Finished 2-1 to Qarabag 

KÍ KLAKSVÍK HAVE DONE IT!

The Faroese club have beaten BK Häcken of Sweden and won two Champions League qualifying ties in the same season for the first time ever. They had beaten the Hungarian champions who currently are 4-0 up against shamrock Rovers in the previous round 

They are now the first team from the Faroe Islands in history to qualify for the group stages of a European competition.

Stuff of dreams.

Some good info on them on the sweeper pod. they are having a mad season. 

I quiet enjoy that pod most of the time. Its these type of stories that make me still like football.

That was one of the worst pens I've ever seen as well 

It was his poxy finish against Liverpool, where he should have made it 4-0, that allowed Liverpool to win the Champions League. That should have ended the tie

Because it's what the Irish barstooler EPL brigade (that don't give a toss about their national side) want. 

Polish referee was brilliant up to that point too.

That’s right! So much ability but frustrating as hell to watch.

Well said irishmufc

Tbf PSG deserved at least a point.

And yeah 2nd half was a backs to the wall job

No one was watching mate.

100%.

Qatar v Saudia Arabia > UAE v Energy Drink 

Apparently McCoist was very pro NUFC in the commentary on TNT?

Ex Sunderland too isn’t he

Yea that's right but had his testimonial v Newcastle. 

What a disaster of a signing

Big ask to get 3rd in the group at this stage 

Was good to see a great game where we are not all talking about the officials and var for once 

Unless United do something about Onana they won't be reaching any finals

Need to start with the manager first! Club is too big for him.

I wouldn't agree with you there. It's individuals are letting United down at the moment and they're a far greater issue than the manager.

Any idea who signed these individuals?

Dublin not ready for that, would run out of barstools 

You couldn’t listen to that gabsh*te Ferdinand on commentary 

I didnt hear him but I imagine he comes on trying to talk like a rapper.  That clown Daniel Sturridge on Sky talking like Scoopy Scoopy Dog Dog.  'I just want to bag man'.

Come on and talk proper English like what Paul Merson does.

Ah you see there in lies the greater problem of not supporting the manager. Several of those signed were not the first choice of the manager. Case and point Harry Kane. Ten Hag’s number one target and someone the Glazers and Man Utd hierarchy deemed to old to pursue.

So to answer your question, in many cases the one who signed the players is John Murtaugh along with Darren Fletcher. Who went and signed what they believed to be the equivalent of the player the manager wanted. 

The goalkeeper was Ten Hag’s first choice! He wasted £140m on first choice targets Antony and Mount! United have been grim to watch in the majority of the games this season, that’s on the manager simple as that.

Out for a few weeks thankfully.

Missing Shaw, Martinez and Casemiro for the majority of the season (Casemiro been off form when played) has meant that when ETH has attempted to play Mount, it has left him brutally exposed  and as a result has looked pretty poor. 

McTominay has been playing the role instead and has been better than Mount, added to the fact Mount has also been injured for 50% of the time.

Rumours are he is going to he sold in Jan, but I think that's nonsense and will be given another chance at some point. I'm not that excited by him, but wouldn't write him off as a failure just yet.

Ten Hag in lol.

Robbie Savage is well named. 

Some power in that Man city goal.

When do they find out if 5th will be enough to get them into the CL next year?

And as if 1 Spurs player wasn't enough for them, they also signed Eric Dier. 

#spursy 

And they’ll probably still win the league 

Only if Kane gets injured. 

The two big clubs aren’t in it! Hardly surprising.

I'd say it's mainly because the games were kind of dead rubbers.

City and PSG won comfortably, as expected. Lazio actually pulled off a bit of a surprise.

Inter vs Atletico and Napoli vs Barcelona should be better games next week.

Forgot all about it until Monday. Pity Inter are playing Atletico Madrid and Napoli are playing Barca next week. Would've been better if it was Inter v Barca and Atletico Madrid v Napoli. Still two good games on paper and both Inter and Atletico would likely go through on merit. Still hard to call either game though. Reckon Porto v Arsenal will be tight enough as well while I could see PSV edging Dortmund on present form. Intriguing enough stuff this year apart from Man City and Real Madrid continuing to steamroll every team they play.

Uphill task in the league now!

He's the great mystery in football. 

You always see him near top of Serie A goalscorer charts yet anytime I've ever seen him play he's woeful 

Nothing upfront 

That would sum him up alright.

He's up there with Ciro Immobile as the great mystery seems to bang in the goals but never for television. 

 from the quarters on 

Teams are evenly matched and any of them could win it. 

The City team of last year would win it but they aren’t playing as well

Perfect draw would be:

Bayern v Dortmund 

City v Arsenal

Barca v PSG

Manchester City v Real Madrid

PSG v Barcelona

Atletico Madrid v Borussia Dortmund

I actually think it's a great draw for Arsenal at this stage. City versus Real over two legs as well is a great contest. 

I'd give Arsenal a slight edge, but they might be distracted by a potential title run-in.

City vs Real is pretty even. City as slight favourites because of Real's injuries.

I'd fancy PSG purely because of Mbappé.

Atletico should bully Dortmund overall.

It could be Simeone's time. 

The poor bastard will probably end up losing another final vs Real.

Psg to get to the final and Enrique to drop Mbappe out of spite

Similar to last year with City, Real and Bayern on one side and Inter coming through to get to the final.

Leverkusen just about scraping past Qarabag would suggest they've a long way to go yet to be in that category 

...only to end up bottling the final. #spursy 

I suggest that you watch that game. 

They created 10 big chances and missed 7 of them. 71% possession and 33 shots.

And they are still unbeaten this season. 37 games played. 32 wins. Just 5 draws.

It's been a big enough sample size to consider them one of the best teams in Europe right now.

It'll likely fizzle out next season like it did for Napoli after losing Spalleti and Kim. Alonso and a few of the players will likely leave in the summer.
