Great strike. Juve 2-1 up.

Has to be you'd think.

Nope, but he and Greenhalgh have been stood down this weekend, which is as good as an admission they've had a mare. I guess we've probably had an apology if that's the case. The lino next to the Digne challenge on Murphy has the Forest v Liverpool game. He didn't get owt wrong I suppose - he could have told Kavanagh it was a red but ultimately it would have been Kavanagh's decision anyway.

How many times have we drawn them now in the last few years? Is that the third or fourth?

Just glad they got the cows off before kick off.

Sorry mate - I somehow always thought we were the same age 😂 I remember that. Was young though. Was going crazy and couldn't understand it. Two equalisers ruled out for no discernable reason. He was just making stuff up. I was convinced he hated us and wanted a Brighton win. He did shuffle off this mortal coil nearly seven years ago though, so there is that.

Clarke was at the Brentford game - I presume that was a last effort to try and sway him and Harvey has said no.

Had a good feeling about last night and got the same for Saturday. My only concern is our record without Bruno, assuming it's as bad as it looked. They've three big players out (yeah, I know we have too) and are starting to struggle at home. Tonight's win wasn't convincing and Tuesday should give us confidence.

I remember Spurs being very good in the 80s. Two FA Cups (plus a final in 87), a Cup Winners Cup, and we regularly got stuffed at White Hart Lane. Hated playing down there. Although we'd not won anything for years, after our stadium expansion and the KK years, when Ashley came in in 2008 Spurs and NUFC were fairly even in league placing and income. From that point of view ENIC were far superior custodians, growing the club and infrastructure during the boom years of the Premier League while Ashley let us rot. Spurs have lost their way a bit on the pitch recently though with poor signings and managerial appointments, to the point where you'd argue whether they are still part of the "big six", especially with us and Villa growing our income and performing at a higher level. Get the next managerial appointment right though and the physical infrastructure is there.

I think their UCL form has to be put into context. Of the eight teams we faced the lowest finishers were Bilbao in 29th. Four of those we faced either qualified directly or made the playoffs. They played four of the bottom six in Copenhagen (31st), Frankfurt (33rd), Slavia Prague (34th) and Villareal (35th). No one they played qualified automatically. The highest was PSG who they lost to in Paris. They finished with an identical goal difference to us, and one more win. With their fixtures I feel we'd have qualified easily.

I'm up for this one too. My second of the season after Man City at home. Last year I was a jinx (we lost two out of the three home games I went to) so hoping this season is the opposite.

I only caught a bit on my way to the supermarket in the car, but he did offer this lovely soundbite (might not be exact): "I hope Pep doesn't leave the Premier League. He's brought so much tactical innovation, like introverted full-backs… ". I guess we must have the most introverted full-backs in the league in Tino and Hall. F*king illiterate gimp…

But if he doesn't he'll never get to beat the fifth?

He's not finished and I'd have him in the squad. Wouldn't play him in games like tonight though.

A yellow for them? Never.... That's not allowed surely?

To be fair he had too - it was his pass that gave it away in the first place.

Strong reactions. It's only a game FFS.

Foot like an owl's head…

I'll watch it but I hate them as much as the Mackems. Am as nervous as I am on derby days. Villa aren't far behind so it's not been a good week so far 😂

I don't like it. I didn't really like the original barcode kit and I haven't liked many recently as they are too busy. I'm a bit of a purist - I like simple kits. Plain black and white stripes, ideally on the thick side, with a striped back and number patch. The Asics kit we wore when we first got promoted to the Premier League was class.

Yeah, they said any stadium or city clashes would be looked at after the draw by the team that's responsible for that and that the schedule would be known later this evening.

Think they said it would be later tonight during the draw.

To be fair, if we get through maybe twelve of the remaining sixteen* teams are tough games. Chelsea/Barcelona won't fancy us or PSG, (assuming we both get through). * Fifteen as we can't play ourselves.

😂 Based on my Turkish (Azeri is a similar Turkic language) Qarabağ means "Black Vine" (as in grapes). Not sure Baku is famous for its wine though.

That was amazing…
