Not sure I've cared about any English club in the CL since.

Seem to care enough that you want City/Chelsea to lose in the Semi's

 

[atypical_boro]

I was agreeing with you Atypical

Ah yeah, sorry.

 

[Laughing]

To be fair if UEFA had any teeth PSG would have been gifted the trophy and prize money. The other clubs should have a ban from the competition.

I genuinely don't. I want all 4 teams to lose and the CL be abandoned for a year.

I will reiterate that this is only my perspective but to my mind they are no more 'English' or an 'English football club' than Coca-Cola are for having a factory in Wakefield.

City Football Group is part of a large international conglomerate that happens to have a football division.

Manchester branch (UK) Melbourne branch (Australia) Montevideo branch (Uruguay) Lommel branch (Belgium) New York branch (USA) Mumbai branch (India) Girona branch (Spain) Sichuan branch (China) Yokohama branch (Japan) Troyes branch (France)

Lesser of the evils.

?????

 

[Marvanelli]

Ha me too! Thinking 'lesser of four evils'.

So you want all 4 to lose, but you'll be rooting for PSG tonight

 

[atypical_boro]

No I won't. I was considering who was the least of 4 evils. All PSG have going for them is not entering the ESL. Not sure that's enough on reflection.

Manchester City are an English football club that currently has foreign owners, but they will always be an English football club.
My goodness, is there anything that you do actually regard as English in this real world?
Coca-Cola don't pretend to be English, but their bottling partner CCEP do employ an awful lot of English folk, look after them very well and are about as socially responsible as any major company you could care to name. Oh and they also generate huge amounts of tax for the UK Government through selling their range of everyday products people love.
As for City, their owners have had an amazingly positive impact on the east of Manchester, not just an ailing old football club.

You might find this discussion interesting.

Plus PSG have that cheating get Neymar - can't stand the bloke, despite his talent

 

[TeaCider]

Looks like it's going to be a good match again tonight.

Can't stand Neymar but I'm expecting him to be involved in a goal.
Hopefully not from a trademark dive.

 

[Laughing]

PSG are looking much better than city at the minute

 

[TeaCider]

PSG lead from a corner, Marquinhos head it in.

 

[Laughing]

1 0 to PSG and its been coming

 

[TeaCider]

Looks like only a matter of time before they get another.

City aren't creating much at all.
I hate that they play without a striker, even though it's worked for them plenty of times this season.

Is looking like a second for PSG it's coming but I can see city getting one. They have enough going forward. PSG may well get 2 more quite easily.

 

[TeaCider]

Huge chance for Foden to equalise, he boots it straight at the keeper.

 

[Laughing]

Foden should have buried that

 

[Laughing]

Am I going mad or do the commentary team think City are doing OK? I think they have been awful going forward, slow and ponderous. We have some midfielders move the ball quicker.
