Knobhead..Give us Spurs or Porto. Can't be arsed with a hard tie.

So your bio is actually serious. You do support both Barca and United?As expected. Even better, 5-1 (Piqué's goalscoring abbilities still surprise me, Suárez should learn from him). Messi decisive without making a worldwide fuss (ehem), lethal at counter-attacking and huge assists. Barça should have scored the third before the Lyon goal, though. Several bad minutes in the second half. Too dangerous against Juve or City. Unacceptable.
Glad to see Bayern gone. Disaster season for them but still with solid options of winning this BundesLiga! (Dortmund bottlers). Liverpool will suffer in the PL if they intend to be UCL finalists-(losers) again.
4 English teams in QF, and no german clubs. Remarkable.
Yes. And it's more likely than not that that will happen.Well, the draw on Friday is going to be interesting! English teams can play each other now, right?
He isn't a particularly nice personality. Very self-absorbed.His own clubs fans hate him, possibly hate him even more than most of our fans do
Come to think of it, I’m struggling to think of any sets of fans that like him - even my 2 Geordie supporting mates hate him.
You know your stuff.2008-2009.
They had it in 2007-2008 too.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and us in both seasons.
Oblivious to the world because it only revolves around him. For sure.He isn't a particularly nice personality. Very self-absorbed.
There's more chance of Chelsea winning it.Could you imagine if Spurs went and won it.
I know I should be able to at least imagine something, but I genuinely can't even picture itCould you imagine if Spurs went and won it.
Better them than Pool or City.Could you imagine if Spurs went and won it.
Why does that make me a knobhead? We slaughtered Porto last year, and we've had the better of Spurs in recent years. What's wrong with wanting an easier fixture?Knobhead..
The statistics are misleading as they don't account for the quality of the teams. Barcelona v Lyon tonight is the perfect example of this. They didn't go through in any part due to their 0-0 away but rather because they're a much better side and were always expected to win the tie anyway.There was a massive thread all about this, with statistics and details that strongly suggest the notion that 0-0 is a good result away (that team will win more than 60% of the ties).
And you pick a day with two games where away goals weren't a factor to put an end to that laughable notion?
Not even on acidCould you imagine if Spurs went and won it.
There's more chance of Chelsea winning it.
Indeed, with 4 English clubs in the hat it would be truly remarkable if at least two of them weren't drawn against each other.Yes. And it's more likely than not that that will happen.
We beat you 4-1 and drew 2-2 last season, and you only won this season because the ref was blind, I think the season before we drew both fixtures? Hardly 'getting the better' of us, is it?Why does that make me a knobhead? We slaughtered Porto last year, and we've had the better of Spurs in recent years.

Aren't Liverpool just quite a lot better than them right now? It seemed like the impression in Germany was that the 0-0 at Anfield was a bit of a turning point for them, a positive result and one that meant that a home win would put them through. If they had been more attacking at Anfield it's more likely that they would have lost than won given the level the two teams have been at this season.They may not have played for a 0-0, but they barely looked like they wanted to score, it was a baffling performance, that was begging for them to get stuffed in the second leg, and they have done.
2012 final!Liverpool have some ridiculous results in Europe. How many teams beat Bayern at their stadium in a knockout round in Europe? I can only recall Barcelona and Real Madrid in the last decade or so.
Someone needs to smuggle a thermal camera into the draw roomLiverpool v Spurs & Man United v Man City in the next round, winners to play each other in the semis. They're already heating the balls.
Technically the final is a neutral venue2012 final!

Damn you and your accurate stats I just seem to never worry when you lot come to Anfield (got stats for Klopp/Poch overall?) - Obviously you're a tougher draw than Porto, but I'd rather face you than Juve/Barca/United/City, and pretty even with Ajax.We beat you 4-1 and drew 2-2 last season, and you only won this season because the ref was blind, I think the season before we drew both fixtures? Hardly 'getting the better' of us, is it?
You'd be favourites against us, but we wouldn't be an 'easy' fixture for you, and it's downright arrogant to suggest we would. Especially since we'd have it all to play for whereas you still have a league to focus on.
Fair play.Simpyou’re a Liverpool supporter

Yes, and the draw is for both the quarter and semi-final.Well, the draw on Friday is going to be interesting! English teams can play each other now, right?
How many teams beat Juve and PSG on their own patch?Liverpool have some ridiculous results in Europe. How many teams beat Bayern at their stadium in a knockout round in Europe? I can only recall Barcelona and Real Madrid in the last decade or so.
I think what is crazy is looking at it as "counting double". It's a tie-breaker, for that you need a tie in the first place. Had Bayern drawn 1-1 or even won 2-0 away and they would still be kicked out with today's result. They lost because they were much weaker than Liverpool today, not because they played for a 0-0 in the first leg.The statistics are misleading as they don't account for the quality of the teams. Barcelona v Lyon tonight is the perfect example of this. They didn't go through in any part due to their 0-0 away but rather because they're a much better side and were always expected to win the tie anyway.
As for the bold part - away goals were 100% a factor in the tie though. The tie is totally different had Bayern actually scored at Anfield.
It's crazy to decline the opportunity to score a goal which is essentially counts as double and instead opt to take a team back to your place knowing that if they get a goal you're in trouble.
But I think that’s what it was given for. The incident was reviewed - the panel looked at the replays and determined that the referee was correct. The VAR panel will only ask the referee to review it himself if they cannot decide between them whether he is right or wrong (which is nonsense and needs to be removed - it must put doubt in the ref’s mind. The VAR panel should be making the call).That was barely a touch to be fair, never mind a shove. Well that's part of the point, why didn't those morons in the VAR room signal to the ref to take a look at it again? Every guy that I spoke to today about the penalty felt there was nothing in it, and from the replays it looks like the guy tripped himself and was barely touched. Considering the magnitude of the game, there should have been a review. Otherwise what's the point of VAR.
A terrible version of Bayern.Liverpool have some ridiculous results in Europe. How many teams beat Bayern at their stadium in a knockout round in Europe? I can only recall Barcelona and Real Madrid in the last decade or so.
That's fine, I'd rather you than those teams either .. aside from United.Damn you and your accurate stats I just seem to never worry when you lot come to Anfield (got stats for Klopp/Poch overall?) - Obviously you're a tougher draw than Porto, but I'd rather face you than Juve/Barca/United/City, and pretty even with Ajax.
But there's not much hype about them this year. That's the feeling I get anyway. Who's the favourite?Rule them out? They are the second favourites.
They would have a completely different approach to the game though.I think what is crazy is looking at it as "counting double". It's a tie-breaker, for that you need a tie in the first place. Had Bayern drawn 1-1 or even won 2-0 away and they would still be kicked out with today's result.
