These assaults ( sorry tackles ) are getting ridiculous these days .. the refs either play on or occasionally blow for a free kick

Eventually teams will take things into their own hands and we’ll start seeing “ tit for tat” retributions

Look at all the crazy fouls now !!

The ref will have to get a grip soon



Pellistri is a fabulous talent and playing really well but he’s getting kicked from pillar to post because Martinez and a few others set the tone by kicking the Betis players

:skull: not AS Roma again, rematch of last conference league final



Anderlecht, hmm not bad draw for AZ i think




West Ham against Gent (i can say about Gent, they are veterans in playing european football by now, very solidly and stable in appearing in europa leagues, conference leagues)



another german team for my fave belgians Union St Gillis, now vs Bayer Leverkusen


tough one for Man United, cup fighters Sevilla

[Nicky91]

would soooo love a european cup trophy for Union, the one team in all these who also had been slaying pre world war 2 and basically now returning near that top form

[bots]

we are getting to the sharp end of the CL now

[bots]

this could be the game of the tournament tonight

City have been fabulous

[Parmy]

Could be city's year.

it's incredibly difficult to win the CL, but, to me, that was the best performance from city since Pep arrived

[Nicky91]

Bayern lol, that is what you get for sacking a worldclass manager

:facepalm:

[Nicky91]

shame about Benfica losing 0-2 at home to Inter

but still quarter finals, stunning achievement for them no matter what, King Roger Schmidt :hug:

[bots]

Can Man U win a game without Rashford?

Danny Ings makes it 1-0 against Gent

and yes, very great, for both their teams to be back in semi finals stage of CL, after many years of absence of the highest stage of european cup footballGiuseppe Meazza is one of Italy's greatest ever players. He won two World cups in the 1930s and was rated one of the best players of that time. He was an Inter Milan player so that is likely why the AC Milan club don't call their ground the Giuseppe Meazza stadium and Internazionale do.

[Nicky91]

it is Sevilla to be fair, they are cup fighters, and i can deffo see them being the number one frontrunners again

[Christmas Dynasnow]

THMN-Remcjg

[Nicky91]

even if Man United played horrible, which i doubt as Sevilla and especially in europa league (and back before too when it was still called uefa cup) they are a force to be reckoned with and especially at home


their current La Liga season is a bit mediocre okay, but where they started as 18th, 17th they are now working their way back up mid table so, with a nice breathing space of 8 point gap to the relegation zone, but also just 3 points away from borderline top half of leaderboard positions and this weekend they got a home game vs Villarreal

[Nicky91]

sad about Union St Gillis but quarter finals is still impressive for them


a decent semi final line up now there too

Juventus - Sevilla (top match)

AS Roma - Bayer Leverkusen


----------
conference league

West Ham United - AZ

Fiorentina - FC Basel

[Nicky91]

Serie A currently best league i think


5 italian teams in all europa cups semi finals :D

Well yeah, it's up to him, but still. For his own sake i don't understand why he wouldn't have more protection for his shins.

I wore a solid pair of pads when i played too, with an ankle support attached. Always Adidas Copa Mundial's too. Best boots ever made imo.

[bots]

With Grealish i think it is more a style choice than anything else. A bit like his hair

[Father Chris Mouse]

Agreed. I don't dislike him or anything, and i know Zizu will disagree, but he kinda asks for it tbh. I would never wish an injury on him, but going against an old school defender, he's gonna get smashed up purely for looking like a tart every game.

I played CB from my early teens up until i was about 30 (highest i ever got was actually my mid teens when i had a few games for Tonbridge Angels). Played Saturday and Sunday's for 2 local teams at my peak, only pub stuff though. Anyway, if i ever see a striker or winger all tarted up for a game like it was a fashion statement, he'd soon realise he was in a game of football and not on the catwalk.

Sorry Zizu

[bots]

I think Grealish is a great player, and he is a character that the game needs, but I don't agree with his style choices :laugh:

[Father Chris Mouse]

Yeah i do like him tbh. And i can forgive his on pitch style nonsense because he is very passionate. And he works hard for the team. He's by no means a selfish player either. He's grown on me for sure.

[bots]

the reason he was getting mowed down last night was because he was constantly tracking back to snuff out problems

[Father Chris Mouse]

Yeah he played well. I've never minded, but never been arsed either about City. But i was out of my seat when KDB hit that screamer last night. Really hope they go through. Would love to see a City/Inter final.

That's City winning the Champions League then. The noisy neighbours are going to be insufferable now :laugh:

Inter Milan could surprise everyone tbf.

