[Football] Man City v Tottenham CL......Porto v liverpool

[Bodian]

I must say, looking at the 'goal' on you tube, they're a bit unlucky there. It's not as though it was played through to Aguero by a city player, it just deflected off him. Cruel.

Oh well, never mind.

Pleased for Spurs, though I suspect City were the likeliest English team to win the competition.

Is Pep smug ? I’ve never got that impression really. I like both those managers. There seems a lot of hate and anger from fans in the game at the moment towards the top managers and players. They just served up a game to live long in the memory with hardly any conning going on.

Not remotely, but then neither is Eddie Howe, not that you'd know it from reading this forum.

Yep, handed it on a plate to Barca with that result. City could have done it, pretty sure Spurs won't.

I LOVE VAR.

Will they be using it next season in the championship?

hopefully Pochettino will use squad rotation next Tuesday to rest a few like Son , Moura,Alderweireld Vertonghen etc and we may be able to get a draw.

Good point. They still will want to finish top 4 though.

It is strange that a deflection doesnt put a player on side but rules them offside, seems double edged but not complaining if it makes Spurs take their foot off the gas.

Indeed they are!

But looking at the players, the crowd, the ref - not one person even imagined it was remotely offside, none of the defenders appealed or anything. Much as I would have liked VAR for a few of our not given decisions in the last few months, it's this sort of delay between ecstasy and having it taken away again - when there didn't look to be any doubt, that worries me for the future. Fair enough when it's obvious and everyone knows that there might be doubt, but then?

Hopefully Palace and Burnley will win at the weekend to put a dent in the chances of Arsenal and Chelsea but Spurs are away to Man City

1) Why was ref not shown this angle for the handball?

2) For me the winner wasn't offside.

I wanted a City win as Spurs won't win it - and I don't like the Jew love in for the semis......but quite nice to see Pep's smugness dented a little.

 

[BensGrandad]

At least Paul Barber should be happy

Let yourself down badly with that comment.

I don't like Tottenham either mate but I learnt the hard way about using certain words towards a religion.

Stupid comment.

Son will miss the SF first leg with his booking tonight. With Kane out, it's likely that he'll play against us.

Disagree with absolutely everything you've written there.

Handball by Laporte from that angle, so goal given / clear offside with VAR / they've got a chance / inflammatory remark / personally don't think he is.

The Europa League quarter-final second legs should be intriguing tomorrow, especially Napoli v Arsenal.
