Can anyone talk me out of watching Millwall v Ipswich for one of tonight's games?

If you think of it as watching two absolutely new teams called Ipswall v Millwich you might enjoy it more with no history involved.

I've seen goals. That's gotta count.

Lazio winning 1-0. Which is a bit unexpected.

Dunno what Munich are moaning about.

Vile challenge for the pen and red.

Completely agree

Immoblle always sounds (to me) like a flat pack wardrobe. Or somebody who's not very quick. Or a bolt hole in Norman's
Bay.

The first penalty shoot out in the Champions League since 2016 feels like a remarkable stat.

They earn an extra coefficient point for winning the game (not the tie) in 120 minutes.

I'm not an Arsenal fan and I'm shitting myself.

Beat me to it

So they get game winning points and qualification points

Napoli went out tonight as well.

Quite enjoyed that. Nothing better than a penalty shoot out if you are a neutral.

Bit confused. What are the rules on keeper movements on penalties ? Raya clearly comes forward before the final penalty is taken.

We must be looking good now? We’re as good as out but Liverpool are through and you’d fancy Villa and West Ham at home?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

So a Madrid win tomorrow coupled with Brighton/Villa/West Ham not flapping would put England back into a good position.

Arsenal's quarter final will be midweek following their Saturday evening game at the Amex so hopefully there may be some form of distraction there

Foot has to be touching the line at point of kick of the ball. Raya was indeed only just off his line as the back foot was in the air when their bloke kicked it. But it was very tight and would have been ballsy to give it. Technically that last one should have been retaken I think.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but they play us just before their quarter final first leg!!!
