My 2 cents:

There is a reason for the "last man” rule: it’s so we don’t end up watching goals from Pks all the time, as defenders and Gks would always go for the foul to exchange a sure goal for a penalty kick.

The red cards were not accidents! They were caused by attacking movement. They were forced errors, not mere “mistakes.”
Odds are Arsenal and City wouldn’t have had players sent off were they playing Hull at home….

at Manure ..they wouldnt even have been penalties ,,,both attackers booked for diving

[Special Juan 27,104]

Been a fucking cracking week for the English teams this week in Europe

[zolayes 14,489]

if you didnt watch Spurs tonight ,,you missed a treat ,, They lost 1 0 but it was football a neutral LOVES ,,both teams on all out attack ,,

could have been 5 5 ,, friedel was world class ,, and even the officials were top class ,, ok defending was poor and finishing was worse ,,but

there was two teams wanting to score and creating chances ,,, Football as it used to be ,, Im converted to the Europa league

WC game tends to be even cagier than any ucl/epl game

[zolayes 14,489]

[zolayes 14,489]

I did not.

Elder people are just a gift for younger people, the bold part was nothing short of a beautiful description of what you were trying to say.

On topic: WTF is happening to English team? I am rooting for them all and they all let me down

Well, i could cope with a Ginger Twat loss to be fair. Let's hope Arsenal and City have their game of their lives.

Really impressed with Swansea's performance tonight against Napoli. Took the game to them, especially in the first half, and created a number of really good chances in which they should have scored from. They really should have but 0-0 still isn't exactly a bad result. A score draw will do for them in Italy next week. As for Napoli, they played like a typical Benitez team tonight. Rather uninspiring despite the quality in their starting XI.

None of the Premier League teams won in Europe this week. Four played, 1 draw and 3 losses with none of them scoring. Somewhat shocking. And 20 European matches (Champions League and Europa League) played this week and there have been 10 away wins, 8 draws and only 2 home wins.

Also, there were two cracking goals tonight.

Soriano for RB Salzburg against Ajax (can't believe they won 3-0!)...

And Quaresma (remember him?) for Porto against Eintracht Frankfurt...

Trust me - if you know how much Red Bull Salzburg have been spending you won't be shocked I lived there fr 2 years and saw some of the players coming in on massive salaries!!! I was speaking to the old German legend Lothar Matthias about it in a bar

Still though, one would have expected better from Ajax. To lose 3-0 at home like is just embarrassing.

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

HAHAHA Porto you bunch of cheating twats suck on that.
