Christ I think we missed about 3 sitters and 2 open goals that night.

Had the game of his life against Valencia when we battered them and somehow drew 1-1.

Ramos is an incredible cunt. I was half-hoping Mandzukic was going to smack him at full-time.

I meant in terms of teams over the past 5 years that actually stood a chance of winning the Champs League tbf, don't think it came across that well in my first comment.

I was just saying outside of the top 5-6 teams in Europe, (of which Chelsea have been a part of the last 5 years or so) no one else in Europe has stood a snowballs chance in hell of winning the Champions League, and for the forseeable future won't stand a chance at winning it either, maybe that didn't come across well in my original comment, I don't know.

Not like they've been in 2 finals in the past 5 years or anything is it.

Until something drastic changes in football it's literally going to be Barca, Real, Bayern, Chelsea every year in the Champions League, it's getting boring now.

Same as always with Guardiola's teams, fantastic going forward, but if you can stop the initial stages of their build-up play the're vulnerable. Guardiola's teams have always come off as having no plan B and that was no different tonight. Also, Boateng and Dante I can't believe there are people that seriously consider Boateng to be a top 3 CB in the world. He's shite.

I hope he doesn't go to City, he 's too good for those "diddy team masquerading as a big team" fuckers, can't sell out their 44,000 seat stadium for big Champions League games. 7,000 empty seats for a game against Roma ffs.

Law committed cardinal sin no.1 there. Turned his back on his goal when his keeper is about to roll a short ball. One or the other should be communicating what's going on there.

The linesman been smoking meth there? That was miles out.

You can tell with Miller the brain is there but he doesn't quite have the legs anymore.

That's a foul on Wallace.

Suffers from the fact he's a ginger Englishman unfortunately. If he was Italian and called Paulo Roberto no one would be complaining about him. I think he's better than Simonsen, for what it's worth.

This is the kind of situation where football could learn from the 'delayed penalty' rule in ice hockey. Advantage gets played then as soon as the opposition touches the ball the ref whistles and stops play.

Neymar is one the most selfish players I've ever seen, pass the ball you dick.

The 3-5-2 working wonders there

This is much better.

Kenny, Kenny, stand there!

McCann is absolutely spot on there. Still not sure what to think of McCall's team selection, I'm willing to give him time though. Tbh we could have Guardiola managing this shower and even he would struggle to get a reaction from them. The problem is the attitude of the senior players, not the manager imo.

Murray won't win anything important until he gets rid of Mauresmo. He needs to get rid ASAP. He was successful with Lendl because Lendl didn't take whinging and throwing tantrums, and pushed him everyday, which is what you need to compete with the Big 3. He's going backward at a rate of knots in comparison to Novak and Fed.

Crazy thing is Sky are raising their prices again, even though they said they wouldn't when they signed the new TV deal, losing the CL means they've lost that revenue stream, so they have to pay for the PL TV deal somehow. One day the bubble will burst... what's going on now in the Premier League goes against every sensible economic principle you can imagine. It simply isn't sustainable.

The Best League in the World :lol: Whisper it quietly, but they're in danger of losing that 4th Champions League spot for 2017....

Atletico go through. Too many keepers either go down early or guess where the penalty is going to go nowadays, and too many takers try and wait for the keeper to go down. Oblak pretending to dive then standing his ground was really clever and messed with Leverkusen's penalty takers.

Another historic Champions League night for the "Best League in The WorldTM"
