Champions League 2015/16

[Özim]

Simeone is exactly what we need, someone who can motivate his team, how is tactically great and who does a proper job of managing rather than being glorified scout/economics professor. Beating what people were hailing as the worlds best side over two legs is some feat, especially after going down to 10 men in the 1st leg in the Nou Camp.

Let's bring Griezmann with him whilst we're at it.

It's a pipedream of course as the economics professor will be here till god knows when.

[Özim]

:lol:

I'll just leave you to think about that...

My bad, should have said winning something of note.

[Marc Overmars]

We'll miss the boat with Simeone just like we have done with everyone else who could possibly, just possibly be better than a man who's become irrelevant in the game.

[Kano]

Simeone would fit in perfectly with the Prem, ugly football played by a bunch of scrotes. The only reason I enjoy their victories over Real and Barca is because those guys are an even bigger of scrotes. Would never want him at Arsenal. We don't need beautiful, prestine football but we don't need to become the new Chelsea either.

Your reaction after the first FA Cup win was curiously enthusiastic for a trophy you are now pretending you don't care for.

Trophies are always nice no denying that, but the ones every one want are the PL and CL and personnaly speaking the CL is the one I'd like us to win as having to watch every other English club win it and knowing we've never done so is frustrating.

Here's hoping the new manager can bring us the CL success we crave :good:

:lol: Fair enough :good:

Arsene Mugabe might retire in 2030, so we may have a shot then.

[Marc Overmars]

City vs Real Madrid. Come on Ronaldo. :bow:

Atleti vs Bayern. Come on Simeone. :bow:

Possibility of a Pep vs City final though. :popcorn:

[Kano]

Of the teams left, Madrid was probably the best one for City.

[Letters]

Arsene Mugabe
:lol: Quite like that one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man City: Hart, Sagna, Otamendi, Kompany, Clichy, Fernando, Fernandinho, Navas, De Bruyne, Silva, Aguero.

Real Madrid: Navas; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Bale, Benzema, Vasquez.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

No Ronaldo at all for Madrid :popcorn:

[Munchies]

Real Madrid :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kompany doing his Big Man routine. Hope he falls on his stupid face again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Champions League music.

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus Navas cross goes to nobody. :faint:

[GP]

Navas is shit.

[Globalgunner]

Clichy is crap still after all these years

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Pepe is hideous

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sagna gives Ramos a good kicking.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Real Madrid really are a one man team aren't they

Is James Rodriguez even on the bench?....they don't want him anymore do they?....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Silva off, Iheanacho on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema shoots. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hart saves from Ramos' header.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kompany commits a foul but headed it out behind him anyway. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I didn't realise Benzema was hauled off for Jese at half time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fat Ronaldo. :bow:

[Power n Glory]

:bow: The Real Ronaldo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This has been crap.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I think you mean 'intriguing' you philistine.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne low cross, Navas saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jese header, hits the bar! That was an incredible move.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Modric sends it sky high.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale turns inside shoots, just wide it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus Navas hauled off, Sterling on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Balefail.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hart saves from Casemiro's header!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Marketing, very close to the 18 yard box.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale hits the wall.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How hasn't Pepe scored? :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck, how much do these useless bastards get paid? Why can't they cross a ball? Crossing used to be the bread and butter of wide men, now it's a miracle if you see two decent crosses in a match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kroos off, Isco on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe sorts Sterling out.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sterling £50mill :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

As cynical as it gets from Carvajal. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Navas saves from De Bruyne.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 FT. :lol:

A bit crap.

[Niall_Quinn]

Very poor.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Fuck, how much do these useless bastards get paid? Why can't they cross a ball? Crossing used to be the bread and butter of wide men, now it's a miracle if you see two decent crosses in a match.

Is it just me that thinks Eboooooooue was probably the best crosser of the ball we had in the last ten years.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atletico Madrid: Oblak, Juanfran, Gimenez, Savic, Filipe Luis, Saul, Gabi, Koke, Augusto, Griezmann, Torres.

Bayern Munich: Neuer, Lahm, Martínez, Alaba, Bernat, Alonso, Vidal, Thiago Alcantara, Coman, Costa, Lewandowski.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I've got Jonathan Pearce's commentary. :sarcy:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 1-0 Bayern, SAUL!!!!

What a goal!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nearly 1-1 from Vidal's header.

Sort it out Atleti!

[Globalgunner]

Better call Saul!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three Bayern players laid out. :haha:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Interesting that Bayern have only won once away from home in the knockout stages under the reign of Ming the Merciless

And depressingly and predictably enough it was against us

Atletico are like a small dog nipping at your heels.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Side netting off Douglas Costa's freekick.

