Benfica post match

[Shaggy]

No admiration for Benfica after that, no class - they got off with murder. The ref was a joke - he's got to be stopped If LFC doesn't question Pepe's booking (at least) they're mad.

That was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen. On Tuesday night when the Mancs were clinging on in Munich, I saw van Der Sar hold on to the ball for the best part of a ****ing minute and get away with it. SIX SECONDS Pepe had the ball for, six seconds! Booked for timewasting! Just unreal.

What a bunch of cunts they are

In amongst some good creative players they have managed to introduce some horrible *******s with a right nasty edge about them

Typically Portuguese, as Craig said.

Though we'd have been fired up for a European Quarter final anyway this is going to help the whole atmosphere, fans and players. I honestly believe we will wallop them and be 2 up after about 20mins, they arent going to know whats hit them.

Laughably bad refereeing in general.

Both pens were correctly given though, and the red card was correct too.

So the referee was.... bad and correct???

[Shaggy]

I'm worried about Sunday. Ten men for the best part of the game and we got a real ****ing chasing for most of it. Torres was absolutely ****ed by the time he came off and got his usual kicking. The lads will be heavy-legged on Sunday and their in-your-face approach at their place will be hard work.

Only caught the second half, but was the most obvious replacement not The Greek on for Insua ? We were struggling in the air through the middle and Insua well, least said the better.

After Cardozo's flurry of missed headers at the start of the 2nd half I said the same thing - Agger to left back, Insua off and Kyrgiakos on to look after Cardozo.

They were cunts last time we played them and cunts again tonight.

Torres needed to come off for his own protection because all of the officials weren't giving him anything. Kick Torres with impunity it seemed, all night.

Disgraceful ref.

2 pens were correct. Babel's red card was correct. A million fouls by them without yellows was bollocks. They should never have finished the game with 11.

Yep, said that to me mate when Babel saw red. 60mins+ with 10 and barely a touch of the ball going to take a hell of alot out of the players.

Birminghams home form is good and they are bound to be up for it.

I honestly don't see any other player anywhere getting the sort of treatment Nando gets week in week out. Perhaps Messi, at a push. No wonder he's injured all the time, it's constantly open season on Torres and no-one is ever pulled up for it.

How that David Luiz and Luisao ended the game on the pitch is absolutely astonishing.
