Real Madrid (A) - CL R16 Post Match thread

[BluechesterCity]

Absolutely awesome night for City - off to bed, lads, up early! Crack on with the top comments! CTID

 

[Lee won pen]

“Finally, Manchester City have found someone who can take a penalty. It's Kevin De Bruyne, of course. Who else was it going to be? The Belgian succeeded where so many have failed for the club this season, and delivered a milestone victory for Pep Guardiola and UEFA's antagonists to boot.

In doing so, he carried out the wishes of those who had travelled from Manchester to Spain for this. 'F*** UEFA,' they demanded and De Bruyne and City did....”

Is this now the longest post-match thread after we've actually won a game?

Nope, go take a look at one particular thread in classics.

9.4% alcohol by volume and no food.

I’ve decided this is a good luck charm and intend to continue the tradition!

Have you considered becoming a motivational speaker ?

 

[Zabaleta5]

Bet that was fkin great

Yeah it was. Shame we couldn’t get tickets!

 

[BringBackSwales]

My plan is to tw@t him with a spade. In court it would be "He was already falling when I hit him your honour" :-k

Macmanaman and fletcher were as biased against us tonight as they possibly could. Listen to the commentary for the first 20 mins and everything was spoken from the Madrid perspective, and there were constant negatives about Pep and his tactics. Then in the last 10 minutes they reinvented history and told us it was a Pep master class. Cunnts. Please tie a knife to the end of the spade.

At the other end of the spectrum was the ref, who was impartial throughout, unexpectedly. Didn’t agree with every decision, but tbf I cant think of a ref who I ever have. Wish it was him and not Cheat Mason on Sunday

 

[aguero93:20]

And he'd demand £350k a week. don't think any club is desperate enough or stupid enough to go for him

Can't see him taking a 40% pay cut.

 

[Rammy Blue]

That was appalling by Mahrez at the end, to not even get a shot away was criminal.

Was even worse to then not track his man at the back. If Ferland had put that in I’d have flown to Madrid to smack Riyad myself. Shocking stuff.

Oh aye....this is a very, very, very distant second.

 

[cleavers]

Souness reckons De Bruyne is the best midfielder in Europe.

Rio said best in the world :)

 

[dadnlad]

Glad I didn't watch it on BT by the sounds of it. Found a stream from America, I think, English guys commentating and were very good.

i watched on real madrid tv and the still wasn't as bad as them two

Can't see him taking a 40% pay cut.

Well played on the % pay cut.......

Souness reckons De Bruyne is the best midfielder in Europe.
Have to admit I’ve enjoyed the coverage on Virgin Sport. Very fair. We’ve been criticised where it’s warranted.i.e. Lapses in defence
But it’s been very positive in general from the panel.
They love Kev and Jesus being singled out too.

Jordan Henderson disagrees.

 

[Blue Theatre]

Or is it that they will let us win it to demonstrate that we need our wings clipping?

Yep - they could be playing a clever long game, and hoping CAS are watching as we beat everyone easily, finally humiliating Barca 8-0 in the final.

 

[dobingsdobber]

And I love you too.

Get a room

 

[SWPISHOME]

Jordan Henderson disagrees.

Oooohhhh Kevin De Hendo....

 

[Rammy Blue]

Not as sad as the constant need on here for some posters on here to continually put down the manager, and several of our players, that is really fucking sad. The best manager, the best players, and the best football I have seen in over 60 years, and I am sick to death of the constant fucking negativity, that is what is fucking sad

You need to chill out a bit mate, it’s an internet football forum with fans voicing their extreme opinions. Not life and death.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Fletcher the **** said " that's the first time we've heard the City fans tonight" when we equalised. The lying bastard, I heard them several times a thousand miles away.

4,000 screaming loudly for 90 mins,,,, that's the alternative title for dad of the year Rio's new book chronicling his extramarital affairs.

 

[LucahArchie10]

Best ref in five years.

Here here

He was outstanding tonight he took no shit.

 

[Beanhead]

Really good night and thoroughly deserved and it feels great to feel happy about football again.. it’s been lacking big time recently.

Sleep off all the beer blues and wake up tomorrow with a spring in your step and a smile on your face.

We deserve it :)