[fakeyank]

Athletico is a prime example of what you can do with a good manager and players who play with passion.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Athletico is a prime example of what you can do with a good manager and players who play with passion.

There's playing with passion and being cunts, Atletico too often adopt the latter mentality

Plus on the whole as much as i admire the in your face spirit I don't enjoy watching them play

If we are talking about clubs punching above their weight have always prefered watching Dortmund to Atletico

[Globalgunner]

Easier to score in a Convent than against this Athletico team

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Easier to score in a Convent than against this Athletico team

Bayern Munich are another side that will resist shooting when a pass can be made.

Side like Atletico are beatable, it just takes patience and being strong in posession as Atletico like with any team that constantly tries to close you down on the ball will tire.

Not sure Bayern have shown enough to suggest they can adapt to play that way, they have panicked a lot on the ball.

[Marc Overmars]

Seems crazy to suggest it but would Pep have to be considered as somewhat of a failure if he didn't win the CL with Bayern? Their domestic form isn't really a measure of anything these days.

[Özim]

Simeone is a genius the way he sets them up, if he had money who knows what magic he could produce.

Not sure Bayern have shown enough to suggest they can adapt to play that way, they have panicked a lot on the ball.

If anything Athletico are very hard to beat, ask Barca and Madrid who are considered the best sides in the world. Dortmund could always be beaten the way they played and did get beaten a few times including by us and to be fair they had a top class bunch of players, Simeone doesn't have the same level of quality.

What Simeone is doing is amazing frankly, every season they are competing, they get into the latter stages of the CL and compete for the league every season against their big spending rivals.

Imagine if he was given money to build a team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alaba smashes the bar from miles out!

[Özim]

Seems crazy to suggest it but would Pep have to be considered as somewhat of a failure if he didn't win the CL with Bayern? Their domestic form isn't really a measure of anything these days.

Yup there's no real competition to them domestically, they are head and shoulders above everyone else.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Oblak.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I didn't say they were easy to beat I said they were beatable

Dortmund and Atletico both have a similar problem, both can be worn down as their game relies on high intensity pressure

Dortmund with high pressing, Atletico with closing down and nipping at your heels.

If you play it cagey and withstand the barrage than both are beatable.

Aesthetically I just prefer Dortmund

I think a side can be tough to beat and easy on the eye

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern are really dominating now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lewandowski shot, just across goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coman hauled off, Ribery on.

[Munchies]

What a game :bow:

Watching a game from the comfort of my tv for once lol

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torres just dropped the Ashes!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Koke shoots from the rebound but easy for Lahm.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neuer. :lol:

Booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandez scuffer on the volley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benatia and Vidal both scuff it.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Atletico are a horrible side to watch

Can't fault them though, so confident in their defending

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 1-0 Bayern, FT!

Simeone. :bow:

[Kano]

Athletico is a prime example of what you can do with a good manager and players who play with passion.

Passion, desire, pace and power. Indecision is final my son.

[Kano]

Seems crazy to suggest it but would Pep have to be considered as somewhat of a failure if he didn't win the CL with Bayern? Their domestic form isn't really a measure of anything these days.

I wouldn't say not winning it as it is a tough competition to win but at least getting to the final would be a major fuck up.

[Özim]

I wouldn't say not winning it as it is a tough competition to win but at least getting to the final would be a major fuck up.

His predecessor won it and in fact did the treble, on that basis failure to win it would be failure, they were winning the league at a canter before he arrived.

Thought they were better before he arrived to be honest, his brand of football is something I find pretty dull, much preferred the football they use to play.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Interesting do you also find Chelsea good to watch?

[Özim]

Interesting do you also find Chelsea good to watch?

Haven't watched them recently to be honest. All I know is I don't lke Guardiola's style of play at all.

[Kano]

Thought they were better before he arrived to be honest, his brand of football is something I find pretty dull, much preferred the football they use to play.
On what basis?

[Özim]

On what basis?

On what basis where they better? Well they'd just won the treble and played more exciting/incisive football, he's changed their style to his preferred style now but it's not as quick and penetrative.

[Kano]

I meant what basis were you talking about in relation to the previous manager, as you phrased it in your first paragraph. I don't mean on what basis were they comparably better before Pep. It makes no sense to say that because the guy beforehand won it and the treble then the next manager has to do the same or he has failed.

