CL knockouts

[Sporting]

Evidently the two Manchester clubs played at home on the same evening back in 2008.

[Third rate Leszno]

I look forward to going in EIMs pub on the afternoon of the Man U v LFC semi final first leg and buying him a pint.

[ursus arctos]

I'm not complaining about the ties being reversed.

Which two games are they then? looked it up on worldfootball.net and I can't find two fixtures on the same day. Certainly not two CL fixtures as Man City weren't in the CL either season.

I found it here:

No, certainly not two CL games. But there were 53,000 at OT and 25,000 at City's ground.

[Patrick Thistle]

Ah I missed the league cup games on the Manchester United page.

UEFA rules wouldn't apply, but I think they've become more strict anyway regarding domestic games clashing.

[Satchmo Distel]

The QFs start this week. I think Ajax have the best chance of upsetting the expected last four of Man C, Liverpool, Barcelona, Juventus but to be honest, no side has been 100% convincing this season so I wouldn't write anybody off.

I don't like all-Premier League ties in this competition so will probably skip both legs of Man C v Spurs unless Spurs unexpectedly win the first leg.

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

Liverpool will labour to a 2-0 win tonight and then survive a mad helter-skelter ride next week that sees Porto go 4-2 up on the night with a minute to go then hit the bar in injury time.

[Sporting]

I'm starting off watching the all-English tie. And you?

[Gerontophile]

Both.

[Jah Womble]

No prizes for guessing.

Gary Lineker: "I'm glad you stayed alive to see this, Glenn (Hoddle)..."

Hoo, and indeed, ha.

[Gerontophile]

Shit, that was quick.

[Toby Gymshorts]

There's the massively-deflected opener, then. I'll take another, ooh, five or six of those?

[ursus arctos]

I am the only one who thinks that the officials are taking the piss out of City's kit choice by wearing sky blue shirts?

[Sporting]

Both.

2 tellies?

[Sporting]

Justice done

[Gerontophile]

Yeah. Obviously only use two when there are conflicting sports, or two good games on. ('Im indoors loves tennis, and I usually have the baseball on in the background.)

[elguapo4]

Justice done, I think these new rules are a joke.

[Jah Womble]

Good. Now f*** off with this nonsense.

[Sporting]

Obviously there will be opinions...

[Sporting]

Yellow card a joke as well.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Good. Now f*** off with this nonsense.

Just say fuck, for fuck's sake. <winkything>

[Sporting]

Did any City players appeal for the pen? Not clear from my feed.

[elguapo4]

Not that I saw.

[Gerontophile]

2-0
