Been out had a few beers, got in at 9 30 and still woke up to watch game, looks like im the only one on here thou, I won't tell you the score at the moment as I know some are tapeing it

Well, only by luck that i woke up at half time on the sofa, having spent the day on the piss celebrating our lads 21st, here in Marbella.

Not seen a goal yet despite us being 3 up so far.

Unlucky Nunes!!! That would have been a great goal.

Oscar Bobb (named after our cat LOL) & Rodri just come on.

This referee cam malarkey seems a bit interesting, that said I can see the benefit of it overriding VAR, I think!

I know these are shit but Ilkay just made 4 - 0 nicely done.

Oscar Bobb gets the 5th after some great work from Cherki to set it up.

Cherki clever goal set up by Erling makes it 6

Forget the score, late on we showed the ability to go up the gears again. Finally.

No idea about first half due to my power nap on sofa, but what I saw of the 2nd half it should have plenty more than the 6 we won by.

As I reckon, we all predicted we are through to next round along with Juve, so I can watch the last group game against them without stressing much.

Next game at a much more sociable hour of 21:00 (20:00 UK) on Thursday.

Will be back in blighty for the game after that sadly

Just seen goals from first half, Echeverri.... look it up what a belter that was.

Oh and the retro red and black sash on white (Allison era???)

They've just said If we beat Juve, we avoid playing the Spaniish rags

Adios mi amigos

Thought left back played fantastic, scored a few goals but for pissing about with ball we could of scored a few more, that said we as a team was a 7 out of 10

Echeverri is quality

Aït-Nouri looks like he played well.

Worrying that Haaland didn't seem to be trying to get into the box when balls were played in.

He's clearly struggling to score from open play, and I think it's time Pep starts rotating Haaland with Marmoush this season. Since returning from injury, Haaland hasn't shown the level of performance that justifies starting him every game.

You didn't fancy calling your cat Marbella then ?

So, after this game, both us and Juve are through, making the final game a dead rubber. Real play after us, and we won't know what position they'll end in the group. I don't fancy Pachucha to get any result against Al Hilal, so if Real win they'll top the group, but if they draw they'll come second, pretty much. Whatever happens, they'll get the result they want to avoid either us or Juve; whichever they're least keen on facing in the next round.

To be honest his 1-2 with Cherki for the goal was a beauty.

Just watching it now.

Not a great help that they all look the same

The wonderkid has arrived!

Andros Townsend is a clueless twat

Nice to have a left back

Gundo now worth more, sorry Galatasaray

Bobb (Rowan Atkinson style)

Cherki also arrived

Game over

Don't think I'll be recommending their goalie to anyone, except the Rags

Was Mansour at the game, anyone know? Al Ain are owned by his brother and boss, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
