He’s very big on modern and particularly European football. I seem to remember him saying he prefers the foreign teams to win in the European competitions.

That's fair enough. But that doesn't alter what Simeone and his players did.

Yes because I watch and know more about euro footy than you guys must be a bad thing lol

I always rooted for English clubs in Europe but now prem money led to dominance I would like to see it broken. Rooting for underdogs. Would love villareal to win CL rangers to win EL and anyone but Leicester in UCL

That doesn't mean I am anti English. Would be fine with Liverpool or man city winning UCL.

Last night bt sport's were bias to the English team. I am neutral. So you are trying to say I am bias. Lol

 

[clint van damme]

I don't believe there is a right or wrong way to play football. I felt they countered well and had quite a few chances to score . I didn't see it as particularly horrible at all.

The second half, particularly the latter stages would get football banned. Wasn't quite the1978 Argentinian world cup but it was bad.

Wish I'd watched Liverpool Benfica

It was nowhere near that bad lol. Very enjoyable goaless draw. Had spice and crowd were great.

Simeone is known to set his teams up to be proper shithouses .. he was the same as a player , absolute shithouse .

Not sure why ccfc is defending them

Anyway , man city or Liverpool to win the lot now, preferably the scousers as I think they are better to watch the city

Well I can't question his CV for sure .. doesn't alter the fact he's a bellend

Why? Because he's a warrior?

Warrior warrior that went down like he was shot when Beckham flicked his leg

Hahah I knew you were gonna say this! Beckham was in the wrong. He cost us that game. Don't get angry at simeone for being smart.

The depths people will go to just for patriotism

Yea he was in the wrong, was you even born ?

Simeone is many things but warrior isn't one of them , his team are negative and turgid .. effective ofcourse but they are out and that's the beauty of football .. more often than not football wins

I don't agree, I thought they were worse than I've seen them before. That is the first time I've seen them this season admittedly but I definitely think the antics were worse than what I've seen in the past.
Didn't even seem like it wasn't of a game plan hence the savic simeone spat.

The first leg was arguably the most negative display of football by a top team in Europe ever

I was 15. What sort of comeback is that even supposed to be?

Not a comeback always assumed you were younger ..

The rest of the post stands

You mean good tactical display to keep it close going into second leg where they very nearly did score in last 15 mins

Well now I'm assuming you are 12

It was a brilliant gameplan

Just like 2010 when inter parked bus Vs peps Barca at nou camp.

He's won 2 europas. Got to 2 cL finals. Won 2 leagues and super cup.

With a team that would be 3rd biggest in their league. He is a winner

Winner yes , you called him a warrior , he's a wanker

I like how his team's battle. Different ways to play the game. Can't all be tiki taka

 

[SBT]

Bit confused here, I was led to believe that all a team had to do was practice enough shithousery and dark arts and they would be unstoppable?

Yup posters on here ask for cov to do it more. Cos it's ok then lol. Anyone not British does it and it's a travesty

It wasnt a brilliant game plan because savic and simeone had an on field slanging match and they ended up getting knocked out.
Brilliant game plans result in the required outcome surely?

So do I, been a long time admirer, just as I was of George Graham's Arsenal who were in a similar mold, particularly in Europe, but that was something different last night and I wasn't impressed.

Is it perhaps because he no longer has a Torres or a prime Griezman?

.
They came close to taking man city to extra time.a man city who are arguably the best club in world currently.

It didn't work. But you can tell why he did it and importantly can see how it was supposed too and nearly did work

Fit Suarez would help. If correas chance fell to him in last seconds I expect it goes in. There was alot of shenigans on touchline Clint but that adds to excitement and it's not like man city players were all innocent victims. Don't get the outrage that's all.

good night of footy

I am

Bastard got me. Going by the username I thought you were 139.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Nasty foreigners. Boooo . Foden rolled around more than neymar and grealish called savic a c**t. But it's all nasty atletico

Bt sport's were terrible yesterday and looks like they have a target market and it's the OP and other posters on here!

Lol I thought it was hilarious man city players winding them up, atletico took the bait like the dullards they are.

Just like Beckham and simeone in 98.

Nationality doesn't matter.

Case closed.

 

[Travs]

It is rather amazing how the Italians/Spanish etc were regarded for decades as "dirty bastards" "cheats" etc, for diving, time-wasting, etc.

But now the English are equally proficient at it, its now referred to as "the modern game" / "good game management" and so forth. Can't be saying anything to harm the image of football in front of all those Sky Sports subscribers.

Whether its for or against Cov/England/whoever, its cheating plain and simple, and it really puts me off football in general if i'm honest.

New round in a gameshow.

Winner, Warrior or W*nker?
