Match Thread | Sporting CP vs Man City (15/02/22)

[Stato]

No idea why that offside check took 2 minutes, it’s not even tight.

They will have checked Bernardo a few passes earlier and possibly other stuff too

I always imagine the VAR sat with his feet up pouring a bottle of wine and smoking a cigar in a smoking jacket barely watching the game.

Purposeful handball or shirt pull in the opponents half!

Tactical foul might be best. Think handball might be too obvious.

 

[Gabriel]

They must have listened to Rob Green on BBC 5 Live in the build up, who suggested Stones should be the person Sporting allow to have the ball...

They’d be the only ones listening to him…

Nice first half, but give then nowt now, City.

Boooooooo's ringing around the swamp, Supersport 'isolated'. My Arse.

Isolated to 60,000 of the 50 million people in England.

Guarantee it’s a red wine.

This lot are a bit too sporting imo. They may be lulling us into a false sense of security.

Let's face it, they're shite and deserve a battering.

No idea why that offside check took 2 minutes, it’s not even tight.

Flipping through the rule book desperately looking for ANY reason not to give it.

 

[Dax777]

Does anyone think we'll ease up now

Yes

Just had a look on the BBC Brighton with 60% possession 8 attempts 3 on target to the rags 2 and 1 lol

I hate gaming the system like this.

And it’s precisely what we should do.

I do worry that uefa is just waiting for them to try this and then even if it was a fair challenge saying they were trying to get booked and banning them for a qf game anyway...

 

[RobinHood]

Guarantee it’s a red wine.

Excellent

 

[WallyA]

No complacency second half, suffocate them, force them into mistakes, otherwise be calm and control the game.

 

[knuckles]

For sure! fck off keown

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Pedro Porro out there saying "Guys I'm just here for a minute. That's my real team on the other side." Lol

This is why I’m here. Their centre half is better at right back than me!

 

[Impeccable One]

Ahhh, a good old fashioned ‘zuffle’

Just had to Google that … F’in hilarious … didn’t know it had a name, after all the times I’d done it. Is there another name for when you use the dishcloth ?

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Not that I can say much, as I'm no oil painting. But the elbow might improve the Portuguese Adonis' looks.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Does anyone think we'll ease up now

We’d better not!! I want every player, including Eddie, to score a goal!! No easing up. :-)

 

[Blue_eyes]

Some one should do a records broken list while pep has been here. Including player ones also.
That would be some list.

A "hearts broken" list would be better, I can think of 659million straight away.
