Don't get your knickers in a twist. I wasn't having a go at your comment, I was correcting the incorrect information in the tweet you posted. And I'm excellent fun on a day out, thanks.

I think if you have to say it then it probably means that you aren’t

I'm sure Bellingham is the bastard love child from one of Collymore's dogging episodes.

He thinks he is God’s second son

Overall,much improved second half performance and all 3 goals were fantastic,referee was very good I thought,we now have to blow them away next week.

Might explain the lack of cohesion in the first half. Turning up to a match looking like extras from Happy Days !

I know fuck all about fashion but I know that clobber is embarrassing

Have the team stayed in Franco land for warm weather warn down/relaxation today ?

 

[Mifred]

Depends if you read it properly to be fair.

I read it
And it wasn’t

Will the real Jude Bellingham please stand up - you diving, moaning ****. To be fair to him, he covers a lot of ground because he's always fucking rolling around on it.

Fantastic result and sets up the return nicely. We can do them at ours again.

Personally thought that was a great performance from our weakened side in Madrids own backyard. We were unlucky with 2 deflected goals but fully expect us to annihilate them next week when they bottle it in our cauldron roof or no roof. A special mention to the Madrid police last night in and around the stadium dont think ive seen them so relaxed with us before compared to previous visits. Now off to Benidorm for five days.

Looks as if it has been included because of the sponsors DSQUARED 2? Agree it is not a good luck. They look a bit like the lads on a stag do!!

I was amazed, and still can't be sure that I actually heard the commentator describe it as a match "between the biggest club in the world" (surely he'll have to apologise for this to calm the outrage in certain run down parts of NW England) "and the best team in the world"! In the event I think we got a very good result but didn't produce a great performance. Maybe that's a testimony to the inherent strength of the team Pep built. We seemed to try and make up for our lack of pace at the back by starving Madrid of possession and this worked on the whole though it was a bit hairy in the first half. By the second we were much more assured. I suppose the biggest disappointment, especially for neutrals, was that the two brightest young stars on the pitch, especially for us in England, never really got into the game, apart from one sublime moment when our Phil showed that true class depends on the quality of interventions rather than the number. City seemed to have realised beforehand that Madrid's strength was not pressing and closing down on the edge of their area. Bernardo took advantage in the first minute and both Phil and Josko punished them for not closing down. So, satisfactory and hopefully we'll have players back for the second leg, but I'd certainly have settled for the draw before kick off (and at half time!).
