Ah stupid penalty to give away.

Wonder what Weidenfeller said to Balotelli.

And It would take more than a couple of years for England to lose the 4th spot. As far as I remember we're right at the top by quite a distance.
I don't know how far ahead we were (I think it's Spain that are top now) nor how many seasons it goes back, but you get points for every game with greater points for a win over a draw. Both CL and EL games are included and I think are weighted the same. Both Manchester clubs did poorly last year... But yeah would take a few years

A combination of poor finishing and a great GK but Dortmund were excellent, they've improved in this competition from last season.

Ramsey scored at the end for Arse. Doesn't someone famous always seem to die the day after he scores? Wonder who it's going to be tomorrow...

Some poor finishing cost Dortmund there but they are a joy to watch and would love to be able to watch them live in the fabulous Westfalenstadion!

Huh, so Dortmund really ARE like us: play attractive, pacy football, fail to take their chances and give away a last minute equaliser.

Also, can we all just have a collective laugh at PSG?:LOL:

"The penalty was harsh, but it was a penalty because the referee gave it. The defender doesn't move his arms and the ball has hit him. I think it's harsh, but City have capitalised."

"Borussia Dortmund should have won this game comfortably. They have only themselves to blame. But they looked very, very good in all areas."

Lawro's thoughts on the penalty apparently. Thanks for that insight Lawro!

I would love for our new stadium to look like the Westfalenstadion, it's a proper football stadium, none of this bowl rubbish.

In all the seasons Ive watched the champions league I think City over the last two seasons have been the worst English team I have seen, they get outplayed in every game. I know people can argue that they have had tough groups both seasons but with the squad they have=NO EXCUSE.

I know this may sound silly because City won the league but I really dont think Mancini is all that, they get away with so many shit performances because they have some really top class individuals but they are not a great team like previous Premier League champions, so that can only be down to a manager that has so many world class players at his disposal.

Kompany has gone backwards since last season big time.

Honest assessment from Mancini.
