April 6, 20214 yr Glad I don’t have BT! 🤔 You should PM me, I can let you watch every game you can think of for free! I know everyone will throw us to the slaughter but this was a game too far for our makeshift defence. If the midfield lose the press we're done. I like Nat Phillips a lot and he's done well but when you're starting against Real Madrid away it's just a little too much for his capabilities.
April 7, 20214 yr Would usually still put Pool in with a better chance of progressing than City based on their track record but it would take an almighty performance to turn this round, especially given your home record this year. Could even see no English teams in the Semis again. City were extremely lucky last night, how on earth was that Bellingham goal was disallowed? Think Porto could do a number on Chelsea tonight especially if the same one that turned up against West Brom shows up.

Think Porto could do a number on Chelsea tonight especially if the same one that turned up against West Brom shows up. Almighty task, but still a chance. This Real Madrid team can be got at, but with no crowd it's going to be extremely difficult. Quite simply Klopp got his tactics wrong last night and the players couldn't react in game. We planned for one type of game and couldn't react. It's these games where we massively miss Henderson and Van Dijk. But there is another game still, so still a shot, albeit we need an almost flawless game. As much as Houdini hates City, personally I really feel this is their year. They get all the luck in the world and the irony of them winning the Champions League in the year they should have been banned. You know it's happening.
April 7, 20214 yr Author I hate City too because they are where they are because of oil billionaire not earning a position where they are but there’s every chance they could and will do it eventually. Pep might overthink things like he tends to do in the European cup. Thanks for the offer of the BT games Roo but I’m happy enough dominating the tv at weekends when I watch the league so the wife would flip if I didn’t watch something with her on a Tuesday/Wednesday evening lol. It is ridiculous it’s got to the point now where there’s no highlights package on terrestrial tv, it’s like the 80s again!
April 8, 20214 yr was expecting bayern to struggle to score but not ship 3 away goals. can they replicate it at home tho?
April 13, 20214 yr So the holders are out and Chelsea and PSG are into the semi finals! I feel if Bayern didn't have their injuries they'd have beaten PSG! Shaping up to be an awful list of teams in the semi-finals. Gonna make me a little sick when I have to start supporting Real Madrid as the lesser of the four semi-finalists!
April 13, 20214 yr Maybe this is going to be PSG's year? I think they have more of a chance now than when they got to the final last season.
April 14, 20214 yr I'm not surprised Bayern were knocked out as the holders never retain the CL the next season (unless your name is Real Madrid). City vs PSG then is the match I actually wanted to see happen (even if it means one of them will unfortunately be guaranteed a place in the final). The Oil derby!
April 14, 20214 yr Author Hope neither City or PSG win it as they are artificial. Although the reaction of United fans would be hilarious!
April 14, 20214 yr I wouldn't mind PSG winning it as they've a couple of ex-United players and I can wind up the Spurs fans at my work about Poch :D City winning it OTOH doesn't even bear entertaining the thought. Can't rule out Dortmund pulling a shock either!
April 14, 20214 yr This PSG team is nowhere near as good as their one from 2019 for example- would be truly madness if they won it considering they may not even win their own league! But 100% I’d prefer then to win over City or Chelsea.
April 14, 20214 yr Yeah I was shocked to see they're not even top of Ligue 1, let alone running away with it. Mind you I think the board won't care a jot about the league if they can land this one. If they don't win either however I don't see how Poch stays :lol:
April 14, 20214 yr City might not even make it to the semi finals. If Leeds can beat them then Dortmund can as well.
April 14, 20214 yr f***ing Bayern only had one job. Right Dortmund. You’ve poached our coach so it’s time to make amends
April 14, 20214 yr Jesus im gonna have to root for Paris now as the lesser of two evil petrochemical states
April 14, 20214 yr Hopefully Mbappé & Co can get the job done in the semi final. If PSG and Chelsea both win their semi finals then it will mean that Thomas Tuchel will be facing the side that he got sacked from in the final and he was sacked because he didn't win the Champions League, it would be a very interesting situation if that happens. Also Poch couldn't win anything with Tottenham let alone the Champions League but he could potentially do it straight away at PSG.
April 14, 20214 yr I don't think I could have put together a more detestable set of clubs in the semi-final if I tried. Says a lot when Madrid are the lesser of all the evils closely followed by PSG. Thought Liverpool played well tonight, but ultimately I think Chelsea would have beaten us over the two legs. We just don't have the squad right now to cope with CL and get the 4th placed trophy :D
