Sparta Prague (1) - (2) Villarreal

What game is everyone watching tonight then? Both are nicely poised but I'm leaning towards City/PSG.

[ItalAussie]

Should have been us up 1-0 against Benfica. :moop:

[Weaver]

Real Madrid/Wolfsburg is on BT Sport Showcase tonight, Man United/West Ham on the Beeb tomorrow and then there's a Europa League game on on Thursday, which I think is Villarreal/Prague.

Everton and Palace's viewing figures will be shit on Wednesday, without doubt.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If Barcelona go out 1-0 they should probably be made to wind the club up in shame.

Real Madrid should have been made to do that years ago.

[Max Power]

Can't wait for this next season. Fuck the pub off and head down the energy cube pre match.

[Reg]

What game is everyone watching tonight then? Both are nicely poised but I'm leaning towards City/PSG.
Not sure either, but I'll probably go with City. Think it might be a bit more open whereas Wolfsburg will presumably sit back a lot.


If Barcelona go out 1-0 they should probably be made to wind the club up in shame.
Definitely possible. If anyone can beat them 1-0 it's Atletico.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Or Real Sociedad.

[Kikó]

United are going to be embarrassed by Wet Spam on Wednesday and then we can get one step closer to the end of this miserable season.

Fingers crossed for Benfica as well, it would be brilliant if they could get a result.

[Lewis]

Is Renato Sanches the new Anderson, 'Daws'?

[Vim]

Are Madrid going to walk it tonight? I've only seen them in the Clasico lately.

[John]

The pitch at Hampden is currently being relaid, giving precisely no chance of it being ready to host two games this weekend. It'll be a swamp by the time we play on it on Sunday.

The SFA are such complete fucking amateurs.

Can you take West Ham to extra time and then shatter their confidence by winning in some bizarre manner please?

[Kikó]

That would mean we would have to be competent. I'm unsure that's likely.

Lewis- Renato looks the dogs. His composure is brilliant and he makes the game look easy. He's dominating at the age of 18, like Pogba without the attacking side.

[Lewis]

Is that a yes? He's with Jorge Mendes as well, so I'll get my shirt printed.

[John]

A commentator the other week called him a 'name your price player' and used the classic 'if x is worth fifty million' line, I think x was Sterling, so he'll disappear by November.

[Kikó]

Him and Ronaldo will don it next year.

[Lewis]

Fellaini - Sanches
Ronaldo - Lingard - Martial
Young

:drool:

Our semi final is going to be tragic. Early kick off means pre drinking venues were a struggle.

We're going to some 24/7 clubbie which has DJ fucking Rankin lined up as a guest soon :D

[Reg]

Fellaini - Sanches
Ronaldo - Lingard - Martial
Young

:drool:
I heard Smalling is going to swap roles with Young next game. Also van Gaal wasn't impressed with Darmian so de Gea is going to shift to right back.

Lucky bastard. :drool:

[Magic]

Who is watching what?

.....

[Giggles]

Who is watching what?

5 minutes of Real again until I realise I just don't give a shit when it's all at ¼ speed.

[Waffdon]

http://sportsnewsupdated.com/stream/manchester-city-vs-psg.html

Orgasmic stream.

[John Arne]

City have started very well.

[Bernanke]

http://sportsnewsupdated.com/stream/manchester-city-vs-psg.html

Orgasmic stream.

Absolute don. Stream2Watch is down so I was starting to panic.

[Foe]

A commentator the other week called him a 'name your price player' and used the classic 'if x is worth fifty million' line, I think x was Sterling, so he'll disappear by November.

Were you there on Sunday?

Mates that were there said it was in appealing condition.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Wolfsburg :(

[Reg]

McManaman isn't good at all. Not only does he ramble and take three times as long to say something as he should, but he always criticises without offering a solution. Man City should have more of the ball and be more positive. How?

Not as bad as Savage.

[Magic]

Owen is worse. I don't mind Macca.

[Magic]

:harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Aguero :D

[Magic]

:harold:!!!!!!

[Bernanke]

:D dots

[Smiffy]

.....

[Reg]

That wave from Trapp might have done it.

[Max Power]

This three at the back ain't working for PSG. When Blanc inevitably changes it at HT they'll prevail.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Lewis]

Ronaldo. :cool:

[Raoul Duke]

This is one of those games where Ronaldo will get annoyed and just fucking slaughter them by himself.

