Champions league QF

[fraser]

Bayern v Inter 
Arsenal v Real 
Barcelona v Dortmund 
PSG v Villa

4 decent ties, the top two look the closest with not much in the odds. Hopefully some entertaining games that will save me spending the evenings searching for something to watch. 

Does anyone give a shit and be watching? 

[Jean-Luc Paul Goddard]

Any of the four left can win it, no clear favourite at all in my eyes. 

Arsenal are going to be very hard to beat if they get ahead. 

Yeah, I thought Barcelona were going to win it easily but they really bottled it in the away tie vs Dortmund. Very young side. Don't know if they've got the minerals for it. As you say, could be any one of the 4 teams left.

Semi-finals

Tuesday 29th April
Arsenal v PSG
Barcelona v Inter Milan

Tuesday 6th May
Inter Milan v Barcelona
PSG v Arsenal

Looking forward to PSG v Arse

They will be over two days Mex, just haven't fixed the dates yet.

Two good SF's. I think Arse can get past PSG, mind you they don't really have a proper forward. What happened to Jesus?

Jesus done his cruciate in January. Won't play again for months. Their 1st choice striker, Havertz, has been out for months as well. I think this is why we managed to beat them last month despite them having 20 shots at goal.

They've fixed the CL dates now:

Tuesday 29 April Arsenal vs PSG
Wednesday 30 April Barcelona vs Inter
Tuesday 6 May Inter vs Barcelona
Wednesday 7 May PSG vs Arsenal

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Arsenal win the Champions League 
Spurs win the Europa League
Chelsea win the Conference League

You just know it .
the Lord above seems to take great delight in rubbing our noses in it

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Hoping Villa get tonked.
Getting well above their station.

out - drummed on the night.

[Alfs]

I have no problem with Rice and understand why he left.  I wish him the greatest success, aside from when his team is playing us.

[Iron Duke]

“To think many on here thought Soucek was better.”

Yeah, loads of us said that.

[Pub Bigot]

No issue with Rice. I was there to see him captain us to our first trophy in nearly half a century. But fuck Arsenal. I hope the Parisians batter them. 

[BoleynGone]

May annoy some but I love Declan. What a player. Now he has assists and scores amazing free kicks.
I enjoy watching him so much.
To think many on here thought Soucek was better.
We should be proud that we had him.

[Sydney_Iron]

Always nice to see the entitled Madrid go out but really dont like Arsenal, even though they are English would rather see Inter win this comp, seem the least objectionable of the clubs left in it, Barca and PSG in the same boat as RM for me.

[Tomshardware]

Real Madrid were very poor but credit to Arsenal who defended well and took their chances.  Rice now showing he is the real deal but PSG will be a much tougher test, they're also without Partey in the first leg.

Declan - what a fucking player. 

Good luck to him.

[Mex Martillo]

Love it, Madrid humiliated. Good bye.

[fraser]

Selling him was for the best, he was holding Soucek back after all.

When I watch these games im reminded of how many people outside of West Ham fans thought Rice was average…

The other things that gets me is the list of genuine world class players we’ve had at our club but because of shitty owners and managers we’ve squandered them all. We’re about to see Paq and Kudus go on to tear up the CL next season and yet we are near bottom of the league with these players.

I’ll never understand this club… I suppose that’s why when we win something it feels so good cos we put up with so much shit over here.

I’m not sure we could’ve done much else with Rice, to be honest.

We won a European trophy with him (he went missing in the final btw), we got the semis of the Europa the year before and he lost his cool in the second leg.

He has simply matured at Arsenal….still won nothing with them yet though.

And Kudus and Paqueta are not world class by any metric.

[Mad Ferret]

Can only hope that Real decide to go all out for Rice based on his performances in these games.

[fraser]

Dier scores for Bayern 2~2

[Mad Ferret]

Real have been abysmal to be fair.

Another for them now would make it interesting though.

[Mex Martillo]

Saka goal ha ha ha 
oh Madrid goal... Too fucking late.

[fraser]

Rice completely out classing Bellingham, having a brilliant game. 

[Mex Martillo]

Bellingham losing it. 

[onsideman]

Big game Kane with a goal in Milan.

Big game Kane going home empty handed. Again
