2692801, Go Spurs. The whole world is counting on you.
Posted by Buck, Tue Apr-09-19 10:18 AM
2692803, That always ends well
Posted by bshelly, Tue Apr-09-19 10:59 AM
Not in the face
2692805, yeah, no. Definitely not the whole world, tho prolly most of it.
Posted by dillinjah, Tue Apr-09-19 11:38 AM
2692845, Ha. Fair enough.
Posted by Buck, Tue Apr-09-19 07:33 PM
2692818, wish both matches were on tv

2692827, Pool is on Univision

2692917, True. I just ponied up $2.99 so I could watch at my desk
Posted by smutsboy, Wed Apr-10-19 11:24 AM
As much as I loathe Bleacherreport.
2692821, Big Game Hugo showing up again
Posted by benny, Tue Apr-09-19 02:20 PM
2692824, Not a lot of defense being played in LFC/Porto
Posted by smutsboy, Tue Apr-09-19 02:35 PM
more goals to come
2692828, yoooo this is cool
Posted by benny, Tue Apr-09-19 03:39 PM
Son was like a mad dog on that play
2692832, Well how about that
Posted by bshelly, Tue Apr-09-19 04:48 PM
2692847, pyrrhic victory with kane hurt
Posted by Drizzit, Tue Apr-09-19 07:43 PM
though spurs hadn’t gelled after his return. the run in just became interesting.
2692940, rooting for Barca, this feels very strange
Posted by benny, Wed Apr-10-19 02:19 PM
2692948, Strange game.
Posted by Buck, Wed Apr-10-19 03:21 PM
2692951, boring game
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Wed Apr-10-19 03:53 PM
we know barca is better but we couldve at least tried to make them prove it.
2693489, *whispers* i think we advance
Posted by bshelly, Tue Apr-16-19 07:48 AM
it's just a feeling, and I'll almost certainly look stupid. But Citeh hasn't looked like world destroyers recently. I think we nick one and go through.
2693517, I think you gotta save your strength here, for the weekend.
Posted by Buck, Tue Apr-16-19 10:32 AM
Send out the reserves tomorrow--foul 'em, wear 'em down good--and then beat the crap out of them on Saturday.

That's definitely how Poch should play it.
2693519, fuck that
Posted by bshelly, Tue Apr-16-19 10:36 AM
we have a chance to make the semi finals of the damn Champions League. That opportunity only came to us once in the entire history of the CL. We are not punting on this, and if it costs us the top 4, so be it.
2693525, lol
Posted by Buck, Tue Apr-16-19 11:00 AM
I know, man. I just want City to not win the league much more than I want to see Spurs win the CL.

I mean, no, I don't actually think Poch should play a B team in the CL quarters.
2693524, Hope you're right, but it looks tough
Posted by B9, Tue Apr-16-19 10:55 AM
If Ali and Winks are both hurt, and with Kane out, I don't think they have the ability to score one if needed and a thin squad can't really run 90 minutes of pressing again.
2693526, Another hard, good read from the Guardian

2693552, i really hope ashley young's leg falls off.
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Tue Apr-16-19 02:19 PM
its like playing a man down w/ him.
2693553, yeah de gea def didn't help his rep in Spain with that one...
Posted by dillinjah, Tue Apr-16-19 02:20 PM
2693554, nahhhhhhhhh b this nigga DDG is on the take.
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Tue Apr-16-19 02:23 PM
2693555, forever yung cdot w/ another one.
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Tue Apr-16-19 02:33 PM
2693558, ajax equalized...game on.
Posted by dillinjah, Tue Apr-16-19 02:37 PM
2693569, Dat filthy dip from Countinho
Posted by benny, Tue Apr-16-19 03:21 PM
2693571, a Coutinho Classic
Posted by smutsboy, Tue Apr-16-19 03:30 PM
<3
2693580, Been waiting on those all season!
Posted by Hitokiri, Tue Apr-16-19 04:05 PM
2693570, ajax! that was well deserved
Posted by dillinjah, Tue Apr-16-19 03:28 PM
2693572, they've been running juve out of the stadium this half
Posted by smutsboy, Tue Apr-16-19 03:30 PM
2693576, absolutely zero fluke to this
Posted by bshelly, Tue Apr-16-19 03:58 PM
they just kicked juve's ass up and down the pitch, just like real. i'd be pleasantly petrified to have to deal with them next round.
2693573, Ajax pressing for more
Posted by cgonz00cc, Tue Apr-16-19 03:44 PM
2693575, could have easily had a few more.
Posted by smutsboy, Tue Apr-16-19 03:57 PM
2693574, Wow. Gonna have to be a reckoning in Turin.
Posted by Buck, Tue Apr-16-19 03:54 PM
2693578, Well, that made my year.
Posted by khn, Tue Apr-16-19 03:59 PM
Somehow this makes Juve winning Serie A by 20 points ok.
2693581, Great day of football!
Posted by Hitokiri, Tue Apr-16-19 04:10 PM
Barça win
Messi brace (including that filthy first one)
Coutinho goal
Ajax win
Ronaldo loses
Juve out

