"Manchester City must avoid defeat at 10-time European champions Real Madrid to reach their first Champions League final after a cagey first leg at Etihad Stadium."

The League of Bald Headed Men.

Jermaine Jenas and Jason Mohammad will be in new presenting roles on 5 live, including Jenas presenting The Friday Football Social alongside Darren Fletcher.

i was confused first time i heard somebody refer to Darren Fletcher on 5 Live

wish they'd put nult on telly tbh.

dark dystopian football punditry

dunno what context im missing here but yerman from elbow is not letting anyone finish a sentence its all a bit aggressive

ironic because you think he'd be used to meandering aimlessly on and on

Five-year-old Sunderland supporter Bradley Lowery has terminal cancer, but he scored a penalty for his beloved Black Cats in the warm-up against Chelsea on Tuesday night.

There is a growing social media campaign with players, media and fans calling for it to be the official Premier League goal of the month.

HUMBUG

This sort of thing has happened in the SPL at least twice.

Though those probably were the best two goals scored in Scotland in those months, amirite?

You've set a frankly terrible precedent there

Goalie should've stopped it imo

Never a penalty if you ask me

What's with this obsession to show footage of people leaving a match early?

Ben Dunbar: Comment les aimez-vous les pommes?

I cannot footcelsior what I wish to and I cannot say why

a) Michael B

b) the kid is dead

p funny tho

maybe the follow-up is funnier still actually

Nothing inherently funny in the death of a child tbf lj

Although it's mildly amusing that I had to type that

footselfior

we allowing this 1992 liveblog

gonna say it's more tragic than fun.

anything which includes a coventry premier league fantasy is a+ imo

http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41684602

all the highest-rated comments to this are rightly calling it out for the clickbait shite it is

Heh, same with this one, also from today: http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41828734

Are you analysing a football piece using the comments like count

come now

What like on a three count or just whenever I'm ready or what

does it not strike you of all people as tedious that any spurs player who emerges above a certain media-dictated parapet of excellence is destined for a 'bigger club' (population: real madrid)

or are you actually quite cheered with the bernabeu feeder club motif

I like to think that we're above reacting to this stuff as if it required our attn tbh

the wiser discourse

I think the media gets in a tizzy at the idea of an English player being good enough to play for a major team outside England.

It's understandable but curiously honestly humble

Think Tom's otm. An English player succeeding - or even just going - abroad always seems to create huge waves with yr press. Probably because so few succeeded.

But it's still clickbait that deserves to be called out imo.

Count yerselves lucky you don't have to watch on rte. For twenty years George Hamilton has been a second ahead of the picture and it has spoiled every moment of football ever and is currently doing so for spurs madrid

rip armfield, have fond memories of the man

Ah, shame, good guy. RIP Jimmy.

LIVE FA Cup - De Bruyne with cheeky free-kick v Cardiff

FFS! If only he had attempted a deferential free-kick, cos I hate that word.
