You look ridiculous if you try a Panenka pen and the goalie doesn't move...

Well no English teams left in the CL or the Desmond at the SF stage.

Villa scrape by in the Douglas, with the usual penalty shootout shithousery we've come to expect from EmI Martinez…

He is certainly a character Ex isn’t he.

I thought he was being sent off when the ref waved the yellow card.
Then was updated by the commentary team……….. who themselves had to be told about rules regarding extra time yellow cards

Pure theatrics

That was some FA Cup SF between Coventry and Man U.

United going 3 nil up in the first half, then Coventry pulling them back to 3-3 and having a marginal offside goal ruled out in time added on, after 120 min. So, unlucky.

Man U won the pen shootout.

We have the usual routine match now, of City thrashing United in the final

Arsenal 5 - 0 Chelsea.

Second half was best footy, I've see this season. Poch looked gobsmacked.

Declan and Kai, mega signings. Arteta got that so right.

Captain best player on the pitch Ex.

Meanwhile………. Back at Selhurst Park (where I was)

Toon looked so ordinary

As a Gooner, it was not an easy watch to see Chris Wood’s two ‘easier to score than miss’ chances go begging.

It was a great Arsenal display at White Hart Lane. 3 nil at half time, but a couple of mistakes let Tottenham back in it and made for a nervy last few minutes. Spurs are a good team.

City will find their away match against Tottenham in the run-in, their biggest challenge to retain the title.

ex crosses fingers…

Was hoping Bayern could have scored a third but hey ho.
Would love to see a PSG/Munich final. But don’t you just think Real M have a way to get over the line

Taking a 2-2 draw back to the Santiago Bernabeu, will enable RM to progress to the final. RM seem to have winning in their DNA.

I expect PSG to get to the final also and think that it might be Kylian's day on the big stage.

Always crazy to predict in footy, though...