[Magic]

This is dire.

[Magic]

KdB. :cool:

He is some player. Who was the moron that was saying their squad was shit? CJay?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ronaldo scoring a free kick...

The wall wanted him to better his dire record.

[Reg]

What's Zlatan doing.

Not playing Toure definitely paid off. Pellegrini has got to do the same in the semis.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Don't think any scenes could match those if Wolfsburg pinch one late on here.

Bayern v Citeh semi-final has some decent narrative potential.

[Lewis]

Ronaldo has 34 goals in 36 knock-out games. That is mental.

[Reg]

I know City won't be favourites to win it, but I wonder if there's been a manager to have taken over two Champions League winners in a row (Pep).

[Giggles]

Ronaldo :cool:

For once it wasn't shite.

[Smiffy]

.....

[GS]

PSG were abject.

Whilst I'm all for the underdog story, Wolfsburg aren't a hugely exciting team and would probably have been battered in the semis.

[Jeet]

Been saying it for a while, if Citeh had De Bruyne fit, they would have won the title - or at least be where Spurs are.

[Kikó]

Agree with that. He's such a good player.

[Angelsaint]

Is Renato Sanches the new Anderson, 'Daws'? Ignore keeks, he doesn't have the slightest clue.
RS is more of a mix between lampard and modric. Technically very good, physically gifted even though his age have been questioned. For me he is a bit weak on decision making, a bit too much nani for my taste. Impressed though how a 18yr old face bayern / champions without shaking a bit.
He was skinned alive by the bayern Chilean ( vidal?).

[phonics]

I hate Ronaldo and I hate that I hate him. He's clearly one of the best to ever play the game, why does he have to be such a knob about it?

[Angelsaint]

Why you have that idea from him?

[SincereTheRebel]

I prefer the superior players at any sport or activity to be 'knobs' about things. I dont like this clean cut, well mannered superstars. Sayi

[Shindig]

Ronaldo's kid's going to be so messed up.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I like people being knobs for the cause, unless they're South American, but with Ronaldo it's all about personal glory.

[John Arne]

I haven't watched the Ronaldo documentary, but isn't there a scene in it where his kid doesn't know his own name (at an age that he really should)?

[SincereTheRebel]

What?

[phonics]

I like people being knobs for the cause, unless they're South American, but with Ronaldo it's all about personal glory.

Exactly, that penalty at the end of the Champions League final should have had him executed the next day.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Lewis]

Call me a fanboy, but, beyond being a bit full of himself, there is little to suggest that Ronaldo is a knobhead on or off the pitch.

[Jimmy Floyd]

In fairness I'd rather have a pint with him than Messi, probably (unless Leo can get them in tax-free). But the obsession he has with the Ballon d'Or is a bit wanky.

[Lewis]

He is clearly in it for himself, but that isn't the exception that the NARRATIVE likes to imagine. Didn't 'The Little Genius' basically hire and fire Gerardo Martino in pursuit of his own interests, and doesn't he have a highest-paid clause in his contract (as for his disgraceful tax-avoidance)? If you're not being a gobshite on or off the pitch, like (to pick two players at random) Luis Suarez and Steven Gerrard, what do you want?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Evasion I think.

I want Thomas Müller, if that's what you're asking.

[Kikó]

Ignore keeks, he doesn't have the slightest clue.
RS is more of a mix between lampard and modric. Technically very good, physically gifted even though his age have been questioned. For me he is a bit weak on decision making, a bit too much nani for my taste. Impressed though how a 18yr old face bayern / champions without shaking a bit.
He was skinned alive by the bayern Chilean ( vidal?).

Sorry what? I've watched him all season. How is he at all like Lampard? He doesn't score or get near the other box.

[Giggles]

Just copped the FA Cup game is on BBC. Nice alternative to the CL.

Hopefully Utd smash those cunts but I can't see it happening after how dross they looked at the weekend.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Absolutely no chance that Payet wont shit all over us.

[Kikó]

4-0 West Ham.

[Kikó]

There is a depressing programme for mellin on star sports 4 in India with Dion Dublin and Lee Hendrie talking about their best villa teams. Taking about Merson and Ginola at the moment.

[Vim]

I still can't believe people are giving Cristiano shit for celebrating a goal in the Champions League final.

[John Arne]

Collymore - "as you can hear, bubbles flying around the stadium. Both literally and metaphorically". I don't even.

