Unbelievable

Agnelli gone. They’re dropping like flies.

City have pulled out..?

I'm actually quite disgusted at how little self awareness these 12 clubs are displaying. They are not even the 12 best clubs in Europe at this point in time (the current CL champion and runner up are not in), let alone looking at the past. Since the start of the competition the CL or its predecessor was won by a non-founding club 19 times. Another 35 times the final was lost by a non-founding club. Combined in 66 finals 45 times at least one non-founding club was involved. Clubs like Ajax (4 wins, 2 lost finals) and Benfica (2 wins, 5 lost finals) are not even considered, yet their heritage in top level European competition makes a mockery of the likes of Arsenal's and Tottenham's with only one lost final to their names each. In recent decades the top clubs in the biggest competitions have been able to tilt the playing field massively in their favour through sheer commercial weight, disturbing the balance of what was a pretty fair game where 11 lads of two clubs turned up to kick a ball around and see who's best. Any half talented Dutch or Portuguese player nowadays has left the country before they've even broken through for their club such is the financial disparity. And rather than fixing this, these 12 clubs, some of which can barely hold a candle to their commercially smaller counterparts without going into massive amounts of debt, decide for themselves to start a closed shop competition to make the gap even bigger? Fuck the lot of them. Expel them from the leagues and existing European competition altogether right now and let their places be taken by more deserving teams that are committed to fair competition, while they get their ass sued by the EU for competition law infringement.

3 points clear and 2 games to the good with 8 to go, although one is against them. Doubt even Bruce can fuck it up from here.

YES!

Get in Villa

Fuck’s sake

Nice

Only watched the second half, but decent performance and result from what I’ve seen.

Bale

Get in!

We will be in the relegation zone by the end of today, won’t we..?

In an alternative reality we would be under filthy rich ownership enjoying some world class players brought over the summer and January, playing under a top class manager

Sinking without a trace

Carbon copy of the 1-0 that shot

Bye

Good effort Fraser

Us at least 6 or 7 of the last 10 years?

Same with Bruce who didn't even go to see him when he was taken off the pitch.

Poor lad

Fucking disaster these last few minutes of the first half

Done and dusted, thank God

That's more like it

Messi misses!

Kurzawa should be off for second booking no?
