Simmops PSG are an embarrassing team. Cant oxf*rd score at all


0 shots on target says it all really - embarrassment given their riches of talent

They’re a nasty, bitter little team, and it isn’t the first time Pochettino’s side has tried to kick lumps out the other team.

Still, at least they had more possession, “The Spurs Way”

What was Poch complaining about at the end with Veratti ?

looked like he was saying 'tell me why?'

I see this morning there are claims by Veratti & Herrera that the ref was swearing at them. So maybe something to do with that.

Well done referee. The PSG players were a disgrace in the 2nd half and if they can continually surround the referee and try to aggressively intimidate him, then I am all for the ref giving it back to them. We need more human referees in the game.

PSG players are really bad for taking defeat

They’re always a good bet for yellow/red cards as they lose their heads very easily

Pochetino is miles out of his depth. Sitting there last night without a clue. Players clearly are not listening to him. He will be gone taking into account CL failure is not tolerated.. I wonder if Levy is thinking that and waiting for the summer to see if that happens and then bring him back to appease the Spurs fans.

Chelsea will regret missing so many great chances to put this to bed.

Yes.

But if that^ happened and Arsenal also won the EL, therefore qualifying for the CL, then we still only get 5 and so 4th place in the PL doesnt qualify

Crazy how much success Man City had bought over the years only seems like yesterday they had Stuart Pearce moaning in a track suit with two strikers who were known for not scoring

I was just pleased we got another contender to the throne tbf. Was getting a bit Samey after a decade of Chelsea Man U Arsenal and Liverpool as the big 4.

My memories of Man City? going to main road walking through moss side as kid thinking this place is the pits. Standing in the ‘kappa’ stand watching Georgi Kinkladze missing a penalty in a 0-0 draw.

And a few years later Leroy lita’s smash and grab performance at the Etihad. One of my favourite ever away days.

Yeah they are going to love that. They already despise him as it is.

Seen it reported that Hazards initial transfer fee was €100M and then there were €42M in potential adds ons, with the league win last year securing €20M of those add ons.

Throw in his €450k a week wages and he might just be the worst transfer of all time (considering also they let Ronaldo go as they had this lined up)

3 league goals in his 2 seasons there

Not only that - it wasn't a desperate act, throwing on a 6ft 5ins unit to create havoc up front, but Pearce had planned it. David James had an outfield shirt ready, printed with his name on.

Madrid were awful last night - no penetration whatsoever, and cut open at ease - should have been 4/5 down by the time Chelsea got their second

Daresay reminded me of us under Stam in his second season - utter shambles

That's what happens with no Ronaldo to bail you out :wink:

Credit to Chelsea though - were fantastic, Kante and Jorginho were superb in midfield, Jorginho is massively underrated
