Simeone vs Arteta will be something like

Battle of the Bastards

I've only just watched the highlights and the World's Best Defender is really just embarrassing now, isn't he. Like, it almost isn't even funny anymore how shit he is.

Almost, but not quite.

It's fucking hilarious.

The only bit I've seen is the Kvara goal, and his delay in reacting to through ball is absolutely criminal, he's totally flat-footed. Even then when he gets going he just ambles back towards goal whilst making no effort to actually do anything. It's absolutely embarrassing defending.

He’s shite. He’s only had an “world class” run of about 60 games in his career. Prolonged purple patch and reverted to an SPL/Southampton level defender.

But he blames everyone else around him. Horrible captain

To be fair to him, his team mates are all very unlikable

Porto v Forest or Palace v Fiorentina?

Porto for me, but I'm going to Porto next week for a stag and have tickets, so I want to see what they've got.

Not considering Bologna vs Villa?

Probably leaning toward Fiorentina as I have a soft spot for them, but not sure that might be the most fun game of the three. I might guess Porto vs Forest could be the best for entertainment.

Sorry, but is this Thiago silva I can see playing for Porto?

Palace 2-0 up against Fiorentina coming to HT in the Quarter Finals and they've not been arsed for months and have had a mess of a season. If you're in that tournament as an English team then anything but winning it is a disappointment.

That Forest goal got disallowed because the ball hit the keeper on the head?

Don't know if Forest will get through and don't want to risk them winning the whole thing but would make for a fun SF

1st Leg Forest v Villa
2nd Leg Villa v Forest

Forest had a rotated team out there tonight and got a draw away to Porto.

English teams will completely dominate the Europa league and conference from now on.

I still don't understand how the standard has dropped so much.
