Have they got a recording of booing?

im not talking about right decisions its about not being able to celebrate when your side scores as you dont know whether its actually a goal or not

But it stops all the ref bashing and complaining how hard done by they are.
Good to see VAR stopping the controversy

A valid point, for the match going fan it’s awful I imagine

Correct result tho

Congrats to spurs

Spurs v Barca in the final

I got a sneaky feeling about the spuds

The problem is it still isnt, most times people still want to argue the decision. I think a poll had it at 70/30 whether the spurs goal shouldve been disallowed for handball

I tend to agree for fans watching at home its better because more decisions will be correct, but for me at least, it would be another nail in the coffin of going to games (if the balance hadnt already tipped too far already!) The danger is in 5 to 10 years time games are played in stadiums with zero atmosphere and maybe half full stadiums

Another European cup semi under the German Cheerleader👌🏻

Do you get a trophy for that?


Sorry Stu couldn't resist that one, what with all the stick Arsenal fans get for their top 4 trophy.

Well i hope the neutrals liked that one. Oddly enough when we went out v Monaco and Real Madrid the City fans were gutted we went out with a whimper. Can’t say that tonight. Thought it was an excellent game.
Re VAR. Thought it was at its best tonight. None of the decisions went Citys way, but they were the correct decisions. Hopefully the fans and papers tomorrow will talking about a classic game and not VAR. Thought the ref had an excellent game.
Well done spuds. 👍

A few clubs like that already 😉 maybe more will need to get some speakers 🤔😀😉

The general gist of your post is spot on - the whole jubilation will be put on hold until the goal is “checked” and it just doesn’t work imo

Tidy game that.

Unbelievable! What an absolutely mental game! I love Llorente! I love VAR! I love football! I'm off for a lie down!

 

[Tashyboy]

Aren’t you a season ticket holder?

Dont set me off. Am close to a rant. 😂

That VAR decision was the greatest sporting come back since tiger won at the weekend 😂 they were down and out. No-one gave them a chance

 

[Jensen]

as much as i dislike Spurs, fair play to them, some result over 2 legs, especially without Kane for most of it. As for VAR, its killing it for game going fans thats for sure

That takes some saying from a Gooner. I admire your honesty fella 👍

 

[GaryK]

What a completely mental game that was!
I'm an emotional wreak right now.
We did the unthinkable by getting out of the group stage, can we do another unthinkable by winning the CL?

Yes, with a little bit of luck but it will be tough.

Incredible game last night. Thought City had nabbed it at the end, but VAR added just that little bit of extra drama. What a game of football!

Cracking game, makes peps decision to play for 0-0 in the first leg stranger when you see what city are capable of.

As for VAR, you can have (more) correct decisions or a better atmosphere. Take your pick. If there weren’t so many people moaning about human error of referees in an impossible job then it wouldn’t have come to needing VAR in the first place.

Anyone but Barca for me in ECL, 5 years of consecutive Spanish wins we need a new country winning. I think Liverpool can handle Barca ok over 2 legs as long as they're fit enough to play the high press game Klopp loves, got to think Tottenham can get past Ajax even if Real and Juve couldn't.

Imagine Tottenham winning the European Cup when Arsenal haven't.

Fancy Spurs to get skelped 3-0 at City this weekend, not that they'll care.

I think they will, Top 4 isnt Guaranteed just yet.

Heres a novel post, I think Dick has picked the best possible side for tonights game, lets hope we get the job done, the earlier we can get one the better

 

[USER1999]

What are they wearing?

Not the best 11, as I would have Leno over Cech.
