3-1. Good game, enjoyed that.

Yes. Far cry from the late 80's and early 90's where you knew it was first goal winner because both teams were afraid to cross the half way line. (Lambert jokes not required)

Peaking with that Red Star/Marseille final in the early 90s.
You bastard, I'd expunged that from my memory.
The game where both teams had decided to play for penalties as soon as they'd qualified.

Quote
Over twenty years later in 2011, talking to a French football magazine about the famous win in Bari, Siniša Mihajlović said:

“   That final is still very vivid in my memory. I think it was the most boring final match in the European Cup history. Few hours before the match, seven of us were shown tapes with Olympique matches. I remember [manager] Ljupko Petrović telling us: 'If we attack them we'll leave ourselves open for counterattacks', to which I asked 'so, what do we do then'. His answer was: 'When you get the ball, give it back to them'. So we spent 120 minutes on the pitch without practically touching the ball.

Marchisio has been superb. Pogba has done f**k all
Apart from cover Evra at left back, cover the entire of Barcelona's right side of midfield, be Juve's main outlook down their left and pop up behind Morreta for the 2nd ball.

His energy was incredible. His quality wasn't for me


And we are linked to be signing him, he'd have a hard job displacing Sanchez

Sadly it is his unknown brother we are linked with.

Oh, and there was me thinking we were splashing out on one of the best young midfielders in European football

Wouldn't surprise me if the penalty shoot out was the only attempts on goal it was that bad. Neither side seemed to have the slightest interest in trying to win the game before penalties.

Maybe the moral of this story is not judging a player who is still a year younger than Gary Gardner on one match against the best team in the world?
Err a player valued at £60m and meant to be one of the worlds best.
Nah I'm judging him based on that and he didn't perform .
Let's leave gary Gardner out of this one though   ;D

Disgraceful scenes there with Pique.
A return to the dark ages.

Well, we are linked to signing him, in the sense of 'there's no way in a million years Paul Pogba will ever be signing for Aston Villa.'

Honestly you'd find negatives in getting a sloppy blow job from Kaley Cuoco

Good. Serve him right for describing Villa fans on the pitch as the apocalypse.
