Most children of millionaires get a pretty decent education.

Is my punctuation correct here?

How would you say this sentence out loud? Sorry English is my 4th language.

I don't know for certain but I wouldn't have batted an eyelid at it and I'm pretty anal on grammar. Would read it as it's written.

Looks fine to me.

Maybe Gerrard should have done that.

Good to see United having such a huge impact in the Champions League despite not being in it.

If speaking "proper English" is actually important I am doomed.

Why on earth is there so much space between Varane and Marcelo?

Because they're both frauds. Ramos is also not a midfielder.

If you knew the answer then why'd you ask the question?

Karma

I feel Kroos would benefit from a beard, however I don't think he's capable.

Can't believe the 7-0 Barca/Bayern games were 2 years ago now. Time goes far too quickly. 

In fact, it shocks me that we're almost at the end of this season, already.

Feels like a fucking lifetime ago to me.

RIP Boateng

I fucking hate Gary Neville. Tries so hard to find nuances that aren't there. Blows basic shit out of proportion, I swear every time he watches a game it's the greatest/worst something. And he repeats the same nonsense 50 fucking times throughout the course of the match. So glad BT Sport have CL rights for the next few season so I don't have to hear his cunt voice.

Messi > all

What did he say?

"I banged Keyser Soze's sister"

MESSI!!!!  So he is the all-time UEFA Champions League goal scorer, again!  It is fun watching him and Ronaldo pass this record back and forth (Messi 77 Ronaldo 76).  It would be awesome to see the two of them face each in the final.

Did he harp on about how Neuer should have saved the first goal like De Gea would have?

Neville is good in the studio, but dreadful during actual games. Think early in the game (I wasn't listening) he was going on about Bayern playing with 3 in the back. I remember seeing a couple of tweets about it, and I put it on mute for the rest of the game.

I think my favorite commentator is this guy (@1:50):



What's his name (not Andy)?

Loved that moment.

Bayern were playing with 3 at the back for about the first 15 minutes.

I believe that's Rob Hawthorne.

But he literally couldn't not stop speaking about it for the entire 15 minutes and then mentioned every 5 minutes thereafter for the rest of the game. One minute he said it was amazing, next minute he said it was naive. After about 5 minutes he was talking about how this could be the greatest game he'd ever seen. Once he made that statement throughout the rest of the game he was forcefully trying to justify it.

I agree with Steve, he's OK most of the time when he's in the studio. Still makes some retarded comments like with Chelsea and Bale the other day and when he went brain dead and started criticizing Mignolet for bending his knees. But in commentary he is so much more annoying.

Barca 2 stronk
