Tonight's games

[Sir David Gray]

Juventus 1-0 Borussia Dortmund, Tevez
Manchester City 0-1 Barcelona, Suarez

[Hibby Bairn]

Have to say I absolutely love seeing Man City toil and struggle in Champions League.

[Sir David Gray]

Juventus 1-1 Borussia Dortmund, Reus

[Scouse Hibee]

Dortmund have equalised, just knew Suarez would score against City.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Have to say I absolutely love seeing Man City toil and struggle in Champions League.

The draws they've had over the last 3 years have been dreadful. Arsenal and Man U (when they're in it) always seem to get easy draws in comparison.

[Sir David Gray]

Manchester City 0-2 Barcelona, Suarez

Tie over.

[Scouse Hibee]

Suarez again

[Onceinawhile]

2-0 barca. City look absolutely outclassed.

[Hibby Bairn]

Brilliant. Another hole in Man City's business plan.

[Aldo]

Next goal crucial for City but Barca are strolling it. Superb 2nd from Suarez

[poolman]

What a fantastic goal that was

[Onceinawhile]

The draws they've had over the last 3 years have been dreadful. Arsenal and Man U (when they're in it) always seem to get easy draws in comparison.

Arsenal have had Bayern Munich two years in a row. Ac milan (when they were still good) the year before and barcelona before that.

Hardly easy!

[Bishop Hibee]

Rumours of Barca's demise have been greatly exaggerated. Different class so far.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Arsenal have had Bayern Munich two years in a row. Ac milan (when they were still good) the year before and barcelona before that.

Hardly easy!


I think I'm thinking about the group stages as well?

Although I admit I hardly pay attention to the CL until about QF.

[blackpoolhibs]

If you want an easier draw then win the group. :agree:

[Sylar]

Barcelona are a joy to behold this evening!

[theonlywayisup]

Surely some mistake!!!

City are the champs of the best league in the world.

[Mon Dieu4]

Scary thing is I get the impression if they needed to Barcalona have another couple gears they could go up

[3pm]

2-1 Juve.

[SteveHFC]

Have to say I absolutely love seeing Man City toil and struggle in Champions League.

This. Man City are everything that's wrong with football.

[Sir David Gray]

Dundee Utd 0-1 Inverness

Dundee Utd seem to have imploded since the loss of Mackay-Steven and Armstrong.

Their goalkeeper's been sent off as well.

No good for us really as we need UTD to beat celtic imo if we got a chance in the SC

[Sir David Gray]

No good for us really as we need UTD to beat celtic imo if we got a chance in the SC

No chance of that IMO.

I actually think we would stand a better chance of beating Celtic at this moment in time than Dundee Utd would.

[Onion]

This. Man City are everything that's wrong with football.

Find it funny, City fans moaning from the stands about getting beat by Barca, when just a few years ago they were a nothing club. The fans have done zip to put the club in this position but feel aggrieved when they get a footballing lessons from one of the great clubs :greengrin

One of the great clubs who also spend an absolute fortune on players.

But that's ok though?

[Brightside]

a crazy line up and setup from city...

Tbf we would be the same ;)

[theonlywayisup]

How many City players would get into the Barca team?

[Haymaker]

a crazy line up and setup from city...

Very.

EDIT: as I posted Nasri comes off but Milner (who I haven't heard on the pitch) stays on? Bizzare.

[leither17]

How many City players would get into the Barca team?

silva for rakitic

aguero for neymar

[SteveHFC]

Come on Burton and Norwich :hyper

[Haymaker]

silva for rakitic

aguero for neymar

Probably both there next year! :greengrin

[Hibby Bairn]

silva for rakitic

aguero for neymar

Dzeko for Messi

Milner for Iniesta

[Onion]

But that's ok though?

Absolutely. Barca have a deep rooted culture, pedigree and a sustainable financial structure with a decent smattering of national players. City is a temporary, manufactured plaything until someone gets bored :greengrin

[Hibby Bairn]

Correct.

[Sir David Gray]

Manchester City 1-2 Barcelona, Aguero

[matty_f]

Cracking goal for City there.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Was it Real or Barca that got bailed out by their council a few years ago after they overspent?

[Scorrie]

Was it Real or Barca that got bailed out by their council a few years ago after they overspent?

It was Real. Council bought their training ground for a fortune and gave it back to them from what I recall or something similar

[Haymaker]

Was it Real or Barca that got bailed out by their council a few years ago after they overspent?

Both in many different ways.

It was the British taxpayer who paid for the Bale transfer. :greengrin

[Haymaker]

It was Real. Council bought their training ground for a fortune and gave it back to them from what I recall or something similar

Bought it for obscene amounts then loaned it back for peanuts.

Both are registered as charities so pay little tax iirc

[Sir David Gray]

Clichy sent off for Manchester City.

[Billychaotic182]

Riordan on for east fife and set up a goal

[Sir David Gray]

Dundee Utd 1-1 Inverness

[SteveHFC]

Burton let me down for £1300.

[Hermit Crab]

I see berwick are losing 2-1 up in Elgin.

[Sir David Gray]

Penalty for Barcelona.

Hart saves the penalty and then Messi puts the rebound wide.

[hibs0666]

The only reason Barcelona compete at this level it's beside they and real Madrid have stitched up the Spanish tv money between them.

[Sir David Gray]

Full time;

Manchester City 1-2 Barcelona

[Haymaker]

Penalty for Barcelona.

Hart saves the penalty and then Messi puts the rebound wide.

Why why WHY couldn't harry kane done that on Sunday?!

[Danderhall Hibs]

Penalty for Barcelona.

Hart saves the penalty and then Messi puts the rebound wide.

Absolute sitter!

[theonlywayisup]

Penalty for Barcelona.

Hart saves the penalty and then Messi puts the rebound wide.

Wonder how important will that miss/save be!

[bigwheel]

Why why WHY couldn't harry kane done that on Sunday?!


because he is better than Messi :greengrin

[hibbysam]

Pish! Yes money is heavily weighted in there favour but money doesn't buy you a first team that in its peak (guardiolas era) was 90% homegrown!

[Hibby Bairn]

I see berwick are losing 2-1 up in Elgin.

Berwick away at Elgin on a Tuesday night in February. Nuts.

[Haymaker]

because he is better than Messi :greengrin

:greengrin off to Real next season!

[snooky]

How's East Five doing? :greengrin

[Sir David Gray]

Berwick away at Elgin on a Tuesday night in February. Nuts.

Fair play to any Berwick Rangers fans who made the trip up there tonight!

Almost a 500 miles round trip!

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Still can't believe Messi's header. Guess he's human after all

[Haymaker]

Ronaldo would have scored it...


:greengrin

[Hermit Crab]

I wonder if there was any.

[ElginHibbie]

I wonder if there was any.

I was at the match, couple of Berwick fans near where I standing but that seemed about it

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Ronaldo would have scored it...


:greengrin

Nah he would have been sent off for lashing out at someone by that point 😊

[Haymaker]

[O'Rourke3]

They've been places

[Sir David Gray]
