Champion's League 23/24

[Lost]

Newcastle get the group of death. With PSG, Dortmund and Milan... yeah, bar a miracle they aren't getting out that group. Bayern vs United another cracking tie to look forward to also. Don't see United getting out of that group either if I'm honest. Arsenal and City will be disappointed if they don't top their groups. Should be fairly straightforward for them.

Whatever happens in group F, the Geordies are gonna be absolutely relishing this. Some of the best fans. Trip to the San Siro. Playing in front of Dortmund's yellow wall. Mbappe and Co. And bringing them all to St. James' Park.

They were only in the Championship 6-7 years ago and, until last season, a bottom half of the league prem team.

I'm not so sure, I don't think any of those teams will be thinking this is a cakewalk.

Absolutely. I'm hoping Spurs fans will be back there in the next year or two.

Fingers crossed. Must admit a bit depressing seeing all those juicy fixtures with Spurs not being involved.

I've still got Bayern and Harry to cheer on mind.

Man Utd could quite easily finish second, so I think they’ll get through to the knockout stage!! Although it will be difficult for Newcastle, they’ll be difficult to beat at home - could be interesting?

I find Arsenal's group funny. If spurs were in the competition, I could crack a joke saying they've made a Europa League group to make Arsenal feel at home. But we're not, so I can't.

Given how they have been playing and the attitude of the majority of players they would be hard pressed to finish 2nd in the lower football leagues

Harry Maguire scores the only goal in Utd’s win last night and goalkeeper Onana saves an injury time penalty!!

2 more for Harry today. That makes it 26 goals and assists in 15 games. How we've started so well this season, after losing the best player in the world, is astonishing.

The man will get his ballon d'or next year. May not even be close.

Also on the up is St. Marcus. He now has as many red cards as he does goals this season (1).

Lol, keeps getting better and better for the Rashfords, bless their hearts. Brother and agent arrested.

Half an hour left, if they can hold on, Newcastle will go through to the knockout stages from the group of death! This after thrashing PSG at St. James' Park...

As I type, there should have been 2 equalisers!

[Lost]

Outrageous penalty given against Newcastle in the 97th minute. Off the chest onto the elbow - not a penalty.

But Newcastle were lucky not to concede 4 or 5 in the second half. Shame a dodgy decision was the equaliser.

Here's the "penalty" in question. Video will be deleted for copyright shortly I'm sure.

Obviously no Newcastle supporters on the Forum - last nights draw against PSG could cost them dearly - I didn’t see the game just the few minutes of highlights, but the penalty in the last minute of added time compounds the joke that VAR has become - the only way to avoid such decisions is to introduce a new type of shirt that has no arms!!
