What a great win this morning. We come from behind and beat Barcelona 2-1 (4-3 on Agg) Cmon United! Through to the next stage of the Europa League.

Huge win Easty. Think it shows a real change in confidence.
Secretly hoping they draw Roma next. That’d be fun

He has been very good chef. After a bad start he has turned it right around. Very different from last season.

My brother is scratching his head with how Chelsea are going at the moment. Big game on Sunday for you guys against Spurs.

If you want to know what influence over the officials money buys you, check out the encroachment farce in the Chelsea, Dortmund game.

It will be spoken about A LOT post game.

Controversial, but we deserve some luck atm. Good win and by far the better team over 2 legs. On we roll.

Agree better team no doubt.

That call was huge though changed the tie, how they can actually look at the video and decide that is beyond belief.

Saved Potter's bacon.

It didn't change the momentum of the tie, it just stopped it going to extra time.

You've got your Chelsea scarf covering one eye !

Thought Dortmund were in control first half, dominating midfield, dominating possession without much end product. There was a low cross from the right that Reus should've got on the end of, can't think of much else.

Chelsea did look more dangerous in that second half after Sterling got lucky with a bounce after fluffing it for his goal.


I am more interested in the decision via VAR. Dortmund are my German team (another good steel town) but I barely take interest.

From what I've read, it's because he missed and the ball ricochet to one of the encroaching players. If that's the rule then I'm ok with it.

We set up to allow them to dominate possession and hit them on the break. Which we did really well, had a plan and it worked and we had a lot more chances to actually score than Dortmund. Well done to Potter. I never felt threatened TBH over the 2 legs.

Apparently, the retake wasn't as controversial as I thought(something to do with the Dortmund players in the D) either so good win in the end and we roll on.
