Diego’s obsession with Spurs still tries seeing him wum even when his team is one of the laughing stocks of the country (if not Europe) nowadays. Gotta admire the man’s persistence.

I suspect he has read peak BBC606 LDL postings
and his activity here is a "Notice me, senpai !!!" plea.

Rubbish footage - but Modric proving the old adage that form is temporary - class is permanent and Modric has been oozing class throughout his career

Why is it that Good Ebening is so outrageously successful in European competition?

It's a bizarre one, isn't it?

He always seems to perform exceptionally well in Europe, but his teams underperform in their domestic league.

Villarreal are currently 8 points off a European spot in La Liga, so they're essentially throwing all their eggs into the CL basket right now. Should they get knocked out against Liverpool, they may well not be in any European competition next year.

He had a similar sort of issue at Sevilla (albeit not to the same degree), where they never finished in the CL spots once, and particularly in his last season, where Sevilla never won away from home, yet he still won them the Europa League. From what I read, Sevilla fans got quite frustrated with their inconsistency.

He's not someone who knows how to effectively balance out multiple competitions. I think this is fine if you are club (with all due respect) like Villarreal. But it also shows (partially) why he struggled at Arsenal.

Emery is great when he has a hard working team who buy into his system, but if not, it all unravels. And I don't think it's a coincidence that pretty much all his successful tenures have been in Spain (Valencia, Sevilla and Villarreal).

Táchele says that the referee favoured Los Ladrones in his decision making during both games. Now he knows how 16other Premiier league teams feel when they play against Chelsea, City and two teams in red.

Having watched it, I've no idea what he's talking about.
The most obvious consequential wrong decision was the corner that they scored their second goal from.
He just seems to be trying to deflect some blame, to me.
 
I believe UEFA were so scared we might win the Conference they came up with an excuse to kick us out!........and did!

I think it was when he went to shake hands with Ancelotti after the final whistle the referee was smiling and joking with him

What a bastard. String him up.

Honestly, I'd get why that would be annoying after a controversial or spiteful game.
If you feel stitched up by the officials, then that would be annoying.
I can't see how he'd be feeling that way after that match, though.
