We might be playing the semi-final vs the Dippers with half a team on crutches

 

[Chi-town blues]

the standard of this competition if these cunts gets away with everything is embracing .
third class shit

 

[Bald fraud]

i had respect for atletico and the way they play until the last 10. targeted Grealish for no reason then that twat at the end trying to mock headbutt Laporte and just flew backwards claiming he’d been nutted.

Expect that times ten next week!

FT: Man City 1-0 Atletico Madrid

Manchester City
73% of Kevin De Bruyne’s Champions League goals have come in the knockout stage (8/11), which is the highest ratio in history for a player with at least 10 goals in the competition.

 

[Elbow beards]

Good grief, BBC News have led with City winning rather than Liverpool when covering sport, that can't be right surely?

Clive's had a word. Listen you cunts I'm stuck in kyiv, put city on first or else..

 

[pudge]

Pep's goal celebration was class. He enjoyed that one!

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

That was a seriously good Champions League performance! In years gone by numerous games we would have got done on the break and possibly lost a game like that, It shows how far we've come in the competition. I loved every minute of that display against a seriously good well drilled side.
The back four were outstanding Laporte and Stones didn't out a foot wrong, Well in Nathan Ake best game in a blue shirt. Phil Foden was football porn when he came on! KDB again doing KDB things that's why he's the best player in the world.

CITY CITY CITY

Yeah, tend to agree with that summary. This is proper big boys football and pleased with the performance. I've said several times that Ake is becoming a proper City player. We lose a bit attacking wise but gain defensively.
Couple of criticisms are that first half especially some sloppy balls especially from Rodri and a bit unlucky at times. Gabriel was just stupid because we could have done with his pressing and directness second leg. It means one or two others will have to do more work.
But really pleased and well done to the lads, the manager and the fans

 

[sir baconface]

Not much of a cushion but a sound result in the circumstances. I can see us getting some joy in the second leg as it surely must be a more open game.

Atletico got away with lots of shithousery.

Ref was a turd.

And finally, fcuk off Simeone.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

The reffing was summed up by that free kick against jack followed by the bizarre booking of Eddie.

That booking actually worked in our favour. The dirty bastards were trying to get Laporte off and he stupidly fell for it.
