It was almost cruel of United to take the kead last night. A fb friend posted F***ING GET IN!!!!!!! and by the time she'd posted it she was typing BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!!

They gave it a go though, and there's hardly any shame in going out to Bayern.

[El Pibe]

Yeah, La Piba's brother was a sight i can tell you, poor dear.

I tried to support the underdog, but just couldn't do it, maybe after 10 years of mediocrity I'll be able to.

Sol Campbell anyone?

[Parkdrive]

I thought Athletico were outstanding last night, their defending, attacking all round play was incredible. At times Barca looked shell shocked.

[titch juicy]

Yep- let's talk about Atletico.

In only one of the last six seasons have they made a net loss on players sales. They've turned a profit in each of the last three seasons with a net total profit (over those 3 seasons) of ?56m.

If they draw anyone other than RM in the semis of the Champions League, they have the opportunity of beating their closest, much more illustrious and much bigger spending local rivals in the final and also have the opportunity of winning the La Liga title on the last day of the season against Barca in the Camp Nou. Not bad on a budget!

Clubs will be knocking down the door and offering very great riches for Diego Simeone to manage them next season. How delicious would the irony be if he ended up managing Man Utd?

[Jah Lush]

I've fancied Atletico for a while now and it was no surprise to me that they knocked Barca out. Simeone is doing an amazing job there.

That happened to me last night, only I was the recipient. Received a Get in! text from a West Ham* supporting friend just as Bayern scored...quickly followed by Bollox!

*EP take note ;-)

Is that because of Beckham?..

[Parkdrive]

If Simeone is appointed manager of a Prem sidem no doubt the hacks of the red tops and other media types will be crying foul and stating that yet another Johnny Foreigner has been appointed at the expense of a good solid Brit manager like, for example, BFS.

I think most neutrals have enjoyed watching them this season. They play in the mould of Simeone...MUFC board take note

[El Pibe]

"They play in the mould of Simeone"

they fall like a sack of spuds when someone lightly caresses the back of their leg? ;)

[red devil]

Well that's Johnny Foreigners for you... ;-)

I'm not sure he'll be looking towards England as his holy grail PD.
