Bayern kicked some ass today. Loved it but having watch on phone at work was challenging.

Had me sweating until the Mueller goal. Bayern's been on a run of poor form lately, and I did not have a good feeling at all going into It felt like the Louis van Gaal years. Lots of possession, lots of shots, not a lot of goals.

Hopefully, this starts a run of form for us like the Arsenal home game did last year. It's always good to beat United, even if it's not the same United we're used to.

Who do you want to play in the semi's? Athletic Madrid was able to stop Barca, so I'm not too keen on playing them because of our similar style. Chelsea might park the bus on us, giving me flashbacks to a couple of years ago, so that leaves Real Madrid, the other best team in Europe. I'm leaning Chelsea, hopefully advancing past them to face RM in the final, which would be a beautiful matchup.

Chelsea. The last CL final where the two met was an aberration. In fact, that whole tournament was.

Still not happy about that game.

Cost Spurs a CL spot

Good draw for Chelsea. Avoid Bayern and Real Madrid, and get to face a team that cant start their number 1 keeper

I am hearing otherwise.

Big change from what was being reported yesterday

UEFA said they don't give a ****. Courtois is playing. Good to see.

Some tasty semifinal matchups.

Well this season has been an absolute disaster.

The embarrassment of a season for Tottenham continues

 

[mcashawn0304]

Good comeback, if only Spurs could stop giving away first half goals

Top four is out of the question at this point, so it's whatever. Keep out of Europa and I'm happy

Probably the biggest game of the year coming up this morning.

I'm torn. I have no desire to see Spurs in EL again, but it would be funny to still finish ahead of ManU

Don't act like you don't look forward to those Thursday night games in Eastern Europe.

Liverpool needs another goal here at least. City is too potent on offense.

Terrible defense there. It's going to bite the Reds in the end...

They've just completely unraveled. City did a good job of weathering the emotion of the first half and staying within striking distance. Won't be shocked if Liverpool get run off the field in the final half hour.

No Sturridge is a death sentence for Liverpool.

They can't just sit back and hope for a draw either. A draw and a loss are equally worthless as both effectively kill their title chances.

Coutinho!!!!!!

 

[Through_The_T]

Yessssss!!!!!! Reds are best! Great game!

Happy to see city get Skrtel'd

kinda off topic here, but is there a way to request an addition to the "favorite teams" thing under your profile? I would love to get a Tottenham Hotspur one added

There's a thread for it in the "Need help" forum with instructions on how to make requests. I think Freak is the only one that can do it though.

Anyone catch the Hillsborough 30 for 30 on ESPN last night? Really eye-opening film.

Shame on the police for covering up statements from officers on the scene. This should have come to light a long time ago.
