Hope we get them next season and kick fuck out of them on and off the pitch.

Would have loved to have andy Morrison in that tunnel at the end.
Someone would have got hurt haha

Or Mick Doyle.

 

[WestGorton]

Me? Absolutely not.
Perish the thought.

Haha. Made me laugh mate.

Or Mick Doyle.

Or super Kev. One spot of aggressive walking, and they'd shit their pants.

Are Atletico today's equivalent of Leeds United in the 70's? Talented individuals but a bunch of dirty bastard's.

They're nowhere near as dirty as Don Revie's Leeds were. In fact there were plenty of English teams at that time who would make 2022 Atletico look like angels.

Let's face it,we weren't exactly choirboys at City at the time. Mike Summerbee, Francis Lee, Tony Coleman, Mike Doyle... Even Tony Book wasn't averse to using the 'dark arts' on occasion.

Let it sink in that Atletico pay Simeone 3million every month - that is nearly twice as much as we pay Pep.

Mad drug taking bastard. :-) Didn't he juggle the ball up the wing in '67?

No that was Jim Baxter of Rangers Jimmy liked a drink not drugs.

They would't stand a chance against that Leeds team, they took foul play to a whole new level.

Let’s just imagine, for a second, we were 1 down with 2 minutes left and Suarez is fouled off the pitch. He then rolls over 4 times to get back on the pitch and Cancello tries to get him off and it all kicks off. I doubt we’d be criticising anyone other than Suarez.

NB: I’m not criticising Phil here but him, Fernandinho‘s ‘cruciate’ and Eddies ‘dislocated shoulder’ were all things that would be universally criticised if the Spaniards had been ‘practising the dark arts’. I, for one, am glad we finally get it and, if the referee isn’t going to take control, we are prepared to employ whatever we need to to get through. I’d rather be in the semi final following a game like yesterday than have played a beautiful game and got done 1-0, after trying some fancy flick or such like, then lost on penalties.

If Suarez was fouled off the pitch his teeth would have still been overlapping the pitch
