I presume Glasgow has been set ablaze?

And life for Arbeloa does not get better...

Hearts are still slightly less likely than likely to win the league; most bookies are offering 11/10 against for them. Celtic next at 6/5 and Rangers are about 11/4.

As a Rangers supporter I’m irate. Dropped points are going to cost the title. Not specifically against them but every team that isn’t them.

When the league splits it’s unfortunate for Rangers as the key matches are likely to be away from ibrox. Still, from where Rangers started….

Also btw odds mean nothing other than balancing the money being wagered.

Saving that for the Scottish Cup match.

Galatasary have absolutely played Liverpool off the park today. They should be up by three or four goals. The atmosphere is unlike anything else in sports, the crowd whistle every time Liverpool are in possession without fail.

[SuperMatt18]

All of 15 minutes for spurs to be down 2-0

What a ridiculous manager appointment than anybody who watched Juventus knew was a terrible decision.

Edit: Actually it was 14 minutes for 2-0 and 15 minutes for 3-0

[Senator Clay Davis]

The UCL being in the Championship dream is dead. Spurs being in the Championship looking like a fait accompli though.

[SuperMatt18]

4-0 after 22 minutes.

Just fire Tudor at halftime.

[Senator Clay Davis]

4-1, comeback on, UCL in Championship dream lives, lifetime extension for Tudor.

[devo22]

the Igor Tudor hire was a disaster the minute it happened. Still shocked Spurs thought this was a good move

[Senator Clay Davis]

Good news for them is its a deal until the end of the season only. Gotta imagine the Dyche bat signal will be going up soon.

Liverpool played like absolute garbage.

This is where it's too bad we don't have Levy. I'm pretty sure that he would have Tudor sacked at halftime and Poch would come out of the stands to run the second half. Alas, it might be 6/7 to 1 at the end of this and we still have to host them in the second leg.

[SuperMatt18]

In other news both Lopez and Yamal had clear yellow card offenses in the first half which would have seen then miss the second leg...and both ignored.

Typical reffing that Barcelona gets.

[devo22]

Levy left Spurs in September. I don't "I wish we had Levy" at all, he's very much responsible for this mess.

Oh, I don't mean to suggest that he isn't responsible. I just think that having the Gooner in charge is a step down, and not solving anything.

[SuperMatt18]

Levy made mistake 1 which was firing Ange and hiring Frank. Now compounded by hiring Tudor which was just ridiculous from the second it was announced.

Tudor also decides to leave Vicario on the bench today...and the first and third goals were direct errors by Kinsky

[Senator Clay Davis]

Firing Ange in isolation wasn't a terrible decision, but making such a lateral or even slightly backwards hire was stupidity. Firing for a clear upgrade would have been fine.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Subbing Kinsky off after 17' is just about the worst man management and humiliating thing I've seen in football. Wow

He made two horrible mistakes but it feels like Tudor has exponentially multiplied the problem by taking him off in that way
