What's the gig with City and Bayern BTW? I was checking out a Bayern group on Reddit and they were calling City a boring team on there - saying Villa vs City must be the most boring match in the PL (referencing Villa's tactics today). Is there beef between Bayern and you guys as their fans seem to dislike City a lot?

Nothing out of the norm no. We took pep from them though. they try and act like they never really took to pep but they were desperate for him to remain there. Losing the best manager on the planet is a bitter pill to swallow.

Then we absolutely mullered them 2 seasons back, embarrassing them before doing the same to Real Madrid En route to winning it. They've never been given a hiding like that at that stage of a competition before, it hurt them hard.

Dippers scrape a win and it's hailed as another great European night.

Villa fans must be hitting the wank wall tonight.

Villa won the whole thing tonight didn’t they?

Seems that way if you watched them bellends on TNT. Also I had to nip out in the car for 20 minutes just now and had the unfortunate experience of listening to the post match phone in on talkshite ffs
 
atletico being battered by benfica wasnt in the cards...julian will be the next one to soon regret the move, he downgraded big time.

real vardid was embarassed by lille for 75 minutes or so, made them look like a ligue 1 midtable team. also, leipzig allowing juventus to turn the tables on them while playing with ten was amateur hour, entertaining day

i think they can wear rings if they tape them.

joško wears a smart ring tho, it’s not all just jewelry.

I thought this was the case - knew you would know!

Yes, I do think taped rings have always been allowed. Kane use to tape his. I wonder if we’ve seen more taped fingers lately because more players are wearing the smart rings. But that doesn’t account for the big hand wraps.

A taped finger is a lot different to a bandaged hand and arm....
 
After a few San Miguels i watch football highlights on Youtube.

A random game of Ajax v Spurs was available and guess which c*nts popped up…..

De Ligt (RAG) scored
ETH (RAG) manager
Onana (Rag)
Van Der Sar (Rag) jumping up & down in crowd
Van Der Beek (RAG)

Get the fuck out!


Apart from Camelgob getting invloved It put a smile on my face.
 
Foden didn’t have the bandage when he came on against Chelsea at the start of the season so the fact that it is now back, I assume he has suffered some aggravation of the initial injury.

I didn’t even know they were a thing. Smart rings. Just had a google.
 
I watched Champions League MOTD earlier. Good that we’ve got highlights on terrestrial tv again. Decent length show and Ned is one of the pundits, so all good there.

Anyway, what made me laugh was a special ‘ legendary games from the past’ which featured Madrid v United, of course it did!

Shoe-horning in the former successful team, that happens to be the media darlings, is delightful! Hope they do it again next time!

True. Still remember Sane's and Tuchel's reactions in Rodrigo's first goal. The effect of intimidation. Then there was footage from a dinner, Kahn desperately trying to restore their morale which had seriously dropped. Didn't save his job though. Never truly believed they could turn things around in the second leg, it was obvious they lacked faith...

One thing I would add, this thing starts with their hierarchy, the likes of Rummenigge etc. Sure we have done some business with them, but they were usually disrespectful towards City. Directly or indirectly. Not to mention the German media, papers, magazines etc. Masses are always vulnerable to propaganda. If it's supported from their leaders, it becomes even easier...

No the opposite. Way too many hated Pep and saw a disappointment in him, as he failed to win the CL with them.

I am from Germany they were happy to trade Pep for Lucky a§§celotti.

I doubt they still are, this thing didn't last long. The media have published on / off the record reactions and comments from Bayern players regarding the quality of work of the two managers, their training methodologies, tactical approaches etc. Ancelotti survived one full season, and after his sacking the following autumn, it was reported that he had lost the dressing room (which was confirmed by club's officials, if I remember well). I think the narrative changed pretty quickly...
