Just happy that Diego Costa isn't part of these right now. Shit would have hit the fan.

 

[Gingers Dad]

Two words.

Ilkay Gundogan.

Everything that was wrong with tonight stemmed from his selection in that midfield.

Just got through to a CL semi final give it a rest

Who’s the guy in the tunnel that tried to throw a headbutt from 10 feet away? Haha

Vrsjalko or however you spell his name.

My favourite performance in a long time...

It showed we have that in our locker. Add a decent finisher and we nick these games. I hope we do the same on Saturday, surprise Liverpool with a rope a dope.

Can I add Manchester city kept 2 clean sheets against the Spanish champions ? let's not forget that.
unbelievable show of strength and mental attitude by all the players and manager over the 2 legs

Who’s the guy in the tunnel that tried to throw a headbutt from 10 feet away? Haha

He was gobbing at Walker

It looked to me like: City foot came forward, Madrid foot went forward and grounded against the City foot sending the player over.
In the close melee with the ball pinballing around, would have been a stretch to say it was a clear foul. One-on-one, and it could well have been.

Like I say, before that I could have sworn I saw a slight touch on the ball from the defender(Cancelo was it?), the ball clearly has a slight change of direction. It's the fact that Hoddle was sure enough to say there was no touch on the ball, he's not saying that if it's a London club. He'd say he needed a better angle or some such and then "there's not enough in it".

Ake a close second.
But yeah Fern for the sheer know how and windup.

This. THE perfect sub for this game.

 

[BringBackSwales]

He’s only on the WUM, trying to get City supporters to bite and ring in.

It’s that shithouse of a radio station's whole raison d'être.

Has Jackie rung in yet? Her phone bill must be bigger than paul merson’s cocaine bill

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

But it's the referees job to get him to leave.

If a player is gonna drag his feet and try and summon up all and sundry in an attempt to have the red card rescinded the ref can't do much. It's upto Uefa now to ban him for a substantial number of games for refusing to leave the field of play! The fellah is just a typical football thug too often seen in these teams who seem to think that the LotG are a mirror of how they play and what they dole out. Savic should have gone, too.
