Christ, he caused them problems all night. What do these people want, ffs?
Ridiculous evening, flew from Inverness to Heathrow via Manchester. Kick off just after the first flight left the tarmac. No phone reception in Manchester, had a few texts about our goal. Hyperventilated through the next flight, 1-1 on landing. Fuck. On the tube, in and out of tunnels, updates on this forum always fast and funny. Shitting myself when Hugo pulls the saves, then suppressing agony when we almost won it. Final whistle when I'm on the bus home. #SOLOSUBURBANSCENES.
I’ve got a bit of a fever Furs - I’m off to bed. Much love.
They did that.
Pity we can't take them back to WHL.
We would do them there.
Great result, and great match to watch! We held our own and earned a well-deserved draw.
It could pretty easily have been 3-3 if we'd have hit the 1st Half Llorente-Casemiro clear penalty, or the 2nd half Kane chance, while Madrid could easily have scored on the Benzema-Hugo wonder-save, or any of the Ronaldo strikes. We had a few close calls, but against such a quality opponent, you'd have to say that we played really well.
Shout out to Winks for a great overall performance. Good passing and tenacious defense. Credit to Sanchez for a great defensive effort. They both took on and beat their man at times which was wonderful to see. I was sad to not see Dele out there. Sissoko, however, looked better than I have ever seen him for us. It was really great to see Rose out there as well, though it was weird to see him in midfield (?).
If I had one suggestion though, I'd say that Poch should have perhaps brought on Son for Llorente at around 75'. Might have given him an opportunity to run at their back line a bit more. Llorente ran a good deal and won a lot of balls in the air, respect, but he's not really the greatest presser, and seemed a bit tired towards the end.
Anyways, great overall performance- everyone put in a real effort out there. Really looking forward the home leg with Dele back, and Jan and Toby back at the heart of a proper 5 man defense. It's gonna be a great game!

Who do you think kiddo? Eriksen has been great this season. One of our best players but he's a little girl.
He needs to grow some balls. Somebody put some boxing gloves on him and show him how to be aggressive.
He frustrates me.
Didn't see that... its right underneath the bit I posted.
ochfacepalm:OK, fuck the beeb. Fuck Sky. Fuck BT. We have to do this by ourselves
He was poor. I say it as I see it. His passing was shit tonight.
He's been superb so far, I'm not digging him out by any means, he wasn't up to the standard to the rest of the team tonight. Everyone has off games.
You want it both ways as usual you thick wum.
Is he one of our best players or is he a little girl? Fucking hell, the amount of old cunts from your generation who have never got over Dave Mackay give me the shits. This is a better team. Deal with it.
Modric showed eriksen what he should be doing tonight. And isco was their best player imo. Didn't think the rest of them bar the keeper were up to much
You’re an embarrassment. Stop posting.
Harry and a fan, what a guy making someone day better
Nice to see you too Cunt Clash
