Enough already here's the 2016-2017 Champions League thread

don't think i've seen madrid play this season?? modric/kroos/casemiro vs alonso/thiago/vidal should be interesting.

The defending in champions league was never as poor

generally i'd except atleti and juve from that.

oof excellent header from benzema

wow neuer got his fingertips to that

i hadn't really considered it but a little amazing that a team as rich as bayern happily goes into and through an entire season with only 2 CF's in the entire squad, one of which is muller who is a kinda hybrid CF.

oof vidal bullet header!

Atleti penalty.

Scored.

9 more of those please

oh will you just shut up

Bad call on that penalty. Clearly outside the box.

I KNOW GERMAN FOOTBALL I'M A FOOTBALL EXPERT LOOK AT ME WOW DID YOU SEE THAT BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH HAVE A DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER WITH A SWEET LEFT PEG WOW NICE FROM THE BAYERN WUNDERKIND THERE HE JUST PICKED HIS NOSE

Are Bale and Ornadlo even playing? Bayern ruling this (though Lewa's absence is noticable)

Vidal you twat lol

Vidal's penalty might just have hit BVB's bus it was that high over the bar

too soon

this is wildly disproportionate - give it a rest, not just this post either. calm down.

Not sure why '9 more please' prompted that.

vintage torres... then... other vintage torres

Don't get it either. People on a msg board know more about German football than LJ, which causes LJ to explode with rage? Anyway idc.

So Ronaldo is playing after all. Suddenly not so sure BM will walk this...

Oh dear... Red card for Martinez.

Boy did I pick the wrong night for my Unibet bonus dough riding on a BM win :-/

Could be worse. I bet on Leicester to score.

Griezmann's pen won me 3 quid. There's that, but BM winning is the big one tonight.

I can see LCFC sneaking in a goal once they're 3 or 4-0 behind tbh.

doesn't look like any more goals in it tbh. or certainly not many more. imo.

LJ dyou wanna explain that was an elaborate prank before ilf bans you or what

p much the first time, or maybe second at most, that i've ever flagged a post

:(

sorry that was total end-of-long-day arsehole move, feel v bad that pandemic didn't come back either, was completely misjudged, no need to take one's grumpiness out on someone for being enthusiastic and knowledgeable, don't want to alienate ppl and ruin ilx further, please pandemic if you're reading, come back, i won't snipe again, ur sports knowledge is actually p useful to have around

& that's not even for me to say - just do your thing and i won't be a dick, promise. i don't even dislike you. i just lost the plot.

Well after that rather pregnant pause

I don't believe that ilf is a safe space or any of that shit but at the same time i think we've got a fairly nice vibe in here that allows for us to abuse lfc fans without the rage bleeding out into the rest of ile and for ppl to interact around football where they wouldn't normally be able to pass each other without hissing in a politics thread or etc

The above isn't even related in any way i can define but seriously that episode above is fuckin ridiculous. Your days are no longer than anyone elses but regardless there wasn't actually any reason whatsoever for that rather typically self indulgent attack and frankly rather typically self indulgent apology.

Pandemic if u dont login and tell me who spurs should sign to replace janssen by midday Dublin time I'm fping lj oh yeah i said it. I might even launch one of my famous ban campaigns and i warn u I've a p good success rate (in fairness most have been rooneyesque tapins)

have felt over the past couple of years that bas dost is the perfect striker to lose form for spurs

midday Dublin time

I thought we'd sorted this "time" thing out.

Didn't i just beg for ile beef not to be taken on to the pitch ffs

ice cold from nxd btw

frankly rather typically self indulgent apology.

You noticed too. But today is another day.

Booming post deems. Hope Pandemic isn't disheartened, he's a v enjoyable and knowledgeable ilf assett imho.

have felt over the past couple of years that bas dost is the perfect striker to lose form for spurs

Ya this is ice cold but rings true. I have no idea what happened to Jansen other than that he's just not cut out for the pl? The gap between Eredivisie and PL is getting too big. See Depay, Jansen, Afonso Alves lol. The Dutchies who do get along (Wijnaldum best recent example) all had a stop at a lesser team before going to he big boys.

Dost, though: I'd take a gamble if I were Spurs. He was good at Wolfsburg, and is killing it in Portugal rn.

Ach Portugal I'm not over helder postiga yet

It'd be interesting to see Anthony Modeste back in the PL. He has been phenomenal this season and i am not sure Koln will be able to hold on to him.

On 8 August 2013 Postiga joined Valencia CF for a fee of £2.6 million replacing Tottenham bound Roberto Sold- ah stop, stop I'm already dead

Craig Shakespeare all over your *sound of clock breaking*

Lewa scores a penalty.

ah bollocks Cron

Ronaldo scores and Ramos knocks in a terrible OG so all square.

oh lol excellent

LOL Ramos

Harsh red.

Or second yellow.

welp

welp

think he was offside there too...

geezum crow lady

that second yellow wasn't even a foul
