I was really hoping Klopp would get his fairytale ending.

In hindsight he should've prioritized the league. Unless a miracle happens in Bergamo.

I don't think they can recover in the league and win it tbh.

Embarrassing performance, deserved loss.

I once vandalized around 70 cars in a single night. I think you're morally okay by comparison. 

Wtf. I immediately picture you as Henry Hill in Goodfellas destroying all those cabs on the parking lot. 

Pogba banned 4 years. 

CL paths are predetermined when the quarter finals are drawn.

Inter are looking good. They are playing some really good football but their finishing (in the CL anyway) has been diabolical. They fluff so many chances. They basically played Atleti off the park and should've won that game 3-0. If they can sort themselves out in the final third then I think there's a good chance we get a repeat of last year's final.

eta. unless they are on the same side of the draw as City. Haven't checked.

We miss chances cause we lack a clinical finisher. Lautaro is having his best season ever but in the Champions League he's still the World cup Lautaro. We had to rely on Arnautovic to score one goal vs Atletico, and he himself missed a sitter before that. 

The problem is that now Thuram is injured for the next few weeks and Inter are relying on ancient Arnautovic and Sanchez as back ups in the attack. Luckily we are +9 and + 11 with a game in hand in front of Juventus & Milan so I don't think we can bottle the league at least, anything more in the CL will be a bonus. 

Sad news, Andreas Brehme has died.

That's why one of you guys beat that horse!

Frimpong sounds like either a great college drinking game or a terrible STD. I refuse to believe there is a team called it. 

It's a person, a player. Jeremie Frimpong.

Wow Frimpong sinks Bayern

Thuram is one sexy player

Good win

Casadei, Inter sold this kid to Chelsea for about 20m €.

Also, are Chelsea entering a mid-table era for the foreseeable future? Ever since Boehly bought the club they're on the way to irrelevance.

Lautaro is having a season of his career so far, there will be plenty of tempting offers for him in the summer if he continues like this.

Vizekusen actually, which would be more accurately translated as second kusen. But that was a glorious year. They had an excellent team. Lucio in defense. Ballack pulling the strings in midfield (plus Schneider for the creative spark). Upfront they had prolific goalscorer in Kirsten and also Berbatov (or was it Voronin?). They fumbled a five point lead with three games to go in the league (plus massive edge in GD). Then they lost the Cup final and the CL final.

The years before were even worse. In 2000 they fumbled the league on the last day, with Emerson breaking down exclaiming they'd never, never win a title. He himself had seen enough and buggered off to Roma to win the league with them.

It was Berbatov.

That would be funny.

But, I still expect Leverkusen to fade during the second half of the season. Plus, the history of Leverkusen is more Spursy than Spurs. There's a reason they're known as Neverkusen.

So it would be poetic justice if he loses his craved silverware to the German counterpart of Tottenham!

Is this the year where Kane goes to Bayern to win trophies and they skip to win any after 11 years?

Imo, Bayern & City got the easiest draw.

Is that a popular opinion that Season 4 was boring? I thought it was great. I’ve loved all of them, probably Season 3 the weakest for me.

It is crazy that a show can be a largely plausible, present day non-fantasy story and yet still have the audience asking “is that guy 500 years old?”

Personally, I couldn't even finish third and fourth seasons. I'll try the fifth though.

Tottenham gets revenge for that 6-1 defeat by Newcastle in April.

Who is the worst manager compared to how good a player they were?

Maradona, Henry, Klinsmann, Seedorf, Lampard, Frank de Boer, Gary Neville, Tony Adams and many more I guess

Fowl play, lol.

I'm seeing Onana's blunders from today earlier. Looks like we scammed United as well now.

It would be funny if Barcelona drops to EL and if City ends up second behind Leipzig in their group.
