They never are pal. I recall the dippers throwing all sorts of shit when they had level 3 and not one copper or steward seemingly did or said anything.

TNT UCL highlights show late last night said a hip injury just a couple of weeks out ?Pep just mentioned muscular injury and possibility of him being sidelined for a while
Gave Rodri the night off which will be so crucial as we get to this run of fixtures and xmas. Hopefully with more time on the pitch together, Nunes / Kova will be just fine as they are both good players, just maybe very similar and unsure how to play with each other at the moment.Like Men vs Boys.
It's a difficult scenario when things are so one sided, to derive a) something for the crowd to get up for and b) meaningful performances against weak opposition.
The approach Pep takes regularly is energy conservation, which is sensible. An absolute one-sided stroll. Shame about John Stones (and Akanji too?). The team that finished took a pinball approach to finishing.
Foden was dangerous, Grealish in control and most looked completely comfortable.
I am unsure the Nunes/Kovacic pairing works in a game with more intensity and against better opposition. Something about it lacks control and creativity.

Frustrating that Stones got injured in a game where we didn’t need to risk him. Let’s hope it’s not too serious.
About as straightforward as you can get and a fairly standard group stage victory.
Young Boys were very limited ,0 shots, 0 corners, they did get stuck in, maybe a bit too much at times!( and their fans certainly were a weird bunch!) The most taxing thing Ederson had to do was get rid of that flare!
Great goals by Foden and Haaland, though we were a bit wasteful afterwards and it would have been nice to bang in a few more (or am I just becoming spoilt/entitled here because we've scored 11 in the last 2 CL games I've been to?)
Foden, Grealish and Lewis impressed me, Kovacic and Nunes still seem to perhaps be 'bedding in'.
Knock out stages secured, new unbeaten record for English team in Europe I believe, ooh, and another lovely light show! The only real downer was the injury to Stonesey.

Funniest thing I've seen in a while at Eastlands was the south stand giving their am dram performance a sarcastic light applause like they were at the opera after one of their skits.They struck me as bit fucking odd tbh, Suppose you've got to have something to amuse yourself when you're team is crap but there's a fine line between amusing yourself and being a bunch of weirdos and they crossed it multiple times.

Where do the scum enter this list?No. of shots in the CL so far after 4 games... The best of the teams who are yet to play the fourth round is PSV with 50 shots.

Police were absolute cunts last night! Stood by and watched their fans launch all sorts, set off fireworks and smoke bombs,held aloft and done fuck all! One of ours wrongly launched something straight back at them, and 4 of the twats marched in to 111 and physically manhandled him straight out!Mate, there were little kids crying ,one guy with blood all over his head, yet as you say the stewards and police weren't in the slightest bit interested

It was pretty funny and needed when "what the fucking hell was that?" just wasn't sufficient. It was like they thought they had entered some sort of contemporary dance festival, properly bizarre.

Showed his True Colours didn't he.Straight forward win. Young boys were pretty dirty, especially Sandro Lauper he was fouling Time after Time.
