Haha Bravo
City are brutal.
Guardiola... all fart and no sh!t?
EDIT:
What a goal from Neymar.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Saw some of the game and City seemed to do ok in patches but were masters of their own downfall and missed a few good chances when it was 1-0. I wonder how long before Guardiola's stock begins to fall and he ends up managing at Rotherham United.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Who says the Germans don't have a sense of humour?
A German Team
Entertaining night in the CL. Good effort from Celtic, pity McGregor didn't score the winner at the end, would have been a lovely goal. Have their supporters only added 'Grace' to their songbook this year by the way? Never noticed it before but it sounds class in full flow, especially considering it's such a depressing song under normal circumstances. Depressing in a heartbreaking sense that is.
Manchester City looked good value for their win from what I saw. Barcelona look a bit of a shambles at the back without Pique.
Yes, Celtic game was good viewing. I think the Germans went in with the attitude that they would roll over them and hence the muted celebration for their opening goal but Celtic played some nice stuff and even had more of the possession. Armstrong looks useful, if prone to the odd lapse. Certainly at the moment appear to be a much better side under Rogers than last season's outfit.
Only saw the highlights of the City/Barca game but Messi needs to lose that beard. Is he in disguise hiding from the taxman?

Have to mention Ozil's goal against Ludogorets. One of the better ones:

Fairly entertaining night in the CL. Dundalk's conquerors knocking seven goals past the mighty Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund in two matches, okay so they conceded a few as well!
Real Madrid rode their luck but have set up an interesting final night at home to Dortmund now, when they'll have to win to top the group. Bale went off injured yet again, he'll surely miss a Wales game one of these days. Not wishing that on him or anything.
Sevilla Juventus looked like a proper match. Mark Clattenburg made some big calls against the home side and looked to get them correct to be fair to him. Lyon v Sevilla should be interesting now on the final match day, basically Sevilla are up 1-0 from the first leg. They'll hardly manage to end up continuing their love affair with the Europa League again? Some 16 year old came on for Juventus, think he's the youngest ever to play in the CL.
Leicester have impressively topped their group and Tottenham are out of contention, both with a match to spare.
He's not the youngest - that's Babayaro apparently - but he is the first player born in the 2000s to feature.
Dundalk definitely dodged a bullet I think. Obviously would have been great playing Real, Dortmund, etc (assuming the draw was the same), but I don't think shipping ten goals would have got quite the same kudos as the current EL run.
Oh right, not sure what I heard last night so, maybe just the youngest to play for Juventus in it or something. Actually, does anybody know who the French fella was on the BT Sport CL goals programme? Former player I presume.
Yeah although maybe they would have been a bit more organised defensively than Legia, who seem a bit gung-ho. I'm sure they would have shipped some fairy heavy defeats but I don't think that would have been a big deal, they might have had a really famous night or two as well. It kind of depends on if they actually get through the Europa group or not I think. If they're eliminated then I think I'd have preferred to have seen them make the CL group stage.
Can anybody else hear Celtic fans singing a song to the tune of Amhran na Bhfiann? Maybe it is just that, or else some word put to the tune.
A traditional Celtic song. They know more of the National Anthem in English than I do.

Thanks. Obviously been around quite a long time too.
Good man, thanks. I like the way he doesn't even pretend to be neutral.
Knockout stages. Decent draw for Leicester.
Manchester City v Monaco
Real Madrid v Napoli
Benfica v Borussia Dortmund
Bayern Munich v Arsenal
FC Porto v Juventus
Bayer Leverkusen v Atletico Madrid
Paris St-Germain v Barcelona
Sevilla v Leicester
I'd be more inclined to think it's a great draw for Sevilla but it was going to be difficult for Leicester regardless. Arsenal draw the short straw as usual but maybe they're better equipped to take on Bayern than they have been previously, and Bayern certainly don't look like the force they were.
Sure, Sevilla will definitely be happy, but if Leicester had come up with a list of teams they wanted, Sevilla would have been near the top.
