Real Madrid (A) - CL R16 Post Match thread

[Ban-jani]

He will be watching! Mine went in 2007. Terrible timing. His last game was Derby at home when Michael Johnson scored that screamer. The next home game was a killer for me without him there and his seat empty. It does get easier though. Time does heal!

That goal was the start of the revival imo.

Just hope Laporte injury isn't serious.

Usually when players are out for a long time they pickup niggles.

Get well soon Eric

We are the best PL team of all time and they are a poor Madrid. It seemed their goal weirdly reminded us how good we can be.

Let's take that belief forward. Absolutely no one we should be scared of.

Why was he bitter? Far from average for us overall many a player have peaked earlier than others. Shouldn’t detract from how good he was for us in his prime.

we are all in it together and just love the away fans tonight loud and proud

Exactly, solidarity when it matters.

I’ve already praised the ref but I want to go further and suggest he was not to blame for the Spurs game last season. He did his best to look at it but they didn’t give him the smoking gun camera angle. Tonight showed he is a fair, honest ref. It was whoever is in change of the replays that shafted us that day.

bang on that TT,he can only work with the facts that are given to him

It’s no surprise that the English referees don’t get any of the big gigs. That referee was everything they’re not.
That being said I think they’re run by Colina and ours are run by Riley. Enough said I suppose..

Last bit says it all doesn't it pal if that's the case.

A bang average goalkeeper who got slung out the door sharpish the moment we got a manager who wasn't afraid to upset him.

Fuck him.

I dissagree. Never heard him say a bad word about city or pep. And you couldn’t really blame him if he did. He’s a class act

 

[scousemanc]

Now THAT is what I call a european away performance

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

What a result!

Incredible that we rotated the squad so that we can go full strength in the cup final on Sunday.

I didn’t watch it on BT, what was Hart saying?

I had Terry Phelan and Ashley Westwood both bigging is up, both loving the game and result!
