Yeah, but that would require signing someone, so....


No one to blame but themselves Levy

After the Liverpool result last night I suspect their will be no English club in the final.

Gutted. I expected this would be the passing of the torch. I expected Liverpool to have too much for Barca to handle. I expected Messi to work his magic and even score a couple of goals perhaps. But I didn't expect Liverpool would fail to score.


3-nil is a terrible result. Especially as I reckon they played well. Not good at all.

I never realised Steptoe supported the Mackems :hmmm:

Jimbuna, wondered if you might have a word with the lads. Survived, job's done, have a good summer sort of stuff?

TOON put up a good fight last night but we're never going to beat a team who's twelth man was the referee.

Typical of my team play well for the best part of the season, then blow it when it all matters.....

Well now you know how the SMB's must be feeling LALAS :haha:

The struggle is real :)





Come on you Foxes!

The reason so many people want to see City triumph this season.

And the winning goal against the TOON the other night....yet more cheating from the scousers.

Salty.


If Liverpool win the title it should be immediately rescinded due to being the cheatingest side in Europe :)


See video proof above. Good thing we can't find similar footage of other teams doing likewise, eh Jimbuna?

Many other sides also do it but not to such a great extent nor are they title contenders.

Bring on VAR next season and start punishing those who perform such actions.

I'm all for that, but singling out Liverpool seems misguided.


Simulation is the single biggest stain on world football in my view (along with FIFA and clubs paying player agent's fess, but I digress), and I'd like nothing more than to see it gone, and that requires consequences, as you mention.


Retroactive punishment must be introduced. The archaic stipulation that if the referee saw it it cannot be revisited must go.


My solution is to introduce a second referee in addition to video replay that can be used retroactively.


One ref is responsible for each half of the pitch. When the ball is in one half, that side's ref watches the ball, and the play around it, exactly as it works now. The second ref, standing at the half-way line watches for off the ball stuff, diving, and general mischief. It won't solve all, but it would go a long way towards covering that which the single ref cannot see. Additonally, the miscreant will have difficulty timing his shenanigans to go unseen.

I enjoyed watching City on tv last night overtaking the divers and what a goal from Kompany.

Fair enough, but what did you think of today's match?


Wow!!!!


Unbelievable. Come on you Reds!


I have a lot to say about what I just witnessed, but nah. I'll just enjoy it.

What a surprise

Who would have guessed Liverpool created a miracle.

I guess this will be known as The Miracle on Anfield

A surprise indeed

With exeption of man utd i like to see all British teams do well in europe. So very well done Liverpool on a epic return leg

Well said. Same here, but I lump in Arsenal.

Guess your a Spurs fan then :hmmm:

Unbelievable being almost an understatement.

A cracking result and helped on a little by a very poor Barcelona on the night.

I'd like to see Spurs overcome that one goal deficit tonight and look forward to a great final.
