Today's Football 2017-18 Season

Bye Spuds. Having your fans singing that dirge probably doesn't help mind you lol

Really hope Buffon gets a CL title before he retires.

He'll cost them winning it. Bit lucky tonight.

What was the ref doing at the end? I don't understand the delay if their was a foul. Their was no chance at advantage for juventus their. Not that Tottenham would have scored but it killed what was building up to a really climatic ending.

don't think he had a clue all game tbh, but maybe his assistant told him something in his ear? Spurs had the ball, so that'd why he blew for a free kick.

If I came home from work early, and found the wife in bed with Buffon, I'd make him a cup of tea.

They'll lose one or two top guys in the summer now too.

Think the other farcical thing is, you can get knocked out of the champions league, and then be rewarded by being given a place in the Europa league, so a second chance of European silverware.

i'd change pretty much everything UEFA does tbh

I'd climb on or give him a reach around at least

If Roma go through too I think the Italian sides will be the ones teams will want to draw. They’ve seen off Spurs with some nous but can you imagine 36 year old Barzagli v Salah or Lukaku?

Perhaps. I didn't think about the official in his ear. It was all odd because it looked as though he blew the whistle for an injured player, then waited to signal for a free kick quite a bit after the stoppage.

Reasonable explanation though, it was just very confusing at the moment. Again, it may have been the right call, but how it was all executed was confusing.

I agree though, he was spotty. And the missed offsides on the spurs header off the post was ridiculous

Plays for Milan now mate. Unless that was just a random observation which is fair enough lol

pmsl

 

[Big Fat Sam]

is Poch still the greatest technician in the game ?

I think Allegri can take that one. Changed their shape and style and they scored 2 goals within 10 minutes of the change. World class.

 

[wilfjacko]

Grandi prestazioni.

Knowing my luck it'd be flipping Stekelenburg or someone.

 

[ToffeeTim]

That Juve side aren't great either.

he missed one of the most blatant penalties of the season. And even then, if he doesn't give a foul, it's a yellow for a dive? Surely? I don't understand how pathetic refereeing is in football. I'm always advocating they deserve some more support at times, but if it's not a foul, nor a dive what is it in that situation? What decision has he actually made? He got the ball? Nope, he was about 10 yard away from the ball. Accidental collision? What, from a slide tackle? ha

Just bizzare, when he makes that decision, you can't be surprised by anything else he does haha
