Superb last 15 minutes, fair play to Swansea proper went for it. Deserve a bit better but clinical finishing wins games as we know all to well recently

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Heartbreak for Frankfurt, were 2 up before being pegged back 2:2, went another goal up but Porto grabbed a third and are though on away goals. What a game.

how gutting, napoli didn't deserve that at all, been second best by quite some mile in this tie,

hate benitez, think he's the luckiest manager in the world. dinosaur tactics and got totally out-managed by rookie garry monk and goes through because of a lucky ricochet. why did he take insigne off? was the best player on the pitch, got lucky with that.

bony was fantastic but missed a sitter that would have put the tie to bed. you just knew after that napoli would score with their one chance and they did.

Ah right. Think I remember now, thanks mate. Not looking a good move considering he has 19 goals this season.

it was an absymal move. if he chose another striker over him i'd understand, but the fact he chose nobody and went with what we got when we desperately needed a striker was utterly moronic. how he got a job as big as man united with such decisions is beyond baffling.

 

[toffeejack]

Why do commentators refuse to admit to a player diving? That was a clear dive by Tiendali but they're only saying 'their might have been a touch on his toe' and 'I agree with the refs decision not to give the penalty'. Surely ridiculing diving as much as possible would help get it out of the game.

as soon as he got the ball i knew he was going down, contact or not.

good decision by the officials, tinadalli's an idiot, he's a woeful player and a terrible cheat. no idea what laudrup saw in him in the first place, nevermind going back to sign him again.

 

[BluenosePaul]

Chelsea are such a sore on the eye, defensive side but so effective. Can't stand him, but classic Mourinho again.

more than likely Bill pulled the plug due to funds. You couldn't fault Moyes in the market, hardly ever made the wrong decision. Dury still out on Roberto.

it was all moyes' decision mate. if you knew the list of the players moyes also said no on - you wouldn't say can't fault him. can't fault how well he did with the players he did buy. jury is still out on martinez yes.

Pipe down jack lad

 

[toffeejack]

do we want spurs to win or lose? don't think they'll catch liverpool and if they're pre-occupied with this cup then our chance to pip them to 5th becomes easier you'd feel. then again, they tend not to play too strong of a team in europe. they are tonight though and probably will as the comp goes on.

 

[toffeejack]

Chris Thompson: Spurs need to win 3-0 tonight. 1-0 or 2-0 is just asking for trouble!

haha, one of the dumbest posts i've seen on BBC - mind boggling. spurs win this 2-0, they're asking for trouble :s

 

[roydo]

Just turned the Spurs game on.

The feckin dirge of a song.

And they dont have the euro cameras any more!

 

[toffeejack]

napoli and porto scrape through fortuitously, spurs could go out, while shakthar, ajax and lazio get knocked out in what you would expect to be easy wins.

i like europa, so much more shocks than the bore of the champions league. don't understand why people on here turn their noses up at it. if we were in this season's comp, we'd have a great chance of going far - but the shocks how difficult it is.

 

[toffeejack]

i liked the multi-ball system at napoli today btw, made a great fast tempod game, even if the atmosphere was terrible.

think FIFA should imply it as a must. if a fan pays to see 90 mins of football, they should be entitled to seeing the majority of that, not 20 mins of the ball being out of play.

 

[royalblue66]

This Spurs aren't very good, in fact they are awful, hope they win tho.
