    They are not Catalans, they are from Basque country.

    Man City were **** for 75 mins, and two goals could have gone either way. But **** me, I think Sporting deserve to lose that prefix.

    What a fairy tale story that would have been for Joe Hart to score with the last kick of the ball, entertaining stuff, but CMNot, you can't just start to play at the 75th minute and expect to win. It was a miracle they even got close to be honest and Sporting were lucky. I can never understand the tactics in dropping deep and letting a side come over the top of you. Attacking football got you 3-0 up in the first place in the leg, stick to the plan.

    Joey Hart nearly pulled it off at the end. Mancini got an egg in the face after essentially guaranteeing qualification despite first leg defeat. Funny enough, City have found Europe quite tough this season.

    Man City Fan during the Swansea game....lol!

    Turkish response to recently imposed ban on flares during matches. Priceless.

    The Iberians are ridicoulously dominating. Not something unexpected. But that much...it becomes painful. There goes the Euro 2012.
    Any way congratulations Spain and Portugal.

    Spurs V bolton game in the UK FA cup was abandoned around the 41 minute mark after Bolton player Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch while on his own.... 6 paramedics came on and administered CPR and chest compressions before a defibrulator was brought on. Ten minutes after he collapsed the paramedics were able to stretcher him off the field while still performing CPR and he was taken to hospital while attempts to resuscitate him continued.

    no more is known on his condition.....

    Someone should check Bayern München's water bottles, surely there must be something magical in them...

    Hope Muamba pulls through

    Amazing work... ten minutes plus and they get him breathing again.... Reports from the stadium are that he collapsed without making any attempt to break his fall...
