    Well done football fans. Some morons were shouting out stuff during the minute’s silence for Davide Astori at the PSG v Real Madrid match, so the rest of the crowd started applauding instead.

    Cristiano Ronaldo scores in Paris to put Real 4-1 ahead on aggregate. Looks like Zidane might keep his job a bit longer...

    People were crazy to be writing Madrid off in the CL imo. Would love to see them play City next.

    2nd yellow for Verratti, that’s PSG totally screwed.

    1-1 (2-4) Cavani. Too late. Probably.

    I think City will go out to the first decent team they play.

    I said ages ago that Real would use their vast experience to overturn PSG!! On that basis it makes me think that Manchester United and Liverpool are likely to progress further than City or Tottenham.

    If I was a Liverpool fan I’d be a bit pissed off that they couldn’t be bothered to turn it on a bit tonight!

    United aren't through yet.

    Got a funny feeling they might regret not going for an away goal in Spain.

    The rest depends on the draw surely?

    Fulham going like an absolute train. Would love them to get one of the automatic places. Think a total in the mid to high 80s will be needed to seal the deal, and essenially they need 3 more wins than Cardiff to get it. Cardiff have surprised me. and have done well to dig in with a team that is obviously very obdurate but not as talented as Fulham´s.

    Oh I agree and generally like to see English teams do well in Europe, just dislike Pep and the media who are trying to proclaim them as the greatest ever side on these shores already.

    Yeah I've never seen the issue with Pep, always comes across well to me. All the top managers are arrogant, as they tend to have a reason to be, but Pep doesn't strike me as too bad compared to the others.

    Plus his teams always play brilliant football and he really does get the best out of a lot of the players at his disposal. Like an upgraded Poch.

    I know most the top managers have arrogance and it's part of what makes them great. Just think he's a miserable **** and really disliked him only naming 6 subs due to not having enough players after spending circa half a billion. Also think he can be very patronising to smaller clubs and didn’t like his behaviour in our match up there.

    Pep turned the spotlight on our alleged :bandit: time wasting, at their place, and since then I have seen a few refs hurrying us along from almost the first whistle, whilst ignoring the more obvious time wasting of our opponents.
    That’s about the only complaint I have against Pep.
