Leverkusen away

Barca (H), PSG (A) from Pot 1. Shame, wanted someone new.

Away to Barca.... no wait, we'll be at home. I don't get this draw at all

So they're drawing a ball but the computer has already decided? I have no idea what is going on, I assume this is because I zoned out during the weird build up

All I care about with this is how many times I can refer to us as reigning champions.

As a non season ticket holder, at least that away trip might give me a chance of getting a ticket

3 pens down, not one scored

Absolutely everything about that move was brilliant from Gordon

This sounds very familiar. Drawbridge well and truly pulled up this summer

Kane hattrick, 6-0 to Bayern

Leipzig just had a goal ruled out for a free kick taken incorrectly, must have been at least 5 minutes between the goal being scored and it being ruled out. Also had about 7 subs between the goal the goal going in and being ruled out.

Can't imagine Dagenham would let their new star striker go cheap...

Would've thought there would be a loan with an option to buy available with Jackson. Question marks over if he is good enough + selling club don't want to keep him, surely that would be a good compromise for both sides?

Need a good start, not a huge amount on the bench that can change things offensively but its a pretty good squad.

Show that to Isak and tell him that's what his agent. We'll soon have him apologising and crawling along Northumberland Street in a Cersei Lannister style shame parade before the second game of the season.

Harvey Barnes sounds like he is really having to try hard not to do an impression of the famous equaliser commentary.

Actually, I'm surprisingly cheap.

Has there ever been a more hated NUFC player than Isak, apart from Owen? Seems intent on burning as many bridges as possible with no real solid exit plan. Problem both the club and him have is, after he has acted like this, no one is going to want to cough up £150m for someone so unprofessional. His value is tanking by the day and we're not going to turn round and accept £110m after so publicly turning it down a couple of weeks ago. He's going to end up 'stuck' here/we're going to be stuck with him until at least January. That's a long time to spend training by yourself.

You know its bad when I start agreeing with what that greasy, slimeball Pardew has to say on the matter

Matt Target: secret midfielder.. About to go through his Joelinton era?

The lack of a CB is as worrying as a striker to me, Schar & Burn are both 33, Botman is still just back from a massive injury, need a minimum two playing every game in a Champions League season is going to be tough going.

To be fair, we tried with the first two. But PSR and PSG got in the way.

Out of all the batshit things I've read on here over the past few days, comparing Como to Blyth might be the most insane.

To be fair, our commercial revenue has jumped enormously since the takeover. Its just that we started with a ridiculously low figure it is always going to take years to properly dent the gap.
