SectionDJambo Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Watched the City v Spurs match in the local pub. Everyone glued to the big game apart from one Rangers fan watching, and slamming the bar, cheering on Liverpool. And here was me thinking that Liverpool and Celtic were best buddies. Makes no difference to me who wins this competition, and it makes me wonder why anyone in Scotland would. The City Spurs game delivered an exciting match, whatever the, justifiable, views from many on the sporting integrity of the “Champions” League.

Not many managers would have the humility to do that, Klopp and Poch would though and are two excellent managers who are doing a great job with far less money. For what it’s worth I reckon Peps teams let in too many goals against the very best teams, even his Barca team did that. Not exactly rocket science I know.

Carl Fredrickson Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I dont watch the group stages of CL. Watched a few of the knock out games but generally not too fussed. This season the two teams I have enjoyed watching the most are Man City and Spurs. The first leg didnt live up to my expectations but watched the second leg last night. Best thing I can say for the game is that my 8 year old son who has no interest in football, couldnt take his eyes off it. So much excitement, great football and goals. I wasnt fussed who won and loved the drama at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Two cracking games of football last night for very different reasons, Liverpool started very shaky and Porto missed a few good chances to score, before VAR stepped in and correctly awarded Liverpool a goal that was originally chalked off, and from there on it was like a training game for Liverpool as they showed some real class in brushing Porto aside, Henderson is like a new signing in his box to box role, superb! The City/Spurs game had it all, probably one of the most dramatic games ever! Yet again VAR proving it's weight in gold otherwise the wrong team would be through to the semi final, an utterly breathtaking game of football! As for the league, Spurs are desperate for the points otherwise they might need to win the CL to play in it again next season, annd Man Utd are just desperate for the points, because 6th place is no good to them, the next 2 games for City will make or break them, if they win them both then they win the league I reckon, if they don't then it's Liverpool's, who have a tricky little fixture against a Cardiff side who are fighting for their EPL lives, I'm pretty sure there's another twist in this title run in yet!

My point was that a lot has been spent on players, full stop. Certain Liverpool fans on here like to make out that other clubs spend a fortune and the godlike Klopp has scraped by on pennies which is patently bullshit.
