I've been watching football for almost 40 years and certainly as a neutral, I would say that was one of the most enjoyable games I've seen for so many different reasons.

It was absolutely box office and that is why the Premier League is the best league in the world by an absolute country mile!

 

 

 

Carragher really doesn't know his arse from a hole in the ground.

Best league in the world. Apart from the sportswashing. And the incompetent/biased referees. And the worst application of VAR in any of the major leagues. And the constant shithousing, diving, feigning of (head) injuries. And the tragedy chanting. And the hypocritical managers. And the vacuous pundits. And the agenda -driven journos (Bluto ,I’m looking at you). And the rip off ticket and tv subscription prices.

(But let’s not let any of that undermine the narrative, WE HAVE A PRODUCT TO SELL!)

Yeah but apart from that.

Good start for Borussia Dortmund 

[Bjornebye]

 

[JohnnyH]

I’ll be properly pissed off if Newcastle and Man Utd end up in the UEFA Cup.  I want them finishing 2nd or 4th in their groups. Ideally 2nd in fact so they are kept busy for at least 2 more games. 

[Burgess]

Fake money thrown onto the pitch too 

[Megadrive Man]

I was just thinking the exact same thing. We could end up playing Newcastle five times this season if they drop down.

[Creator Supreme]

The big threat is Sevilla dropping into the EL. Need them fuckers through, or 4th.

 

If they drop in the EL it's a done deal!

Blubber dinghy rapids, brother Stig.

[Lee909]

I'd hate to play these cheating cunts in the Europa League. Would be 2 shite games of time wasting,playing for fouls

[Lee909]

2-0 Dortmund

[TD_LFC]

Having Newcastle and Utd in the Europa isn't ideal.

Was about to say exactly the same. Very disappointing outcomes.

 

Will 5th still get a CL spot if these bums drop out?

This season won't have a effect on coefficient. 5th should be champions league

[El Rojo]

It’s not right that Jason Tindall doesn’t get to co-manage in the knock-out stages of this tournament. The real loser here is football. 

[Em City]

We'd smoke both Newcastle and especially United over two legs. The key is to avoid them in the final, although I would fancy us to beat this United team 9 times out of 10.

 

We beat Newcastle at their place with 10 men playing against 12 for 75 minutes. We beat them 2-0 at their place last season despite us being utter shite away for all of that season. 

[BeefStroganoff]

Man City are boring souless bastards arnt they? And with that robot up front are even worse.

 

No jeopardy at all with them.

[Lee909]

Giroud really is a fantastic player. Still producing at his age.

I found Barcelona the same under Pep, just the odd bit of magic from Messi to licen them up. 

[Reckoner]

Fuckin hell Newcastle are bottom of their group.

[dandyman]

Fuck me, the commentator on the city game !

 

he’s just brought up city’s unbeaten record in Europe, currently 17 games …. ‘which is quite unbelievable when you think that Pep managed that wonderful Barcelona team. To do it again at city! How he’s managed to do it at two clubs, it’s unbelievable!’

 

Not really ‘Fletch’, a billion fucking quid and 115 breaches of FFP is how
