Grealish makes me laugh.
He committed the first bad foul of the game then complains when he gets it back.

Not sure if City are pushing RM back or it’s their tactics.?

Are Real Madrid trying to emulate Athletico in the unlikeable scale. Diving all over the place, Carvajal pretending to be seriously injured to get a City player sent off, despite no contact, and furiously claiming for handball at any opportunity.

I know all teams play the dark arts, but Real seem to be on overdrive with it tonight

It's interesting how different people see things. I've been to the pub to watch the game tonight and just got home. Logged on to post that I thought the ref had a good game.
Yes I thought that.
He did well with the play acting and constant penalty shouts.

but he let some quite nasty fouls go in the first half.
then booked players for similar things second half.
just a bit inconsistent imo.

Bought in to Real’s ugly antics from the off.
Carverham should have been booked for trying to put an opponent through the hoardings. (That’s not a typo btw).

That Vinicius isn’t a bad player 😬

Jack Grealish certainly living up to the price tag now,been class this season.

It sets the return leg up nicely for the neutral,I can’t see them keeping Haaland as quiet at the Etihad.

I thought this sums it up quite well. The return leg will be interesting to say the least.

Whilst city were being city last night luckily at the same time I could watch a boys v girls game behind me. The boys were smaller so I assume younger. They hammer the girls. I saw oooi about six goals but if the boys had a decent striker I would have seen 20, and I was only glancing at the game. They were about 12 yo v 14 yo.

Pretty inspirational stuff, regardless of league or who you support and what can be achieved with the right mindset, worth the few minute watch in my opinion 👍🏻
Respect. But as he says he had to reach a rock bottom in getting jailed; and he had to start being honest about himself to himself, and realise and accept that he had to change the way he dealt with life emotionally. Once he was doing that he discovered that the world could become his oyster. Good man.

A few RM players should not have completed the match. Disgraceful. Shows how far they have fallen. If doodah from dortmand wants to go there he's making a massive mistake

From the BBC Sport “Gossip” page this morning;

“Manchester United are ready to rival Arsenal and Chelsea for the signature of Declan Rice after being impressed with the 24-year-old England midfielder's performance for West Ham against the Red Devils on Sunday.”

Seriously, who writes this garbage? Regardless of whether United are interested in signing Rice, this is written as though nobody at the club had ever seen him play before the weekend.

Yeah because that’s just what Chelsea need.
£120m for Rice is crazy.

Sources close to the club (Sullivan) are now saying a Money plus Player deal could be entertained… So champions league team supporters, who you offering (do not say Mctominay or Fred FFS😆)

My preference is the Arsenal striker Balogun on loan at Reims.
