The oracle that is Danny Mills has just said on SSN that City won't have any problems with injuries because "they've got a huge squad".

Fucking moron.

It's interesting that some elements of the English media seem determined to maintain their position that Athletico are just a bunch of scallywags and that somehow being good at the "dark arts" is something to boast about. It is all a bit of a lark. There has been very little focus on their racist fans making Hitler salutes in the first leg, booing the players taking a knee, and pelting Pep with bottles, and from some quarters, not much strong criticism of their players for trying to injure our team, spitting at our backroom staff, pulling hair, headbutting etc etc.
Why is it that Athletico fans, players, and their manager have such a problem with Manchester City? Are they driven by hatred and jealousy or is it political or even racial, given that their fans have a reputation in Spain for being anti-muslim? How much of their thuggish behaviour has been inflienced by the posionous way we are covered in the media both here and in Spain?
Some of the pundits seem to think what happened last night was just jolly japes from Simeone and his merry mob. I think the Athletico players behaved like animals and so did their thuggish Manager. Perhaps darker forces are driving the pure hatred of our club from many quarters.

Their Franco's team, they were called Athletic Aviation and benefitted hugely from his support.

Danny Mills is right

Didn’t you know we’ve got 258 players in our first team squad. It’s fucking huge.

Can you imagine the difference in the media reporting if last nights disgusting antics and assaults were on a Dippers or Rags player

We had about 300 when Joe Royle became manager.

Very good from Craig Burley here:



Really scathing of Atletico and Simeone, worth watching, for example:

Idiotic host: "What do we make of Simeone here? Isn't this exactly what he wanted, to keep it 0-0 and have that chance late?"

Burley: "Well I think he wanted to win the game, which he didn't do. Today and other days Felipe was a thug. I'm absolutely delighted that they are out. He has assembled an expensive bunch of thugs."

French sports paper L'Equipe voted Savic man of the match for his 'serene' display.

I had no idea Delooney wrote for L'Equipe.

Stefan Savic is named Man of the Match by L'Equipe

L'Equipe named the Montenegrin defender their man of the match for his display at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday night, giving him a rating of seven out of ten.

Being in the semi's?

Got one already

No one has mentioned Sterling not throwing himself to the ground after the head butt.

Is that not the kind of honest reaction that should be being applauded.

Sky sports consoling the dirty Spanish twats.

Deleted app from my phone.

I'm surprised Sky reported on it they usually deny the CL exists. We're there no EFL matches to cover?
