And, we're off.....2016/17

[fundy]

Even with a win tonight, athough they've now been pegged back, and taking Liverpools 66/33, Arsenal are 9 points adrift even if they win those games in hand, and that's with needing 3 points tonight. I think this CL ship has well and truly sailed.

struggling to beat poor bottom of the league sides, half the team clearly done for the season, feel sorry for the few that are still flat out, ozil didnt dare celebrate that goal properly the dross hes served up lately (for someone reportedly wanting nearly 300k a week)

I can remember the Pineapple on your head song, will there be a new one now for a Mop 😂😂😂

remember going up to the city ground, he came on after about 60 mins, got booked on 70 mins and sent off after 75 lol. Was a fun weekend

anyone seen the penalty Ross County "won" against Celtic. Surely as bad as it gets, anyone still against retrospective action for diving?

Yes, but only where Celtic are concerned 😜😂😉

Deffo a BAFTA in the bag and in the running for the Oscars.

And the ref has the role of Mr Magoo sewn up when he gets dropped for the next batch of fixtures...

Feeling quite dizzy again being 5th, enjoy it for 24hrs and top 6 for 48hrs.

It was a good 48hrs :rofl:

To be fair it created a great decent spectacle. Shame the tie as a spectacle is over with the away goal

Referee having a shocker at the Madrid game - Camisero should have got a second yellow but he left him off and now he has booked Vidal for a clean tackle and he has gone. Both players have played the same way but ref has treated both differently - no surprise the home player gets the favourable treatment

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Brave effort from Leicester but too much to do against a superbly organised Athletico side. That I fear is the Leciester fairytale done and dusted now and back to normality but what a great two seasons and plenty of fans would have liked to have had what the Leicester fans have had winning the PL and in the CL this year. Should be safe in the PL but you can see this side being broken up now (but players and agents mainly)

 

[Dan2501]

Side was already broken up when Kante left. Only marquee player who will interest any of the big sides now is Mahrez. Doubt anyone will be in a rush to snap up any of the others.

More shockers in favour of Madrid - Camisero clearly with a dive - should have been a booking and now Ronaldo scores with a clear offside goal. Game being ruined by the officials

 

[Dan2501]

Marcelo is unbelievable. Easily the best LB in the world.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Such a shame the game was ruined by the ref - Marcelo is outstanding going forward though , been a great battle with him and Robben ,

Hungry not exactly known for their refs.
A game like this should have a top class ref .
Real very lucky imo as Bayern on top until sending off .
Dire from the officials

Video replays would have sorted this . When are they going to get this ?

 

[sawtooth]

So pleased that Real went through. Robben is such a cheating scumbag, justice has been done.

I only caught extra time...was he cheating tonight, or is this a long held personal grudge?

Both.

I happen to think that Vidal second yellow was deserved, not for the challenge but for raising his leg and tripping the Real player. That's how it looked anyhow.
