Watching the Spurs match, the LB Benjamin Mendy looks really interesting.

Too bad we missed out on Sidibe, could have been a very good backup RB.

And they combine for the first goal, Mendy with a great run and cross for Sidibe.

Crazy game. Spurs equalise from pen after a dive by Alli, Monaco take the lead again 10s after the restart from a great cross by Sidibe.

Spurs.
G'wan Monaco, condemn those chumps to the freezing regions at the outer edges of Europe on Thursday nights.

I really appreciate Spurs. Compared to other teams we're really blessed with our rivals being complete fucking clowns

Nine goals from ten shots in 57 minutes in Dortmund now. Two players for Dortmund and one for Legia on a hat trick

Lloris just produced one of the best saves I have ever seen. Ridiculous how he even got it.

The Dortmund game is 7-4 now

10man Sporting just scored a late equaliser too, as things stand Madrid will finish 2nd.

Spurs are out of the UCL Have to say they deserved it. They were only in it due to Lloris alone who produced some wonder saves in the Leverkusen match. Even the CSKA win was lucky win Son late goal.

Madrid and Juventus both won so they are finishing top at the moment. We need a win tomorrow.

When it comes to those two it doesn't matter as Dortmund and Sevilla (no chumps) are in the same group. Really the only worry about going 2nd is the additional chance of meeting Barca.

Severe frost and icy wind did not prevent our fans to fill the "Olympus-2" tonight. Already an hour before the match in the stands began to appear first audience, which warmed to rhythmic music, rushing out of the speakers.

"Rostov" began cautiously, "Bavaria" held positional attacks and keep our defense on their toes, but in the 9th minute through almost opened it was our team. Erokhin flipped out-of-gate Ulrayha but Bernat knocked the ball with ribbons gate.

Unfortunately, it missed the first yellow and blue. Costa performance shot under the crossbar - 0: 1.

Having played "Rostov" in the 44th minute. Poloz made the transfer to move Azmun, and our striker burst into the penalty area, beat Boateng and struck from close range Ulrayha.

Immediately after the break, yellow-blue went ahead. Noboa won a penalty, and Poloz surely realized it - 2: 1! Unfortunately, the advantage of "Rostov" melted almost immediately. Ribery put on Sanshesha and young Portuguese equalized powerful shot.

But this evening our boys were destined to make history! Noboa standards Master struck free kick just in the corner, and the "Olymp-2" nearly collapsed after the cry of our fans - 3: 2!

In the remainder of the "Bavaria" has increased pressure, but the owners coped! "Rostov" won a victory that will go down in the history of our club!

Good ol Russian winter. 

That Bayern lineup is mostly fringe players.

Not true.

Even if it were, it was still a few levels ahead of Rostov in terms of individual player quality

Besiktas who would've gone top (in a group with Benfica and Napoli no less) with a win tonight are 4-0 and a man down at last placed Kiev. Besiktas's goalie in tears at HT and the poor bloke is well within his rights to feel aggrieved as the sending off was an absolute joke of a decision

Just saw that, referee should be investigated. It wasn't even a foul, let alone a pen + red card. Thought the red card rule is already gone?

Yeah pretty sure it's gone meaning he fucked them over like three or four times in that one minute.

Highlights of last night here for anyone interested:

Still can't believe how badly the ref fucked Besiktas there.

It was a foul on Beck, the contact came outside of the box and as was mentioned even if he can claim poor judgment for the penalty giving a red card is in no way or scenario a possibility. Then he sends off Aboubakar for kicking the ball away, this guy should never ref another game imo. Thank God he's Scottish and not English because you just know he'd fuck us over a couple times per season

I'd be interested to know if the betting companies registered some unusual activity before the game yesterday. Things like this generally don't happen without someone profiting massively from it.
