Villa wining 2-0 but have had 2 others disallowed by VAR for handballs.

Great to watch Gyokeres again.
Just feed him he'll score.

He has!!

 

[wingy]

And there we go!

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Haha Called it.

Great finish, what a player.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Hat trick incoming

 

[It’sabatch87]

I’m still amazed no premier league club took a punt on him last season for £20-25 million!!

 

[wingy]

You luv to see it, then a sending off for the oppo!

 

[Tommo1993]

Questionable defending but still had lots to do. What a player.

 

[Evo1883]

That's a top top finish by vik btw

That's a joke of a decision tbf. Angel Gomes too, made his England debut in the intl break.

 

[Evo1883]

Vik would be a great replacement for lewandowski at Barcelona

 

[Tommo1993]

Lads, stop it. Some bitch is gonna come on here telling us off for liking anything Gyokeres does.

I fucking love the bloke and will follow his career with great interest

 

[It’sabatch87]

I can see him going for well over £100 million if he carries on scoring and a few quid for us again!!

 

[Tommo1993]

Snap. Would love to see him back in England.

 

[Saddlebrains]

I will always watch Viks career. He will go on to to win it all, premier leagues, champions leagues the lot

He was unreal for us but I think we never quite realised just how good. He will go on to be our greatest to have ever played for us I feel

Kane with a hat trick from the spot

Kane with a hat trick from the spot

A large % of his England goals are penalties aren't they ? I do rate him btw

Just looked 22 penalties from 68 goals for England

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

The games gone

To be fair he’s only a few goals off the record purely on open play goals

No groups. Each team gets a randomly chosen set of fixtures of varying difficulty based on the pot system, then get points as normal and are ranked in one big table that you see above.

So the top number go into the group stages?

Seems weird, why change it?

 

[Tommo1993]

Because they absolutely love a faff

Money. There are now 189 matches vs 125 before. Each team plays 8 “group” games instead of 6. More games to put on TV, more eyeballs, more money.

 

[TomRad85]

Even though I hate the way its going, I think I'll always love football. But I am making no attempt whatsoever to read into whatever the fuck they are doing with the Champions League atm. Looks a complete mess.
I'll pay more attention when we get to the knockout games.

add on a possible 2 play offs for those in the middle section, and thats 4 extra games per team who were moaning about too much football

 

[Evo1883]

Just realised the matches are over 3 nights which include a Thursday now too .

Can't help but feel that it's a bit much really , all very unnecessary

 

[Nuskyblue]

Martin Tyler's commentary is really dull, he always seems to be halfway a sentence that you weren't listening to and have no interest in.

I have no idea what he's been waffling on about for the first five minutes of the arsenal game but I'm fairly sure he mentioned something about hybrid cars.

They are all terrible nowadays, they need to just commentate on the game.

Peter Drury is annoying as well, wants to talk in poems to try and get a soundbyte, Fuck off.

Drury is tedious but not as tedious as the people on the internet that bang on about the bollocks he spouts out.

 

[Evo1883]

How is that a penalty ? He's not touched him

 

[Evo1883]

Amazing double save
