Spurs now currently topping the group after Frankfurt equalise in the other match.

I'm watching on the BT Sport app so about 45 seconds behind, plus had to make sure it actually was Mbemba

Chancellor!

Lots of familiar PL faces in the Marseille side - Bailly, Mbemba, Sanchez, Tavares. Payet on the bench.

Looking forward to the Spurs match. That group is so tight so bound to be a fair few changes in standing throughout the evening. Definitely watching that tonight over the Goals Show as there is very little riding on the other groups. I guess it's a long time until 4.30pm Sunday, and had they have been playing Thursday evening instead then it may have been different, but Liverpool have gone far stronger than I was expecting for an almost dead rubber (famous last words...) There can't be any positional changes in the Bayern-Barca-Inter group.

Modern day Sunderland legend alongside Quinny, Sewpa Kev, Bally, and er, Nicky Summberbell?

Devon derby is a good watch. 2-2 after 57 mins. Bali Mumba, ex Sunderland, has just equalised for Plymouth. Exeter twice ahead, but quickly pegged back both times.

Interesting League One match on Sky tonight. Plymouth vs Exeter, Devon derby. Quite a fierce rivalry apparently. Plymouth are top and have 32 points from their last 12 matches which is insane, whereas Exeter can close in on the play off places with a win.

Must admit, I proper cheered that Leeds goal. They were great, and I was hoping they would have seen it out to get a well earned point, but wasn't expecting them to get a winner at all. A very enjoyable match.

Did Boyd say that's Wilson's 5th penalty this season?

Got a bad feeling about today for some reason. It would definitely be 2 points dropped, especially at home, but I'd probably take a draw to keep the unbeaten record going.

Just stuck Sky Sports News on and saw the 'breaking news' - I'm not sure if that same news would have been breaking news this time 12 months ago, or even 2 months ago.

Well before my time that , but the 1996/97 was my first proper European campaign. I can vaguely remember parts of the 1994/95 one when we played Antwerp and Bilbao, remember watching the 3-2 home win in the spar room, but would have only just turned 8.

You can't actually watch Graz vs Feyenoord on the BT App, restricted to 6 matches including 4 involving UK and Irish teams, so I've opted for Ferencvaros vs Monaco - two teams that we faced in the 1996-97 UEFA Cup (Ginola goal vs the Hungarians). Quite a tight group as well with Ferencvaros currently top, perhaps surprisingly. Not sure how long I'll watch for mind, but it's on at the moment

I was quite pleased that both Spurs and Arsenal need to approach their respective final European matches next week in a normal manner, hoping they would have been playing someone near the bottom of the table in their following PL match, and subsequently drop unexpected points, but the play Liverpool and Chelsea respectively.

Arsenal will still be massive favourites for top spot, and may well finish top (and avoid an extra tie) even if they lost at home to Zurich, but they will now have to approach that game as a meaningful one, whereas had they drawn here, they could have done what they live after sealing the group. Anyone watching a particular match later on? The 8pm matches involving English clubs don't look that interesting, and minimal jeopardy, so may actually have Graz vs Feyenoord on in the background, as that group is ridiculously tight.

Never heard of this 'Brian Hill' before, assumed he must have been a local coming through the Spurs academy

Watching the Spurs match and I swear BT Sport just have the same adverts on loop, that gravlax one and Dominoes pepperoni passion one must have been on about 10 times each already

It's brilliant

Hanley 1-0 Burnley.

A lot of Newcastle interest in that Norwich 18. A shame Krul seems to have lost his place recently. I used to often see Hanley in Tesco while he was up here.

Ha, more like someone on here pretending to be him . There'll be loads going undercover on forums, some of those 'mags in peace' on RTG will likely be mackems, and there'll also be a fair few Newcastle fans on there pretending to be Sunderland. Probably get a few of those on here as well, ha.

Think I'll watch Burnley vs Norwich on Sky later instead of a CL match. Quite a big match. Norwich had 22 points from 24 available but now haven't won in their last 5 matches, so could badly do with getting at least a point here, but then Burnley are in pretty decent form, and will go top even with a draw. Would have been nice if that started at 7.30/45 for a bit of overlap at half time and stuff.

Exactly the 50:00 mark on here https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0d3q73h

I know the location isn't the most popular, not just because of the obvious, but also that all the stadiums are so close together that it will feel totally different to a traditional World Cup, and it may well affect our momentum if we do well in the next 4/5/6 matches (or it could actually help us recover with our high intensity pressing), but that aside, I'm really looking forward to this starting 3 weeks on Sunday. My general interest in football is through the roof these days, I'm watching all sorts, and the option to watch up to 4 matches per day is very appealing at the moment, as I'm sure if will be to other Newcastle fans. The timing is also controversial, but it's actually worked out well, unintentionally. Had it have been in the summer, then it would have just been 1 year after Euro '2020' and that would have felt far too soon, and had it have been next summer, then again, only one year from Euro 2024, and likewise, so with Covid, the timing has actually worked out perfectly with an 18 month gap between 3 major international tournaments. Quite a strange feeling - it would be great for them personally if Botman, Joelinton, and Wilson all made their respective squads (along with Pope, Tripper, Schaar, Bruno, and now Kuol), and another bit of interest to matches from our perspective should they feature, but on the other hand, it would be more beneficial to NUFC if they were part of the squad that went out to Saudi instead.