[fakeyank]

There's playing with passion and being cunts, Atletico too often adopt the latter mentality

Plus on the whole as much as i admire the in your face spirit I don't enjoy watching them play

If we are talking about clubs punching above their weight have always prefered watching Dortmund to Atletico

While they are not the prettiest side to watch, I'd rather watch their games over ours. We do have occasional games once in a leap year where we look really good but I prefer Athletico over us any day. Which teams would you say play football that is enjoyable? Frankly not many come to my mind currently... if I could be a neutral, I'd say Real, Spurs, City and Dortmund.

[AFC Leveller]

Simeone would be THE perfect manager for us right now, he would be a MASSIVE signing. However, its extremely unlikely because vinegar wont go and because our board will never get someone like him in.

I'd also like to point out that stopping Bayern isnt the hardest thing to do, we beat them at our ground this season and kept a clean sheet, so last night was nothing new in that sense.

I reckon Atletico will win it this year, they are so organised, work twice as hard as the opoosition and have very good players up front (Griezmann, Torres, Saul etc).

[Munchies]

Atletico :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich: Neuer, Lahm, Martinez, Boateng, Alaba, Ribery, Costa, Alonso, Vidal, Müller, Lewandowski.

Atletico Madrid: Oblak, Juanfran, Godin, Gimenez, Filipe Luis, Augusto, Gabi, Koke, Saul, Griezmann, Torres.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Get up Lewa.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gabi shoots first time, well struck, Neuer saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muller with a scuff volley, out it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Oblak kept that out? :wacko:

He wasn't even looking at Lewandowski.

[Munchies]

OBLAK WOW!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oblak fumbles one, Lewandowski comes in, boots it over, no pel given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lahm boots it over.

[fakeyank]

FFS :banghead:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 1-0 Atleti, Xabi Alonso freekick!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Bayern, Gimenez. :doh:

[GP]

Shit pel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OBLAK SAVES FROM MULLER!!! :haha:

[Munchies]

OBLAKKKK!!!!!

[Globalgunner]

Old man Ribery. give it up:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Simeone needs to calm down at times. :lol:

[Globalgunner]

Simeone needs to calm down at times. :lol:

Borderline lunatic. If he comes to the PL he will likely knee Dowd in the nuts

[McNamara That Ghost...]

On second thoughts, perhaps he shouldn't calm down then.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

GRIEZMANN!

:haha:

[Globalgunner]

Griezmann!!!!!! Woo Hoo!

[Munchies]

Griezmann :bow:

What a player

What a counter

[Kano]

Pep :haha:

[Master Splinter]

The BBC are pathetically linking everything that now happens in the world somehow to Leicester. It's not only nauseating, it's utterly fucking stupid. Cretins.

[Munchies]

You could go back to the 2013 SUmmer transfer thread and find us all talking about Griezmann

FFS Wenger

[Kano]

The BBC are pathetically linking everything that now happens in the world somehow to Leicester. It's not only nauseating, it's utterly fucking stupid. Cretins.

Wenger out

[Master Splinter]

Just to highlight the point, this mega sleazecunt pipes up with an internet-winning piece of highly original wit:



Gary Lineker:

"Atletico Madrid have clearly modelled themselves on Leicester....or is it the other way round?"

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Douglas Costa off, Coman on.

[Munchies]

FFS

WASTE TIME LADS

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern 2-1 Aleti, Lewa. Fuck.

[Globalgunner]

Its like watching 300 all over again. C`mon Greeks. Hold on for another 15 mins.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Griezmann off, Partey on. :doh:

[Munchies]

LOOOOOOOOOOL

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Atleti!!

[Munchies]

Torres :bow:

[GP]

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torres has it saved, you fucking melt.

[Munchies]

Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Master Splinter]

Torres :haha:.

[Munchies]

Lewandowski dropped the ashes!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alaba shot, deflects, Oblak saves!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oblak's right knee. :sick:

[Marc Overmars]

Hang on Atleti!

[Kano]

Simeone :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three of the five to go.

[GP]

Coman is shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible from Coman. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 FT. ATLETI ARE THROUGH!!

Simeone you mentalist. :bow:

Pep. :haha:

Bayern. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Pep :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

For the love of god Wenger let Simeone succeed you. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

https://streamable.com/jv7f?t=4.9

:haha:

[Özim]

Pep :haha:

:lol: Has totally failed at Bayern, his predecessory did a much better job.

[Kano]

The pendulum seems to have swung from stupid amounts of possession to next to no posession in order to be successful.

[Özim]

For the love of god Wenger let Simeone succeed you. :bow:

What a manager, absolutely brilliant, season after season he delivers.

