@Nalis I can't look at Eddie Howe now without thinking of that South Park mouth comment

Ha yeah its very difficult to unsee isnt it?

Will never get bored of seeing Newcastle lose. Glad they're out, bottom of the group.

 

Though the bias in the media is too much. Man Utd are an embarrassment but Newcastle had "tired legs".

[BKLFox]

Funny how 'big club' fans were bitching about how Leicester were going to effect the Premier lges UEFA coefficiency when we were in the Champions lge / Europe, yet since, these clubs have performed pretty poorly & this years coefficient rating means more than usual due to the expansion of the champions league group stages next year.
Currently Germany & Italy will get an addition Champions Lge slot & the Premier Lge will miss out on that 5th place team joining which will then have a knock-on to the hope that 8th place would get the EConf position.

this had me chuckling, completely accurate too

Anyone who fancies a laugh but at the same time would quite like to feel horrendously sick then whack the Football Daily podcast on.

 

Some of the opinions and comments on the SaudiCastle exit 😂🤢

All the big sides avoid each other in the round of 16. Wow! So surprising!

You've heard of seeding yeah? 

 

And despite that, Inter vs Atleti and Napoli vs Barca? 

 

Let's be honest, what you actually mean is Man City got a favourable draw. 

 

Some people just see a conspiracy everywhere. Looks like a pretty normal draw to me.

Kane should seriously consider a transfer move to us. 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Kane ghosting again when the chips are down? I am shocked!

Touch on the ball, not sure how they've missed that.

I guess he went through the player after getting the ball in their eyes .

This must be the most boring, especially regarding goals, round of 16 in recent years or even the last 20 years. 

[Tuna]

What a way to win it!

Thanks porto and thank you bookies for making them 5/1 at home.

Insane really. You would expect a home win in a game like this to happen more than just once in 6 attempts, so long term profitable

It doesn't make sense. I would understand a 3/1 based on Arsenal's recent form but a 5/1 at home for an experienced team like Porto is bonkers. Despite the very late goal this has surely cost a lot of money to the bookies. The night must have been a disaster for them because big gamblers have surely taken advantage of the trio, Napoli game was nailed as a draw, 5/1 Porto is a gift and they closed their bet with Liverpool. That's easy money for the big players of betting.

Yep had a double take myself and then placed the bet.

[Fear Of The Fox]

Great game at Madrid. Leipzig the better team tonight, Vinicious should have had a red card in 2 incidents and ofc he scored. Wouldn't rule out a 2nd Leipzig goal as it stands. 

[weller54]

Cmon Roma!!!
