As one of the loudest moaners about clubs not giving young English managers a chance, he's doing a great job of being a massive strawberry floating hypocrite.

The irony being that they sacked a young English manager in Rowett to get Zola in the first place...

Dawning on me now that Brighton's promotion means we have to spend the season explaining the Palace rivalry to everyone, that's a lot of effort... Let's hope for a nice May fixture (away maybe? I'm not that fussed) to send them down...

Wasn't it something to do with Terry Venables and Alan Mullery? how it started anyway.

Whilst Leicester going through would be an incredible story, I just don't find them to be likeable, mainly because of Vardy. He can be sent off and Atleti to win 5-0 would do nicely.

Leicester

They started so well, too. Really needed to take one of those chances.

Yes Atleti!

Mahrez is having an absolute shocker. If he were playing well, Leicester would be in the lead, here.

That Bayern goal :lol:

Ramos wtf?! :lol:

Real V Bayern heading for extra time.

Been watching Real V Bayern since the Atleti goal. It's been highly entertaining! What an absurd own goal it was!

What's this? A referee ruining a spectacle by sending someone off incorrectly? Well, I never.

To be fair, Vidal should have been sent off about 3 times over the two ties. :lol:

That was an awful decision, though.

A disgrace of a decision.

Really? I didn't see the first leg but this was just a very poor decision.

Makes it even worse that he let Casemiro off a second yellow for an even worse tackle a few minutes before. Shame it's ruined what had been an incredibly enjoyable game.

Was hoping Leicester would get absolutely strawberry floating smashed but that'll do I suppose.

A spirited Leicester performance in the end but just not good enough in the final third. Atletico weren't in the game at all in the second half. Leicester could have easily won that game if they had taken their chances. Of course, losing to a bullshit goal in the first leg didn't help.

Great opportunity to send Casimero off there for that dive yet the referee inexplicably does nothing.

Never mind Leicester, there's always next seas... err never mind.