[Byron]

Is there a slower player than Blind in world football?

[Lewis]

I didn't know this was a seven o'clock kick-off. Have I missed much?

[Ian]

Andy Carroll's plaits.

[Giggles]

I didn't know this was a seven o'clock kick-off. Have I missed much?

Same here. I copped it on the EPG earlier but never minded the time. Just presumed 8 kickoff.

[Lee]

Atletico are looking good here. Them and Benfica tonight, please. I see Atletico are within three points of Barcelona in the league now.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Giggles]

Scoring in the biggest club game in a players career. He can do whatever the hell he likes.

As I've always said, if he never played for Utd most people wouldn't have any problem with him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

lol at Bayern.

Neuer has some proper mental shit in him at times, he almost punched Coman out.

[Ian]

Fucking hell, that's a tasty finish.

[Giggles]

Fuck that's class.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That is fucking brilliant.

[Disco]

I'd rather have him on the plane than Carroll.

[Kikó]

Benfica: cool:

What a player Rashford already is.

[Giggles]

Le Saux is off the mark there. That's a definite penalty.

[Ian]

Yeah, that should have been a penalty.

Fair play Payet not having a big hilarious tantrum.

[John Arne]

Simeone is an insufferable twat. He is losing his shit at the referee every time the ref awards a free kick to Barca - wagging his finger, running up and down the touch line, pleading with the 4th official. Every decision has been bang on - every free kick has been as clear as day.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Griezmann :drool:

[phonics]

That's an absolutely corking goal. Is there anything sexier than an outside the boot cross?

[Kikó]

Looks like it's city's year to win the champions league.

[phonics]

P.S. Arda Turan is sitting on the bench for Barca and I fucking love it. What a wanker.

[Giggles]

Someone is an insufferable twat. He is losing his shit at the referee every time the ref awards a free kick to Barca - wagging his finger, running up and down the touch line, pleading with the 4th official. Every decision has been bang on - every free kick has been as clear as day.

Who? :)

[Waffdon]

The cross though :drool:

[Bernanke]

Orgasmic cross. :drool:

[Kikó]

Perfect jinx.Vidal just boned it into the empty goal.

[Waffdon]

Let's hope they don't throw it away again with a man sent off.

[phonics]

Is Kiko watching the Benfica game over the United one?

[phonics]

Let's hope they don't throw it away again with a man sent off.

They're playing against Barca, you don't have a choice whether you go down to 10 men or not. If they're losing, you're gone.

[Ian]

Running wild. :cool:

[Lee]

She's had the fucking remote off me and I've not seen a single goal. She's pinched half my bastard dinner too. May as well just kill myself. FFS.

[Giggles]

Fellainimania.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What is happening here? :|

Rashford did so well there.

Edit: Marshall even, they look the same... :uhoh:

[Giggles]

She's had the fucking remote off me and I've not seen a single goal. She's pinched half my bastard dinner too. May as well just kill myself. FFS.

Magic?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

A full back change :drool:

Living the dream.

[Kikó]

I'm watching both. And that's 2-0. The bog brush is back.

[Boydy]

I bet on West Ham. This is all my fault.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I bet on West Ham. This is all my fault.

As did I (along with Atletico, Everton and Bayern).

[Bernanke]

Play the fucking ball Carrasco.

[Max Power]

Atletico fucking on it. What a team.

[bruhnaldo]

came by to soak in the Fellainimania <3

[Giggles]

If nothing else from this season Utd look to have a couple of gems in the Mensah and Rashford.

Though, Januzaj.

[Browning]

Noble. :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mark Noble :D

[Giggles]

Someone should have decked Noble for that. Booked at least.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Potato head to come on and remind everyone just how shit he is.

Glorious.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Well it was fun while it lasted.

[Ian]

The wheels are looking wobbly as fuck.

[Giggles]

Did Le Saux just use the words Quality and Carroll in the same sentence? :D

[Browning]

If that's not a back pass they should do away with the rule.

[bruhnaldo]

i can't believe Fellaini really tried to clear that with his foot. for fuck sake.

[Kikó]

How was that a back pass :D

[Giggles]

It deflected off his shin. If it was deliberate then fair fucks to him for being able to manage it.

[Ian]

Smalling had been planning that deliberate backpass for the last half-hour, the diabolical cunt.

[Kikó]

He can't even pass it at the best of times never mind some slice volley under pressure.

