cl last 16 2nd legs

[budfox]

Seems to me that VAR can be a good thing, but it is also a tool for cheating.

Had there not been a late penalty appeal then there's no discussion about last night's game, but once you get to a VAR ruling in that situation, faceless officials get to choose who qualifies.

According to BT, the rags "made history" last night. Anyone know what history they made?

First time in EC/CL history a side has lost the first leg at home by 2 clear goals and progressed. There had been 34 previous instances. It is a remarkable feat, regardless of how the result came about.

What a piece of history. I'm so jealous..

If we are going through we are going to play against them.

I am ok with that result. PSG would cause us more problems than Utd. It also gives Ole the job full time which i also think is a bad idea. That will set them back years. They wont win this and they wont compete for the league next year. Suits me.

I would take any of the four teams through so far.

One thing to learn is not to be complacent next week, we have seen psg and Real humbled in their own backyard despite looking comfortable. That was pract a reserve rag team so if they can beat psg 3-1 we can lose to schalke if we are anyway complacent.

Don’t wanna speak to soon but the champs league is really opening up nicely

This is the one big takeaway. Don't fuck it up City!

Last night showed again that given the opportunity, UEFA will fuck PSG over which is what we've already seen before with us. Truth of the matter is that we will have to play the perfect game in the latter stages of this corrupt competion, smash teams in order for the outside influences and dark arts not to impact us. It's been blatant as fuck over recent years but we need a mentality that gets us past that. The first leg in Schalke showed that we do possess the cajones- we are going to need a whole set more. As an earlier post said, we have got to like the way the quarters are panning out, possibly all four English teams through and no way will they be kept apart, We would tear spuds and rags apart over two legs and I'd fancy us to beat the dippers if we can finish Schalke off

A Spanish anti Catalan referee from Madrid in the next round by any chance????

Not opening up for us. No chance.

After that VAR decision last night I’m not sure i want to watch our home game....pretty clear they want us and PSG out and will do everything in their powers to make sure it happens.
Watch out for a dodgy sending off and pen!

I hope we are barred from this competition next year.....its the most corrupt fucking competition in world football.

If PeP doesn't understand , even now , why we still boo this shit then he is beyond help.

I want us to win everything we're in for, but I'm relieved slightly when we're knocked out of this every season as it's just corrupt to fuck and I feel it knocks the players confidence.

Unfortunately its a big deal for the owners, and I dare say every professional player , so we need to be in it regardless of how I and others feel.

I personally take more pleasure from winning the premiership and a LC or FA cup int he same season over this shite CL farce.

I can't agree. They were literally, actually quite literally, handed it. It is a disgraceful situation.

This.

Two PSG cock ups and a back room money man.

How do you reach that conclusion? I know he didn't do very well at Cardiff, but seriously, who would've?
He's been good in Norway. Why couldn't he be the real deal? I'm not saying he is, but surely it's too soon to judge either way?

Last night was down to the arrogance of PSG the fucked up Ego's and show boaters, who decided rather than kill off the scum twats they would toy with them, well look what happens when you give a dog a chance to bite back, THEY HAD A HAND IN EVERY GOAL !. Do I like it, yes I fucking love the away games with my mates and the thousands of blues. I have hated the decisions we have had in Munich, Barca and at the Etihad last season V the scousers but I have always said Football is bent, we are new to the party as are PSG. No offence here but if you do not travel away with this City, not the eighties crap of on the piss 0-4 you will never get it IMHO. This is the greatest time to be a blue and a night in Madrid, Lyon or Barcelona beats the shit out of a night in Burnley.

[Mase]

Tell you what though, whilst the rags have been crap I've thought "Liverpool fans are far worse with the crappy gloating"....last night reminded me why I fuckin detest the Salford rats.

Let's not kid ourselves, the rags are the second biggest spenders in the league, they are not some tiny minnow with a tight budget. The squad they have they should be in top 4 if not 2. The state the special need one left them in took any pressure and expectation for his replacement. It's a different game ball when you are expected to win and backed in the transfer market. It's all good having this great form, but how will he react when things go wrong? Maybe he is the real deal, I have a feeling their bubble will burst and he will turn out to be an average tactician with only good motivational skills.