[Master Splinter]

Atleti are the on the verge of becoming the biggest enemies of football ever. They are pretty disgusting.

Citeh are actually the least of the three evils left.

[Niall_Quinn]

https://streamable.com/jv7f?t=4.9

:haha:

Arteta is going to be slaughtered for that.

[Özim]

The pendulum seems to have swung from stupid amounts of possession to next to no posession in order to be successful.

Football is about scoring goals and conceding less, not passing it around aimlessly.

[fakeyank]

Flop Guardiola :pal: :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Now for Real Madrid to win make it a repeat of the 2014 final. Only with a different outcome.

[Niall_Quinn]

Gullit reckons it's too difficult to have technology for offsides. More difficult than a ref having to spot it in real time?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Offsides are quite easy to get right from technology surely? :sarcy:

The idiot.

[Özim]

lol

[Kano]

Football is about scoring goals and conceding less, not passing it around aimlessly.

And you're telling me this why?

[Özim]

And you're telling me this why?

Just saying possession isn't that important, the most exciting football is the counter attacking type with minimal possession.

[Niall_Quinn]

Offsides are quite easy to get right from technology surely? :sarcy:

The idiot.

Nah. Very difficult. Apparently you can have 3 idiots sat in a studio still unable to agree, even with technology. I think the goal line system has shown that tech just isn't up to it. Could never work. Gullit reckons win some, lose some is the best way forward in a multi billion quid sport.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just saying possession isn't that important, the most exciting football is the counter attacking type with minimal possession.

Depends on what era it's being played in. Now we're seeing a change back to counter attacking.

[GP]

You don't have to.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kompany injured again. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

'Vinny Kompany' says Tyler.

Twat.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kompany limps off again, Mangala on.

Citeh. :rose:

[Niall_Quinn]

You don't have to.

It's Marketing and Ronaldo. No choice.

[Kano]

Kompany is an absolute liability to his team.

He must know he has something troubling him every time he 'comes back' but he has to play the big man and put his team mates right in it.

[Master Splinter]

Ronaldo :doh:.

That's a sitter for him.

[Master Splinter]

Kompany is an absolute liability to his team.

He must know he has something troubling him every time he 'comes back' but he has to play the big man and put his team mates right in it.

Plus, he's crap. Citeh's best CB is probably Sagan. Otamendi has been a disaster, but has somehow avoided the widespread criticism received by Mangala.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Otamendi was a comparitive bargain at ahem £32 million.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marketing 1-0 Citeh, BALE!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Total fluke.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Might be a Fernando OG actually. :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Madrid. :bow:

I do fear a score draw though.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Cornelius going for goal even though it took a deflection

[Niall_Quinn]

Ronaldo :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne was booked.

Aguero rolling about after Ramos touched him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shocking pass from Bale.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Sergio Ramos!

Pepe you muppet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great pass Gael.

[Niall_Quinn]

What a miss by Fernandinho :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandinho just dropped the Ashes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bit early to keep the ball in the corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great run from Jese but a shocking cross at the end.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a ball from Bale, Ronaldo scuffs the volley.

[Niall_Quinn]

DeBrown is playing like a donkey with a broken arse.

[Niall_Quinn]

Spudric misses a sitter.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hart saves from Modric, he should have buried it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo header, Hart saves. Bit Hollywood.

[Niall_Quinn]

Now Ronaldo being generous in front of goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ronaldo with an offside effort. Hart saves again. Seems it's just a matter of time before one of these hits the back of the net though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo. :doh:

[AFC Leveller]

Clichy is such a 5 a side footballer, looks like he has never crossed the ball in his life, terrible terrible crosser since his Arsenal days. He can pass it on the floor to a team mate nearby tho, I guess that's what you need to.become.a PL left back.

[Niall_Quinn]

Toure and DeBrown really slow the gypo game down. Horrible performances from both of them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yaya finally hauled off, Sterling on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sterling on :haha:

What a waste of money. Get him on the plane for Engurlund.

[Kano]

Please just stop talking Hargreaves. Shut the fuck up for heavens sake.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo shot, deflects behind.

[AFC Leveller]

Mangala is terrible, really can't understand how they paid 40 million for him.

[Kano]

Well book the cunt then ref.

[Niall_Quinn]

Off the post from a Bale header then Ronaldo catches the ball and tries to throw it in. Because it's Ronaldo he's not booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale heads on to the woodwork!

Ronaldo a cheating cunt shocker.

