Jota is a little bastard pest like

Fabinho confused that his usual assault masquerading as a tackle got punished

Brilliant from Valverde

GTFI

Good hair tonight imo

Diaz skilfully avoids assault, FK against

Trent loves a rubbish shot from miles out

Don't

That it's provoked about 8 pages of discussion and confusion to me proves the rule is a bit of a mess

Christ, feel like I just don't understand this offside law any more, crazy

Aye not sure it was though unless I just don't understand offside anymore like

disallowed...why?

Considering the occasion, an almost impressive lack of shithousing so far, game is flowing well

Carvajal trying to swing Diaz around by his snorkel hood

Madrid don't face this weekly, it's almost unique

Courtois is as good as it gets, if Madrid somehow win this, he's going to be a huge factor

Not sure Madrid are physically equipped for this like. Totally different to what they face weekly in Spain, they'll be lathered by the hour mark.

Beating Courtouis is a problem like

That wasn't the statement I was responding to, the 80's were mentioned. I wasn't at games in the 70s, take your word for it.

I'm saying I never personally saw any real bother from them 84-89, they never brought more than a couple of thousand to St James for any game in that era. I attended all of them.

Nah

Count me as one who'd be ever so slightly disappointed if we didn't sign him, especially after chasing him all of January and AS claiming he still wanted to join in that later interview. Young, powerful, strong CB who could grow brilliantly with us.

Cannavaro and Seedorf looking in good nick there like, brilliant players

Stunning news. As a fanbase, they've traditionally been so law abiding.

Doubtful we'd be in for Mings, despite Howe's admiration of him in the past. Konsa is injured and will miss the start of Villa's season so they probably need him anyway. I'd like to see us go for Badiashile if Botman is a non-starter. He was supposed to be going to Milan but haven't heard any more on that.
