Much as I hate PSG and everything they represent, I would love Poch to lift the trophy, if only as a massive great big 'up yours' to Levy.

I must admit, I'd find it far more amusing if they missed out on all silverware and finished 4th, but I do have a rather dark sense of humour.
There's currently 5 points between Lyon in 4th and Lille in 1st. PSG sit in 2nd, 3 points behind the leaders with Monaco a point behind them.

I don't think their owners give a darn about the league at this point. The holy grail for them is the CL, and has been since they signed Neymar. So many 'almost' and inexcusable reverses when in strong aggregate positions. Plus losing the final last season. I think both PSG fans would be fine with them finishing 4th if it meant winning the CL.

As with Citeh, long may those Sugga Daddy FCs be denied a CL trophy.

Tripps got a 12 game ban for getting his mate to bet on his Atleti move.

Kudela gets just a 10 game ban for racially abusing Kamara, whilst Kamara himself gets a 3 game ban for reacting.

Bravo, UEFA, bravo. <doh>

Yeah I think you may be right but it still shows the stupidity of UEFA. The fact they've banned Kamara as well is just a joke.

"If only".

As many of us have pointed out, we haven't signed a player who has seriously improved our starting XI since Victor Wanyama in 2016.

The bigger problem now seems to be recruitment. Since the season you mentioned, we have broken our transfer record 3 times with Sanchez, Lo Celso and Ndombele. Sadly none of them has come even close to justifying the fees we paid for them, let alone improving the side. And whereas the Chelseas of this world can blow tens of millions on Morata, Bakayoko and Kepa, we can't.

The small comfort is that in the likes of Skipp, Tanganga, Cirkin, Sessegnon, Devine, White and Scarlett we have a batch of really promising youngsters. We just need a manager who can actually coach them to their fullest potential. Mourinho isn't that person.

What's happened to him?
He looked great at Fulham - albeit at a lower level.

EDIT: I highlighted Sessegnon!
 
How good was Casemiro last night?! Broke up countless Pool attacks and made so many important tackles, monster of a performance. Modric and Kroos dominated the first leg (latter was poor last night though) but yesterday was all about Casemiro, what a trio of midfielders they are. As for Modric, 35 years old and still covered more or less every blade of grass last night.
