In more important news, not only were Olympiacos drawn against Juventus, Barca and Sporting, but they're also losing 3-0 at home to Sporting, in what is the only winnable game they'll have.

Celtic fans
They're going to get fucked. Up the Ra.
Jesus their pundits are even worse. Andrew 'Andy' Cole and John Barnes have almost just come to blows over whose side-projects give them the strongest claim to being the 'original Pogba'.
Anderlecht just missed a SITTER.
He's going to win us everything.
Oh shit, Messi just got rekt by this ref.
Rightfully so.
Juventus look mince without Bonucci.
I'd missed recent FM hero Bentancur signing for them, he actually looks like a decent player.
That's shocking from Buffon.
The whole defence is nervy as hell.
Fellaini has been fantastic tonight.
Rashford
Really nice first time finish.
Preston
Qarabag's title hopes taking a hit here.

Some serious, impressive fuckwittery there from Pardo in the Olympiakos game. He's scored both goals to bring them from 3-0 to 3-2 down then spent the rest of the time available celebrating while everyone else was trying to get on with it.
Five 3+ goal margins in the CL tonight. Group stage is a total two stream waste of time except for the 1-2 balanced groups that come out every year due to floaters in pot 4.
He was incredibly passionate though.
I was just thinking exactly this.
Does it really stop at the group stage?
Should just make it all knock-out.
Ah no, nobody wants to see those scumbags back up.
Top of the league.
Back in the real world (and because I have them in my otherwise quite promising league winners acca for the year), Aston Villa seem to have a problem dating back several years and several managers whereby they simply do not score goals ever. It must be some kind of record how few they've scored, especially at home, over a prolonged period of time.
Particularly as they seem to have spent their entire budget every year on players who, before joining, were successful at scoring goals.
I've just looked it up, they've scored 283 goals in their last 281 league games. That goes back seven complete seasons and the start of this one.
The season before that run started (09/10) was also the last time they scored 50 league goals in a season.
Four defeats in a row, to Leeds, Barnsley, Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest. Three at home, and only one late consolation goal scored by none other than Jack Roswell.
The Championship
Was at Parkhead tonight. PSG have some quite good footballers. I don't mean to sound like a hipster considering who else was on the pitch but Rabiot, fucking hell.
Some monstrous bellend ran onto on the pitch and tried to kick Mbappe, only to get sidestepped and land on his face. Kieran Tierney didn't have a great deal more luck than that over ninety minutes.
Olivier Ntcham and Patrick Roberts were Celtic's best by a large margin. Funny, that. Generally I think tonight's performance represented pretty much the peak of what you could possibly get from those 11 players.
24-4 to the favourites over the 8 games, which included 3 away favourites.
While I understand the sentiment, you can't exactly just have an 8 team competition. Look at the budgets between these groups.
What do the percentages mean?
Percentage of their opponent from this matchday's budget, by the looks of it.
I would have knockouts on the way to a smaller, post-Christmas group stage personally.
I saw a tweet claiming that PSG's budget/wage bill is to Celtic what Celtic are to the average Scottish team, which is pretty lol. Of course, if there was a British league...
Going to be at Wembley for Spurs tonight. I bought a ticket last minute from Stubhub, which cost me 80 instead of 40 and I've just checked and I don't think it's physically possible for me to be further from the pitch than I am. Still, I hope I can see some white specks score a goal or two. Fuck no alcohol in the stands / no prolonged standing though, English stadium culture is the worst in the world from what I've seen.
Sounds like you're in similar seats to the first NFL Wembley game I went to, where we were right at the top and right at the back. The only upside (other than the fact that it was pissing down with rain and we were well out of that) is there was a little concrete shelf between us and the wall so we could buy beers six at a time and perch them on that rather than keep traipsing up and down the near-vertical steps.
They let you bring beers in then? Didn't at Craven Cottage
It's banned at all football grounds (but not other sports). Football fans can't be trusted.
I think at Champions League you can as the whole 'Drinking within view of the pitch' rule is a Premier League regulation? And the CL is sponsored by a beer company.
Not sure though, I've never been.
When I went to Wembley in 2013 to watch some rugby I was literally on the front row, and it was the shittest view imaginable. I must have watched most of it on the big screen.
At Champions League you can't even buy alcohol at all anywhere in the stadium, as far as I remember from my last few visits to Chelsea.
Wembley is an awful venue. You'll get a good tactical insight from up there but that's about it.
Online it says you're only allowed to drink it inside the "restaurants"? Are the little pie stands classified as restaurants? Do I have to force myself inside one to have a drink?
On each level there's a massive concourse that runs all the way round and from memory the space is divided among the various food/drink outlets that are there, with some seating areas behind, so you basically need to be on the concourse and/or surrounds.
I have a feeling though that UEFA has a no alcohol regulation at all its matches so you might be out of luck. Or it might be Heineken only which for a Tottenham game might mean no beer, as their official beer is Carlsberg.
This is quite good:

Would they sing that about a white player etc.
Of course not. Please don't ban me.
Where are your seats, Mokkers?
I'm going to be in block 501 row 5 for the NFL game next week.
How many white players have that big a cock?
533 row 9. 501 looks pretty good, at least you won't be watching half the field through binoculars
Tottenham U18 are giving Dortmund a good hammering. 4-0 after 60 minutes.
I can confirm that there will be no alcohol served at the stadium during European games. It's the same everywhere though. Only exception might be if you're sponsored by Carlsberg.
Fuck. Gonna down a bottle of wine on the tube and then get blackout at some pubs outside in that case.
