    De Bruyne shocking tonight, two fernandos not good enough, sterling/navas offer no end product. Yaya should be nowhere near the team.

    I fancy Atletico to beat Real. A decent team would really have tested them over two legs, city were poor

    RM v Manc: Well, was that a wonderfully entertaining Champions League game, worthy of the mega bucks some people have to pay, or one for the purists [tactical battle not involving Southampton FC].?

    Two through already! Can my adopted country provide all four finalists? Interesting to compare Liverpool with Villareal. One of the Villareal entourage was saying that Benteke cost more than VIllarealś entire turnover!!! Vamos Villareal and Sevilla!!

    I want Pools journey to come to an end tonight. It leaves them tired enough to fail in the league, & also don't want lingering fears Lovren will lift a trophy! <yikes>

    Yep, I'll go along with that. Also, is all the punching of the air and leaping about that Klopp does on the touchline beginning to annoy you.? I find that he's fine everywhere else but the leaping about and grimacing I can do without. I don't want to dislike him either. Good for the game, and all that.

    Regarding the European games, do away goals count as double, if the game goes to extra time?
    For example, Liverpool winning 1-0 at 90 minutes, to take the game into extra time, would a score line of Liverpool 2-1 aet (2-2 on aggregate) give Villarreal victory on the away goals rule, or go to penalties?

    Away goals still count after ET <ok> Only an identical scoreline will mean penalties.

    Yes, it has for quite a while, especially his antics on the touchline when playing us. I sort-of like him but want him to grow up a bit. I don't mind showing joy or anger but not to ridiculous levels and much prefer Ron's understated style (jog down the touchline included :D)

    I've never understood why people think he is so wonderful as to me he acts like a bit of a prat. He's sometimes slightly amusing but that's it for me. I'm sure he's a nice guy but I'm glad he's not Saints manager.

    Or as one commentator said when Ron ran down the pitch: Koeman has found his inner Mourinho. :)

    Thanks for that. I wasn't sure simply because the team playing away, in the second leg, potentially gets an extra 30 minutes to get the all important away goal.
