It won’t happen, but part of me wants Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea to win each of the euro competitions. Arsenal would have the biggest bragging rights, but it would be kinda cool to have all 3 as title holders at the same time (unless you’re a fan of any other club or league haha).

 

What is more likely is that Arsenal and Chelsea win their comps and we don’t lol

 

Alaba starting tonight again. Jesus Christ that’s elder abuse, Saka is going to have another field day.

fully aware Alaba is younger than me but he’s got the legs of a 70 year old

 

Spurs v United Europa final where the game is played in perpetuity and no one wins because both sides are so bad

 

Famous last words, but Son being out if a bit of a relief. He is still good for a moment or two, but he just hasn’t had it this year overall. Very inconsistent play. Curious how we setup without him but I’d like to see Odobert and Johnson as the wings. Or if Kulu is fit enough to start slide him in.

 

All this remontada business from Madrid the last 24 hours and they’re going to go into half time 2-0 down on the night

 

your lips to God’s ears

 

Can't see Real keeping a clean sheet at all, meaning they'll need to score at least 4. Nah, not happening.

 

I genuinely don't dare say anything. I'm willing to admit that I'm bricking it.

 

What’s going on with Ben White? I know he was injured earlier this year. Did he just never make his way back into the starting lineup?

 

Came back from surgery then got a knock in training that set him back.

Back today but on the bench, but I suspect we’d choose Timber over him in this game either way, as he’s a spectacularly good 1 vs 1 defender.

 

Yeah, that’s an intimidating atmosphere lol

 

Put Tel at LW honestly

 

Mbooby.

I know it was offside I just wanted to post that

 

Alaba is a fucking idiot getting booked after 3 minutes

 

Games gone.

 

Lmao he fucking tried a panenka and missed.

 

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HIT IT YOU CNT

 

That was a soft penalty but wtf is Saka doing?! Foot through that and take the pressure off.

 

The roof being on helps!

 

Definitely a penalty but an awful one in the end. We'll see if matters in the end.

 

Hypocritical, but this one is not a penalty for me and Rice needs to be careful about hounding the referee. There will be 5 penalties this game if it stays going like this. I see a clear difference between the 2 but man oh man, what has this ref started?

EDIT - this is also the one problem with VAR in its current format. The refs need to communicate with the stadium about what they're looking at, why things are taking so long etc. Seems they're checking offside, if it's a hold etc.

These commentators also missed it? I noticed that the player was offside before coming back and heading it on. But it wasn't a penalty anyway...

 

You can’t give one and not give the other, surely

 

That’s an absolute fucking joke to be quite honest.

 

Never a fucking penalty in a million years. Obvious dive.
