Kurt Zouma getting griefed by Brentford fans today. Always funny to read Reddit when it happens because you just know all of the people complaining about how 'IT'S TOO MUCH' are all black people salty that a black guy is getting made fun of.
 
I just find it really funny how kicking a cat can result in prison time and going to a vet and having your cat euthanised for no fucking reason is completely fine.
 
Trust Burnley to lose to fucking Norwich after all my praise the other day. Meanwhile, Brentford might actually finish in the top 10 at this rate. Let's look at the team's remaining fixtures:
  • Watford (Away)
  • Tottenham (Home)
  • Manchester United (Away)
  • Southampton (Home)
  • Everton (Away)
  • Leeds (Home)
When you look at the form of everyone here, Tottenham realistically should be the only hurdle for the Bee's. Especially when you beat two high-flying European contenders back to back!
 
What a game but I can't help but feel like the refs blew it on the disallowed goal. Sterling did not look offside to me.

This was a sticking point for me too. The offside rule needs a serious review now that var is a thing. You just cannot call someone offside if their fingernails or chin hair are off. They need to make the call based on where their feet are and not other parts of their body. It's dumb and makes no sense.

With all the bullshit Wenger has put out there, the one rule of his for changing that I agreed with was the offside rule. Changing it so that if any part of your body that could score is in an onside position then you are onside would be so much better for these rulings

The offside rule has been inconsistent for ages now and the refs don't know what they're doing, sometimes I see them judging whichever foot is furthest but sometimes they judge it on the closest foot, it's ridiculous.

Timo Werner redeemed! Can't believe he took that many touches in the box and was able to finish. Chelsea deserves to go through.

Edit: Nevermind, lol. That equalizer didn't take long. What a cross by Modric, absolutely top class.

Edit: Bayern concedes a late goal! Villareal have somehow reached the semifinals. They are in 7th place domestically :story:

I like to see English sides lose as much as the next man but I'm licking my chops at the prospect of City beating Atletico, and I fully expect Liverpool to finish Benfica off in the next leg, we'll be on course for a Liverpool vs City CL Final.

Honestly Liverpool and City are the only 2 sides worthy of competing for the Champions league. Real Madrid have been too inconsistent in a weakened La Liga to advance and Villareal are just a nice story of an underdog team making it this far by defending way more than Atletico
