Barca v Newcastle - Newcastle will try to take all of the football out of the game for 80 minutes then look to burgle a goal. Just worry there is no plan B.
0-0 a definite runner at 30.
Bayern v Atalanta
At 1.4 surely Bayern are one the bets of the season.
Tottenham v At Madrid
At Mad don't have to win but surely should not be a bigger price than Spurs. Back at 2.86
Liverpool v Galatasaray
A very shaky Liverpool side could succumb. 3.4 is too big for Gala to qualify. But a bet on a win in 90 mins @ 11.0 is no moonshot.
Expect the Atmosphere at Anfield to deteriorate from minute 20 if Liverpool are not in front.

bayern are not a bet of the season if they have to field a 16 year old keeper, which they may do
also likely they will field three other youth players. they have such a big lead a win is of no consequence
But if I'm not mistaken, Germans have no scruples about beating teams when they don't have to.
After all, Bayern have the Bundesliga sewn up and I'm sure Kane has an eye on the stats.

yes biscuits fair points. but they cant be bet of the year with a third of the team likely to be youth players. that was my only point. odds are set at 'bet of the year' level for reason
Oh oh.
This is the supreme test for Eddie Howe. Can he implement a Plan B?

But surely Newcastle will try to keep the ball out of play so long as the game is open
Newcastle have no inclination or means to 'park the bus'
Spurs seemed a lay to me at 2.52 - surely also more worried about relegation Premier matches coming up...?

Well, just the obvious.
Out of the domestic cups, adrift in the Prem ..
But they could never just hang on for penalties, they don't have the players for that. Even their 'holding midfielder' is a converted centre forward.
They have very good attackers and so the plan was to attack.

Respect Newcastle for losing by five or six, same as losing by one.
always good to get your score up in letters on the auld teleprinter
barca 7 [ SEVEN ]

Should be a few goals, Galatasaray's defence is bad but some quality forwards
English high press incoming. Saves on playing football. Hope it fails.
More like 1/2 Mi Thinks
premier league sponsors will be asking for answers
9 teams failed to score last weekend with 6 draws in 10 games - entertainment death
3 of their teams has been spanked in europe already 21-6 (newcastle, city, chelsea)
all that money invested and marketed as the best league sold to TV companies worldwide... embarrassed on a worldwide audience
by letting that style of football of blocking, messy setpieces and anti-football rife in the game, they've been well and truly exposed. hopefully this summer they will rip up the rule book and we can get back to some sort of decent football as its been dire

Liverpool just love to disappoint @ big odds on, I Hope they WIN !
Nonsense. If they played that way they'd have done a lot better. Spurs, Chelsea, City don't play like that at all.
They played wide open against teams with good players and got destroyed. That is not how they play in the PL against even half decent sides.

not at al lurka, they got picked apart because they couldnt keep hold of the ball. nothing to do with open, they couldnt get out their half to be classified as open
Nonsense both Chelsea and City had their entire outfield 10 within 40 yards of the opposition goal and got caught on the break by Real/PSG players, away from home first leg. City multiple times and kept playing like that, like there was no 2nd leg. Utter muggery.

Not like there was one goal in it
thats because they thought they was a match.... they wern't.. outclassed because the lge is poor
Gala down to ten men on the pitch. I hate those Liverpool fans in the front row, but haven't payed through thr teeth for their seats so - swings and roundabouts.
I'm talking about the first legs when it was level. City got caught like that 3 times before Pep changed it. Chelsea were 2-2 in Paris and conceded 3 in the last 15 mins. No concept of keeping it tight, taking it back home and getting the job done. PSG are a team who are unbelievable finishers too, same as last year but even better so far this year. The chances they create aren't brilliant. Chelsea created better chances in both legs.
bayern left the kids on the bench. so assuming they have any particular interest in winning you could be in luck biscuits
Arggh
And a corner too.
The march of English anti-football goes on

If backing Bayern at 1.4 was one of the bets of the season, laying Tottenham at 1.52 must be the second.
Bear me out or straighten me out ..
Liverpool’s penalty was a dishonest dive, wasn’t it?

Alverez - one of the worse sales in guardiola career

Was glad to see the back of him tbh.
He wanted to leave, at least he sold him to Spain.
Would be surprised if Liverpool or Arsenal won the CL.
Playing Kinsky in the first leg a suicidal decision. Chelsea did likewise.
Team who plays attacking football will always win knockout football.
If Arsenal win the champions league it would be a scandal of the game of football. let them just ruin english football

Did you not watch Arsenal last night? 12 shots on target to 2. Been like that in almost every CL game this season.
Played defensive in the first leg away from home. 4/4 other teams lost first leg away from home. 3/4 by 3 goals. 2 of those 3 dropped their keeper and played mugs in goal who cost them 2 goals each. But hats off to them for playing gung-ho.
Arsenal don’t play open football. They would rather not have the ball and nick it from a high press but if they must have possession Arsenal generally try to cheat a free kick or penalty, failing that play for a corner ir long-throw.
9/10 wins in the CL. They play attacking football in the CL. They are the primary reason England will get a 5th CL place next year too.
Well given the standard of Chelsea, Newcastle, Tottenham and Man City, I’d say that’s three too many.
Just as well when mugs like Pep, Rosenior and Spurs go away from home and play 'open football' and get absolutely hosed before HT in the tie.
That!s what I’m saying: Arsenal need to win it this season before UEFA legislate against their brand of body line anti-football.
Germany and Spain are the rivals for a 5th spot. Arsenal KO'd a German side. Spurs, Newc and City got KO'd by Spanish sides. Just as well Arsenal won 8/8 in the group.
The CL refs are tougher on corners. The whole of the PL is the same on set-pieces. Even Liverpool are doing it now. United too. But everyone blames Arsenal because they are better at it (not that they are scoring many from set-pieces lately). 2 unstoppable goals from outside the box last night. Bodyline anti-football, please.

Lurka your wastimg your time engaging with the Arsenal haters. Ive watch all the Arsenal CL matches and they have mostly played excellent football, both attack and defence. The PL is well the PL, many teams setup negatively week in week out. Its the way they try to survive.
The English sides did poorly this round because, apart from City, their players and managers are not experienced at this level (CL KO level) and they got KO'd by much more experienced players and managers at this level, which is massive in a 2 leg format. Pep was as bad as the others but Pep has a long track record of overthinking things in these ties and neutering City.
Look what Arsenal with Kiwior did to that Real side last year and they were missing Mbappe and Jude against City with a caretaker manager.

Athletico get dubious honour of being one of the only teams to manage to lose to Spurs. A great achievement, though sadly as pathetic as my own lay of Spurs in that one.
Never lay Spurs at home in Europe. They're unbeaten in 25 games.

I agree. Football as a spectacle will be on life support if Ars*nal somehow stumble to the CL title as well as the PL. It will be awful for the game, especially in a World Cup year. I doubt I'll watch another game of theirs till the Arteta regime has come to an end.

You can't even bring yourself to spell Arsenal's name correctly. Everybody knows what you're doing with the misspell, it's pathetic.

Extra time, extra games. We all know that nothing is set in stone, but the two competitions could be costly.
A good night for Premier League clubs in the race for extra Champions League places.
A race? The Premier League effectively needs one draw to get over the line.

Palace getting thru means City v Palace can only be played on FA cup SF weekend or later if City go thru v Liverpool. Good for Arsenal.
