Post Match UCL Qarabag (H) 6-0 Weds January 28th 20:00

it has to be said that qarabag were absolutely shite but that was a nice confidence inducing victory.

what’s going on with frimpongs hamstrings though? and did slot & co really have to field such a strong side tonight?
 
Personally I thought it a brilliant piece of refereeing with VAR playing a blinder.
Well yeah there's that flip side that its Real. Its a grey area. But if a keeper isnt being chased (which he wasn't) or impeded (he wasn't) then it's not unsportmanlike.

Think it’s about control of ball. Until he kicks it or it hits the ground it’s in the goalies control
 
Nah. That's a goal. He didnt impede the goal keeper.
That’s outside the spirit of the game. You can’t always be waiting for the keeper to drop and kick it to hope to nick the ball first. That’s one of the few unwritten rules of the game which still exists.
 
Carrier bag looked like they might be a handful early on. They seemed to go from a Jimmy Saville threat level to Timmy Mallet in the space of half an hour.
Overall, they were poor. At times, we helped them, Macca was bypassed about 4 or 5 times in midfield by that Montiel. But, cutting edge, shite.
 
By the way, the commentators were talking about how, although they were losing 5-0, how impressed they had been by how our opposition were playing with the ball. They were quick to mention how they'd done so well at times earlier in the competition, and were contextualizing how significant it is for them to be here.

It was condescending FA cup Cinderella stuff, it was totally well placed, and it's the fucking champions league.

And that team, that we just watched, is still in the competition, in 22nd place.

I thought it was a joke spurs went through them to win the most watered down Europa to ever have existed.

More, and worse. The mantra of football.
 
Straight to round 16 avoid the play offs 2 games less hope we have a favourable draw not like last year against PSG .

Not so sure that's a good thing. Excepting tonight, our best performances and results have been against top teams. I would not take anyone lightly.
 
That songs been ruined for me now because my dad's a cheesy bastard at heart and wanted the kop choir version of that on as we all walked out.

It's too on the nose.
Ah yeah. When one of my best friends died at 19 his parents played that and pre kickoff was a challenge for a while. I feel you

The Gerry version was the last song at my Everton season ticket holding father in law's funeral last week, I expected him to wake up and start screaming.
