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

Because the Wolves' 2nd round draw happens today! Can't wait to take on Crusaders.

2nd Qualifying Round

*cough*

Wolves vs. Crusaders. What is this, basketball?

Lol called it

wooooh 3Q round in Armenia, just hope Jimenez isn't too badly injured

Forgot this was an early (for us) kick off, ah well, two up at half time, hope the jet lag doesn't fuck us

PSV's tragic start to the season (cunted out of the CL) sees us playing against Haugesand in Norway rn.

A Wolves vs PSV final still very much on the cards.

the mass cards

he's been ready since 1976

Yeah I read that this morning, I mean it's not exactly eco-admirable is it? Like the bit where it was a trip to Hull he missed tho

We used to have a guy from the Isle of Man I think traveled home and away a lot

I mean it's not exactly eco-admirable is it?

this is a pretty churlish take lol

obv i have ended friendship with the greens and labour is my new best friend

Paid about six bucks for the Wolves stream, but website has crashed. Fans raging on Twitter

Had to watch it all on a pirate feed. Saw the goal. Yay!

Hopefully be back up by 2nd half

JOTAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

oof, conceded one right back. two road goals though will help with tiebreaking

Jimenez! That was sweet

ugh dumb pen at '89, makes for a tighter 2nd leg than it should be.

thank goodness for 3 away goals

Tempting to think of Wolves as plucky underdogs when of course they're easily the richest club in the competition at this stage.

I was doing something else last night, that's a solid result tho, Torino was a big step up.

Def was more lopsided than the score made it look. Now just not to Barca the 2nd leg away

Their counterattack was p balls out at times which is encouraging.

Sounds like it was a good game tonight, and now we're in the draw tomorrow. Woooooo.

I watched long enough to see the Dendoncker goal. The attack was solid. Hope they do that to Everton now.

Defending got a bit sloppy again, but they were already up 2 in aggregate at the time.

not even gonna try to understand how this draw works

Wolves-PSV final still on afaict

Wolves - Besiktas will be fun.

both games likely to be intense, happy with our group for good-looking games tbh

Celtic and Cluj will be sick of each other.

Wolves get a trip to glamorous Bratislava.

feels like a 70s classic that

Armenian drones suspend Dudelange vs Qarabag crunch match.

Qarabag players were trying to knock the drone out of the sky with the ball.

A brawl has broken out in the crowd too.

There is no bottom for this Utd team

^^ harsh on AZ imo

Wolves-PSV final still on afaict

Not taking anything away from AZ, who seem to be a decent young side

We didn't manage a single shot on target. Only managed one attempt worthy of the name. I've watched a lot of shit Utd performances in the post-Fergie era but that is down there with any of them

Genuinely remarkable showing from Fred too. Actually incapable of completing a pass greater than five yards

And Solskjaer literally looks like the ghost of David Moyes

Yay Wolves, sick of these airing during work

i couldn't watch because for some fucked up reason somebody in the pub decided that Rangers was a thing that people wanted to sww but a win in Istanbul is seriously serious goodness

Still, at least you got to see Rangers lose in the last minute.

Always a pleasure

And Solskjaer literally looks like the ghost of David Moyes

I see Solskjaer has said he was "pleased" with ManU's performance, so it's all good! Seriously though, it doesn't matter how bad a pitch is if you can't manage a single shot on target. Dark days.

Hey he scored a goal once, he must be a Top Manager

You can see it raining Untergang-style memes from this, but this is great to watch.

come on you Wolves

big win, it's now officially a "European adventure" apparently

soft sending off for Jota tho

Yay Wolvesss!

Managed to watch while teaching a class

first pepe freekick decent but the keeper fucked it, second one felt like an arrival tho

Jammy Gooner bastards. I don't know where Celtic found Christopher Jullien - well, I do, it was Toulouse - but that guy is sheer class.

coming back to beat nazio yas

I remain slightly peeved we didn't beat Rennes in the first match, we should have.

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

second half has flown by, really entertaining game but my nerves are shredded already

pen looked more than a bit soft but i'm saying heck yes just to give my jittering heart a breather

Some run that

Terrible pen.

Awful!

It’s the kind you know the player is going to miss because of their stupid run-up.

Nani (yes, *that* Nani) missed one like that for Orlando City just a few weeks ago, then he did it again and we all wanted to murder him.

i hate this. I've seen like 20% of the match cos of training, though I did see the trip in the box and the missed PK.

going to try and see more of the second half when my class is doing assignments (thank the Lord).

Raul put the pen exactly where he put the Olympiakos one so that was poor but we've played that half well otherwise

Goalkeeper had done his homework.

Wide open match, good performance from Wolves bar that miss, nervy as fuck

beautiful run by Adama up to that point too, but i pretty much knew he was going to get mugged. for that reason - easier for a GK to block a Pen then stop Traore from a sure goal like that.

Interesting half. Sevilla absolutely dominant without looking very threatening, Wolves potentially capable of scoring on the break at any point.

I hear the dominant thing but I think we've threatened more, as I say penalty aside I'd take that performance

All the hallmarks of a late 2-0 win to Sevilla. Sorry lads

Jiménez should have overhit his penalty as much as he has every pass so far

Not sure where a Sevilla goal is going to come from, tbh. it’s not dissimilar to watching Spurs.

Shakhtar look pretty safe in the other match.

Assumption these days is ‘a penalty’

Definitely just sucking it up now

I'd've subbed Saiss instead and dropped Donk to centre half but that was coming

4-0 Shakhtar. The semi vs Inter should be a blast.

O no.

Welp

The rare player taken out after the shot penalty

Bruno is stupidly good from the spot though

He’s the only person who should be allowed to do the silly run-up.

Bizarre from Williams there

anything Sevilla can do

that skill from pogba at the end there

Rashford has largely been terrible post-lockdown

It's killing us

ref is a cunt

Dreadful defending from United

Lindelof just like "nah"

Ole is such a chickenshit. Should have brought Ighalo on for Rashford at half-time - gives him three minutes of injury time

Hope we're making some signings!

Pyatov’s kicking is terrible.

Inter look very comfortable.

5-0 Inter. Shakhtar have been shocking.

managed to miss this from conte earlier in the season

Antonio Conte, sharing with L’Equipe the advice that he gives his players about how to approach their sex lives. “In periods of competition, it should not last long: you need to put in the minimum effort possible, so it’s best if their partner is on top. It’s preferable to do it with your own wife, that way you are not obliged to put in an exceptional performance.”

^ thread title still on point

How is Diego Carlos still playing? Three penalties in three consecutive matches and should have been off.

All unbelievably stupid.

This is great. 2-1 Sevilla, Conte has a yellow card, everyone’s trying to get everyone else sent off.

2-2!

Fair play to Lukakau. He doesn't usually score when the chips are down