[Browning]

To be fair I'm only half watching, so I probably need to see it again. All I saw was it came off someone's foot, so figured it should be one. Given it's Smalling I'll let him off, because he probably didn't plan it.

Not sure if I want West Ham to score or not. On the one hand I'd rather they go through, but on the other not sure I want another half an hour.

[Ian]

Look at the state of these mugs, normally keeping the ball and assuring zero drama in the game is all they're good at.

[Browning]

That's just lazy. Would have been so easy to get onside.

[Giggles]

Payet territory.

[bruhnaldo]

Oh, so our guy gets shoved like fuck but hey let's give Payet a perfectly set up FK. (I realize the WH player was fouled I'm just frustrated)

[bruhnaldo]

Thank fuck (edit: Payet FK). Still waiting for the heartbreak though.

LMFAO WHAT KINDA CORNER WAS THAT? YOU HAVE ANDY ONE TRICK CARROLL DUMMIES.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That defending from Benfica was comical.

[phonics]

Thomas Muller is an absolute monster. He's going to Gert the record books right up.

[Kikó]

Van Gaal!

[niko_cee]

4 more years!

[phonics]

That clearance from Gabi. Christ. 99/100 times if that's an Arsenal defender he turns it in.

[bruhnaldo]

> That feel when you're afraid of winning the FA Cup cause maybe they keep LvG for another year.

[phonics]

Dani Alves has had another beastly performance despite being on the losing side so far.

[Lewis]

Ronaldo will win it if Barcelona go out.

[phonics]

Suarez should have had 2 red cards now.

How the fuck do you book someone for elbowing them in the face. Either it's an accident or it's a red.

[Bernanke]

I'll be insanely impressed if Atleti do this, there's just so much time left.

[Smiffy]

.....

[SvN]

Atletico are such cunts. I'm not a fan of Barca, but I hope they score here.

[Waffdon]

They could do with freshening it up.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Iniesta :D

[SvN]

Simeone is so hateful.

[SvN]

The commentator doesn't seem to realise that Barca still only need one goal.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Lewis]

There isn't really anywhere for Diego Simeone to take gypoball is there?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I thought that was a penalty.

Edit: That's in.

[Bernanke]

Lmfao this game.

[SvN]

That's a definite pen, but the Barca chimpout is still amusing.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Shindig]

Words can't describe how daft it would be if Pelegrini won this.

[Sam]

Love Atletico, what a fascinating side.

[Waffdon]

Felipe Luiz was absolutely brilliant. Another waste at Chelsea.

[Lewis]

I love daft things like nobody retaining the Champions' League, and Barcelona's commitment to keeping it going in the lollest way possible (2010, 2012, 2016) is admirable.

[Waffdon]

Did Barcelona even have a single half decent chance? Torres' red was the only reason this was close.

Godin is the absolutely GOAT defender.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Jimmy Floyd]

There should be mass sackings at Barcelona for them getting binned out of it this easily by a team from which only defenders would make their 25.

[AE]

How on earth has Iniesta got away with that :D

[Lewis]

Luis Fraudrique.

[Vim]

Atletico and Bayern look the favourites to win it in my opinion, unless Cristiano can do all three remaining games at the same level as Tuesday's.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Mourinho taking over is the dream.

[Boydy]

Atletico and Bayern look the favourites to win it in my opinion, unless Cristiano can do all three remaining games at the same level as Tuesday's.

You can't say half of the teams left in it are the favourites.

[GS]

Simeone is so hateful.

I think he's great. What he's achieved there is incredible.

[Sam]

I think he's great. What he's achieved there is incredible.

Agreed, part of a huge reason that Atletico are such a likeable team.

[Lewis]

They're the worst team ever, but you can't knock him (other than for being a complete gypo). That said, I reckon he would be crap if he went somewhere bigger. The players would lol at his hair, the suits would moan about his caravan and horses wrecking the training pitch... He would have to bring all his own players in I think, like how 'LvG' has only ever seemed to get his own men on board.

[Boydy]

Where does this 'gypo' thing about Simeone come from? I've seen a few of you say it now. Is he actually a gypsy?

[Giggles]

Where does this 'gypo' thing about Simeone come from? I've seen a few of you say it now. Is he actually a gypsy?

I always presumed it's just that he looks like a traveller but maybe there's more in it I haven't heard.