Great fucking day.
2693688, this game wildin
Posted by benny, Wed Apr-17-19 02:08 PM
2693691, Ridiculous
Posted by dillinjah, Wed Apr-17-19 02:13 PM
2693692, I only missed the first 15! The hell is going on?
Posted by Buck, Wed Apr-17-19 02:19 PM
Just tuned in. Thought it maybe would be 1-0 City. Is Spurs gonna away-goal this sumbitch?
2693696, Are Spurs better without Kane?
Posted by Buck, Wed Apr-17-19 02:37 PM
2693735, Kim > Kan't
Posted by FILF, Wed Apr-17-19 10:00 PM
2693699, KDB is ridiculous
Posted by benny, Wed Apr-17-19 03:20 PM
2693701, they should have sent a poet

2693704, Hahahahaha.
Posted by dillinjah, Wed Apr-17-19 03:53 PM
2693705, HOLY FUCK VAR

Posted by dillinjah, Wed Apr-17-19 04:09 PM
right
2693713, Yep!
Posted by calminvasion, Wed Apr-17-19 04:32 PM
Focus on UCL, hell I want them in the final
2693760, head sez yes.
Posted by dula dibiasi, Thu Apr-18-19 09:15 AM
heart: does not compute
2693710, WOW.
Posted by B9, Wed Apr-17-19 04:02 PM
2693716, VAR getting it right
Posted by LA2Philly, Wed Apr-17-19 06:16 PM
2693721, it nearly always does
Posted by smutsboy, Wed Apr-17-19 06:48 PM
2693758, Pep's take on the Llorente goal is the wrong one re: VAR
Posted by B9, Thu Apr-18-19 08:43 AM
If it takes a freeze frame of the muscle movement of Llorente's arm from a weird alt angle to determine there was a glance off it before it hits his hip, then that isn't clear and obvious evidence to overturn the original decision. The last manager on earth that should be baying for that sort of dissection in the game to spot something that hidden is Pep.
2693766, yep
Posted by smutsboy, Thu Apr-18-19 10:21 AM
Also his arm was in a natural position and it came off his chest last.

It was the right call.
2693719, I’m dead now I’ll miss you guys
Posted by bshelly, Wed Apr-17-19 06:36 PM
2693720, That has to be one of the single wildest games in CL history
Posted by smutsboy, Wed Apr-17-19 06:47 PM
if not the single wildest
2693748, still kind of on a high from the spurs match
Posted by bleekgilliam_420, Wed Apr-17-19 11:44 PM
they are probably going to get thrashed this weekend, but IDC, IDC, IDC....they somehow are in the semis when like half the team is injured. this game was basically how this entire season has gone. with the ups and downs.
2693750, Considering the teams history, it best to keep it that way
Posted by FILF, Thu Apr-18-19 12:20 AM
>they are probably going to get thrashed this weekend, but
>IDC, IDC, IDC...

I'm going to pull out my '95 Patrick Kluivert jersey & enjoy the show.
2693761, Semi final kryptonite in effect
Posted by bshelly, Thu Apr-18-19 09:24 AM
2693751, make it a double pls
Posted by smutsboy, Thu Apr-18-19 12:28 AM
tx
2693759, somehow i missed every goal in that game lol
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Thu Apr-18-19 08:49 AM
2693880, Different game today.
Posted by Buck, Sat Apr-20-19 07:11 AM
Gazzaniga is not inspiring confidence.
2693884, Ugh. Spurs were the best team left on City's schedule.
Posted by smutsboy, Sat Apr-20-19 09:39 AM
:/
2693887, Took one for the world today
Posted by bshelly, Sat Apr-20-19 10:54 AM
Nobody needs pool fans with something to brag about for once.
2693905, Surely Utd can get a draw.
Posted by Buck, Sat Apr-20-19 04:31 PM
At home, derby, re-energized with new coach.

Surely they can get a draw.

Surely they can.

Surely.
2693943, Not if they play like this
Posted by bshelly, Sun Apr-21-19 08:14 AM
If this is the best defense they can manage, city is scoring six on Wednesday. Ole starting to look like they married the rebound chic.
2693947, Jesus. Never thought I'd be so disappointed in a shitty Utd performance.
Posted by Buck, Sun Apr-21-19 09:31 AM
So often a cause for celebration.
2693895, Ajax & PSV secured the bag for eredivisie in 20-21
Posted by cgonz00cc, Sat Apr-20-19 03:15 PM
with both qualifying for group and ajax going on a run, eredivisie is bumped to 11th in the coefficient rankings for 2019.

with no active teams below them, unless im misreading the rules, dutch champ gets automatic group spot and runner up enters at 3rd qualifying round.

