    I think the more impressive stat is out of all the top 8 teams, only Bayern registered a win.

    Premier league teams when they can’t have 8 players on the goalkeeper from set pieces 😮‍💨

    Amazing how shite we all are as soon the refs stop us cheating from corners…

    Barely any ability to create since the PL has become the kick and rush league, rather than having any good, quality, technical football.

    Newcastle is the best English team in the Champions League, as everyone already knew

  5. I wish more people would acknowledge that the gaps between the elite leagues, especially on individual days with individual matches, really aren’t that large. Yeah, maybe the Premier League has the best average level, fine, but that really doesn’t mean that other leagues deserve the disrespect that so many Prem advocates so often spew. Europe is full of solid, well-coached sides with talented players who can compete with even the richest sides on their day.

    Intelligent people should also understand that just because a PL club ends up paying £50 million for a player from a non-PL side because that club imposes a PL tax doesn’t mean the club have bought a player five times as good as the £10 million player the non-PL club signs as a replacement. It just means the Premier League club is capable of paying a premium.

  6. Reckon Liverpool and Arsenal will still go through, can’t see Newcastle winning away in Barcelona.

    The other ties aren’t even worth discussing…

    Didn’t we recently have Rooney and someone else saying Barca / Real Madrid would finish around 8th in the prem?

  8. The best performing Prem team was Newcastle imo. I still think Liverpool and Arsenal should go through but Arsenal in Europe you never know and Liverpool this season have been iffy.

    This premier league agenda has managed to bring Madrid and Barca fans together. I’m crying.

    Every PL team bar Newcastle also played the first leg away. Expected to be harder, but no wins are suprising.

  11. On paper only Arsenal and Liverpool should win their tie. The result isn’t that outrageous when you look at it like that.

  12. italy mostly gone last round, england this round, probably spain and then germany by the semis and then we get the norway / turkey final we deserve

  13. Amazing that Arsenal got the best result of the lot despite playing awfully and not meeting expectations.

    (Yes Newcastle got a more impressive result but in terms of going through Arsenal got the best result)

  14. Newcastle put in the best performance out of all the English teams. Really deserved a win.

    Arsenal didn’t do anything spectacular but still got away without losing and shouldn’t have any problems going through.

    Liverpool could have lost with more goals, but could also have scored some. They really showed how unstable they are but they will probably have no problem winning at home.

    City looked like a team of youngsters in the first half, Pep hasn’t had many games like that.

    Chelsea looked pretty decent, until the 3-2 goal..

    And there’s been enough said about Spurs..
