Reading this thread you'd think City got crushed, thought it was a pretty close game up until the red card...

Was rooting for City, ah well.

They were actually the "better" team, they didn't look like conceding and they had the better chances.

But there is no controversy for me, it was red card any day and if you watch the replay in real time, it was a penalty.

Hardly, he is just following the Mourinho guideline of blaming everyone else.

But if that's an idiot thing to do then I assume that also makes Mourinho an idiot.....

When had Mourinho blamed the referees this season?

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Apparently Giroud has been left on the bench?

[lucio 5,418]

In fact, after the red card, City had about as many chances as Barca did too. One horrible decision cost them badly. It' be better for us if City and Arsenal go through but they got brutal draws so it was always unlikely.

i dont really agree with it. i think the confidence and momentum they would get by going through, would far outweight having to play a few extra matches

[Fulham Broadway 17,018]

Nice to see Arsenal get completely fucked tonite

[Mohammed Seif 1,451]

Any expectations for Bayern vs Arsenal game?

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Wenger is mental, unless Giroud is injured.

^This.

Barca had nothing until the penalty , which was a poor call ( another one). Infact city had a couple of decent oppurtunities. Be it the one which clichy fucked up or the exquisite move which ended in valdes stopping a volley from silva. Kolarov was a massive fuck-up by pele except for that city were good. Showed som e real character

I don't think it's even close. It's not just a few matches. It's a couple of massive games and it means they have to rest players in the league. You can't get to the CL semi-finals and be resting your best players. Momentum and confidence are overrated in football and sports in general. (In fact, momentum really doesn't exist from game to game(. We had our biggest win of the year against City, killed Newcastle, and then couldn't beat WBA at home and looked limp against City..Shouldn't we have been riding our momentum and confidence?

haha saved

Really bad penalty from Özil...

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

Ozil in a big game...

[Sheva. 5,373]

Yeah Ozil is a massive choker, unbelievable miss in such a game.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Fuck u ozil!! Take out these wankers so we can have an easier run in the champs lge

[Jusek 2,031]

Wow Courtois with another amazing save!

[Las7 951]

I think Neuer psyched him by waving "hi" before he took the penalty - so indecisive from ROFLzil

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

Demichelis and Sczesny - Dumb and Dumber.

[Thendo 1,088]

Well, that's Arsenal out of the champions league

edit: nvm, .

Wonder how long they can survive this with 10 men.
