Lads I can't believe what I'm seeing

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

banger free kick, that

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Rice what a fucking hit, take a bow my man

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

😭 fucking hell worth every fucking penny this guy

Had that look in his eyes, my man was either going to score or blow a hole through Courtois' gloves

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

you don't fucking save those

You literally can't, unless you're a 10' tall stickbug or you cheat too far to the left

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

AND WE GET TIERNEY? THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

I'm actually surprised Camavinga got punished. Maybe because the match was beyond salvaging.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It was an incredibly stupid yellow to get

Saka just did the impossible. Won a free kick off this ref.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Here. We. Fucking. Go.

DIRECT FREE KICK GANG LET'S GO

[–] Aesecakes@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago
[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 4 points 1 week ago

Speechless. Doing that once is impressive, doing it twice is just unreal

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't watch it because I'm at work and need to concentrate. But my mate just let me know about the next two goals!! Holy fucking shit! This is amazing!!!

THREE NIL TO THE ARSENAL!!!

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.funami.tech 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I had to maintain my composure through an all-hands meeting. LET'S FUCKING GO

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Haha, you deserve a bloody medal for that, mate!

Can't even imagine what would have happened if I'd had to talk, Christ

I had an inkling that Merino would start ahead of Trossard, but this is still hilarious

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Bloody hell 😭😭😭 this is some good news after the whole afternoon of fuckery

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Sorry to hear that, mate. We're here for ya.

DEEEEEEEECLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pls we don't need Timber injured again. Or anyone, for that matter.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.funami.tech 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think it's inevitable tonight. Ref is letting Madrid get away with murder, and we're going to see numerous publications telling us to stop whining when 's season is over.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

Amen to that. They're going to kick us about all night.

We already knew this ref was a Madridista, but this is ridiculous man. Twice in 10 seconds, right in front of you!

Benny Blanco off to see off Los Blancos

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

one club mentality, we're gonna lose the next leg 2-0 and still go through to the semi lol

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.funami.tech 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

MLS: tries to get up but can't because Bellingham wants an autograph
Bellingham: HE TRIED TO KILL ME

What a fucking goal!!!

And all the gooners at the stadium have turned our place into a proper fortress. The noise level is unreal.

When Saka came on the other day, I heard that they measured the stadium at 103 dB. At that level you can potentially risk hearing loss after 4 minutes of exposure (iirc). Might be even louder today.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Someone's gonna score one today. Not sure if it's us, though.

Jover before kickoff: "Alright boys, gather round. I've been keeping a secret from you for a while and it doesn't feel right to let it go on any longer. ... Free kicks are also set pieces."

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

ANOTHER ONE

Alright lads, you reckon if we get 5-0 we can play the kids in Madrid?

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

ah fuck off they're getting away with everything, we get nothing

It was always going to be like this. Imagine how bad it's going to be in Madrid. We might actually see an ankle-breaker. And then the Arsenal player gets a red while being stretchered off.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

NO FUCKING WAY HES DONE IT AGAIN

7-1 again, run it back

Someone's getting their leg broken today.

Camavinga betting with Carlo how many tackles he can get away with unpunished

Cool beans. "Arsenal can't afford to let Mbappe have a chance". Fam, he was offside. By definition we didn't let him do anything.

[–] nuggsy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe Partey can pull on some old Madrid rivalry and play his pants off

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't know if I want Partey having his pants off...

LOL SOMEONE BREATHED ON A MADRID PLAYER

I'm furious and not even surprised that we get the first booking of the night.
