Porto Away - CL Match Thread

[jason]

This is the terrible thing that is going to happen. City win a domestic treble, claiming they never wanted to win that corrupt (ha!) CL anyway. Then Spurs beat us in the final, Spergy Kane coming back just in time to help beat us. Then I give up football.

Damn you're good.

The Lorrente goal, his arm was in against his body, so is that hand ball still?
I though it was hand to ball or arms in an unnatural position?

 

[Shay_K]

Now they are going for the quadraplegic.

What CITY BUYING KANE?

 

[KopRed]

Let's hope Spurs are loving this competition so much that they will make another mammoth effort to get something from the City game.

Poch's teamtalk writes itself.

 

[Modo]

So are we booing Suarez and Coutinho when they visit?

 

[KopRed]

Liverpool through, Manchester (THE WHOLE CITY) FUCKED OUT. lol 🙂

They dont have to worry about that stadium cluster fuck issue now.

The city's free.

 

[singlerider]

Have God and Macca had plastic surgery or something?

I don't get how they're looking so haggard when they're not that much older than me...

 

[Mystic]

Sweet sweet tears...

Considering uploading this to PornHub.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Amazing.

Funniest thing I’ve ever seen in football

I'd forgotten about the League cup. Yeah, treble. It's even worse.

No that's small-time stuff. The Liverpool crowd usually gives former players a warm reception - unless they have a grudge against them for some reason.

We can all agree that Guardiola needs to give Kurt Cobain his cardigan back

Not sure it"s free, but Macca and Fowler chipped in a fiver each and bought most of it and still got change

As delighted as we are that City's confidence took a knock today, they essentially won the game tonight still. And have about 5/6 FRESH top class players to come in and rotate.

This Spurs side looked completely fucked at the end, lost their best CM (Sissoko) and will be partying all night, and afford to lose the game on Sunday. I actually don't see the motivation for Poch to risk anyone on Sunday. He will rotate and bring in the likes of Walker Peters and Skipp.

The only thing tonight has done has increased our chances of winning the CL and probably reduced our chances in the league.

P.s. How pissed would we all be had Sterling scored that offside goal on Sunday (and it was a winner), and there was no VAR to chalk it off.

But he can keep hold of the shotgun for now

 

[Halmeister]

Nah Suarez should get a good reception. Coutinho should be ignored.

They deserved to go through yeah, they were far better, just not very good in defence

No.

Agreed

This is exactly what I think will happen.

 

[Farkmaster]

Given how we used the money we should probably applaud coutinho.

 

[eecheerow]

Sweet sweet tears...

That’s fucking mental to disallow that.

Huh?

Conversely, Spurs have a mental edge over City and know how to hurt them, it could go either way, but the one thing we know for sure is that City aren't winning the quadruple, and Spurs will struggle a lot more against Ajax and either us or Barcelona.

You are discounting how destructive this defeat could be mentally. This is the competition they wanted above all others.

I agree but they do have a point. Spurs play Brighton on Tuesday, it would be smart to have their best players fresh for that one.

That's how I see it. The emotional energy they were putting into this quadruple, and the sense of destiny crushed is hopefully going to have an effect. Meanwhile the Spurs lads will walk out feeling 10 foot tall in a stadium in which they've just created their favourite footballing memory. The Spurs supporters are going to make it sound like a home game too in the Emptyhad.

They play Man united on the Wednesday.
