Looks like Rojo is gonna get away with that stamp on Hazard. Shows what happens when you play for Man Utd; the amount of shit he gets away with is incredible.
no
That is because that useless ref saw it... get away with it Rojo is shit....
Nice, he's right.
“If you play at Barcelona on Wednesday night, you have to fight for every single ball and again on the Saturday in the Premier League then of course it will be difficult."
Let me see where they're at...
15th place in the league.
Yep, dead on Wenger.
OHHHHHH, you just read headlines that "writers" make up and base whatever you read on that. Got it.
Tbf, while Sevilla is a strong team, they are nothing compared to the Barca or Bayern whom Arsenal always seem to face (except the one time they got Monaco). Plus, Sevilla outplayed Leicester in the games and could have won by a landslide in the first leg if they had better finishers.

Well, my first guess would be Atletico if Griezmann leaves. Chelsea might be interested if Costa leaves. MU might want him if they didn't get Griezmann. Can't think of any other team outside of Real Madrid (to replace an aging Benzema) or PSG since he's nowhere near the quality of MSN or Lewandowski.

Honestly, I wanted Lukaku at United way before interest of Ibra even sprung up, though can't see it happening now even if Griezmann were to decline. Would suggest Atleti or Chelsea as the most likely suitors. This man actually puts in work unlike a certain Swedish lump in the United forward position. A good finisher and fairly prolific, yes, still would rather have a player like Lukaku in the side than Zlatan, but that's just my opinion.
Very good win for Monaco hopefully not another La Liga quarter final. I think this could be the year for Juventus.
But but but EPL is the best league in the world and Pep is the best manager. HAHAHAHAHAHA
Monaco is just really good, yes they play in the not as good as before ligue 1 but they're top of the league, highest scorers in Europe for a reason and play without fear. They don't act like an entitled side either
Monaco would beat every EPL team its not just pep.
Besides Leicester*
Champions League QF:
Atletico Madrid vs Leicester
Dortmund vs Monaco
Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid
Juventus vs Barcelona
The latter two look the tastiest of them all, although they should all be a good eight games.

I'm somewhat hoping either Barcelona or Real Madrid get knocked out, or we have an El Clasico final...provided of course Leicester don't win it all (will always support the English teams in Europe, if only for the co-efficient).
Didn't Leicester vs Atletico have a dodgy ref or something before?

Champions League QF predictions:
Atletico Madrid (65) vs Leicester (35) - The definetely clearest match of this round. I was really impressed by Leicesters performance in the 2nd game vs Atletico, lots of intenstity and power of will but under normal circumstances Atletico should be at least a class better.
Dortmund (55) vs Monaco (45) - This one seems to be really interesting. Both teams have great offensive power with a lot of young power but also seem to struggle a bit defensively. I see Dortmund a bit better overall because I think they are more likely to get some kind of stability into their defense.
Bayern Munich (52) vs Real Madrid (48) - Probably the highlight of this round. This match could really go either way and will be decided by nuances. I see Bayern with a small advantage because they are probably a bit better in shape atm.
Juventus (51) vs Barcelona (49) - Another amazing pairing which could definetely go either way. Barca struggled a bit recently while Juve didn't have any great challenges yet. I see Juve with a slight advantage since Busquets will miss the first match for Barca.

Is that goal allowed by the laws of the game?
One of the funniest that I've seen in a while.
edit: talking about West Brom's second goal
