Listen to TNT talking about Madrid...someone needs to tell the fannies they're UK based

They’re in mourning

 

[ufo]

Also a cow licked courtois hair

 

[Ajm1985]

That ref is up there with the cunts who officiated the Newcastle game. Clearly fucking cheating

 

[sh249]

Great result.
More fraught than it would have been if we were still set up to keep the ball. But we just have to accept that‘s the direction we‘ve gone. The subs certainly weren‘t designed to take the sting out of the game.
Tactics felt more complicated than necessary. There‘s not another player in world football who gets asked to do anything like the work Bernardo does. Leading the press in the middle, chasing down Courtois, playing out on the right wing, and having to try to get back in alongside Nico. Crazy.
But: just need to keep cranking out the results at the moment.

That starting 11 is fucked.

Rest Doku, Foden and Cherki against Palace.

Bernie too if possible but not sure.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Always great to beat the Spanish Rag's in their own back yard.

 

[bluemurray]

Good win!!

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Fuck Madrid
Fuck the ref
Fuck TNT
Fuck Silppy G
Fuck McManananananan

Up the fucking blues!

 

[David Silva]

TNT can play down Madrid’s strength all they like, a win at the Bernabeu in the CL is always huge.

Ref was shit, we were dire first half so I’ll take that all day. Get in blue boys

 

[noseve]

A strange feeling - not as satisfying as knocking them out, but a win's a win. We move on.

 

[east2]

Mcoist is an absolute ****!

 

[Vic]

Great performance and result. We didn’t even beat these away when we were very much the best side in the world.

Pep’s subs to see out games are shite though, same as away at Arsenal. Gave up all the control we had until that point.

Er, February 2020?

 

[Utter bobbins]

Hmmmmm
I’ll take 1-2 any day.

But it wasn’t a quality game.

Madrid were awful. We were just ok. Our old teams would have won that by 4 or 5.

Yawn

 

[Victorinodennistua]

Disappointing result as Ally McCoist put it!

TNT bent. Ref bent. Gutsy performance and thought Nunes, Doku and NOR were excellent

Sky reporting still a lot more to do from city to be sure top 8 finish.

 

[Scottyboi]

Can't get over Rudiger not getting a second yellow and as a result Pep being booked, fuck Madrid and fuck Uefa.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

That’s a big win and makes up for the Leverkusen defeat. Should get top 8 now

Comfortable enough overall after a shaky start

O’Reilly grew into the game
I enjoyed our defending in the second half, old school blocks clearances and headers

We could have scored more on the break with a bit more composure

The setup of this competition means that you can’t get carried away with a win like this, ultimately it could mean nothing and they could still beat us when it matters

It’s good to see this team grow together though

Anyone else find it funny when it gets to the stage of the game where Bernardo just wants to go round and kick players

 

[beakykippax]

did "jude" play?

 

[Mcfc1.9.8.0]

Great result

 

[pee dubya]

Thought we contrived to make them look good for the first half hour, but after we scored the whole game flipped and we bossed it.

Thought everyone played really well in the end (except Foden, sorry).

Great win!

 

[Luke The Blue]

What a result.

Oreilly and Nunes were outstanding.

Add Doku to that list! :)
