Am I the only one that can't stomach listening to Alexi broadcast games?

He may as well be Phil Simms to me.

No, I'm with you. He is the worst color commentator in all of sports. I would rather watch the game in Spanish.

Time for me to go incommunicado to avoid spoilers. Thank God for DVRs. YNWA.

Pool looking like they will be going through to the next round. Great to see such complete domination pay off.

De Gea may be close to reaching second best keeper in the world status (none will touch Neuer for some time). Dislike him and Man U, but he has been nothing short of incredible this year. Only keepers still ahead of him IMO would be Courtois and maaaaaybbeee Cech.

Yeah, Neuer is stupid. De Gea is dirty. Today could have been 4-0 easy. Wonder how many points he has gotten Utd over the past couple of seasons.

I was really excited when Pool got Firmino. He took a few months to settle but he is really looking good. Still goes missing for awhile at times but he's young.

I'm feeling good about this tie. I'm thinking 3-1 on aggregate.

This is looking like a good prediction.

So pumped after that great win. Could easily have been even greater if not for De Gea. Don't know how he is always in the right place.

He is atrocious. He is arrogant, condescending, and presumption. I hate watching him on any analyst show or listening to his drivel when he is doing CC.

The worst.

He absolutely killed it last year too. By all acounts Man U's MVP. And then the Spanish national team coach STILL went with Iker in the WC instead of de Gea because he stuck with his favorites that he had previously won with instead of the playing the best players, and Iker was predictably awful. Not sure I'll ever get over that.

Courtois's play slipped this year and Cech isn't on de Gea's level (anymore). I would take de Gea over any keeper in the world outside of Neuer. By the way, Navas is playing out of his mind at Real Madrid this year, building on his incredible World Cup performance after a shaky season last year. He's been their MVP. He should be creeping up any list for top goalkeepers.

He has saved them so many fucking points. He's easily MVP this season as well. I sincerely hope Madrid take him this summer. ManU should be paying that fax machine 100k a week, since it has done more for their season than every player barring De Gea.

....And Bayern are losing 2-0 at home. I'm so ready for guardiola to leave. They have done so bad since he came anytime they faced good competition in Champions League.

I understand that only one team can win the tourney but they have been torn apart by the good teams.

Still pissed at Pep. This is his fault somehow.

Thank goodness they got their crap together.

Anyone watching what is happening in Scotland this year? The EPL isn't the only league in Britain that may have an all time level underdog win their title this year...

.....When are they going to nut up and merge with England/Wales for league football?

It's not their lack of 'nut', Celtic, Rangers, Hearts and others have been begging for some kind of merger for years now, the hold up/push back is on the English side...

Sad deal. So Welsh teams are chill but not Scotland....for dumb.

I could be completely wrong, but with the recent Independence referendum in Scotland, presuming a lot of building up in the years prior, may have played a factor.

"Don't want to be a part of our Kingdom but want our money.." blah blah....

It pains me to see Hoops in such a sad shape..
