    In terms of that group I reckon the match order is the most important thing. Worst case scenario is to get one of Milan or Porto away first, then A. Madrid at home I reckon. Best would be Porto (H), Milan (A) then a Madrid double header.
    Pretty much nailed the preferred option.

    I can't get used to Klopp without his spectacles. It's unnerving watching his press conferences.

    Isn’t it always so that the top seeds play each other on match days 3 and 4.

    Will Ange FC qualify from their group of death?

    It looks like a cracker of a group.

    Don't think so, but mind blown if so. Barcelona v Bayern week 1 says no, sadly.

    Watching the Dortmund game last night. It was 0-0 at half time and they won 3-2 with a last-minute Haaland goal. It should be mandatory at all stadiums. They have to have those nets that make "that" sound when the ball goes in.

    You guys being able to see the Official Bundesliga clip but I can't despite living within walking distance of Germany is just a perfect summary of why internet rights are so fucked.

    I can see it in the Netherlands. Should have joined the EU, m8.

    Banging finish from Haaland. Tiny angle to get it into

    Wow, what an incredible goal! That has to be one of the best finishes ever. Jesus, I'll never forget that one.

    More impressive than the finish was the save beforehand.

    Cedric having no idea if he should go with his head or his leg for the second goal so deciding to try both was brilliant.

    4 fullbacks in that Arsenal 'defence.' Arteta has been playing too much FIFA.

    Kolasinac both still being there and being about 7 years younger than I thought he was, are todays surprises.

    Him going from being bombed out to being in the starting line up today(not just on the bench) has amazed me. Arsenal are fucking awful there is nothing more to be said about them beyond that.

    Surely that's Arteta gone now?

    There is no plan. He's no discipline in his players. Things are getting worse, not better. And as a club, going from having Xhaka with one foot out the door, to a 3 year contract extension is madness.

    If you go in with both feet off the floor, you're going to get sent off.

    Time and time again, he lets his team down when he's supposed to be leader. It's a joke. He's an absolute embarrassment to Arsenal right now.

    It will be lol if they sack Arteta after this, I don't think they will.

    Not like they're getting relegated. Let him have a go in the easier games with an actual defence available.
