Champions League Games 7/8 March

[Deleted member 77198]

Ancelotti is the Champions League King. He'll win it with Bayern, possibly this season. I think the bloke is a mustard manager when it comes to Europe.

Made Wenger look like a right **** over these last few weeks!

Cech "hey Alexi, at least we've already won one of these"
Sanchez "I joined Barca in 2012 you silly ****"

I know the other Euro leagues are top-heavy with cash distribution but the current tv deal should mean a much better level from the English sides. We are marketed much better around the world but sooner or later the respect for our league will wane and the foreign money will stop pouring in, then what? Sky are posting losses so they will not bid more when the next deal is up for auction.

It really pisses me off that Gary Lineker goes on TV after the game and says the referee made a mistake, when it takes less than 30 seconds to look up the IFAB rules and see that any push or pull is a red card in that situation if Koscielny isn't playing the ball - which he wasn't. BT's own in-house referee, Webb, has been on twitter correctly saying this was a good decision as well.

However, BT are so incompetent they don't just not know the rules, they then go after a referee for making a completely correct decision and Rio Ferdinand then declares it will be the referees last game in the KO round of the last 16 because it's such a fuck up, Wright and Hargreaves spend a few minutes talking about how it changed the game and basically say we should blame it all on the referee.

These people are a fucking embarrassment to journalism and football.

Pffft, if you combine the first two halves together, Arsenal won 2-1.

We can all laugh at Arsenal,but it could cost the premier league a place with the poor showing over the last few seasons from all the English sides bar us last season and hopefully this ..edit just seen a few posts above so it won't matter we still get 4 places,oh well let's all laugh at Arsenal then :-)

It's totally irrelevant as things are changing but the PL putting 3 teams into the last 16 is equal or better to all but Spain.

Thanks, Domalino, you answer the question I was about to ask. I thought it was a red card because K made no attempt to play the ball. I didn't see the first half when I believe Arsenal looked good. Could someone tell me just how good they were, as I don't trust BT (!). After the sending off Arsenal's collapse was hard to believe. What were they playing at???

Should really be the last game for Lineker, Camel Gob and co.