It's not likely to happen, but Football does throw out odd results sometimes.

[bots]

anyone that gets to the final of the champions league deserves to be there.

City were huge favourites to beat Chelsea in the final and look what happened

I agree with you.

The Media in this country will be offensive towards Inter if they beat Man City though, I can just sense it.:laugh:

Congrats to the Hammers :love:

100 per cent, you wont hear a word about this from the England fan haters though

[Nicky91]

lol @ Basel

you win in Florence, and you lose at home :joker:

apparently it could've been a lot more for them either, but good goalkeeping work from Hitz only kept it 1-3, where it could've been 1-7 or 1-8 or something like that, loads of chances in a row

it is called Netherlands, not holland


and tbf AZ are a decent club with normally decent fans (but emotions got the best of them last night i think, was a chance to get to a european cup final for the first time in 42 years)


West Ham gonna have it tougher against Fiorentina now i think, their offence was on fire with literally 20 or 25 chances and good chances too

[Nicky91]

those people aren't football fans, just rioters looking for attention

[Christmas Dynasnow]

a couple of West Ham dads and players batter the AZ Ultras :laugh:

sodYO1iVtGA

[Nicky91]

this is no laughing matter LT

[In the Drunk Tank]

How is it being reported in the Netherlands Nicky

[In the Drunk Tank]

Alkmaar should be banned from Europe next season

[Nicky91]

How is it being reported in the Netherlands Nicky

on the official NOS website more details on the post-match riots

some west ham fans got attacked by hooligans yes, and the AZ players as well as coach Pascal Jansen and general director Robert Eenhoorn had to intervene and break up these fights


and there were also some chants against AZ from these hooligans like ''shame shame shame''


shame from what, losing to a premier league team (which is a 1000% higher level than our eredivisie) :joker:


they probably did the best they could've but just wasn't enough against a stronger team


i really don't know why Declan Rice is still at West Ham, and how they could've signed a phenomenal winger like Paqueta

[Nicky91]

better luck next year then

AZ still in the running for a possible 3rd place here


if PSV secures 2nd place this weekend we can help AZ take that 3rd spot from our rivals Ajax :devil:



my Fortuna is as good as safe for another season up top level, so i guess that for now is highest goal to achieve sadly

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Alkmaar should be banned from Europe next season

yes - and no less

Yeah AZ played pretty well across the two legs really and made it very tough

Rice will go in the summer but is desperate to win this cup as a send off for the fans, will cement his place as a club legend even when he goes

[In the Drunk Tank]

Lot of the AZ fans with metal bars and stuff as well. That's another thing with European fans - obsessed with weapons and knives. Least the English just use their fists and the occasional bar chair

[Father Chris Mouse]

Lets be fair though, the English fans reputation will never leave them. These opposing fans give us what they think we have coming. Im not condoning it, but this type of thing isn't going to stop.

The Hammers fans have a piss poor reputation too (as do Chelsea, so im not picking on West Ham fans, Chelsea fans have been just as twatish over the years)

[Cherry Christmas]

Will these 'fans' be banned for life, they should be

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Not one of them was arrested last night

for the last time, these aren't fans of this sport

just those hungry for attention and likes on social media's and most of them also sick in the head


pretty sure there'll be stadium bans for these people (same what was done to that sicko during the psv sevilla game whom hit the sevilla goalie in the head, that one has a stadium ban for over 40 years)

[Nicky91]

Not one of them was arrested last night

not necessary to arrest one, this is up to the home team to sort out the punishments

40 years or longer stadium bans is perfectly fine


+ in our eredivisie competition, if someone from crowd throws beer towards any player on the pitch, or insulting the ref in vile chants, the ref can suspend the game and the game ends up resumed behind closed doors another day

KNVB has gotten way stricter than before recently, to take on these sort of vile things which have nothing to do with the football

Does anyone on here actually rate McManaman as a commentator? I certainly don't

1-0 to Roma, lets go!!

Nope

He played for Liverpool and Real Madrid so they presumably think he’s knowledgeable

[Father Chris Mouse]

Rightly overturned that penalty decision

[bots]

i would have given that

[Christmas Dynasnow]

so finely balanced

[In the Drunk Tank]

Anthony Taylor no control here at all

[bots]

[In the Drunk Tank]

I think both were penalties lol

[Christmas Dynasnow]

[Christmas Dynasnow]

is paint like dry watching this

[bots]

[In the Drunk Tank]

The last hour has been painful, ball must have only been in play for about ten minutes

I want to go to bed but I haven't sat through this rubbish to miss the penalties

[bots]
