Not the best of games so far, is it?

Nope, not a patch on the first leg, though both teams just hit the post within a couple of minutes of each other so they are both trying to win, couldn't believe how attacking Valencia's line-up was but it hasn't clicked yet.

Just waiting for the inevitable Valencia winner, no way Atleti will keep a clean sheet in an important game.

great result for the mighty reds tonight.

Idiocy all round, Aguero gets booked for going off too slowly while being unnecessarily subbed in the 95th minute so misses the first leg of the Liverpool game.

Re: More football chat : Thu Apr 08, 2010 9:00 pm  

Were Liverpool fans really singing 'Are you watching Manchester' tonight?

As for Utd vs Bayern, if Rafa had made a substitution similar to the one made by Ferguson (O Shea for Rooney) we wouldn't hear the last of it. However cos it's 'Sir Alex' it won't get a mention. Add to that putting two forwards on when 1-0 up in the first leg and I think my point is becoming clear.

Well done to Fulham and by all accounts Robert Zamaora was outstanding.

Yes, a quiet corner was singing it. I hope the boos that followed was for them.

Good result tonight. Loved the third goal, thought their defending was woeful at times but we done well to punish them.

Atletico next. I'll be honest, I think they're a pretty average side overall who we should beat with ease, but we've not been much better than average ourselves so it should be a great tie. Hopefully the games will be better than those in the groups last year.

Zamora for England. He's been magnificent this season. Fulham are doing brilliantly as well. Hamburg will be a huge test though.

I don't think Atletico will pose as much of a threat as Benfica to the Reds, but we'll see. As has been said, some of the defending tonight was pitiful and we won't get away with it in the semis.

Big ups for Dirk Kuyt and Lucas Leiva tonight, both were superb.
