Part personal bias against English clubs due to English media/fan hype. Part just finding the other matchups more intriguing. Barca vs Ajax yes please. Especially for Europa where it means a lot more to Valencia and Frankfurt than it would Chelsea and Arsenal.
Arsenal finish 3rd in the league, United 4th, Gunners scenario puts Chelsea in and then UCL final is Spurs trying to knock United out of UCL next year (and trying to get in themselves) Drama
It was just poking fun. You’re a pretty across the board guy. You’re one of the very few that posts in the Ligue 1 thread, I think you prefer LaLiga to EPL and I believe you’re one of the posters that watches a fair amount of Bundesliga Respect
Yes, Liverpool has let us all down. Chances were slim that all four ties would go just the right way.
And a quick Auba response. 4-2 aggregate, an away goal each so it can still go to extras should Valencia score two.
Just laying out the sitch (is that how one should shorten it?). Get a three goal lead and you should be safe
Lacazette sewing things up for Arsenal, good pressuring of Valencia's back line. Time to swap over to Chelsea who are tied up again after Jovic again is Eintracht Frankfurt's scorer.
Wow, already on a yellow and sliding in and getting zero of the ball. Very lucky not to go off there, Rode.
I don't normally do this, but Chelsea let's get this together already. An all England European Cup Finals would be amazing.
The match has been end to end since I flipped over, both teams getting serious traction but Frankfurt honestly is looking the more threatening.
You and I both know how useless high school Spanish classes are/were. I did the same and could translate like 5% of what Spanish announcers are saying on a sports broadcast.
I actually can understand a lot more than I would expect. I think if I was around it more I could pick it up.
It is so so hard to cheer for Chelsea but it's the only thing between me and an even longer HMMMMMmMmMMM coming nexus' way.
Ooh, a good almost-free header off the final corner, decided for a flick on instead of a direct effort. Free soccer!
Pathetic, a 5 on 2 or 3 opportunity for Chelsea and they can't pick out the right pass to even get a shot off.
