Anyone watching on TSN know who the second commentator is? It’s really bugging me

[Danno]

It’s Danny higginbottom, forgotten he existed.

Great to see PSG eliminated again in the last 16. Can't even get as far as Leicester.

[stripeyfox]

Looking forward to a "Spursy" type CL exit tonight.....

You joke but as continually gets dominated by the super giants, it is boring. 

 

The Champions League best moments have been runs by an unfancied Dortmund, Malaga, Leicester, Villarreal, Deportivo, Porto, Monaco. The competition will kill itself. An underdog is required to make the competition have drama. 

 

Soon, I can foresee the last 32 teams being knocked down to 8 in a knockout format and then some mini-league.

Normally he's decent - avoids speaking in cliches and adds actual insight but he was awful yesterday

PSG are just a very, very very rich version of Celtic. A club who dominate their league year in, year out but when it comes to European competition they are total rubbish. That's what happens when the league you play in is just no competition and players are used to playing cruise control every week and can't raise their game for the big European games.

I think a fair few people quite liked us being involved last season. A different ground, club, city all to look at.

Dno why you'd want to watch some team try and shithouse their way to success when you can watch top teams play quality football.

 

Man City v Real/ Barca final would be nice

[Izzy]

Back in the day just before English teams were banned from Europe, I always wanted them to do well and progress.

 

I was even happy for Man U and Liverpool to win it in ‘99 and ‘05. But I just can’t bring myself to get behind Spurs tonight. And I’ve always had a soft spot for Juve so really hope they get through.

But how many times do those teams play an extraordinary final or game? The nature of European football supports defensive football and one team takes the submissive role anyway. 

 

The best European Cup fixture last year was Monaco v Manchester City and probably PSG v Barca. The first game was a ‘smaller team’ outplaying a bigger club and the second an one off comeback.

Is it bad that I really want to see Spurs lose?  I am usually such a reasonable person but I just can't help letting the cvnt in me out with regards to this.  X

[the fox]

I think this goes to pens and higuine bottles one and spurs win it

There will be at least a missed pen in normal time (think kane will miss it)

[Wymsey]

If two English clubs proceeded to the final, the PL will be both praised for its quality elite but also be criticised for allowing it to happen without many home-grown talent etc.

The Juventus team looking a lot stronger for this leg than the last 

[CollinsLCFC]

I want Juventus to win the competition, just to see Buffon finally lift it.

[Turbogre]

Come on Spurs.

[Dan]

Come on Juventus.

[Soar Fox]

Come on Basel.

[Turbogre]

Spurs should of had a pen for that handball.

[VLC86]

Come on Jimmy

[pSinatra]

Got £10 on Man City to win to nil, score in both halves & Jesus to score

 

Good start
