This isn't quite the Spurs game for us, but at least in that we weren't blowing out of our arse like the Dippers are.

Edit: 3-0,.

2-0 now :D

I'm watching the BM/ Dippers match too. BM look so lethargic and way off pace, on this performance can see them anywhere near the final 16

Dippers, well Mane has been excellent, Sturridge just scored and now looks injured. They'll burn out as per norm

I can understand Munich, they will just use their first 5 games to warm up, their league is that poor, but the Dippers going full whack already?

Klopp looks like he'll be going for the Christmas trophy. At least Brendon lasted until April.

Just watching the second half of Brighton Vs Athlectio Madrid.

Madrid just made it 3-2, Griesman making the difference. TBH Brighton have played quite well and I don't think they'll be a pushover this season

Contrary to popular belief, I think a fixture away at a promoted club first up is one of the worst fixtures to be dealt with. Much rather play them later in the season when the euphoria has died down for them after getting a few beatings

Good shout NB, I have a client who is ST down there and I asked him before promotion was confirmed and he said with an Err of caution that they just dreaming of seeing the likes of us, chelski, scouse at theirs, don't care if they go straight back down but warned about but reckons regardless of who rocks up they'll be on form as a crowd.
