Champions League Round of 16 (14th Feb - 15th Mar)

""Can't understand tits saying it's not a penalty. If they keeper comes out flying out like that he HAS TO GET THE BALL not get a tiny barely seeable touch on it and take the man clean out ffs""


From bluemoon

eh? isnt that getting the ball?
inventing some rules I see.
 
You're not. I don't know how he escapes criticism. He's not been great in years imo.
Only reason I can think of is because City are a pretty irrelevant club compared to the rest of the Top 6 so poor performances go unnoticed.
 
To a certain extent yes but several posters on here think Ligue 1 is on the same level as the Eredivise & it's near blasphemous to compare it to the Premier League.

It is blasphemous. I live in France, and aside from the top couple of teams, the quality is abysmal. I watched Lyon-St Etienne the other week and it was like watching school football.
 
Sorry to possibly ruin the romance but, aren't they really tight with Mendes?

Bernardo and Fabinho were totally Mendes signings

Rio Ave is a bit of a puppet Mendes club here in the first division. Fabinho was "owned" by Rio Ave but loaned out to Monaco... Yeah right :wenger:
 
PSG still have never been past the quarter finals of the CL, last year Monaco were knocked out before the group stages and Lyon finished bottom of their group.

The French League might have a great year this season but it was safe to say it wasn't a league of note at the very top level last season.

It's not even about the CL. It's more so the disrespect to call the league a pub league or something of the nature with very little knowledge.
 
Aguero goes down - no pen


Keeper does well to keep his legs very close to the ground after getting that slight touch on the ball. There's absolutely no way anyone could say he kicked Aguero's legs. Had they been shin high, you could argue the follow-up would've been a foul. But it isn't the case, well done to him.
 
Ahhh good BT pundits, poor Stones, has to play with Otamendi, he needs somebody better, etc etc.

Like Stones wasn't as big piece of steaming shit.
 
Oh my gosh, Otamendi is a liability and Gerrard feels for John Stones because he can't trust Otamendi. Is him for real?
 
Hopefully Monaco manage to keep most of their stars in the summer instead of the typical top 10 clubs in the world raid
 
oh yeah....stones is shit only because he doesnt have a good defensive partner....lol...The english media bias...
 
The pesky foreigner Otamendi getting the blame for Calamity-Stones being shit, how surprising.
 
KDB is half the player he should be this season. Nothing is created through the middle, Sane seems to carry all the burden going forward
 
Penalty :lol:
 
2005-2012: eight English Champions league finalists, three winners. No finalists since then.
