At least against Barca we had chances to score, tested the keeper.
We got played off the park tonight and at OT, credit to them they are brilliant.
Great club and great vocal fans.
Agree. I have a new favourite La Liga team.
They showed their class tonight, the entire club. On the pitch and off.
Let's be happy. We have to look up to Bilbao as well now?
their ground is class, their kit is class, their team is class, their manager is class and their fans are class.
We got outplayed by Basel too. Is that acceptable?

Go and jump off a bridge and do everybody a favour.
Jesus Christ man. These things happen. We were beaten by a great team over two legs.
I was angrier when the dross that is Basle beat us. At least Bilbao are absolute class.
if i say no will you go and 'support' someone else? please?
I can see SLM heading for a ban soon, always knew he wasn't a United fan but a pretend fan internet troll.

I'm not jumping on the 'Bilbao are great' bandwagon. We got humiliated by Benfica, Ajax and Basel too.

There's no reason for me to be banned. I'm angry my team lost, you're happy. I haven't insulted anybody
Basques are cool people. We should give them a country.

We missed about 30 chances over the 2 games against them 10 even someone like linekar in his age could have scored.

Don't you even think for one second that I'm happy with how we played over the two legs against this side and the manor in which we lost tonight.
I'm just giving Athletic the credit they bloody well deserve for giving one of the best performances I've seen against my team tonight.
I know where we went wrong tonight, where we've gone wrong in Europe this season, and that our team, mainly our midfield needs investment in the summer if we're going to step it up a level and challenge the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid and the other technically superior sides like we faced tonight, if we're going to be successful in Europe in the future. I also know that this season in Europe, has been a harsh but a valuable lesson to our youngsters and they would've learned a lot from our European campaign in both the Champions League and Europa League this season. We'll bounce back from the disappointment in Europe this season, we normally do.
Now is that something along the lines of what you wanted to hear my South London friend?

We didn't though did we? We drew twice against Benfica. Did we play well? Not at all. But we didn't get humiliated.
Against Basel we weren't humiliated. We were leading the home game 2-0 and in total control. We just got very complacent. The away game we had 20 odd goal attempts but couldn't score.
As for our Europa games.....our manager, players and fans haven't embraced it. Bilbao looked like it was the biggest game in their recent history. For us it wasn't even biggest game of the week. And it showed.

I stopped counting when Athletic reached 700.
We missed as many chances as bilbao did against us.

No. Just stop it, you're embarrassing yourself.
if the bbc said we should have had 10 in the OT game by the 50th minute and we also create 3 chances in stoppage game scoring 1 in that game then it must have been.
We probably created more chances against basel then any team we have ever faced in the CL.
To the Spanish club fans, don't pay attention to Hafijur because he doesn't know what he's talking about and is just winding you up.
