I wonder what will go wrong this time.

They drew United against Villarreal which can't happen then left the United ball out of the pot until the end so United could only get PSG.Originally Posted by Boydy
Liverpool were also included as a potential opponent for "Atleti".
Benfica will like that.
Real Madrid will be SEETHING.
Real going from Benfica to PSG is delightful after their seethe.
Amazing
Abramovich definitely paid Arshavin to pick Lille twice.
Apparently they've fucked it again, UEFA said Liverpool can't play Villarreal...
It's coming from Michael Owen so probably bollocks.
Are they not playing Inter Milan?
They are but in the draw before they said Liverpool can't be drawn against Villarreal so they have to play Juventus.
Michael Owen was wrong though (surprise) because other options in the draw meant Villarreal had to play Juventus.
Paris St-Germain v Real Madrid
Karma dusting itself off and going after Franco FC. You love to see it.
Some filthy ties in the Europa league.
Inter couldn't play Juventus or Real so they had to be drawn against Liverpool. And then Villareal couldn't be drawn against Real so they had to play Juventus.
United appear to be next on the covid merry go round. Hopefully Liverpool time their spike of infections to coincide with the Afcon.
I'd be going ham on the Christmas parties were I running Liverpool.
Went out after the draw and missed all of this redraw stuff.
Can we do another one and have Salzburg back?
I prefer this one as Madrid getting PSG is more lol. Bayern the actual winners, well, other than Chelsea and the warm Lille ball.
Oof. Feel free to share anymore pre game tips if you can...In similar news, someone messaged me that Indonesia were going to beat Lao 5-1 about 20 minutes before kick off.
Unfortunately, I read the message 1hr after the game. It finished 5-1
Aubameyang stripped of captaincy and not playing West Ham.
About half of the clubs in the Premier League appear to have a covid outbreak at the moment. Can't be long before crowds are gone.
Crowds make no difference to anything. It's just player unavailability.
It's probably a superspreading nightclub sloot they've been passing around.
I know, but there's a lot of talk about SAFETY and how it's BIGGER THAN FOOTBALL. I reckon we might get a knee jerk reaction in the next week or two.
Surely football itself won't vote crowds out. Even for the big boys, there's too much money in it. For the less than big boys, it's life or death.
I can see our favourite high pressing managers starting up their annual winter break chat with renewed vigour.
They seem to have had a captain issue for many years now. It will be interesting to see the average time for the Arsenal armband compared to other clubs. It sounds like it would be really short.
Anyone but xhaka.
Give it to Andre Santos.
Leeds’ start here
This could be 8 or 9 if City really wanted to.
If (when?) City get Haaland, everyone else might as well give up.
I'm a twit
My takeaways at half time at the Norwich game:
Covid security is non-existent.
Norwich are rubbish (which puts into even greater perspective how bad United were at the weekend). They have the same issue the teams I played for as a kid did which is everyone runs away from the person with the ball.
Max Aarons is way too good to be playing at this level of club.
Brandon Williams looks about as self-assured as one of the Fritzl kids any time he gets the ball; he's clearly not United quality but you'd at least hope coming through that level of academy he'd have a bit more about him.
I said ten after the first goal.Leeds’ start here
This could be 8 or 9 if City really wanted to.
7 (seven). A few more in the last 10 mins would be funny.
We're sat just down from a lad who clearly fancied himself as a manager.
The highlight was "I don't understand why he doesn't just being them in and tell them all to FUCKING PLAY BETTER"
I mean Dean Smith shouldn't rule that out until he's tried it.
I can get free tickets to the Arsenal and dont for the specific reason of having to listen to those exact people.
OGB got three years out of it...
Nah, he'd have ASKED them to and finished with "or not, y'know, whatever makes you happy, lads!"
Fair point.
I'd go just TO listen to them.
AFCON looks like it may be getting shelved indefinitely.
What on earth is the FIFA Arab Cup?
Is that the one where they only pick domestic-based players?
Another political land-grab. The way things are going in the FIFA-UEFA wars, there'll probably a UEFA White Man Shield by next year.
Mark Noble might finally get his chance.
Tony Hibbert with the armband.
Gammons quaking in their boots that other confederations might want to increase competitive match-time for their teams to better prepare themselves for the WC.
I'd be willing to bet that no non-European side (including South America) wins the World Cup this century.
Obviously you'll have to wait a while for payout.
