London 371 Posted August 29, 2024 Share Posted August 29, 2024 Taking a look at this year's expanded Champions League format. 36 teams, 4 pots, 8 games group stage matches instead of 6. The top 8 teams go through the knockout round of 16. 9th to 24th go into a two-legged knockout game before progressing the the round of 16. Could potentially mean 10 matches before a team makes it to the round of 16. The Europa League is also following the same format. Hopefully this means we can play teams when they're fatigued or have a European match coming up. The 8 Champions League match weeks are: September 17-19 Newc vs City - 28th Sept October 1-2 October 22-23 Newc vs Arsenal - 2nd Nov November 5-6 November 26-27 Newc vs Liverpool - 4th Dec (worth noting that Liverpool play City on the 30th Nov and Everton on the 7th Dec) December 10-11 January 21-22 January 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveat - the additional games in Europe being offset by their next 3 rounds in the Carabao Cup being played at home against League One opposition. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 43967 Posted August 29, 2024 Share Posted August 29, 2024 (edited) Was going to share a tweet from sky where they're talking about McTomminay getting mobbed at Naples airport but the pictures they showed only had him being mobbed by officials keeping him safe from the fans but I didn't notice many fans at all. I was going to have another look to double check but couldn't as it was deleted by them. Edited August 29, 2024 by Howmanheyman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 22515 Posted August 29, 2024 Share Posted August 29, 2024 Tino and Pope in Carsley’s first England squad. Sounds like Tripps found out he wasn’t in it and immediately retired from international duty No Kyle Walker either but McGuire is back in.. https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/england-squad-in-full-madueke-white-gomes-lee-carsley-2024-b1178992.html?utm_source=livescore&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=foryou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63312 Posted August 29, 2024 Share Posted August 29, 2024 Is Carsley gonna persist with fucking Pickford, I wonder. A goalkeeper that the entire footballing world is happy to watch battle relegation every year at Everton, without ever thinking about trying to buy him, but who Southgate saw as the best England could do.

Howmanheyman 43967 Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 Just put SSN on, on a whim, the presenters are now talking to three YouTube people in the studio about how good Man Us transfer window has been! The first one they asked was a cockney lad called 'flex' who supported the manc reds. It went straight off but seriously, just bring back half an hour of the saint and greavsie and ditch the MUTV and LFC tribute acts. It's embarrassing now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man United's window is irrelevant cos they don't have a personnel problem, they have a coaching problem. Maybe they should get me on to school Flex.

You should be ringing them up to complain about your man not getting on so he can give sky his own take on the safety features of the stack and what NOT to say to young lasses who work in hooters. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
