Maybe it's just that Dortmund are a lot better than us and didn't 'let' us play.
They are through to the semis. Likewise, PSG and Milan who are still in Europa.

These are all big clubs with lots of CL experience. While the PSG home game was amazing, we simply need more time (and more CL experience) to get to their level consistently.

It was great to be back in the CL again. But ultimately we finished bottom of a very tough group. Simple as.


I absolutely agree.

I agree.

I don't see any ref conspiracy. I see us being not as good as the other three and probably rightly, finishing bottom of the group.

Sure we got a spectacular result against PSG, but, those things happen and are usually the exception not the rule.

We were class against PSG first game then bottled it a bit.

But we were robbed by a 97th min penalty which was never a penalty albeit we got battered.

Your bang on re the Dortmund games.

Milan we got a good away point.

The home game was a disaster.
The home game we were caught on the break late looking for the win we wouldn’t have needed had we been two points better off
 
It was actually about Newcastle not getting through the group because of it which isn't true. The fact is that Newcastle came last over 6 games.
It’s also a fact that we would have only needed to draw the last game if it wasn’t for that penalty so wouldn’t have needed to go searching for the win late in the game so wouldn’t have finished last.

That's all just the ifs buts and maybes you'll realise there's 18 games to try and figure out all the almost endless possibilities in relation to decisions.

The fact is Newcastle were the worst side in the group over 6 games.
 
Have to agree with Roy on this one, we finished bottom of the group and that's that, we weren't good enough.

We only played well in one game..PSG at home.

There's no shame in it either I mean look they've made the semis. All this crying about 1 decision when the truth is they only won 1 game at home in the rain.

Every game has decisions.

BTW I can literally guarantee if Newcastle got that pen they'd be on here saying that's a pen by the rules and PSG can cry all they want.
