Top man, Ferna.

Still on your time, just caught the game on catch-up ;-)

Even on catch-up, they did a little better than “well”!

Outstanding team performance. Possibly best ever.

Woke up at 5. Knew I wouldn't sleep.
So I lay in bed, thinking about a warm late summer evening, as I remember it, many moons ago, when I stood on the Kippax and saw us play a naive football match against the not-very-terrifying Fenerbahce. First contact with European competition, and it was clear that my heroes — Bell, Young, Summerbee, Heslop and all the others — didn't really know what they were doing. I couldn't understand it. It's just the same game, played against eleven opponents, with an inflatable ball on grass, isn't it? Why weren't they sweeping them away? This team that, I will admit, I'd never heard of.
We didn't go out that night. We went out in the return leg, in Istanbul.

We're going back to Istanbul. Life comes round. But never in exactly the same way.

Hahaha I'm the same mate can't fucking sleep and I've got no work today.

Cracking display, our maturity level and confidence is rising by the game.

The phil and kev show is starting to look like Torvill and Dean. Thought Gundo had a bit of a quiet evening by his own high standards but all in all we were in cruise control.

Drink it in blues.

Outstanding result and a wonderful achievement by everyone at this club.

The turnaround over the last 12 years has been incredible to witness and thank you to everyone involved.

The way Pep has very quietly rebuilt this team over the last year almost unnoticed is again incredible.

Finally a message to Gary Neville, the last few years must have taken one hell of a toll on you, hopefully the events of last night will have pushed you over the edge you rat faced twat.

You really have to hand it to Mahrez, he’s stepped up recently.
Foden will win a ballon door in the future, there’s not a chance he can’t be one of the best in the world.

The sheer belief and conviction shown by zinchenko should be a lesson to every young footballer on how to push themselves, he’s here because he believes in himself, and he deserves to be.

Good win, all we need to do now is finish the job! I smell a treble

The hunger Mahrez has shown is incredible, the first name on the team sheet at this time and that takes some doing.

 

[Keeper!]

A big shout out to Sir Alex, thank you for going to the Lowery and giving PSG one of your wonderful speeches, it clearly worked.

But at your age you should lay off the celebration drinks, not befitting a man of your age......

@Ric, remember what you told me about current mods being entitled to tickets and flights/accommodation for that weekend in Istanbul? Does that still apply?
