That's fucking embarassing from Jamie after what those cunts sang on the plane back from Brighton last season.

Defo mate. I'd have been laughing my arse of right there. Tonight UEFA enacted their own justice on the cheating cunts. 

 

I love it that UEFA Var officals fucked them over tonight.

Enjoying my night and then my Bitter mate sent me this. Don't begrudge it, though,as he looks likely to fuck up on

the Grealish to Liverpool tip he spent on.

£100 at 17/2?  That's a back up bet if ever I saw one.

They didn't though.  But if them believing that adversely affects them then I'm all for it.

That's what I mean. They'll think its some massive UEFA conspiracy especially with BT going on about the foul for Lyons second goal and how VAR allowed it. 

[dockers_strike]

Fucking hell, BBC's Phil McNulty "........Moussa Dembele...... restored Lyon's lead in contentious circumstances 11 minutes from time, the video assistant referee ignoring what appeared to be an obvious foul by the goalscorer before he ran on to beat Ederson."

[coachpotato]

Doesn’t matter what BBC, BT, Sky or Pep Guardiola say.

 

They’re out.

 

Failed again, unless the Carabao cup is the one they really wanted.

Just need Sevilla to do the business tomorrow to make it 3 beautiful days of football.

 

Suso to bag the winner...!

Lyon overperform against very good teams and are crap against poor sides. They will have a fighting chance.

They do, their side is filled with athletes. They regularly give PSG a hard time and beat City last season. 

Does Stacks know Ligue 1 or does Stacks know Ligue 1?

 

ALLEZ L'OL. ALLEZ L'OL. ALLEZ L'OL, ALLEZ L'OL, ALLEZ L'OL.

 

I actually thought Pep's setup was decent, haha. Putting all his snide centre mids to stop the counter. Overthought that for sure. Their journey will end against Bayern surely, but Lyon are truly good against top sides.

Could you do a post on the transfer thread on the three Lyon players we should look to bring in please?

I think at this point the general forum members should pay for access to Draft Forum members' insights -- if everyone bet per our collective guidance there would be many a rich man.

[Iceman]

That was fucking great. 

[deiseach]

That was the wafer-thin mint to round off a stupendously indulgent season.

 

[Scott_M]

Morning CHAMPIONS.
 

[The Guest]

It would never happen for money reasons and we’d lose the Anfield effect but one off games at neutral grounds for the quarter finals onwards would be brilliant I think.

Don’t think Carra did anything wrong then - I think he was as stunned as everybody else watching the game! Including Richards.

 

If he’d have burst out laughing, like I’m sure we all did, then that’d have been a bit different!

Yeah, they have been good. Having >20k from each team at the games would be great. 
 

When you see the numbers we took to Madrid, the other 7 sides could argue they’d take similar numbers, then I think it makes it un-feesable, unfortunately. 
 

Maybe keep it at 1 leg, so a club has home advantage, but increase away supporters to 25%?

 

Dunno, I’m just thinking out loud.

Yeah these games have been spot on, both teams with an equal incentive to attack instead of one maybe playing it safe to avoid an away goal, plus it would remove the home advantage of the second legs. I've even enjoyed the games every day format.

 

But like you said, if they make them one off games they are basically halving their TV advertising money, so it won't be happening but I hope we get to see something like this again in the future, maybe as a preseason tournament. 

[Grinch]

Pep needs sacking.   Going out to an abysmal Lyon side after their horror of a league campaign. 

[Guest Alex_K]

What people seem to fail to understand about City is that, for them, you cannot improve on David Silva. You cannot improve upon Sergio Aguero. You cannot improve upon Fernandinho. It is very difficult to improve upon Vincent Kompany. These are world class players central to how they've played for going on a decade. Once you start stacking all these players up it becomes very difficult to maintain that high level. They will keep thrashing sides from time to time but the consistency won't be there. It is a little bit like when Giggs, Scholes, Ferdinand etc. all faded from Utd. at the same time.

[Scott_M]

Unlike the bitter pettiness that comes our way when winning this type of award, I’d like to offer my heartfelt congratulations to KDB on a magnificent season...

 

 

...Citeh couldn’t have beaten the EFL heavyweights of Oxford & Preston and a relegation threatened Aston Villa on the way to silverware. 
 

Saying that, at least Villa have a European Cup. 

[Anubis]

I’ve no problem with De Bruyne getting it. He’s been brilliant in a sea of inconsistency.

[dockers_strike]

De bruyne is a very good footballer. But, he's been voted player of the year by other fans to stop Liverpool doing a virtual clean sweep of English awards. He was the 'best bet to stop anyone from Liverpool winning it' choice.