[Davgooner]

Fucking lol.

[Max Power]

Did Barcelona even have a single half decent chance? Torres' red was the only reason this was close.

Godin is the absolutely GOAT defender.
Proper player :nodd:

And Simeone is fucking incredible. His job at Atletico one the greatest of modern times. If he adds the Champions League it's all time great territory.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cf8yzytW8AAeaEi.jpg:large

[Lee]

Are his achievements really incredible? Atletico are the third or fourth biggest club in Spain. He's basically doing well with Arsenal.

[Magic]

He's no Mourinho.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Yeah in a historical context he's returned them to slightly above par. Irureta's work at Deportivo was a much greater achievement and done with a lot more class too.

[Max Power]

Are his achievements really incredible? Atletico are the third or fourth biggest club in Spain. He's basically doing well with Arsenal.

They were serial bottlers and Barcelona and Real Madrids money and power nowadays are obscene.

Plus they sell their best players every season and still seem to be competing with the elite clubs in Europe

[Mazuuurk]

Griezmann seems a player.

[phonics]

Plus they sell their best players every season and still seem to be competing with the elite clubs in Europe

Jorge Mendes has quite a lot to do with that though.

[Mazuuurk]

Simeone is basically the Latin versino of Klopp.

[niko_cee]

He's more like Benitez sans meltdown, and starting from a higher bastard level to begin with.

Shitting your way through "Europe's elite competition" is hardly an entirely new phenomenon. Not even won it yet, the mook.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Jimmy Floyd]

Barcelona and Real Madrid have always been vastly more powerful than the others, it's not a new thing. Only nine teams have ever won La Liga since 1929, and Deportivo were the only new winners since 1981, when Real Sociedad were themselves the first new winners since 1946.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Magic]

Kovacevic and Nihat. :drool:

[AE]

Lol at people comparing LVG to Simeone.

Any coach that brings Torres back from the dead deserves best coach of the decade.

[Pepe]

Wait, has Torres been scoring? :D

[Adramelch]

Wait, has Torres been scoring? :D

14 goals in 2 seasons. Man's a machine.

[Pepe]

Beast mode.

[Ian]

Atletico (and Valencia? Sorry Nev) did the dirty on the 'other' sixteen teams to get more money, didn't they? As much as La Liga bends over and takes it from Real and Barcelona Atletico were in a better position than most to push in

Also they have Torres which is basically cheating.

[Reg]

I'm more with Max on this. Winning the league and getting to that CL final was amazing. There isn't any other league where you have to overcome two teams like Barca and Real. If Simeone wins the CL this year I think his achievements would slot in the top five over the last 20 years or so.

[Lee]

Atletico are a properly big club. He's doing a very good job with them and will no doubt be remembered as one of their best ever coaches. But he isn't managing Leicester (how fucking brilliant to be able to use that example).

You'd expect them to pick up the odd league title in the rare years that both Barcelona and Real Madrid drop the ball. Them doing well in the European Cup is definitely above par but not unprecedented. It was more me being picky about Max calling his job incredible rather than saying he's not doing well with them.

[Baz]

Poll incoming? Simeone vs Ranieri.

[Waffdon]

I'm more with Max on this. Winning the league and getting to that CL final was amazing. There isn't any other league where you have to overcome two teams like Barca and Real. If Simeone wins the CL this year I think his achievements would slot in the top five over the last 20 years or so.

SPFL, mate.

[Lee]

How many leagues has Simeone finished second in, the fucking fraud?

[Max Power]

It's not he's taking advantage of poor seasons from Barca AND Real though. They have two of the all time greats and are racking up monster points totals every season.

Maybe I went overboard in the post Barca exit euphoria but he's done an incredible job there. Hope he caps it by beating Pep in the final with 3% possession

[Lewis]

The year he won the title EL CLASICO had shitty years by their own standards, and they themselves finished well behind last year. It's pretty open at the minute, but Madrid were bollocks for months (nice one, 'Rafa'), and Barcelona seem determined to chuck it away. He's done a very good job, but they are hardly a poverty club from a crappy league like a Dutch team going mental would be.

[Reg]

It's not he's taking advantage of poor seasons from Barca AND Real though. They have two of the all time greats and are racking up monster points totals every season.
Exactly. Barca and Real weren't dodgy sides, because they never are. Real won the Champions League that year.

