That’s very rich coming from the guy who built his career and image on winding up his opponents. There’s about 90% of personality I respect and even admire in Mourinho and Guardiola but the remaining 10% are absolutely despicable.

I agree with you 67%.
(For Pep it’s actually like 24%, that cunt makes me irrationally angry)

Didn’t watch the game, only saw highlights and a few stupid images from it. Like Otamendi showing Vini his WC tattoo… really mature that. Do you want to see what Vini won and you didn’t?
I don’t know if anyone will be able to find out 100% what Prestianni said, but it was probably something bad.
All the rest is completely irrelevant to this isolated case, if it was Vini or someone else. We cannot go down the route of trying to calculate who started first, when it comes to his “relationship” with crowds (especially in Spain), etc. Some things are non negotiable.
Yes, he likes to provoke and overdramatize sometimes. I didn’t see anything wrong with the celebration and I also found it weird by Mourinho post-match with a cooler head trying to spin it in that way. Stupid yellow cards for celebrations, I’d just leave them as it is.
Benfica’s kid did a stupid thing, perhaps he regrets it now (he looked scared in those minutes when Vini went over to report it), he’ll probably get some punishment and that’s it in terms of this case. Mbappe putting pressure that he should not play CL was also a bit weird, but understandable in the heath of the moment, trying to protect his teammate.

Imo, a bit of an unfair comparison to make. Mourinho goes out of his way to hurt people, to be a total asshole. Guardiola is just a bit of an ass at times. I don’t really understand how one can compare the two as such.
Mourinho is quite often cruel. Never seen Guardiola be “cruel”, just passionate, argumentative, arrogant and sometimes as ass.
Mourinho was an excellent manager, but I don’t respect him as a human being. At the same time, I have no reason to say that I don’t respect Guardiola as a human being. He just “plays” for the enemy with all the annoying things that comes with that, including various fallouts, banter and spats (none of whom can be called cruel as far as I remember).
Cruelty is my personal bar. I accept all sorts of shit from opposing players and managers, as they accept shit from us. Part of the game. But cruelty is not and when Mourinho is often publically cruel, one wonders how awful to other human beings he might be off camera.

Gordon can do it on a cool wednesday night in Azerbaijan, they can probably play the U18s in the return leg.

Morinho comes across as a has been. The rest us about keeping the job.
Weather looks nice for tonight:
No snowfall and not particularly cold (not much wind either).
I will watch the game with interest. I have missed a fair few of these Glimt games previously and resorted to replays (I prioritise watching Liverpool, after all). I don’t want to miss this one, not against this opposition.

Yeah, I don’t like this start. This game has started very different from the City game and the Madrid game.
Edit: Opened up now, so better.
Second edit: Now, this looks very, very nice. Win or lose, this is fun football. Every attack now feels dangerous.
Lots of people around Serie A hoping to see Inter have to really focus on the second leg.

1-0, brilliant 
It’s rather insane what is happening and it seems like I am the only one on the forum talking about it. Sad, but if people want to miss the greatest football miracle in many decades (the Glimt Saga), then ok (but I cannot wrap my head around a neutral football fan watching any of the other games instead, as that makes absolutely no sense if you just know a little bit about football and actually like the sport)
It was a very lovely finish to be fair.

Very nice Inter chance. This game will be swingy as hell.
Very entertaining. 1-1. Unfortunate for Glimt though 
Hmm, VAR check. Ball hit several arms.
Goal stands, which imo is fair (I don’t like such hands rulings even if I want a team to win, though some ref’s would have had it as hands)
(not the best end to the half for Glimt, as they seem a bit stressed).
Clearest yellow I have seen for a while, lol. He pulled, pulled, pulled and never stopped pulling until the Glimt player just had to fall (and he really, really tried his bes to NOT fall) 
Funny.
15 min break.
Ath Madrid or Gala pretty much.

Does the artificial pitch give them some advantage I wonder…
Wow a third goal..

OMG !!!
3-1 ! (why is the body not clear, stupid program)
Sure it does, as they are used to playing on it.
But that is just one of many factors. I remind you that they beat Atlethico Madrid away. Which is something no one usually does.

But anyway, if we want to talk about conditions, I think the darkness and the cold weather is a bigger factor than the pitch (which is a very, very good artifical pitch, but of course still artificial).
Most teams who play against Bodø get used to the pitch and how the ball rolls slightly differently after the first half. And this is the second. Imo, pitch not very interesting as an excuse. They had the option to train there.
