Have you seen him? He'd eat all the profits!

 

Sad end to the story. Shame to see this happen after such an amazing time for the club and players.

Yeah, and him such a terrific role model too

 

He was obviously just there for the dressing room motivation and doing jobs around the place because he had been there so many years. He's 46.

I was thinking more for the fact it's taken the sheen off it for the club to now have this story dominating the day after the biggest match in their history.

 

I doubt that will be most people's lasting memory of their achievement.

 

I knew I'd seen that guy somewhere before he used to play for Chelsea back in the day, round about the same time Dave was playing custodian

 

Does he think he's hiding it with those leggins pulled that high!?

 

Hiding it? I doubt he could find it!

 

Trust you!!


....But yes.

 

That's actually William 'Fatty' Foulkes and believe it or not he did play for Chelsea amongst others

 

Who did that pie eating goalie play for?

Bah!

 

What a game at the Etihad! Wish Id decided to watch it!

 

I watched the other game last night - that, too was a cracker!
Finished Bayer 04 Leverkusen 2 - 4 Atlético Madrid.
Fernando Torres scored for Madrid, remember him? £50 million smackers

 

Never lived that down did he.

 

I'm watching a re-run of the whole match at the Etihad as I recorded it. I love Monaco, they have so many fantastic players, so really wanted to see them play (as well as seeing the result). Mbappe, Lemar, Sidibe, Glik, Bakayoko, Fabinho, Bernardo Silva. They are going to have such trouble holding on to all them.

What is really strange to see, first 10 minutes. City pass it around the back 4 and GK so much, and they all look like they have never touched a football before. They all look petrified. Pep obviously keeps them wanting to play this way, they just don't have good enough, or technically good enough players to do it.That must be one of the main reasons they have been such an enigma this season.

 

Talking of sides I love, because of their wealth of world class young players: Leicester in for a tough night tonight against Sevilla. Might have to try and watch that.

Vietto, Ben Yedder, Ganso, Nasri, Kranevitter, N'Zonsi, Correa, Sarabia, Vitolo, Carrico, Vazquez.

Leicester better not bring their League form!!

 

So, Porto, Juventus, Sevilla and Leicester have work to do to
emulate last night's 14 goals between the two matches
Don't understand why Man bloody United are in Europa League 'action' on a Champions League evening of football?
Thought they were all played on a Thursday?

 

It's a strange one hey? Fixture pile up?
