Insightful.

Genuinely, Ronaldo would not get into the Liverpool team. That's not to say he is/isn't a better player than Salah/Firmino/Mane, but he's a completely different type of player and it just wouldn't work in the same way. He offers absolutely **** all in a match these days, but scores goals. Liverpool don't operate that way. I don't particularly understand the hatred for Liverpool - particularly when compared to a genuinely scummy club like Real Madrid.
-
They're in the CL final. There will be no concerns.
-
A wonder strike and a harsh penalty in the last, what, 5(?) minutes made the tie look somewhat closer than it really was. 2 harsh penalties and an own goal accounted for 50% of Roma's goals over the 2 legs. They didn't offer anywhere near enough IMO and Liverpool could've probably turned it on more if needed. Leaky defence is pretty kind.
-
Pretty comfortable really - great entertainment in both legs. Fingers crossed they dick on Real in the final.
-
Maybe so - but you've still got to respect the managers' decision, even if you don't agree with them. e.g: Olivier Giroud, who is seemingly just a super sub these days - his goals/minute ratio must be immense. Carroll didn't come on against Man City and, instead of sitting on the bench like a normal footballer, went off to sulk in the dressing room instead. I mean, for **** sake.
-
Not at all - Bayern absolutely dominated Real, but didn't take their chances. Nothing even remotely close to "dispatched with ease".
-
This is true - but potentially worth noting that Real (and Bayern, FWIW) have not given a shit about the league for absolutely ages. Quite surprising to see a team just completely give up on competing in the manner that they have, but that's what has happened. Will be a different midfield performance against Liverpool/Roma.
-
Horrible team with World's most obnoxious player as their focal point. That moment where Asensio(?) slipped over and then stayed down "injured" holding his leg - I wish Bayern had played on. The moment in the area where Navas and Varane went down "injured" - ref should've pointed Varane off the pitch for treatment. I hate that gamesmanship so much. Real were outclassed in both legs but go through; urgh. Genuinely hope Liverpool/Roma destroy them.

Assuming you mean in the relegation battle... Blues 0-2 Fulham Bolton 2-1 Forest Derby 3-2 Barnsley Preston 2-0 Burton
-
I don't understand the need to constantly rate leagues against other leagues (I'm guessing we're all brainwashed by the constant "PREMIER LEAGUE IS THE BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD!!" stuff from Sky) - can't people just enjoy them for what they are? That goal is **** incredible. Fair play Aus.
-
**** this Madrid team. Just a bunch of cheats and dirty ****. Varane going down on the byline over nothing and Ramos having a go at the ref. Such an embarrassingly pathetic side. Hope Bayern somehow manage to dick them.
-
Literally no comment on this. But outrage over a bus. Superb
-
If Bolton win and Blues lose, I'd say a 4-goal swing is actually very likely, rather than very unlikely... ...but I can't see Burton or Barnsley winning, so the point is moot really.
-
It's hardly an uncommon theme to not perform against perceived lower quality sides (or for lower quality sides to bring a better game against "bigger" sides etc.). I mean, look at us this season - beaten Wolves, Cardiff and Fulham at home, but lost to Sheff Wed and QPR.
-
I know what you're saying here - but what a pathetic state of affairs that such action is needed. The public should see a bunch of lying muppets in charge and just vote against them next time out. But, nope.
-
They've scored more than any other side outside the top 6 and are still battling for 8th place. The football would have to be pretty awful for that to be an issue, surely!
-
I thought it was more the players. Leicester's players have apparently downed tools (yet again, lol, what a great bunch) for their manager so I don't think he'll be there at the start of next season.
-
In which case, it wasn’t aimed at everyone. God, we’re a sensitive bunch.
-
I agree with all of this, but I don't see how that demonstrates being "tactically and mentally stronger"? Arsenal had plenty of chances to kill off the game but didn't take them and then lapsed and conceded. Sure, typical Arsenal, but nothing amazing that Atletico did. They defended very well - that's their entire being. That's what this Simeone side does; defend, defend, defend. It's no surprise at all that they were still able to defend when a player light by sacrificing their offence.
-
Not sure about this. I know it’s trendy to hate English teams in Europe, but Atletico did absolutely nothing yet scored after (yet another) a defensive error. Is that really being “tactically and mentally stronger”?
-
Because of talent? I mean, that’s only a list of appearances.
-
Possibly for promotion overall, but not for the title (although I'm not sure how this differs tbh). People who aim wages at Bruce as a measure of underachievement are somewhat narrow-minded.
-
The amount of dislike in football in staggering - and particularly with this somewhat weird validation that giving players abuse is completely OK. Agbonlahor is a limited striker who has given us some great moments. I'm sure it will be emotional for him and I hope the fans give him a good send off.
