Sometimes I watch a match and think why do I bother with corrupt officials, and biased media!!

That nyom player was an accident waiting to happen. Stupid defending for me.

why do teams seem to foul us 3x as much as other top teams (and dirty, fouls likely to cause injury)?

Is it because they can get away with it, they think they need to foul us to put us off their game, or something else?

3 reasons:
Firstly the refs allow it.
Secondly we are miles better and they have no other way of stopping us.
Lastly the way we play is very very frustrating for the opponents. We constantly force them to defend. We press and suffocate them.

Imagine them pressing one of our players after sprinting 30-40 yards only for our players to easily dribble our way out or simply pass our way out by creating a passing triangle. It's frustrating and they lash out. The feyenoord game, for example. After they went 3-0 down, you could see how they lost their composure and resorted to kicking.

Another flukey goal, most probably offside with a handball as well. 2-0 rags

So, Tom Rostance, BBC, 21.04 "Is that game over" (2-0) ?

Let's see eh ? Early doors.

Really teams fail to show up when they play them this season.

told yar folks... rooting for upset in that group is a waste of passion.
Watford would cruise there.
best case scenario is rags coming second and not being seeded on last 16 draw.

quite entertaing game in Paris, with Neymar showing a couple of 10+ mils first touches

Cavani just doubled the lead with a lovely strike from the edge. simil Brown

Atletico – Chelsea is still 0-0, but the rentboys are looking very strong, Hazard in particular. Saturday's game will be a real test.

Well let's hope Hazard gets a couple of solid boots to his shins tonight

Celtic take the lead after a fine pass from our man Tierney