[Lewis]

Yeah, under Carlo Ancelotti, who specialises in winning that and chucking the league (Ronaldo barely scored in the league that year).

[Magic]

Anyone got a stream?

[Magic]

LMAO.

:harold:

[Magic]

Lol @ Sakho being left with 3 men.

[Waffdon]

MJ, baby: http://www.navixsport.com/sport.php?id=1867

Lovely goal. Dortmund should piss this.

[Giggles]

Is there some historical link between the two clubs or is all this fuckwittery because they've had the same manager and they're just a bunch of wankers?

[Samadini]

http://sportsnewsupdated.com/stream/liverpool-vs-dortmund.html

Friedel :cool:

[Sam]

Liverpool collapse in 9 minutes. All too easy.

[Max Power]

Dortmund are fucking quality

[Waffdon]

Another beautiful goal. Some finish.

[John Arne]

Not quite sure why our midfielders are letting are letting the opposition just run through them.

[Magic]

MJ, baby: http://www.navixsport.com/sport.php?id=1867

Lovely goal. Dortmund should piss this.

Cheers. Fuck, 2-0. :harold:

[Reg]

Not quite sure why our midfielders are letting are letting the opposition just run through them.
Nowhere to be seen for the first goal. Too gung-ho.

[Boydy]

Quality vision and pass by Origi there. Shame Moreno did fuck all with it.

[John Arne]

Dortmund are knackered now. We've got them just where we wanted them.

[Reg]

That's embarrassing.

Not sure about the away goals rule. Sometimes seems a shame from an entertainment point of view.

[Waffdon]

Away goals should be abolished. Ruins games.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Going 2-0 down in the first 9 minutes is what ruins games.

[Waffdon]

It's an awful rule.

[John Arne]

For fucks sake, why can we still not deliver a decent corner?

[Boydy]

For fucks sake, why can we still not deliver a decent corner?

James fucking Milner is why. Get him off.

[Magic]

I'm starting to come around to Milner and my hatred is now shifting towards Benteke.

:cry:

[Reg]

Can't say I remember him taking one but surely Coutinho would be better.

[Mike]

Solid Seven Joe coming on is turning this round :cool2:

[Mike]

We might be the worst time ever at corners

[John Arne]

Surely Coutinho can beat the first man at corners. Fuck off, Milner.

[Boydy]

:cry:

Yeah that was brief. Fuck Milner.

[Waffdon]

Making a sub before a corner. Sheeeesh.

[Magic]

Fucking hell, I turned it off at half-time expecting it to be a borefest dominated by possession football. :D

[Mellberg]

Lovren's hilarious. That Van Basten effort reminded me of the FA Cup semi last year. Liverpool needed a goal and had a bit of momentum, it was the beginning of stoppage time and he had a shot from more than 40 yards, which, shock horror, flew miles over the bar. Completely killed any belief they had.

Michael Owen when it didn't go in: he was never going to score from there.

Michael Owen if it did go in: he was always going to score from there.

[Magic]

Lovren ahahaha. :D

:drool: Incredible.

Lovren's hilarious. That Van Basten effort reminded me of the FA Cup semi last year. Liverpool needed a goal and had a bit of momentum, it was the beginning of stoppage time and he had a shot from more than 40 yards, which, shock horror, flew miles over the bar. Completely killed any belief they had.

I think he may have atoned somewhat.

Milner. :drool:

Beating BvB with Sakho and Lovren on the scoresheet. That's Leicester stuff.

[Mellberg]

That's some fine jynxing.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Tuchel you fucking wanker.

[John Arne]

It's 4am... I've never screamed so quietly.

[Magic]

If they score here. :drool:

[Sam]

Holy shit. :|

That's a wonderful comeback.

[Giggles]

Europa League.

[Magic]

Liverpool on course to win the greatest competition of all time ever.

[Spoonsky]

Get in there!!!

[Boydy]

That was a bloody great match. Even ignoring the result, like.

[Waffdon]

i feel sick

The Europa League is a brilliant trophy to win. Don't know why us brits often play it down. The fact it gives a Champions League place gives it a new extra edge.

[Mike]

Easy that. Was never in doubt really, was it. :cool2:

[Spoonsky]

I don't know how much of that can be attributed to Klopp but surely it's got to be a lot. Under Rodgers the game would have been over after the first half. He's changed the mentality of the team completely.

What a turnaround for Lovren after missing the decisive penalty against the Turks last year.
