First start, I believe.

Just read the comments on the Guardian match report. Some of the whingeing is hilarious.

whenever they don't win, it's down to a francoist plot against them

this coming from a club that gets more scandalous officiating in their favour than any other i can think of

VAR and the truth are part of the Franco conspiracy against them, and their legitimate right to get every decision in their favour

Barça and Madrid supporters should be the last to be complaining about decisions.


In other news, Dundee are killing it this season.

Dani Osvaldo on why he left football: "Cristiano Ronaldo likes to go home and do 150 press-ups, but I like preparing barbecues instead."

"Would I like to be like Messi? No. I’d like to play like him, but he has no life. It’s as if he lives in a golden prison."

Always thought he was a good striker, shame it all went downhill after the Saints move.

wise words tbh

to be that good at anything in life, you have to be totally obsessed with it, and do little else but practice

atleti seem to be getting their form back ..just before the derby

oh and isco is out for a month .....he has appendicitis

Emo-rinho

You can have a life and still have a good football career, not everyone is as dedicated as Messi and Ronaldo. He was just a terrible professional. But if he doesn’t enjoy it then fair play go and do something else.

what a goal by wilson in that match

he seems the one most likely to have a stellar career from the lads my kid bro played with at LFC academy

he was always v v good a freekicks btw...even at a v young age

It was a great goal. But I thought Romero could have done better. Didn’t even dive for it.

LEGA

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Atletico knock City out of the Ladies' CL. Drew in Madrid, bet them 0-2 tonight.

Only one defender on our bench tonight

Look a bit thin at the back squad wise.

Right back mainly, Nacho shouldn't have to be standing in there so often.

Other than that, we've got two good LBs (considering we primarily want them in attacking roles), and 3 good CBs with a promising youngster as our 4th.

Didn’t you just sign Odriozola? You don’t have another good lb after Marcelo. Cb depth looks an issue as well. Compared with Barca anyway.

I thought he was a LB. Embarrassing.

Can he play lb? Seems an odd decision to loan oif Hernandez if not.

what a disaster

Dunno. That was just a brainfart moment on my part.

Not sure why they decided not to get more cover at LB.

Stick Bale in there for a wind up.

bale shoulda scored that

Remember the Bale curse at Spurs when he played lb. They didn’t win a game in the first 24 he played.

another poor miss by bale
