Make it a short one, perhaps Baldrick could assist?

Comes from old Hollywood films. Some gypsy girl was always getting locked up in a dungeon by the evil local law. Usually unshaven types in dirty uniforms. The square jawed hero type would always swing in at the last second & save her just as she was about to be violated by a posse of these leering scumbag types.

So technically, the gypsy girl came to no physical harm? Does this analogy flow through to Dortmund's situation? If so, who will be the square jawed hero against the muddied and unshaven Real Madrid team?

Maybe Toni Kroos gets shot?

Erm....

Most of that title is reserved.

Yeah. She always got rescued. The analogy was about the intent rather than what actually transpired. But I expect Real to get the job done. In real life.

Although, if there was to be a square jawed type to rescue Dortmund ? Well no shortage of those in a team full of Germans. Mats Hummels soaring high to head home a set piece in injury time ?

This is where you need Robert Huth to still be playing. The square jaw against which all others shall forever be judged.

So a scab club wins Europe's top prize. Great.

Wow that’s never happened before

Unfair. They've historically been flag bearers for both a monarchy & a fascist state. Way beyond scab.

Quiet thread, this. I’ve been watching this absolute shit between Arsenal and Shakhtar. Trossard missed a penalty a little bit ago. Does anyone know why he has grey hair? He’s not even 30, allegedly.

 

[SilverFox]

Didn’t know it was on. Did see a bit of Watford and Leeds. Watford were shit.

Champions League, my arse

Hard to really get interested in a massive league of random fixtures being played over months not really knowing the significance of any particular result. Group stages were often dull but you knew most results mattered.

Yeah I can see that being hard to get into. Sounds shite.

Commentator made a comment that they equalled Leicester city’s record of winning their first 3 games as debutants .


That deserves a Hmmmm

 

[Joe_Fox]

I didn't even realise it was a league format. I looked at the league and thought urgh, gross.

Some more than others .

Making out Villa are debutants when they won the European cup 40 + years ago , is one.

It is very bizarre, they usually have a massive great list of stats and facts. Did he not even google it before the game?

 

[FOX Franks]

Ye gods, just had a look and that is absolutely minging. I remember reading about the convulated format.

So it's sort of a league but you don't play everyone? What's the point of being in the same 'league' then?
