    They will get someone sent off and lose all discipline.

    I bet it's Willian.

    I don't think there will be loads of criticism* because whatever blame you lay at his door, anyone arguing can point to the fact that they're second in the league with a good points total (ahead of more celebrated teams in Spurs and Liverpool).

    *I think there should be a fair bit though, given that he's got practically an unlimited budget and one of the world's best players in De Gea.

    I don't think the wheels will come off but we will shit the bed and grind out until the end of the season. Maybe win the FA cup.

    Miguel Delaney is well sourced in his article today which says Mourinho wants four in and 6 out. Easy to forget that we still have a load of shit in that squad*.

    *Not that Mourinho's additions have been a massive success.

    They did on Saturday (the less said about that last ten years argument the better). If they go out in the same fashion next season then question his approach, but it's more likely that he just fucked it and everyone was bollocks. It does happen.

    I still think over two legs Real are the most dangerous side in the competition.

    Barcelona are for the most part just a good, solid but unremarkable Champions League team - except Messi, who makes all that other stuff less important.

    I haven't seen Bayern this season so not a clue about them.

    City, Barcelona and Madrid are inseparable in my eyes. Then closely followed by Bayern. Juve next. Liverpool, Roma and Sevilla shouldn't be good enough.

    In news no-one else cares about Milan began to threaten an in control Arsenal after scoring one only to be immediately countered by Danny Wellbecktaking one of the worst dives of all time to equalise. It's been quite dull.

    I’ve quite enjoyed it. Feel that shocking penalty call may have killed the game though. Only interest is how many of the officials Gattuso will kill.

    Gattuso looks like 80% of the kebab shop managers around here.

    What happened there? Did the 5/6th official give it? You must know as a ref when the opposition players protest that vehemently that you've screwed up. Like Ballack chasing after Ovrebo.

    Ref didn't point to the spot immediately so I have to assume the bloke that's not allowed to do anything did something.

    I saw loads of idiots seething about Danny Welbeck getting in the England squad earlier, and I reckon it could serve as a decent working definition of a pleb to doubt his place.

    Even if he's not the most talented at not falling over his own feet he's very much a big game player.

    You could make a decent XI out of that. Front pair of Vardy and Rashford would be fun.

    I like that "probably a very difficult call", as though he's somehow unaware of his own decision making process.

    Dortmund, Lyon and Zenit all tanked in that round. Arsenal will win it easily from here and not be challenged at any point. I said the same about United last year, but two rounds earlier.

    Atletico Madrid are still in it, and they'll beat Arsenal over two legs 8 out of 10 times.

    Louise Brookes, whose brother Andrew was killed... said the red colour, the number 96 and the rose were all symbols she associated with Hillsborough. Ms Brookes said: "I really do believe it is something to do with Hillsborough".

    It's trending on the Twitter, and people are actually convinced that Topman have deliberately designed a t-shirt to mock Hillsborough. Then again, George Galloway seems to think James Bond poisoned that Russian bloke to shore up the government, so conspire away.

    I think it's more likely people in the Topman design department think 'Liverpool' is a shade of reddish-brown.

    Arsenal have a genuine chance of winning this now I think, if they can avoid Madrid and Madrid do get knocked out by someone else.

    Simeones boys would eat Arsenal alive.

    Topman and C&A and H&M are just going on the internet, ripping off graphics and putting them on shirts these days. This one probably turned up in a search and fell through.

    I actually thought it didn't look like a Dive, it looked like he tripped on his own foot and that somehow coincided with Rodriguez tapping his shoulder making it all sort of look like he was brought down (and also why it was a relatively "natural" fall I suppose).

    But maybe I misread that completely.
