some of the videos i’m seeing of the ground, the build up, fans in the bar singing - genuinely, i’m welling up. it looks fucking fantastic, well done to each and every spurs fan that went and created that atmosphere. spine tingling stuff.

Surely Fernandinho has to be banned for the second leg for that elbow on Kane?

It’s at least a one match ban.

The temptation to send that to a City supporter I work with is almost too much to resist...

Then again, if we lose the two away games I'll be in for worse than just a GIF. :(

Their fans were the worst away fans since Wigan brought a minibus about ten years ago. The Wigan fans made more noise too.

Another one I'm not sure the rules on, but if the ref saw it doesn't that mean that no retrospective punishment can be given? I hope not because that <unmentionable> needs to be feel the full force of the law.

I was proper pleased with team selection and formation tonight. Was also pleased with Peps as I think he proper fucked it. Sane and DeBruyne on the bench?Thanks Pep. Sane would have given Trippier a nightmare evening. Instead he had an easy ride. Thanks again Pep lol.

Since when does a player or the ball have to heading towards goal for a penalty?

It comes under the same law when a player makes a tackle in the area and the ball goes away from the goal for a corner but a foul is made after making contact with the ball. The 'pool keeper knocked it out for a corner but it hit the defenders arm. In the letter of the law City's penalty should have been retaken but no one on here would agree.

VAR is gonna be so fun, Rose's is a handball but this one isn't :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:



I say this as someone who was livid with the Rose call but this is slightly different. Trents handball doesn't affect the location of the ball at all, it was going out for a corner regardless.

That match itself was intense and fascinating to watch, it was edge of the seat stuff.

Magnificent from our guys... just brilliant.

Scenes tonight. Lost my voice. Was in the Park lane corner next to the shelf and my ears were ringing. Not heard a sound like that at a match before if I’m honest

Couldn’t hear the city fans at all - probably the worst I have seen in the CL apart from Madrid

Have to do it again now but they will be nervous of conceding a goal if they go all out

I just hope Eric is fit for the second leg. If he is then, if they have any sense, they will ease off on the fouling. If they don't Eric will balance the books! :sneaky::sneaky::sneaky:

City looked so poor without the ball. Delph looked like he was drowning, we will win this if we can keep possession they were all over the place without the ball. From my statistical analysis they will do fuck all if we keep the ball for 90 mins. I also took the train 40 mins the wrong direction tonight

I love this post!

Top man!

The atmosphere was INSANE, ears are ringing and voice is pretty much gone...and I sit in a block where there are a lot of people that don't sing.

Just an absolutely fantastic night.
