Too bad we have to play there.

Very unlucky. Had it not been postponed we maybe couldve beaten that lot.
Now, Benitez and our form? Who knows

Or we pack the team with defensive players when we need to win, but get a creditable point
City and sniffing knickers.
Come on Blues.

If they play like they have during this 2nd half we don't even have a chance of winning. #effort

We could learn a lot watching Leicester. They finish almost all of their attacks with some sort of effort at goal.

Leicester have conded only 7 goals since boxing day.

I wonder if Manuel would criticze the way theyve been playing. I know Ranieri wont. I know the fans wont.

More importantly, the PL table won't either

Best ball winning midfielder I saw whole season.


He's been good, but I think Kante has been a step better this year, and one of the standout midfielders in the league. Kante seems like a mix of the two Ferns (without some of Fern1's attacking play). Basically fern2 in the tackle, but with fern1's burst of speed and skill to keep possession. Here's a random compilation of his play last night:

Also got to love Ranieri for how pumped up he's getting all the players. Even in the 90th minute he's yelling from the sideline like a madman, but in a positive way.

Since it's not our year, I hope Leicester go on and win it for a nice story-tale finish. A nice fuck off to all (non Man City) big money clubs

Huge scandal on Bayern”s official twatter page. Did not see, but it seems that they posted a some weird picture that was actually something like this:

its something to do with Buffon, the image usually has Buffon with the slogan, you can see they have crossed out with a red X and put Nueur in there. Its just social media nonsense as usual

According to the comments from the official page, people think train line are like the ones of Dachau.

Social media madness, Bayern even reacted.

I don't often wish for success to Arse but today I'm hoping they'll pull off a miracle

Barcelona win for me and for them to really put the boot in. A spanking, together with their recent poor form is likely to mean them losing further games, rather than them going through which would give the club a massive lift which would transcend into more wins.

Never want English clubs to do well in Europe. This is no exception.

So to watch Bayern - Juve or Arse - Barca?

Always nice to watch an English team, especially vs Barca (and can be fun to see arse lose). But the other game is 2-2 and has the potential to be great. Also a chance to see our soon to be manager under pressure in a big game.... decisions, decisions

Easy choice for me. Bayern v Huve. It's 0-1 now as well as Alaba and Neuer fucked up
