Ah, ffs.

I knew who the twat was as soon as I saw the picture.

Outright corruption that night. Wonder what their agenda will be tomorrow...

[Zippity]

Noise sounds great on the radio.

Wonder when the ref will fcuk us over?

[Zippity]

Did that fella get booked for that pull??

[Zippity]

We're doing ok, actually.

[Zippity]

Ok... not so good now.

Murphy should have given that back to big Nic who had made a brilliant run into the box after his fantastic approach play.

Something switched in Benfica's approach after the first 15 or so minutes and they look dangerous.

[Zippity]

What a goal, man! Bruno's pass was superb, matched by the quality of the cross and Gordon made the finish look easy.

On your own tonight
We could have been 5 up or 3-1 down not a comfortable night

[Zippity]

Been a decent game to watch, though-action at both ends.

Would love us to pass and move like Benfica.

[Zippity]

Get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some finish, that and an assist from Pope!!

[MidsMagpie]

2-0 good to see Barnes getting on the scoresheet in europe again.

[Zippity]

Wait...that's NOT a penalty?

Get in the fucking bin, man.

Meanwhile, Barnes!!! Get in!

[Zippity]

Great second half performance, this.

[PhoneymcRingRing]

This is some result

[Zippity]

Great win, that. Gordon back on form helped.
