My phone hasn’t stopped

I wish there was a dislike button.

It’s not once in a decade game of football is it… I can think of Spurs, Chelsea, Liverpool, Monaco, Lyon and Madrid where we have conspired to defeat ourselves with either odd team selection, tactics or failing to manage to the game

incidentally I found most of those games great entertainment but just once I’d like to win one of them

Those were different kind of exits though in truth. We were the better team for much of the 180minutes of regular time and suffered a come back win in injury time which are always a kick in the teeth to take. At least I think that's what he meant by it.

The Spurs game comes close but that was more about the handball goal being allowed and the winning goal being chalked off by VAR. We didn't go into that game with a lead either. As I remember it, we were poor and wasteful in the away leg and nearly turned it around in the second leg and came up short.

The others were either failing to show up or ballsing it up well within regular time... Which is still shit but not the same feeling as having something minutes away from being sealed but pulled from under your nose at the last minute.

We will never win this with Pep.he just doesn’t put the motivation needed into the players. You gotta want it more than anything.

If you need someone to 'motivate' you to win an elusive title, you need fucking off.

That's just a ridiculous thing to say!

Couldn't give a fuck about the final now tbh.

Don’t think I’ll watch it
That toothy creepy **** punching his chest is enough to make you vomit

He made an important stop after their 2nd?

You'd expect him to save it though. I'm talking about saves that change the game

One last thing the referee yet again fucked is over. He isn’t directly responsible fir the defeat but his constant overlooking of Madrid fouls and his steadfast refusal to book Casemiro made it much harder than it needed to be.

I’m getting really tired of feeling like European referees really don’t like us.

And there it is “the players feel the pressure“ all about big game mentality,we have a soft underbelly in these games it’s not a coincidence..

If PL is the no.1 target Shouldn't have played Walker... could be out for rest of the season.

But... div 2 .. now regarded as one of the best team in the world..
Have a drink a sleep..and let's get behind our team... city city city

Difference at the top is being clinical. Over two legs no one can tell me Madrid are a far superior side to us, but the difference is they have a world class CF who scores big goals at important times. Pep will get slaughtered in the press, but we had enough chances in the first leg to beat these easily we didn't and was punished.

If you're saying that's why we lost tonight, that's nonsense. I've said all along that we were the better side over the 2 legs and they didn't have a single shot on target tonight, Their second goal was a total fluke. Benzema bought the pen, then they just disrupted the rest of ET and I timed the stoppages at over 7 minutes - we weren't even given the full three. As someone else put it, 999 times of of 1000 we win that.
