Champions League 2016/17

[Dirk]

Think next few seasons we will see a similar period where English teams dominate. The talent is staggering.

Dreaming is allowed.

I almost died when Ozil scored.

That's what Mesut does sometimes to people

 

[smat]

Unbelievable goal by Meunier to win it for PSG at Basel btw.

 

[St. Juste]

Whilst Man City Barcelona was an interesting game to watch, you can't help but being disappointed by Barca completely phoning in the second half performance.

They were toying with City for most of the first half but caved after an awful Sergi Roberto error. Rather than fighting back they just dropped their level, it was obvious they didn't need to win the game, but still disappointing to capitulate so easily and readily.

Man City and Barcelona to go through, with Barca top, probably the most appropriate outcome.

After the game a few CIty players apparently "insulted" Messi in the tunnel which led to an "incident" and an "angry" Messi. Aguero stepped in and calmed things down.

Classless bastards, celebrate a win instead of goading a very small man.

UPDATE - According to Cadena Ser, Messi even went to the City dressing room with Barcelona delegate, Carles Naval, to try and find the person who insulted him.

 

[AnimoEtFide]

Did they tell him he has shit hair?

 

[epic73]

Wow that was a good goal by Ozil.

 

[SALTIRE]

Bet you this City fan booed the CL anthem prematch, yet does this later on in the same game...

 

[mistermagic]

Arsenal the big game then. Win or 0-0 and we finish 2nd. Hopefully we make all London clubs our bitch. We started with Chelsea, will Arsenal be next? We still have very few good vibes going forward (Cavani, di Maria and Lucas were shite last night) but our midfiled is solid.

Not sure how to call this at this moment in time but can't wait.

 

[JimJams]

A draw and a pummeling of Ludogerets could still see you top.

 

[JimJams]

Schlupp starts.
Fucking NO!

 

[mistermagic]

A draw and a pummeling of Ludogerets could still see you top.

Depends what draw. 0-0 or 1-1 and we're fooked.

 

[JimJams]

We are playing shite.

 

[JimJams]

Fucking embarrasing so far. Jeff Schlupp is a joke of a footballer. Gray or Albrighton should always start ahead of him. Need Okazaki on and to decide how the defenders are supposed to be lined up. We seem to be playing a 3-6-1 but still with only 2 men in the centre so what's the fucking point?
As bad a 45 as away to Man Utd but without the punishment.

 

[Christian Slater]

Tottenham stink.

 

[GodsGift]

Quite reassuring to see Sissoko back to his usual self tonight.

 

[Christian Slater]

Is Walker trying to get a move to United?

 

[JimJams]

Totally fucking woeful display from us. Deserved fuck all so a point is robbery.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Totally fucking woeful display from us. Deserved fuck all so a point is robbery.

That was the worst game of Champions League football I have ever seen. The whole group is a joke.

 

[Christian Slater]

Still undefeated and the first club to go four without conceding in their European debut.

 

[Super_horns]

Didn't Arsenal have a real mare in the Champions league when they played at Wembley too..

 

[mistermagic]

Monaco destroyed CSKA 3-0. Avoid defeat against Spurs and they're through. Lyon got a decent point in Turin 1-1.

 

[epic73]

Nice one Real...

 

[Dirk]

3-3.A pity that Real didn't lose this after leading 2-0 (against the weakest team in the group which scored only once in the previous 3 matches but got 13 ). Nonetheless pretty embarassing and Dortmund now on top of the group (although Sporting made it very hard for them and should've get a point)

Unbelievable that Bayer Leverkusen could save this 1-0 at Wembley. Well Done, Bayer (although I can't stand you in the Bundesliga but this is Europe and the CL )

 

[SALTIRE]

Dave is having a shit week.

 

[Dirk]

I was very astonished to see that so many left Wembley with minutes to play.
OK, fair enough that they want to go before the "rush" begins but ffs this match was 0-1 and given Leverkusen's recent history with blewing it in the final minutes and Spurs needing the crowd this was very embarrassing to see. You can go early when your team leads 4-0 or is back 0-4 but not when it's 0-1 (but maybe those who left early were not the real Spurs fans but the so-called "Event Fans" who don't give a shit about it but wanted to watch a match at Wembley for moderate prices? (I heard that Spurs made here affordable prices so that many can watch it, is that right?) )

Yes, we won two out of six games there over two seasons. We didn't even make it out of the group stage either year. Shame really as we had a brilliant team, particularly in 1998-99, and could have gone much further.

 

[Luc@]

I'm puzzled.

Getting out of Wembley is not the same as getting out of any random 40k ground though. I know I left early when I attended France/Bulgaria at the Stade de France (granted, France had the game in the bag). But yes, this kind of nonsense (people leaving early) happens everywhere.

Them were the days of Mitre football, where both sides really went for it without much second thought. Good times mate, good times.

Beat Lens once we both dropped into the UEFA Cup though! And we knocked out Nantes. So that's Arsenal 2 France 1.
