Liverpool threw away 2 leads (one of them 3-0) against Sevilla, they are very poor.

If we actually go for it I think we'll win quite comfortably. However, I imagine it will be a cagey affair with us scared to concede...eventually conceding. I predict one of the ties will be a dull draw.

A few weeks ago I bought a very nice ticket for the home leg of the Porto fixture. I can't wait to see the under 23s Vs Porto B. :lol:

We should migrate GRcade to Flarum. :toot:

Did anyone notice the ball pop up just before Ronaldo scored the spot kick? Haunted penalty spot!

I forgot the Arsenal match was an early kick off!

Ian Darke and Robbie Savage on commentary is a match made in hell though. :dread:

If Arsenal hold on to this three goal lead it'll be the first time they've won the first leg of a European knockout tie since 2011.

It's going to be weird going into the second leg of a European tie feeling confident. :lol:

Inside the Sporting Lisbon academy, where Ballon d'Or winners are made

Sporting have developed Cristiano Ronaldo, Luís Figo and eight of the 11 players who started for Portugal in the Euro 2016 final

Must be the players way of saying taxi for Pardew. As he’s not had his little winning period which he has at most clubs. Can see him getting sacked if they lose their next game. 1 win in 12 is appalling considering how all the other teams have improved under new managers.

I don't know what's worse, the fact that the lines were clearly drawn by hand, or that they aren't even parallel with the pitch.

Get off their backs! It's not as though they have examples going back close to decades of how to properly show if someone is offside.

edit: I think we should just be glad they got the frame right.
