It was "fun" while it lasted - Europa League 2019-20

LASK are pretty good tbh. Better than Rangers, at least.

Better than Red Bull Salzburg as far as the Austrian League is concerned too.

I mean maybe postponing tomorrow might be an idea

so not only are UEFA insisting that games go ahead, but they're going ahead under the strong possibility that the competitions get suspended next week anyway. top class administration.

Prescient thread title tbf

First behind-closed-doors game Ive watched and its pretty fucking weird. Ighalo looking like he's having a great game

always sad to watch a team give up completely

but mostly lol

don't think they'd have given up quite like that with a home crowd watching them, some nice goals from united all the same though

greenwood certainly looks like a lethal, instinctive finisher

so Wolves-Olympiakos, while I'm training people. let's just say I am trying to get through the material fast today.

so it's 1-1 on aggregate, but Wolves have an away goal, so if it ends 0-0, they win on tiebreaker due to away goals, right? and if both teams score a goal and it's 2-2 aggregate, then away goals will be tied, and it goes extra time?

and if it's 2-2 today, 3-3 on aggregate, Olympiakos fuckin wins?

and if both teams score 63 goals...

Yep.

Wolves should be good enough to win it in 90 imo.

hope so. the final Premier match was one of their worst performances of the year, but they're well-rested now.

wondering if I can teach and watch out of one corner of my eye.

decided not to go to a pub for it because pubs just aren't conducive at the moment so i'll try and get a good stream. can't disagree with us being favourites but Olympiacos are Not Mugs, clearly

this is about the third time both Wolves and Orlando City have played the same day in the last month and neither team has won on the same day for me on the previous three attempts, so......

hopefully the streak breaks.

Awful fuck up from the debut keeper, hopefully that'll settle us

28 years old with 16 professional games under his belt.

I meant it's his first in Europe afaik, worded it badly

No, I was just noting that he has barely played at all in his career!

Yeah, interesting back story, both parents are deaf, he coaches the French deaf football team I believe

Hope Jonny's injury is minor

Great move by Olympiakos there

This has been a great comeback,

Very unlucky.

Camara looks good.

Stream's about 3/4 minutes slow, their forwards' movement frightens me whenever they get a chance

Another bullshit VAR offside? Still going to be like that next season

Robbed there I think

His feet were behind Doherty's

Lol Raul

Jesus

This is the most stressful match I’ve seen in months and I don’t even care who wins.

I'm sure the weather is warm tonight but I've had to stick a fan on

God what a game

barely got to watch it....thanks to my class. I saw the goal and I saw most of the second half.

glad we won. but I'm siiiiick of missing tourney matches due to work. next time one of you call in and say I died.

should be Tuesday afternoon your time next

don't know if my nerves can hold up for knockout football now

when's the draw? or do we already know who plays who?

oh united have copenhagen, just remembered

already made, Wolves play Sevilla, Man U play Copenhagen, managed by former Wolves boss Stale Solbakken, not sure about the other half

Inter v Leverkusen, Shaktar v Basel

united were so shit last night and haven't been good for a few games now - could easily see them getting beaten by wolves should they meet

like i said it's straight knockouts now, we've not reached any heights since football restarted but who knows

Sevilla are pretty good at this competition.

I’m an @Arsenal fan, but well played @Wolves tonight! Great result.

might need a new club any suggestions?

Wolves definitely haven't gotten out of first gear since restart, but were just kind of blessed to have lots of matches against the relegation zone. today they could have won without even scoring based on the first leg.

but idk, maybe a knockout where they have no second leg to bail em out will motivate them not to fuck up.

Sir Keir doesn't at all sound like a complete fucking pillock desperately grasping for *normal bloke* credentials!

lol goddammit I teach a class on Tuesday at that time (3 pm), the same one I taught this week, and there's noooo chance I'll be able to give them busy work at 3. oh well, will do my best to be the worst teacher alive. I tried to delay the live broadcast and catch up but CBS Access didn't let me. maybe I can 'DVR' it on Youtube TV lol.

Orlando won today so they again play on the same day, lol.

2-1 Inter after 20 minutes, VAR checking for a penalty.

Greenwood again but could be offside

that goal is living a charmed life at the moment
