what the hell happened here? The emirates Cup?

 

Arsenal won 1 game & won the tournament with 9 points. Sevilla won both of their games & were 2nd on 9 points. Benfica lost both of theirs & got 2 points

You get an extra point per goal scored for some strange reason

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

IT'S GOOD TO BE ALIVE

[Nathan Explosion]

all hail toady!

You're as thick as Macca, as evidenced by your lack of recollection that I helped him once years ago and let him run with it from then

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Toady lasted about as long as Scaramucci

There's something of Arsene Wenger about that rule. Something quite Arsenal, in a points-for-artistic-merit style.

[Stanley Leisure]

I miss Toady. I had designs on starting this thread and reinstating him and now Macca's gone and f*cked it up for me.

I think one of the unofficial rules of that tournament is that, regardless of the results, Arsenal will win the trophy!

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Apparently Man C have spent more on defence this summer than 47 countries in the world

you said you helped him mess it up a few times

 

more importantly though, who's the big toady hater?

John Terry is still a knob then - https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/aug/01/john-terry-promotion-with-aston-villa-would-match-my-chelsea-honours

He stated that he went to Villa because he couldn't face playing against Chelsea... So I assume he's not expecting them to gain promotion... Unless he is just staying one season

 

Hope Villa draw Chelsea in a cup

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Hope he breaks his neck 10 mins into his 1st game

[RP]

26 minutes in

[Maldini]

I bet he asks not to be involved if they play Chelsea

[NeilJ]

Oh good, the England band have shown up at the women's semi

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

The Ev 1-0 up on agg, away in the 2L. 0-0 right now 53rd min.

 

Hilarious if they spunk this

What does everyone think of this from the Dutch super league?

 

Personally I don't mind it, the right decision was made in the end and I think the wait added to the drama

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

no problem with that. Imagine the anger if it's 1-1 & you're watching Dutch MoTD knowing it should be 1-0 with you about to take a pen.

 

What's worse is the goalkeeping

yep, provided the ref and VAR make the right decision then that's fine.

[drdooom]

Wouldn't it be better to have a video ref out of view? There's enough pressure on the ref anyway without having them stand there with everyone watching them when they HAVE to make the right call because they've got video of it.

[Barnesy_10]

Hahaha Courtois' penalty against Arsenal is hilarious

 

Morata misses his penalty too hahah

 

f*** knows what the thinking was there to let Courtois take the second penalty

 

It was the new ABBA penalty shootout format too
