Wish they drew the semis before this like the CL. If that’s actually the team I don’t even know what I’m looking at. Bummer if Tino is injured, but not surprising after the kicking Chelsea gave him.

Just keep him on gardening leave for 18 months if it’s anything below £10m.

The Twilight Saga: Newcastle Moon

Burn LWB would be something

The draws have changed the math with Germany and England now having higher max scores than Italy, though both can't hit their max since there are two head-to-head matchups. If either West Ham or Arsenal win I think it will be pretty much job done for England.

Europa League draw very intriguing. Liverpool can knock out Atalanta. One of Roma or Milan will be gone. And West Ham v Leverkusen.

1. Italy, 17.714 2. Germany, 16.357 3. England, 16.250 4. France, 14.750 5. Spain, 14.187 England’s max score is now only slightly below Italy’s. It would all be decided if Leverkusen had gone out. The CL draw certainly makes things interesting. Two German semifinalists with no English teams would change everything.

That’s the working assumption. In keeping with how the entire sport is run there doesn’t appear to be any definitive statement and all rules may be made on the spot.

Outstanding results for England, although Leverkusen is hilarious. Winning on aggregate 5-4 with three of their goals coming in added time and erasing 2-0 deficits in both. Outrageous.

Coefficients do seem to be less of a disadvantage in the new format and they have reduced the % of the money that is based on coefficients. There's at least some recognition that it's a stupid setup.

Could be. It'd be great if that number they shared was only the UEFA payments.

£37m per the club's notes in the accounts. Doesn't specify if that is only UEFA money or also includes matchday income for those games, but I've been assuming it's everything as it lines up better with other estimates.

The Euros are going to be too soon for him, but he should have a good chance at carving out a fullback spot heading towards 2026.

Wish there was a video of him getting the text and "telling a few of the lads."

For sure and there are other youngsters not in the squad like Mainoo and Jones. Just saying there's an opportunity as opposed to being a #10 or winger right now, good luck.

The CM door is very open for Miley if he can kick on in the next couple years.

Just that his durability was fueled by a massive painkiller addiction.

"How much have injuries ruined the competition? There are so many games, has that diluted the competition? Imagine Milan and Newcastle at full strength," she said.

I mean… not exactly the best example.

Who besides Keys? His comments have fueled a lot of content.

Even if he can't play I really want him to get named to the squad. He's earned it.

Totally agree with this. It's why I find the "what's the excuse now?" and "is it the fatigue again?" posts so incredibly irritating.

That's excellent news if true. I feel like I'm turning to the dark side in this thread though. I don't know how you can absolve Eddie of any blame with Gordon. Injured or not, serious or not - the fact we didn't place more importance on getting him some rest in the last month is a mistake and, given how the season has gone, I was really hoping we'd start to see some progress in this area. This isn't hindsight either.