[AFC Leveller]

Please just stop talking Hargreaves. Shut the fuck up for heavens sake.

Him, Owen, Savage etc are just a big wind up by BT.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dreadful reffing to let Ronaldo off, so Hargreaves chimes in on what a good game the ref has had.

[AFC Leveller]

Someone should tell City they are allowed to get over the half line from time to time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Isco off, James on.

[Kano]

Him, Owen, Savage etc are just a big wind up by BT.

The other two I can manage but this guy...I bet nobody liked him at Utd or Bayern. A know it all twat you want to lay one on every time he opens his mouth.

[Niall_Quinn]

Navas, their best player tonight, off, Iheanacho on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus Navas off, Iheanacho on.

[Kano]

Sterling with a £50m spin and a free transfer cross.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernando booked for being a cynical scrote.

[AFC Leveller]

The other two I can manage but this guy...I bet nobody liked him at Utd or Bayern. A know it all twat you want to lay one on every time he opens his mouth.

Yeah he has such a punchable face. And what is that accent? Prick.

[Niall_Quinn]

There's patient play and boring play. The gypos are treating us to the latter.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Balefail.

Athleteball nonsense.

[Niall_Quinn]

Marcello is a joke and Kroos should have had a red. But it's Marketing so play on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sterling is shit. No doubt about it.

[Kano]

Sterling :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Sterling :doh:

I wouldn't swap Walnut for that turd.

[Kano]

Tried to play the ball Hargreaves?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lucas booked, stupid challenge.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Sterling :doh:

I wouldn't swap Walnut for that turd.

I'm beginning to really take to heart what you said last week, you're right neither of these sides know how to cross a ball it seems to be a lost art.

[Niall_Quinn]

Certain red for Vasques. But it's Marketing, so yellow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A waste from De Bruyne.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bale with a ludicrous dive. Looked like he was trying to prevent getting injured. Or he's a cheat. One or the other.

[Niall_Quinn]

Gypos are playing just like us. Except with even less ambition. They are going to stroll out of the competition without giving it a go. What the fuck does it matter if Marketing get a second now? Just go for it FFS! This new style of football. What a bore.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I know I asked this question in the first leg but where is James Rodriguez has been kidnapped by Colombian Guerillas.

[Niall_Quinn]

Oooooh, Aguero. At least he tried.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero went for glory after doing fuck all, not far over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I know I asked this question in the first leg but where is James Rodriguez has been kidnapped by Colombian Guerillas.

He came on as a sub. I don't think Zidane really rates he and Isco though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Navas is trying to cheat now. Will the ref buy it?

[Niall_Quinn]

4 mins added. Can Navas waste them all?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Navas is dead and in goal still. :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

No doubt Aguero and DeBollock will be on fire when they play us on the weekend. Shite tonight though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Get it square FFS! Play it back! Slow it down!

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I know I asked this question in the first leg but where is James Rodriguez has been kidnapped by Colombian Guerillas.

He's actually on the pitch, wow I've really being paying attention

[McNamara That Ghost...]

James and Fernadinho. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marketing 1-0 Citeh, FT!

Citeh OUT! :haha:

:wave:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Yeah and can see why zizou doesn't rate him

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 1-0

Never seen a team go out so meekly.

Except us.

[Marc Overmars]

City. :haha:

Money well spent.

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Simeone. :bow:

[Kano]

A semi final exit in homage to their new manager.

[Master Splinter]

Citeh :lol:.

Into the Europa League you go. :wave:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I don't get City's tactics tonight.

Keeping it to within 1 for a fair portion of the match I can understand, but then taking off the (yet again) shite Toure and putting on another striker to help out the isolated Aguero, who may well have been playing at the Etihad, only for Aguero then to drop deep leaving Icthingy just as isolated and keep basically the same shape was just pointless. And then barely going for it at all.

Oh well. Don't fuck it up Atleti. Not last minute anyway. Please.

Wenger must have been the technical advisor for that one. Watching the gypos was just like watching us. Toothless, plodding, overpaid lumps. Sterling is a fucking joke. Their very own Walnut, except worse. Toure is so finished it's embarrassing. DeTurd is horribly overrated. The gypo fullbacks :haha: we robbed them.

I thought I was watching Arsenal today in the form of Man City.

Get the feeling some are reaching just to find a way to have a go at Arsenal.

When we go out of the Champions League it is normally glorious failure, not a tame exit.

Agree, City were horrible in both legs, showed zero ambition/care.

We don't really do these kind of games in Europe, it's away to Chelsea, Stoke, Man u etc that we really fuck up.
