Ergo, top 16 should go into as playoff system, relegation should be abolished and all teams should have to have their current nickname (Red Devil, whatever) as part of their official team name.

:D Look forward to it. Brighton Seagulls safe for eternity, jousting with Crystal London Eagles and East London Hammers for the honourable / entirely meaningless 8th place.

Ronaldo was excellent tonight. Surely his best all-round game in terms of link up etc. Not as fun as the mental hat-tricks but nearly as impressive.

Nottingham Forrest winning today and hopefully next week would be a lovely change rather than Bournemouth/Fulham +1

Luton coming up in the play offs would be funny for a few weeks before they break Derby’s record

STONEWALL penalty that.

Fucking hell this is nervy.

Fuck Liverpool.

Should have hooked Keita for Henderson after 10 minutes.

This'll just make it more annoying when Liverpool go through anyway.

All Spanish final :drool:

Even though I hate same country finals.

I mean, I am pretty sure Liverpool will still go through here, but writing off a Unai Emery team in a knockout format has to be kind of naive nowadays.

At least there’s no away goal to make it boring if they score once

Klopp called it right tbf. Proper Quieroz masterclass from Emery here.

Moreno and their general lack of depth will tell.

That Bournemouth winner seems like something you should see more often.

Rulli is so fucking shit.

This goalkeeper has been on the take both games. What a joke

That was fun whilst it lasted.

That keeper almost needs to be looked into for match fixing, he's been that bad.

Didn’t realise it was that wet. That pitch is soaked.

That'll be that, then.

This goalkeeper is truly atrocious.

What's this about Villarreal. Apparently it's only a small town(?).

:happycry:

It’s the hope that kills. Diaz changed the game yet again, so fucking direct. Created gaps everywhere for Liverpool to go forward in

Well come on.

Diaz has to start every week at the minute he’s the one that can’t be dropped. He’s so fucking good I can’t believe he was so cheap.

Villareal might be decent if they had a goalkeeper

Nah, somebody would have mentioned it.

Easy that ;)

Did they mention how many people live there? I'd love to know.

Been a while since I've eyed the xG table. Leicester sitting in 17th. :cab:

Where's the May thread at Ian? :nono:

Anyway, much as I'd like to see a latter day recreation of the '81 final, I can't see past City bunting the meringues out tonight and then returning losers have quite a good record in finals don't they? Can think of Bayern and Liverpool who went straight back and won second time round in recent times, although looking further back United managed to do the reverse and win then lose, and Juve and Valencia managed to lose two finals consecutively to different teams, with Juve doing that on the back of their win against Ajax. :face:

Hoping for pens tonight.

Fuck sake @Ian. 4 days deep.

All respect gone.

Can't see past City now they've got a couple of full-backs available.

Can't enjoy football knowing we aren't posting in the right month's fred.
