Yeah. He's a very clever player and great technique.

Every contact is a foul for this ref.

Merino is real quality. He can do it all.

Just lacks that pace in behind or down the channel to play that way tactically.

The player that springs to mind with him is always David Platt. pretty average on the ball outside the box, lethal inside it,

merino again

ok Mikel now sub on the children ! timber, rice and saka off

And there’s the aerial threat 3-0 job done. Get everyone off.

Ha!! He can play there every week for me.

Denis didn’t have much pace, Ash.

Merino again. Lol

Come on Mikel! Get the kids on!

Nørgaard gets the most b%*&s%*^ yellow I’ve ever seen after some great play and getting fouled himself. This ref is *%^@.

He did have some! He just got older. He also had the touch and technique of an emperor-god so he didn’t need it!

he’s a child you nonces !

leave him alone

3-0 Micky Merino at the double

Another yellow for some innocuous contact!! Somebody confiscate this prat’s bloody cards!!

Harriman-Annous! Only thing is the young players always come on when the team is significantly weaker.

We've committed 11 fouls and have 4 yellows. They have 23 fouls and 1 yellow! What is the ref thinking?

Not a penalty at all in the slightest

Ok dive and feign injury and try to win for your team but I won’t respect it. Bunch of arses these guys.

Shouldn't be a pen. He handled it.

Silly ref.

One of the least penalty penalty call I have seen for while.

Good result;

Clean sheet. Not conceded a goal in the competition yet

2 involved contact to the head. Continental refs tend to come down hard on that. Thought he was persnickety but ok.

Conceded a last minute shot on target though TG. Just not good enough.

Arteta out.

Arsenal’s next six fixtures:

Sunderland (a)
Tottenham (h)
Bayern Munich (h)
Chelsea (a)
Brentford (h)
Aston Villa (a)

we desperately need some of the injured players back,

even just having madueke and Ødegaard fit would be a massive boost for spurs

Nketiah with the opening goal for palace against Dynamo Kiev. Really chuffed for him. Hope he can find some love there.
Edit: it was actually the second goal..

These ‘european handballs’ are ridiculous. We benefitted from one that would never get given in the premier league.

Controversy in the Liverpool v Real Madrid game, ref gave a handball, question whether it’s inside or outside the box and var overturn it correctly in my view as the Real Madrid player blocking the ball has his arms close to his body and down by his side - clattenburg on comms disagreeing but that’s utter nonsense, that cannot be handball

Am I in a different time zone?
Europa League games tonight?

Great finish by an old boy… Balogun

Two goals by Diaz against PSG then he does a terrible tackle
Bayern impressive
Ah wait ref review…. Diaz red card. Right decision

Luis Diaz won’t be in the Bayern game: just sent off

Spurs have been dealt an incredibly easy set of 8 CL fixtures
Villarreal (h)
Bodo/Glimt (a)
Monaco (a)
Copenhagen (h)
PSG (a)
Prague (h)
Dortmund (h)
Frankfurt (a)

Compare that to our 8
Athletic Bilbao (a)
Olympiacos (h)
Atletico Madrid (h)
Prague (a)
Bayern (h)
Brugge (a)
Inter (a)
Kairat (h)
3 clubs with genuine CL pedigree plus Bilbao. Spurs got very lucky with their draw

That’s a big bonus. Very good player

Yes. They are racking up a few cards now they are down to 10. Neuer has been pushing his luck in time wasting. Got a card but ref should have courage if he continues to do so.

Through gritted teeth… Van de Ven scores a brilliant goal
Credit where credit is due.

Actually Europa conference but I’m none the wiser either

Eddie scored against Kiev in early October I think

So are set pieces now perfectly ok to score from now Liverpool have beaten Real Madrid with a set piece?
They scored a late set piece to beat Atletico and scored set pieces to beat Frankfurt.
Can we do a champions league table minus the set pieces like we were subjected to in the prem?

Oh wait, yes 2nd Oct, that was me, I watched part of a replay thinking it was live

If that was the most senior thing I’d done today that would have been embarrassing!
