Showbiz, baby!
The excitement for Aldo v McGregor continues to build.
He didn’t just miss it. He stopped it going in
Never seen anything like that before,astonishing
Match fixing. Period.
@Johnny B: he scored the first goal
Is that not obvious corruption? Whatever the reason for it. Betting. The league or club wanting to hold on. I hope they get fined billions and docked 70 points.
@davemck: he scored before that
@Aidan Butler: exactly
Some rise. Gone from bench at a relegated team to starting for one of the best teams in the world in a season
@John: They’re hardly one of the best teams in the world when a side sitting in 6th in the Premier League can knock em out of Europe! A bunch of show ponys Bill!
@Flaming Mo: I still prefer Ronnie Rosenthal’s miss
@mark: has to be the slippery slip for me! Encore !
Langer…!
Even John Delaney would have finished that
The Man City of France. Usually out of Europe with tail between their legs. Expensive Klops sorry Flops!
