Champions League Games 7/8 May

Absolutely... makes me think I should tune into the Europa League for the first time since the Channel 5 days, the way the games are playing out this week.
Problem is the ref was never given the opportunity to properly review it-which stank.I agree but it wasn't deliberate, which is the determining factor. It was hard to take because we were clearly the better side and the fact that it would have been disallowed next year but sometimes that's just how it goes. Hopefully we can go further next year.
It makes more and now sense what Pep means by the secret to guaranteed CL success lies in the league. Obviously, that's no excuse for this year, but as we've seen fit several years in this competition it's a game of fine margins, fine favours and luck. Winning the league every year always puts us in a position to challenge year after year after year, like United used to (thank Christ it's used to). We might not always win but we'll always be in the hat and we'll win eventually just by a game of numbers. That was what worked for Madrid after 12 years of European underachievement. Unfortunately sometimes teams we'd rather not have the luck get the luck ahead of us.
Crazily enough, it's clear that our owners' goal is long long term success. Sucks for everyone else but it's great for us!

I shall leave my last pertinent comment of the night;)
If we ever do one day go on to win it, the wider credit won't be forthcoming and an asterisk placed alongside, just as they try to do with everything we win.
Let that permeate for a second, then you will feel much more relaxed about falling short on a complete lottery comp.
It matters not one bit the brickbats we receive for not winning it or not getting to a final...
They will still be lobbed if we do go all the way.
If it's wider acknowledgement or approval City fans are seeking, they are shit outta luck.
All that matters is we are competing every year at the top table.
That kills them. That is our biggest achievement.

Apparently UEFA have said he was shown all angles. It definitely still needs work though that's for sure but ultimately I think more correct decisions will be made with VAR than without.Problem is the ref was never given the opportunity to properly review it-which stank.

To me, the Champions League is no different to the FA cup. Same shit, different teams, more money, more hype.Liverpool haven't won the league since 1990.
Spurs haven't won the league since 1961.
'Champions' league final?
All jokes aside, what the fuck has just happened.
My head says I don't want Spurs to win it before us, especiallu after Poch spent nothing this summer, as the media would never fucking shut up about it. Plus, the stuffy ****s knocked us out with a handball and, of course, 1981.
My heart says fuck the scummy bin dipping Scouse ****s, I want them to go trophyless and therefore... glory glory tott'num 'otspur.
But ultimately I say, we win the next two games and we spend the whole summer chuckling whenever anyone tries to argue that a champions league is better than a domestic treble, and that Pep has failed.
Champions league final being contested by two premier league teams who have never been champions of the premier league
The same 2 PL teams that beat the English champions, German champions, Spanish champions etc.
