Get in there!

horrible cheating bastards

half their crowd were English too, weird cunts

The French contingent were in the CB L1 stand!! Stopping us sitting in our seats and trying to crowd us out. Luckily we have 2 very polite but very insistent stewards who moved them on twice! (Not the same group. One as the teams came out and one group at half time).

 

[City Man]

Pochettino, a clueless manager with a team rammed full of lazy egotistical superstars.

I can’t fathom why United would think he’d be a good fit. No idea at all.

I think you've just answered your own question.

Thought it looked amazing. Took my son on his first ever night game and told him it looks great at night. Walked from the concourse into 116 and the lights were dimmed, the crowd was absolutely buzzing and it was a proper wow moment for him. Atmosphere was brilliant as well. Top night.

Great stuff mate :-)

You know this man called Messi? I thought football was a game of speed and running. He was walking around like an old, old man. I walked faster than him back to the coach!!
He just wasn’t interested tonight.

Impressive AF.

Yes, PSG are a right mess when it comes to what we get from their 3 key players 2 of whom are not old enough to justify how little they offer on the other side of the ball.

Our issues with taking chances are there, but to come back again after being behind against them after the Etihad seemed quite deflated after Mbappe’s goal, and the team selection and changes Pep made with player performances is a testament to the brilliance of this side.

Yes, we may lose, but think. No KDB. No Foden. No Grealish. No striker.

I sense growth in the belief within the players in CL compared to what we used to see.

Was Pep right saying it takes time to become accustomed to CL?

The growth each season is starting to leave one to believe this to be true more than some wanted to hear.

Also, the propensity for players who fans have slagged off to death and/or expected to be off who have turned it around in some way is striking to say the least.

Raz has been a beast for the last few games (the latest City Lazarus). Jesus’ goal and impact as a sub was killer and Bernardo, Mahrez, Gundo and Rodri leading us at times speaks volumes to this statement.

Even in America, where Paramount fucked me out of everything beyond the 35th minute amid spotty reception on a beach in Hawaii, we are not immune from the press cuntery:

Headline from ESPNFC:

Amid Man United link, PSG's Pochettino puts on happy face, but loss to City hints at trouble in Paris​

Walker and Cancelo have average positions that are almost exactly the same but on opposite sides of the pitch, but I get your point ;-)

He did get forward an awful lot tonight

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

I think he's shit, the French equivalent of Rashford!

His stats say different but I respect your opinion (even though you are wrong).
