Village Idiot

There's too much board interference and bullshit at Real for Klopp, I'd say.

Looks like around 40k sold so far plus whatever Spurs bring. If 15k season ticket holders stay away it'll be sub 30k. Our lowest ever PL crowd is just over 32k which was due to the reduced capacity when the Gallowgate was being rebuilt. In fact we are the only club in the history of the Premier League never to have had an attendance of under 30k. That's commendable, even us have occasionally gone below 30k at the Camp Nou in cup games against poor opposition.

Also, Xavi was immense in the second half. He ran passed circles around PSG's midfield and gave us back control of the game when PSG were pushing for the equalizer. He's still got it when surrounded by the likes of Mascherano or Rakitic that can do the leg work he no longer can. We're gonna miss him.

Fun fact, all managers in yesterday's CL games (Guardiola, Lopetegui, Blanc and Luís Enrique), played for Barça in the 1996-97 season.

How many ST holders are there? Around 40,000 I'd guess? Probably only a small % of tickets actually go on sale every game.

That escalated quickly

Suárez wow. What a player. Pity about that silly og but it's still a fantastic result.

Busquets Easily our best midfielder at the moment.

Cabaye just murdered Iniesta there.

In episode #3234234 of good footballers gone really fat, Javier de Pedro. http://colgadosporelfutbol.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/De-Pedro-1.jpg http://41.media.tumblr.com/e222ea08e2d3c1423aaac617785ff86e/tumblr_nmsynamXAv1s9y3qio1_500.jpg

Please, be a quitter. Courage and self-belief are such misplaced virtues in the incompetent.

Labbadia was linked to you at some point, wasn't he?

To be honest Spanish commentators shorten stadium names a lot ("El Bernabéu", "El Calderón", "El Villamarín"), even in print media, and I don't see much malice in it.

Not conceding away goals was crucial for Aleti; they couldn't go to the Bernabéu needing to attack - they aren't built for that. Madrid look in better shape but they have a chance.

Griezmann out, he's been rather inconspicuous today but he's their best goal threat at the moment.

Benzema clearly pushed the wrong button in the controller there.

I think he's better than Isco, whom he usually replaces.

Mandzukic is not gonna survive this match.

Oblak started his career at Atlético pretty shakily, but by god has he found his feet in the last 1-2 months.

Mandzukic doesn't look fit to me, looks like Simeone is pulling a Costa again, he should've learnt last season...

If wikipedia doesn't lie (sometimes it does), Carver possesses the worst win % of all NUFC managers to be in charge for more than 10 games, since you started appointing one. There's just no rationale to appoint him, even JFK was better.

It's fucking annoying when my GF does that. Noodles is on the money.

This will be on the Spanish telly, can I watch?

What a load of s*** I fear the day when whatever brainwashing device we big clubs use to turn other clubs' fans into the footballing equivalent of the Stepford wives breaks down and you show up at our place with the pitchforks.

The prosecutor has asked for 2 years of jail for our current president Josep Maria Bertomeu, and 7 for our former president Sandro Rosell, for their involvement in alleged fraud to the taxman in Neymar's signing. And that's why I want them gone. Add to that the transfer ban, etc... way to drag the club's name through the mud, the f***ing crooks.
