Looking like 3 out of 6 English teams left next round at best, more likely 2 I would think (Arsenal and the RS).

Shit for the coefficient, but better for football overall IMO.

Chelsea played ok, they had keeper howler toward the end and then capitulated. Some of PSG finishing was just ridiculous though, apparently they had an XG of <1 and scored 5.

I kinda wonder if Newcastle could do it.

They're not a better team than Barca, but with that Barca high line they should really be able to get in behind a bit. It's whether they can keep the score down at the other end.

I really struggle with him. He just hams up everything, is over dramatic about the smallest things. I don't mind passion, I do hate fakeness for dramatic effect.

Him an Fletcher together are almost intolerable. I often use the Firestick to watch American coverage, which is much better than Sky and TNT, if these two are on. They have lesser known pundits and familiar commentators (English) who are far more focused on actually analysing the game over one line soundbites. That is mainly on Fletcher though, who is one of the worst commentators from my near 40 years watching football IMO.

Yeah McCoist was great with John Champion (I think?) but with 'Fletch' it's just 90 minutes of relentless nonsense

Nine teams in Europe, only one of them can muster a win

Good to see all the riches makes this European stuff piss easy

Just want Forest out as soon as. Can handle them staying up (at Spurs expense) but don't want them scoffing up a EL trophy.

Darren Fletcher's a Forest fan as well, so hopefully that one really hurt.

I know they have a small squad but Glasner is doing a pretty good job of making a mess of Europe.

They've got 38 points they're not going down. He's not going to be there next season. Fuck the league off and throw everything into winning the Conference League and going out on a high.
