Did this happen too? I used to drink far too much.

I seem to remember I was pretty good at it. However, I was about 15 pints in, so reality might have been somewhat different. I don't remember him being that much better than us. We were miles better than his mates though. And to be fair, he had played 90 mins for Liverpool that day.

I played Three and In using a flattened Coke can with Robbie Fowler outside the Moat House at god knows what time in the morning once. Was one of those wake up in the morning and think, "did that really happen?" moments.

I’d gladly swap you for a bin bag.

Yeah, we’re not signing anyone.

TBF, one of our goals was a oggy and Diaz's finish was rather good.

I thought the point of xG was to show how likely, on average, goals would be scored from a certain position. As such, the notion that some players are better than others at finishing, or there's an R in the month or whatever is irrelevant. It's misused and misunderstood as being how likely a team was or is to score. That's not what it is. It's just a total, or a stat of a particular chance showing on average how many goals have been scored within the dataset used, from what are deemed by the algorithm as similar chances. It's more useful as a measure of how good teams or players are, or have been in a game at finishing than anything else.

Yeah, I had a good laugh at that. A few moments later when they showed the replay of them hitting the bar he said "they could have scored 2 or 3 there".

K9 treated like a dog.

Yeah, one of the kids is gonna have to play some lb and Quansah is gonna have to play more.

Varanne is a knock-kneed sick note.

I’ve watched Andre a few times now and really don’t get the fuss. He’s short and one paced. Nothing like his highlight reels.

Don’t forget we get a bye in the next round, we go straight into the round of 16, whilst the group runner ups play the cl dropouts. i don’t know if they draw the R16 at the same time? I imagine they do, if so we get to watch a match to see who we get.

Palinha and Robinson from Fulham please.

He doesn’t like yellow cards for time-wasting. says it all really.

Has to work for both parties. You’d think at his age, we would be offering a reduced contract and that his agent would be hawking him around in the hope of one last big payday and some leverage if he decided to stay. so you’d think if he signs a new contract it will be for less money than it would have been a week ago.

Yeah, as much as the Champions League is where it's at for Euro competition, I love a Thursday night game. Especially when I'm busy on a Saturday. This is my surrogate Friday night.

And was pivotal in the Gerrard goal vs Olympiacos in 2005.

Does anyone know any good bars in Glasgow that’ll be showing the match?

That’s a s*** load more likely than me wearing my lucky pants or not shaving so that pretty much ruins my match day rituals.

It comes from the same place as the pushback against spending rules by smaller clubs. They all want the chance to do what city have done and Newcastle are doing. No one cares about fairness or process, it’s just winning, or seeing a team you don’t like losing. thats why football is so attractive to people who want to break rules and why no one really cares about the refs unless it’s your team. It’s also why most people think you’re mad if you think Ferguson was up to no good. theres no solidarity between football fans.

Yeah, if you watch Gabriel, he stoops in order to try to flick the ball back over his head and as raises he head and arches his back, both of Joelinton's hands stop him from doing this. It's a clear, stonewall foul. That is unless you think he should be penalised for not trying to head it somewhere else, or not understanding, like Gary Neville, what Gabriel was trying to do. It was also such an easy out-ball for the VAR, considering the other aspects that it's suspicious that they've not given it.

Yep. TBH, I'm more annoyed about the goal that we conceded. Yeah, that was a major problem, Gomez had no-one to give it to, so he kept turning back inside which basically nullified our left sided attack and meant they could double up on Salah.

Waste of time watching that.
