adox

Ah the lads on RTE have got a new lease of life and have gone into overdrive.

All three sticking the boot into Mourhino.

Mourniho's anti-football tactics are the reason his side are out.

Yep. Chelsea looked dangerous whenever they came forward, they just didn't come forward enough. PSG in contrast were brave and positive.

Ridiculous, absolutely shocking to play for that long against 10 men and to play so remarkably under par. Woeful.

You play one of the great clubs, you play Bayern Munich, you play Barcelona with 10 men for that long and they rip you apart. Chelsea had no conviction, no belief in how they went about the game, it was 11 confused individuals for such a long period of the game.

Sky have latched onto English teams failing in Europe and this was another example of why. I do think that English clubs are conned by clubs who raise their prices a crazy amount when English teams come knocking.

Dunphy just said it there, the English league is a soap opera, it's the other European leagues that are the true dramas. This is one failure too much.

For once, I agree with Souness. Mourinho is toxic with his attitude

As you're ignoring PSG's performance in the first leg, it's clear your view is unbalanced.

This is the second leg thread right?

He's right though.

Despite what Sky / BT try to feed us about the PL being the "best" league in the world it's clearly not.

Why do you care? Are you English? Is it a personal insult to you that the league isn't that great? Are you someway proud of the league when an English team does well?

A lot of people on this thread need to re-evaluate how they think about things.

The best the PL has to offer just failed to see off a ten man team over 120 minutes. Further more, they even failed to control the game!

Disgrace first time in the history of the world that 10 men beat 11. They worked their socks off and deserved it fair play no hard feelings from me. Sort of like us against Barca a few years back it happens to the brave and faithful and all that

Turtyturd

F*cking beautiful.

The 11 men from Paris came across the channel and played not like the French stereotype, maybe because not many are from France, but stood tall like the Eiffel Tower of their team's native city, battling against the injustice and bias of the a referee from the kick off. It's not often that you see 10 men beat 11, but to see 10 men beat 12 was before today the stuff of myth, but no more, these men will return to Paris no longer mere men but legends.

Most football fans in England wouldn't claim it to be the best. That's the lovely British sports writers for you. It may have a claim to be one of the most entertaining (mainly due to the technical frailties of a lot of the players), but the best technically? Nowhere near the Spanish or German leagues.

Someone needs to do the following photoshop:

The PSG boys on the train. Silva, Luiz, Veratti and possibly Ibra at the back. Then the guy trying to board the train is Jose. And the PSG gang don't let him on.

And there is a champions league logo on the train. Or the "Next Stop" sign has "Quarter finals" on it. Or something.

Please someone do this. Or draw it in paint. I don't care, just get it done.

lol at the RTE guys :pac::pac:

I don't particularly care, no. I'm just making an observation.

I'm irish. No it's not a personal insult that the league isn't what it's hyped to be. Again, it's an observation.

The modern day version of the 1970s Leeds side. Very efficient and good at what they do, but deeply unloved by the majority of fans of other clubs.

Find it hard to disagree with what they're saying though.

Sanity_Saviour

honestly one of the worst performances I've ever seen from Chelsea, everything they did seemed guided towards fking things up for themselves. League 2 defending, LSL level pedestrian attacking and uncharacteristically shaky keeping from Courtouis.

Willian can't have a future past this year, I honestly don't know how he starts every game. All he is is a poor man's James Milner with less end product.

It does give me a sense of comfort to see the pseudo-PSG/Pool/Arsenal fans' obsession with Mourinho: "A victory for humanity" is my favourite comment I think I've ever read! (adding to the 50 odd sneers from gremlins about looking forward to his press conference, love it!)

You know it's good though when winning the league at a canter might be seen as a mediocre season!

Dunphy just stopped short of saying that Mourinho gave Villanova cancer.

As a lifelong Liverpool fan I can say you could never dislike Fergies Utd the way you can any Mourinho team, hes just so negative and hateful and surrounds his teams with people in his image.He doesn't try to win games the way Fergies teams always did,Utd always played good football and did it the right way.

Was Don Reavie as hated as Jose, looking at the Damned Utd he had the same kind of attitude as Jose.

Compelling game even though it was horrible football, but my God, karma has never been in more force than over London tonight.
Have that all you "Win at all costs" merchants like Mourinho. Football & sport is the winner on a great night for PSG

Don't forget their horrible fans, negative tactics, Costa, Terry etc.

dersawazzie

We played poorly, almost had the game handed to us and we made a balls of it, simple. Best of luck to PSG, no complaints.

Last time I looked we are still top of our league, a position many in here wish they could be in. A bad night but that's all, the drama queens and haters keep working away, its probably the highlight of your season.

United always played good football, are you delusional, they were champions, they won. Not always good football

Mourinho is a clown when he retires he wont be celebrated as one of the greats, everyone will just be happy he is gone, no respect at all.

Whats hilarious is Chelsea can create chances at will when they want to.. Mourinho is so anti-football.

David Luiz didn't stand tall; he threw himself to the ground in pitiful fashion, feigning a headbutt and then jumping up and smiling as he got booked for his nonsense.

I am pleased that PSG went through and it was deserved, but let's not pretend that PSG embody the true values of the game. Football lost tonight.

Yep. As someone who usually supports English clubs in Europe, I was hoping PSG would go through after half an hour. Terribly distasteful behaviour from too many Chelsea players and manager. Thought PSG were incredible, and individually their players were on a different level. Proper ballers as the young lads say! Pastore, Silva, Luiz, Motta and Veratti with world class performances. Hazard and Courtois closest for Chelsea.
