in Mustafi? German World Cup winner so you know he's good. 70 million quid please.

Iniesta looking worn down? Don't worry, have I got a replacement for you! It's Granit Xhaka! You can have him for a bargain, 60 million.

Still think that might work out at better value than Song/Vermaelen/Hleb/Overmars/Petit.

PSG has failed FFP after UEFA told them they were overstating potential sponosrship deals.

Just realized that Roma scored 6 of the 8 goals in that match.

[niko_cee]

Kane got his goal "after taking the player's testimony into account and reviewing the match footage".

:D

[Spikey M]

You forgot to bold the last bit.

[niko_cee]

That bit seems fairly sensible though. Not sure what swearing on your daughter's life brings to the discussion, but obviously something.

[Spikey M]

They’re footballers. “Swear on my mums life” probably carries about as much weight to them as it did for us in year 8.

[Magic]

That bit seems fairly sensible though. Not sure what swearing on your daughter's life brings to the discussion, but obviously something.

It sets a dangerous precedent.

[igor_balis]

Obsession with individual awards in football is for imbeciles.

[niko_cee]

What is wrong with the Bayern 'keeper who hasn't played for so long I've forgotten his name?

[phonics]

Neuer did a knee iirc. He might just about play the last 3-4 games of the season.

[Danny]

The Germany international keeper has been sidelined since September with a foot complaint, but he is certain he will be back at some point this term

It was the third time in six months Neuer had broken his foot, resulting in Bayern approaching his comeback particularly cautiously this time around.

Oh my god. :D
