You know what really pisses me off? When you post as innocent a question in your local cities subreddit such as ‘Any recommendations for a repair for my tumble dryer that just broke down’
And the first reply you get is someone sharing a link to where you can buy a ‘learn Dutch’ book

If ever a Champions League scenario called for a 'just play whoever and get through to Saturday XI' it's this one and Arteta has delivered.

Quite how the women only ended 1-0 I’ll never know, but was good to see us attack consistently throughout the 2nd half and look for the 2nd, rather than sit back and hope we hold on
I’ll take any encouraging sign I can find

Think it was probably 1 emotional game too far for us this week and we got dragged into the scrap that they wanted
Was really wishing for the win at half time but zooming out, 7/9 is hardly a disaster. So long as we win on wednesday

Chelsea and Taylor are going to do everything in their power to even this up
Cool and smart heads, get to half time, make changes where possible

I know it's cynical but when Cucurella clatters Saka and gets away without a booking, not entirely sure Zubi should be getting one...
Just a quiet word and a 'Youve both had one, no more'

Hincapie was awesome last weekend, and I really rate Mosquera, but not having the best CB partnership in the league for a trip to Stamford Bridge is a problem...

I cannot believe how good we are now. That Bayern team is scary good, by a distance the best side I've seen play us this season
And we monstered them in that second half, I'm lost for words

I like that sub. This isnt a semi final we need to win, it'll suck to lose but it's not gonna make or break the league phase for us and we've got high level options

This is just an excellent game of football, I'm quite fine with Upemacano not getting a second yellow but rather a 'final warning'. Good, common sense refereeing to keep players on the pitch I think

Bayern are far and away the best side we've played all season, and I don't think it's especially close
