Looked a very harsh decision. Also, that Pogba run up is so annoying :lol:

Missed the first hour but they've been battering at Lyon since I turned it on. They're not infallible in the Champions League though and never really have been - even Celtic managed a 3-3 draw with them the season before last. :slol:

Juve vs Valencia highlights were hilarious - Valencia could've lost by about six. Not sure about Ronaldo's red but I don't know why he decided to rake the guy's head. Really odd.

Valencia haven't won a single game this season yet, crazy.

Only half watching as doing housework but Rangers are very fortunate to be back level.

We started to click towards the end of the half after huffing and puffing, lovely breakaway goal though.

I'm clearly the only one watching so I'll just have a quick moan about no clean sheet again then get back to my evening.

I was very disappointed with their spawny equaliser.

Just back from the Celtic game. Not the best performance but a win is a win. :wub:

Aguero's signed a new contract until 2021, the greedy git just wants 10 years to get that testimonial money

City tend to perform worse when they either play Gundogan in midfield or play inverted wingers up front, on Wednesday they played both of those. Guardiola was supposedly trying some new stuff to try and address City's knockout form but it clearly backfired if it was tried.
Having Delph at LB and then no wide left winger doesn't really work

Surely the testimonial money for players of Aguero's stature all goes to charity. It's not like he needs to fund a joinery course when he retires...

Zaha on his troubled time at United:

F365 wrote:“I went through so much with United, with England,” Zaha told Shortlist. “There were rumours that the reason I wasn’t playing [many games] for United was because I slept with David Moyes’s daughter, and no one [at the club] attempted to clear that up. So I was fighting my demons by myself, these rumours that I knew weren’t true.

I was dealing with this at 19; living in Manchester by myself, nowhere near anyone else, because the club had a hold over where I lived.

“They hadn’t given me a car, like every other player [had]. Nothing. I’m living in this hell by myself, away from my family, and I thought, ‘If this doesn’t make me stronger, what will?'”

Ummm, buy a car then? I'm pretty sure United would have allowed you to spend your wages.

What an odd thing for a player on tens of thousands of pounds a week to complain about :?

I feel like the point he’s making is that other members of the first team squad were given things like cars(presumably from the sponsor?) and he wasn’t, so it made him feel more isolated.

Fergie's back. Bloody love the man I reckon he could still win a league title if he fancied it.

Fred :D

Great little pass from Pogba too.
