Champions League 2018/19: A Visca Wanda

[Toby Gymshorts]

That's one back.

Neymar really is a preening little shithouse. Visibly crapped himself when Van Dijk told him where to go.

[treibeis]

Right, I know this, now.
Jimmy Milner just scored a penalty against a team wearing white shirts.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Succinctly put.

[hobbes]

My favourite bit was when Gomez got booked for having his shirt pulled by Neymar who fell over when he lost his grip.

[Third rate Leszno]

Was that (a) inside the box, and (b) even a foul? He looked like he really had to throw himself at it to get the foul.

Meanwhile I may have lost my voice calling Neymar a cunt. I hope someone snaps him in two before the end of this.

[hobbes]

Yeah it was both. Went to VAR n'all I think.

Edit. No it didn't, there isn't VAR. Looked like the ref consulted though.

The clearest penalty I've ever seen. Absolutely terrible from Di Maria.

[EIM]

There isn't VAR in the CL this season. The official behind the goal told the ref to give his head a wobble, because Di Maria had launched himself two-footed off the ground, flying through the air for about 30 yards like off Shaolin Soccer.

[Third rate Leszno]

Fair enough. At full speed it looked a bit like Mane had seen him flying in and thought Fuck me I’d better make sure I get caught by that and made a desperate leap in the general direction.

[Diable Rouge]

Right, I know this, now.
Jimmy Milner just scored a penalty against a team wearing white shirts.

Could be an historic night, as up to now they've never lost when he has scored.

[ursus arctos]

Napoli 2-0 up on Zvezda at the half.

No goals at all in the Tottenham group

[EIM]

Fair enough. At full speed it looked a bit like Mane had seen him flying in and thought Fuck me I’d better make sure I get caught by that and made a desperate leap in the general direction.

He looked to be on his way down when he got hit, I think. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a penalty.

[Toby Gymshorts]

My favourite bit was when Gomez got booked for having his shirt pulled by Neymar who fell over when he lost his grip.

Or when Verratti tried to snap his leg and only got a yellow.

[EIM]

Liverpool should bring Salah on.

[Toby Gymshorts]

In all seriousness they should bring Shaqiri on. PSG have had an hour of playing against 10.

[Third rate Leszno]

Taking Cavani off is spoiling my fun - it was fascinating watching Mbappe and Neymar doing everything they could to avoid passing to him.

[Janik]

Obliquely related to this thread, there is a match tonight in the Championship between two former European Cup winners (back when it was called that and qualification was difficult). It's proving to be some game - Villa currently lead Forest 5-4.

[Janik]

Actually, make that 5-5.

[Satchmo Distel]

Very good goal from Spurs. Deserved lead.

[Satchmo Distel]

Barcelona could take it easy against Spurs to put Inter out. Revenge for 2010.

[Janik]

PSG are a right bunch of shitbags, aren't they?

[Toby Gymshorts]

That's something of an understatement.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

Jesus christ, what the fuck is going on with the Paris St Germain players? Are they all on the Panzerchocolat? All that manly posturing is hilarious. Are they having testosterone injections at half time? Because the American footballers they are copying probably do.

Also what on earth did marco Veratti have to do to get sent off? Even an england international in a Super sunday spectacular would have at least picked up one second yellow card. It's really annoying to watch liverpool lose a game, and have the whole thing ruined by the twattiness of the opposition.

[Third rate Leszno]

Frustrating, that. Much better second half but had left ourselves too much to do. Neymar is some cunt, like. Big thanks to Salah, Keita and Mane for fucking off down the tunnel without so much as a glance in our direction, cheers for that lads, nice to know you appreciate the sacrifice and effort that goes into these away trips from the fans.

[EIM]

Can't believe Manchester United might go further than Liverpool in the CL this season, despite only scoring one goal at home in the whole group stage. And if Spurs go out too, I think it's safe to say that the bottle slammer, the Big I Am, is again rightfully on his throne as the second best manager in England.
