"As we discussed last night, this last four is hard for a neutral to get on board with but this is the Champions League"

BBC being complete and utter tossers.
Standard.

Des kelly is a smarmy twat

 

[domalino]

Pretty sure we won that game.

Yes, you're right. Still wasn't crucial in any sense of the word.

 

[Amadeus71]

We need to watch Marquinhos on corner kicks and free kicks.

 

[ballinio]

Everything about that game was fucked, particularly the goal by Llorente.

The word Is corrupt

 

[Don Karleone]

why

I think (hope) that's just a ritual he does

I have seen a few references to a 2-1 loss being a good result. I don't think any loss is good - it will put way too much pressure on us for the second leg. Also, with no fans, there is no real home advantage and our away record has actually been better than our home record for most of the season. Not least due to the condition of or pitch.

So 1-1 is a good outcome and 0-0 is acceptable since any win at home will see us through. A defeat is unequivocally bad.

Why did they change games to 8pm ?

 

[Manc in London]

I think that is four changes from the weekend.

Honestly thought Jesus may play, especially as he didn't play on Sunday.

They pretty much have had two days more to prepare as we are playing a second consecutive away game and we played the day after them.

I would think the fact that the front two of PSG each cost around twice as much as any of our players, will not be mentioned several times before and during the game.

After some consideration I hope for win but 2 away goals is crucial whatever the results

Following along from the US, it's so blatantly clear how biased their coverage is. Anytime an english or scottish team is covered on the bbc, they're gungho in support. When city is involved it's snide bullshit all day long

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

Foden is gonna take Florenzi to the cleaners I reckon. Nervous as fuck now though.

 

[vicblueman]

No beaver ?

ha ha. funny Chi town

 

[Stockport mackem]

All the very best for tonight....fingers crossed for you all

 

[Blue Potato]

Great team. We are excellent at managing games at the moment and Pep looks very relaxed pre game, come on City!

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Joey Hart on BT again. Go on Joe!

Joe was effing awesome for us and England. Four Golden Gloves for us. For England, a better clean sheet record over 70-odd games than Neuer in an average at best England team. Decent pundit as well.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Why did they change games to 8pm ?

Started so they could have a 6pm game on tv too and has continued into the knockout stages.

I’d still take a 0-0 than a 3-2 against.
