Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[Billy Dean]

Not a single fan holding a baby even tried to punch a Lyon player
Weak

If a fan holding a baby would’ve managed to force his way in to a quarantined stadium and punched a player then hats off to him in all fairness

 

[Billy Dean]

Agreed

 

[TheBigIguana]

Agreed

I like the idea. It won't happen because more games = more TV money. Getting rid of two legged ties is a non-starter. In fact I'd suggest there is a better chance of something like a second group stage than one off knockouts.

Guardiola should genuinely be sacked for the abomination of a season they've had. Based on absolutely zero research I reckon he's won less than / not much more than Pellegrini, who was equally useless

 

[GP_Monty]

He is great at making the best out of players he already has. His signings at all his clubs have been questionable though. His hit rate isn’t great. He got left a squad at City that had a legendary spine of Kompany Fernandinho Toure Silva Aguero plus Sterling and De Bruyne in support. Apart from Laporte he’s not really bought anyone to replace any of those players effectively.

I would argue he's made all his defenders at least slightly worse. Especially the ones he signed.

 

[Mildredblues]

And should VAR have ruled out Lyons 2nd for either offside or a foul on Laporte I think it was?

Foul? Laporte literally changed direction slightly away from his goal diagonally and collided with Dembele. He then went down as he saw Dembele race past him to stop that attack.

 

[Mildredblues]

It is funny how so many people think the premier league is streets ahead of everywhere else, and then you have the third best team in a poor Spanish league beat the bestest team ever, and the 7th best team in a jarg league knocking out the next best thing.

So many overpaid wasters plying their trade in England right now.

The 7th best team in a jarg league knocked out Juventus and Ronaldo. Is he rubbish too?
In one off cup ties, anything can happen. How do you think Liverpool won that CL in 2004?

 

[GwladysBlue]

Agreed

Nah. It is fair to give all teams a hope tie during the knockouts. The better thing to do would be scrap the away goal rule.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Made up City went out. Could bear them winning that.

 

[Billy Dean]

Very good point this. Said something similar to my PSG supporting mate last night. Wouldn't be surprised to see an all French final, although Bayern will take some beating of course.

The Tunnel Club must be crying into their champagne this morning.
Gutted for them.

If it was upto UEFA it would be Barca, Real, Bayern and Liverpool/Man Utd in the semi's every year.

Oil well FC and Pep fight uefa and basically buy cas to get the European ban overturned, only for Pep to pick that team and tactics, in a one off game, in a mad * crappy tournament?!?

Sackable offence in my book, never mind lumping 40 mil on Ake - unbelievable Jeff!
