Now that two Premier League clubs have met, it has been years since I've seen some interest for the Europa League out here.

Great result for all the Liverpool haters. *mu ha ha ha*

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Top. Even the occasional Liverpool fans are gloating

 

[Night Prowler]

Foro always supports the underdogs

In other news, Rafa Benitez takes over at Newcastle. Imagine starting the season coaching Ramos, Kroos and Ronaldo and finishing the season coaching Dummett, Shelvey and Townsend

 

[Perun]

Let's hope Hertha will win tonight, secure third spot and most importantly, humiliate Schalke.

Apparently Diego Costa has never been sent off when playing for Chelsea.

Proof that intimidating the referees works

Edit: until today

 

[Black Wizard]

One of the BBC commentators brought up that stat. The commentator's curse.

A spectator died in the stadium during the Dortmund game today. The news broke during the game, and the entire stadium fell silent. In the end, everyone sang 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Fair play to the Dortmund crowd.

On a side note, wonder how often that happens - after all, there are thousands of games around the world every day, and heart attacks etc. are more likely to happen when emotions are running high - as they often do at football matches.

I've attended a total of 8 total matches in my lifetime (last being in 2007) and in almost all of them I saw someone being carried to a hospital with an ambulance.

Anyone heard Stan Kroenke (Arsenal majority shareholder)'s remarks lately? The guy flat out came out and said "I'm not interested in winning." Well I'll be damned.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Tonight, the fat Spanish waiter just got served After less than half a game, he's already received his first "sacked in the morning" chant.

 

[Night Prowler]

Hope Newcastle gets relegated and Sunderland survives. Big Sam > Fat Spanish Waiter.

Norwich and Aston Villa are a lock for relegation IMO.

 

[The Flash]

In all fairness though, they weren't going up against some random team.

 

[Brigantium]

Hope Newcastle gets relegated and Sunderland survives. Big Sam > Fat Spanish Waiter.

PM me your address for the cheque.

 

[The Flash]

Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful. Fuck these guys. I hope PSV gets ripped to shreds by Atletico tonight.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Wankers.

Their team is putting up a good fight, though. Entertaining first half.

 

[Night Prowler]

Kompany and Otamendi both injured in the 1st half against Dynamo Kyiv.

Oh no. Poor sheikh Mansour.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Both PSV and Atletico with blatant dives within a minute. The ref fails to book either player, yet gets lauded by the commentator for not giving a free kick in either situation ... so that's what we've come to. Not getting the free kick is considered punishment enough ...