2693945, Utd: wow
Posted by smutsboy, Sun Apr-21-19 08:56 AM
2693946, Ole!
Posted by bshelly, Sun Apr-21-19 08:59 AM
2693949, Nothing wrong with Ole.
Posted by PROMO, Sun Apr-21-19 10:08 AM
Problem is at least 1/3 of the players arent fit to wear the kit based on skill/ability. The rest look to be playing with no concept of team in mind. even De Gea has been assjuice of late where he is usually stoning attackers. Utd have allowed more goals this season than any previous season.

now, the big issue is rebuilding if we dont have CL football to sell to targets.
2693962, Toonces at the wheel?
Posted by Castro, Sun Apr-21-19 02:30 PM
2693964, "i told you he could manage a big club! just not very well!!"
Posted by dula dibiasi, Sun Apr-21-19 03:58 PM
2693948, Wow they already quit on Ole loooooool
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Sun Apr-21-19 09:32 AM
Lord I'd hate to manage these. Strip it down and start over.
2693950, mustafi. fucking mustafi.
Posted by dillinjah, Sun Apr-21-19 11:29 AM
2693971, Dogg!?!!
Posted by calminvasion, Sun Apr-21-19 07:32 PM
2693972, i know a bad CB when i see one
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Sun Apr-21-19 07:52 PM
and he is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.
2693973, United: We know bad center backs.
Posted by PROMO, Sun Apr-21-19 07:59 PM
2693977, bro, I don't even know what to say
Posted by LA2Philly, Sun Apr-21-19 08:31 PM
fucking joke
2693951, lol @ old man Milner’s goal celebration
Posted by smutsboy, Sun Apr-21-19 11:57 AM
A+
2694264, Citeh should look past Utd
Posted by smutsboy, Wed Apr-24-19 12:34 PM
just my 2¢
2694303, No such luck, but at least Utd appear to be trying today.
Posted by Buck, Wed Apr-24-19 02:40 PM
2694308, Marcus you gotta finish one of those bro
Posted by smutsboy, Wed Apr-24-19 03:20 PM
2694311, Worthless team.
Posted by Buck, Wed Apr-24-19 03:26 PM
2694314, for a couple years DDG made up for serious liabilities
Posted by smutsboy, Wed Apr-24-19 03:31 PM
Guess those days are over.
2694330, I'm just praying Real Madrid still wants him.
Posted by PROMO, Wed Apr-24-19 05:35 PM
2694316, if only the board hadnt sat on their hands all summer.
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Wed Apr-24-19 03:46 PM
sacrificed this season and probably next one just to get one over on Jose. these players fucking suck.
2694331, Should probably take a moment to mock Arsenal as well.
Posted by Buck, Wed Apr-24-19 05:59 PM
My assumption is that nobody actually wants to finish fourth.
2694651, United is gonna end up 4th, aren’t they
Posted by dillinjah, Sun Apr-28-19 07:25 AM
2694705, Update: no
Posted by bshelly, Sun Apr-28-19 07:22 PM
2694661, You can't count on Burnley for anything.
Posted by Buck, Sun Apr-28-19 09:35 AM
Damn them.
2694663, They stood up for a half
Posted by smutsboy, Sun Apr-28-19 09:59 AM
but City were relentless in the 2nd

This season will come down inches: their goal today, and LFC's non goal the last time they met, both VAR a few inches one way or the other.

So it goes.
2694664, seems like Pogba-Matic-Herrera havent played together since '18
Posted by cgonz00cc, Sun Apr-28-19 10:44 AM
2694665, herrera and matic have been injured most of 2019
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Sun Apr-28-19 10:50 AM
nice seeing us look a little better out the back w/the chucklefuck duo out today
2694671, PSG is gonna overpay for Herrera
Posted by cgonz00cc, Sun Apr-28-19 12:16 PM
but Man U looks so much better when he plays. Pogba individually as well. seems like he gets way more forward and in the first half he made a bunch of nice hold up plays close to the box
2694666, de gea is on the take. im convinced.
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Sun Apr-28-19 11:14 AM
2694667, De gea has to be on the take.
Posted by dillinjah, Sun Apr-28-19 11:15 AM
2694668, Give Sergio Romero a run out at this point.
Posted by PROMO, Sun Apr-28-19 11:23 AM
De Gea literally costing us results.
2694670, That looked pretty bad for Bailly.
Posted by Buck, Sun Apr-28-19 12:03 PM
2694672, Alexis Sanchez's entire Man U experience in one 50/50 ball
Posted by cgonz00cc, Sun Apr-28-19 12:18 PM
2694673, so DeGea probably cost us Top 4. nice.
Posted by PROMO, Sun Apr-28-19 12:31 PM
is Real Madrid still interested?
2694703, he also got you top 4 for a couple years there so
Posted by smutsboy, Sun Apr-28-19 07:14 PM
nearly singlehandedly
2694704, This is United when DDG is merely very good
Posted by bshelly, Sun Apr-28-19 07:21 PM
Instead of the greatest keeper who has ever lived, like he was last year.
2694707, Nah he's actually been garbage most of the year.
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Sun Apr-28-19 07:34 PM
Flaming garbage since contract negotiations started a few weeks ago
