Caption being checked by VAR: UEFA Leagues and Cups 2025-6

the ref in the spurs villareal game is giving himself a problem having booked 18 players in five first half minutes

is ch lge games on a thurs gonna be a regular thing going frwd or just this week?

Two incredible games today, neither of which involved Tottenham.

Eight goals in the second half of Juve-Dortmund.

Newcastle seem unable to sustain the madness with which they start these by games.

LOL Rashford, of course.

Haha. Rashford, Elanga, all good players if they'd only been given a chance at a big club before now.

I love how they're now giving more coverage to women's football, but it was still a shock to see man utd winning in europe, just for a moment before i realised "oh not that man utd"

Old Marcus is running riot.

Damn, he’s back.

Just needed an audience

Lennart Karl - 17 y/o proper regen wunderkind just scored a beaut against us.

just such a lazy fucking team, shameless lack of effort or interest in the basics

I know a season is not defined by a November performance, and lol Arsenal I know, but this Arsenal team are a different class tonight. Bayern have looked indestructible this season and we’ve made them look like chumps.

Declan Rice is honestly looking like the best midfielder in the world right now. He is everywhere, winning balls, chasing people down, dictating play, playing killer balls and of course, being a set piece specialist. I don’t know if we’ve had this good an all round midfielder since Vieira.

Slot out.

Liverpool 1 - 4 PSV

!

Seems crazy that Spurs were leading twice against PSG and still let in 5.

does it tho

having dodged the Maccabi Tel Aviv bullet, we now have seats at VP being ripped out and thrown around by uh Young Boys fans

this better not spoil my enjoyment of watching the Wolves in the flesh on Sunday

I feel somewhat for the Young Boys players, who did not sign up for literally any aspect of any of this and visibly just want to go home

ah no the fella off the bench didn't get the memo, but was also offside. No party for the inexplicable Swiss Violence Automatons

having dodged the Maccabi Tel Aviv bullet, we now have seats at VP being ripped out and thrown around by uh Young Boys fans

Talking of which...

Maccabi Tel Aviv 0 Lyon 6

carrying on from the pl thread...

sadly i think these games don't really tell you a lot. imo the bigger euro sides like real, and tonight inter, have some sort of institutional inability to disrespect another venerable big side, so they won't just rip into liverpool like prem teams have been doing all season. it's like the game must be sort of cosplayed as a serious and tight affair. i guess the format of the cl doesn't boost the urgency much either in this regard.

i'll fucking take it tho

Keown should be in a cage, not getting to commentate a second Arsenal game in four days

Do Aston Villa have an unsustainable reliance on lightly-caressed daisy-cutters, trundling low, low, inexorably to the right of the opposition goalkeeper's despairing dive?

huge "concentrating on the League" energy from City

You’re breaking my heart

Only tuned in for the half time whistle to go but Inter’s kit is HORRIBLE

Fuck it, abolish the Champions League, let EPL teams play each other in a new league - perhaps call it the English Premier League - and let everyone else enjoy themselves.

Trying to enjoy Benfica's win even tho it's Mourinho

Cracking 1st half between Monaco and PSG

Galatasaray 5 Juventus 2!

well, igor tudor had a good run.

Feel like you should be handing someone a resignation notice at the same time when you sub off your novice keeper 16 minutes in.

The good news is that they’ve managed to limit Atleti to four shots on target so far this half.

yeah not sure destroying a young player's confidence is the ideal move when the entire team is teetering on the edge

Just tuning in...whst was the idea there?

I thought that Osimhen disallowed goal shouldve stood. Maybe he thought Ibou had enough embarrassment for one day.

it absolutely should. by letter of the (bizarre) law the liverpool one should have stood as well apparently. it's a strange state of affairs, some terrible performances, could have lost by more, definitely still in the tie and may well win but the bigger picture is this team hasn't a hope of winning the cl.

Bayern look ludicrously good, even without Kane. At least Spurs aren’t alone in being embarrassed today.

Soft penalty for Arsenal. At least, this ref isnt having their corner shenanigans.

Fede Valverde had scored once in three years in the CL until today. City seem to have fallen apart.

third goal was a beaut

Got to love it.

Never mind that though, come on ye Superlaget!

Bodø/Glimt continuing to do well! (yes I had to c&p that)

EPL teams shipping goals left right and centre. Good to see.

Coefficient is going to take a battering.

The Glimt three up from the first leg.

if your lot calmly put PSG away I will allow you to restate it

We lost to them last season iirc but at least it’s not fucking Harry Kane, who would have inevitably scored 2 hat tricks to avenge Spurs’ relegation

Tyre of which would have been penalties he dived to win.

...three, not tyre ffs

Bayern look like a team full of basketball players, Kompany definitely has a type

really interesting tactical conundrum posed by this one, should I go to bed mad now or in three hours

pretty sure your boys can hold off shakhtar

so help me I will put my foot through ILX and send you the bill. do not try it

Putative England no 10 is a right handful tbf

have gone to the Bricklayers as usual on a Thursday and there's one screen not showing Palace so I've been treated to at least five minutes of replayed head trauma

looked away to an ILM thread and missed Villa's goal

good improvised celebration by watkins. give me more bandages. ahm a mummehhhhh

a big decision goes Villa's way? and it's the worst big decision we can ever get?

truly the greatest night of user biscuits' life this

Deforestation.

rayo vallecano heading to their first final in their entire history

xp there's a villa pun there too

hahahaha local elections not the only massacre tonight

sudden spike in Google searches for "how to get travel package refund from mob boss" in the East Mids

hopefully not enough time for Jadon Sancho to assist three opposition goals this time out

Emi Martinez? Injured? at this stage of the game? with Villa in possession? 😥

as predicted, I'll be going to bed bright red and screaming

Sigh

maybe they can afford to give their players hot showers!!! lfg rayooooooooooo

argh make it stop

ex-pros stop confidently predicting the manner of our victory ffs

make it stop

fuck!

yeah but emery

Freiburg seem like a cool little club.

it's a nice town to visit

signed up for HBO Max £4.99 to see the game

Signed up to the pub

i wouldnt advise winning tbh

it doesn't seem like beating a small co-op homegrown players antifascist team using predatory subprime/richest man in Egypt money would be particularly ethical tbh

Martinez injured? at this stage of the warmup? with Villa in wait this isn't funny

Cash shouldve got a red there

This is almost as exciting as last year's final so far

Oof. Some finish

Oof. And again

worldies worldies worldies

now would be a good time for us to cash in on Buendia. he often struggles to affect games and from a PSR point of view- I'm a fucking wank

the 5'7/Football Heaven protocols are very clear

I think John McGinn is my favourite non Arsenal player of the past couple years

there's a few very arsenal things about him alright

can't forgive Buendia for ruining that masterpiece

Well this was a thriller

My son Theo (11) did a "Freiburg, who are they?" in the Accrington Stanley voice, I'm sorry, my fault.

5th Europa League for Emery

I was 12 last time we won something, I thought I might cry but I mostly just feel unreal

grats to villa and all who sail in her apart from breaking us up twice a year i like the club v much

I look forward to our performance against City on Sunday eclipsing the disgrace Southampton have brought upon the English game by several orders of magnitude

southampton punished pretty brutally for deploying untrained idiots with prehistoric technology to no discernible positive effect
