[The perfect fumble]

As someone gritted Neymar this morning following his rolling in the ice

Never in a million years is that Mahrez.
He was born and brought up in France.

But he will have family in Algeria. I don't know but I wouldn't rule it out just because he was born and brought up in France.

I recall reading that one of the reasons the Algerians love Mahrez so much (above everyone else in their side) is that he has really strong connection to Algeria compared to a lot of French Algerians who are born and raised in France and then convert to play for the national team having never been to Algeria, often if they don't get into the France side.

I believe he spent a lot of time in Algeria as a kid over school holidays etc. and the fans think he's really one of them, not just a returning expat.

Still think I'm going to wake up in a minute and it was all just a dream.

Every single aspect about our game was spot on last night. We were excellent all game, the desire to win, the energy, the high pressing, the numerous last ditch tackles and blocks.

So proud of our team and more than deserved.

I'd say for 150 mins out of the 180 mins we completely out played them..they may of had the ball at times but they didn't know what to do with it when they had it after the first 30mins of the first leg.

tactically they couldn't live with us .
When you are reducing a team as good as Paris to scraps you know we are seeing something special.they were left to rely on a moment of brilliance that never came .

No matter what sort of team is in our way I feel we have the tools to dismantle them over the 90..
It's just sheer perfection in footballing terms imho.

Now just to go on and win the bloody thing, but I still maintain that having overcome PSG home and away we should be good enough to beat anyone in a one-off final.

From that....

To this....

And I've loved every minute of the ride
The agonies only make the ecstasy that much more enjoyable - something other supporters will never appreciate

Chatting about the game now live with @BillyShears

Brilliant stuff, well done lads.

PSG were a disgrace last night.Their game plan was anti football from the off,and they should be fucking ashamed for such tactics.

Thankfully the footballing Gods agreed.

PSG were a disgrace last night. The constant appealing for everything, moaning and rolling around was a despicable. Even worse was them trying to injure our players when they knew they were going out. They should have been down to nine men at the end.

Same in Audenshaw

Audenshaw is very posh I would have it was a barm cake.

Veratti: "The ref swore at us, that much I understand. But what the hell is a snivelling little shit weasel? Was he talking about me?! Surely he meant Herrera!!"

Lots of play acting, surrounding of the ref. The dark arts didn’t help them last night.

 

[crystal_mais]

Thats was a total Team performance - all getting 10/10 for me - bodies on line - A Pep masterclass too

 

[eastmanc]

No chance yes he should be nailed on that fucking rat face will get it ...

Remember when Dick Van Dyke won it he was being touted for player of the year in August. Dias has been unbelievably brilliant,better than we could have expected when he signed.

 

[The perfect fumble]

This is brilliant!....



Stones to Di Maria..."Fuck off"
