so apart from oil money, how would one manage to get to the top table. Boils my tiddle it does.

Only thing that annoys me about the champions League as it is... Is that it's not champions

Should be champions of each country's top league

Plus domestic cup winners

So League cup, FA cup, league

Only winners no runners up

Runners up go into the Loser's League

That ship sailed 30 years ago

Whilst it’s not only the champions it’s a competition that has evolved to ensure the European Super League wasnt created.

How can Southampton player get his red overturned but not Luiz? They were the same thing!!

Because Martial dived .

But again it was to protect the elite. Ave a feeling that eventually it don’t matter what UEFA do, an elite league will be formed. Purely on the basis of greed.

i wonder if there would ever come a time where retrospective bans come in for diving. That said you would hope it was picked up on VAR.

Will cost the fans who go to away games a few Bob.
Plus another pay per view channel.

Only seen MOTD .
Did the ref have a look on the monitor?
This is one of the jobs VAR was brought in for.

Can’t see us getting a win tonight, 2 recent drab defeats coming up against a Chelsea team with a new manager, will we show a bit more passion and flair.

It’s going to be a long night.

Which includes your own club who have spent millions to reach that “elite” league and continue to spend millions desperate to win the elite competition so that the club might be classed alongside the great top European clubs

looks a better line up with Vinicus up front, playing Son there last couple of games has left you without Kane and Son! Might be vulnerable out wide mind.....

I don't have any sympathy for Luiz, he's known for being a clumsy idiot these days, and I only saw that incident once. I thought Bednarek's one was well harsh, not even a penalty for me.

On the subject of Bednarek, anyone have him in their fantasy team? He got -7 points! An own goal, a red card, and nine conceded. Has to be the worst individual points score in the history of FPL.

I had Bednarek in my fantasy team, but fortunately on the bench. Yesterday I was just hoping that Konsa started for Villa to save me the 7 points through Bednarek coming off of the bench. Also, had Leno as my keeper!

Does look more balanced line up, but after the last 2 games I’m not hopeful, I just hope we are more proactive and don’t sit back to much.

He did, and oddly enough I think the first person to approach the ref after he looked at the screen and was walking to the box was Maguire. Who looked a bit nervous re what the decision was.

Might as well hope for pigs to fly! Jose doesn't want to lose to Chelsea, he'll take nil nil all day. Shame we can't keep a clean sheet really.

Another issue is - if they've overturned the ban then they're saying the VAR official(s) AND the referee both got it wrong. So will they be reprimanded? Making a mistake pre-VAR days was absolutely understandable from the officials because it's a difficult job and they would obviously miss things. Making a mistake when there's two of them reviewing video footage for three minutes? Unforgivable.

The oil money clubs will never have the same respect as the other English clubs that have won the top prize in Europe ?

This is crap shouldn’t have to watch football like this. ?
