The 20th worst team in the PL could easily reach the last 32 of the CL.
Bodo / Glimt 1-0 Dortmund letting the side down.
....46 goals across 9 games in the CL surely must be a record.
Yes. We really ought to be cheering on all the English teams!!!!!
Just shows that there is no jeopardy in the bloated group stage
Yep, was only in jest.
...indeed....cut all jeopardy out of football I say....both on the pitch and off.....chaos theory for all.
Sorry but the current format is 100x better than pointless group stages of PSG beating Gibralter.
I’m going to need some serious recalibration when we’re in Europe. That should not be a penalty in any competition.
Apologies to the Yellow Submarine as left them off. A 5
Chmpions League week for Spanish Clubs:I think it was deffo at the "soft" end, but it probably was.
Found myself cheering on Man City last night- always support English versus the foreign teams- then felt very conflicted! What a mess.
Suspect and average of 4.33 goals (78/18) per game is still pretty good going in a longer historical Champions League context.
Yeah - couple of great ties to look forward to. Citeh v PSG was epic last night - more of the same please!Yeah but next week Bayern v Arsenal and PSG v Barca will be great .
And there is jeopardy , 8 teams will go out
Two middle eastern state owned teams playing each other
Had to switch the game as their stadium holds 2400 - for context that is smaller than 45 out of the 48 clubs at National League North and South....Had never heard of the team Sunderland are playing tonight so did a quick search on Google.
What an incredible away trip that looks like
.... perhaps their priority is winning the PL this season.Brighton make eight changes tonight for their conference league tie against kaunas wildgirls.
Elite competition?
Be honest. We’ll all be doing the same when we get there!
Indeed. The shock transfer of Clare Balding is so far paying off - He is actually playing / contributing / assisting and scoring. Bravo.
Spain look strong but Brighton must be favourites for the ECL, Arsenal will reach latter stage of UCL and at least one of our EL participants will go deep so I'd be very surprised if England dont finish top 2After Match Week 2, England top of the UEFA Country Coefficient table that determines which two countries get an extra place in the 2027/28 Champions League, based on performance of Clubs in European competitions this season.
