Another famous European night at the Aspmyra Stadion.

History for Bodø/Glimt as they reach the Europa League last 16.

Two goals in extra time for 5-2 on the night and 6-4 on aggregate over FC Twente.

What an insane end to Bodø/Glint v FC Twente!

Three goals in added time.

3-2 on the night. 4-4 on aggregate.

Onto extra time. 😅

FC Magdeburg finally win a home league game at the 11th time of asking.

3-0 against 2. Bundesliga leaders FC Köln too.

Last night was the first time in 11 years that Chelsea came back to win a game at Stamford Bridge after trailing at halftime.

Here’s the starting XI the last time that happened:

Chelsea 3-1 Southampton, 1/12/2013.

Kiera Walsh to Chelsea 👀

One win in nine games. Four defeats in a row. Surely that’s the end of Nuri Sahin at Borussia Dortmund?
January 21, 2025 at 9:59 PM
All of the “elite” squad building from the Chelsea board and they've ended the game tonight with a CB at RB, a RB at LB, a LB at RCM, a youth academy LW at RW, and a youth loan recall they were desperate to get rid of as their best CB.
January 20, 2025 at 9:56 PM
Sahin’s time has got to be up soon. Surely?
FT | Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 Borussia Dortmund - it was a nervy end but SGE hold on to take the win with goals from Ekitike & Højlund as Toppmöller's side strengthen their grip on 3rd. Another underwhelming performance from BVB that only livened up with the introduction of Couto.

Donyell Malen to Aston Villa is an interesting move.

Could be a bargain at £20 million, but he has been a shell of himself for Dortmund this season (created only one chance).

Will need to step up his game massively to make an impact in the Premier League.

BROMLEYYYY

I'm beating a dead horse here, but removing replays from the FA Cup is the most blatant bending to the big teams in English football history.

Tamworth robbed of millions, their fans of a huge day out, and their players of the chance to play in a huge stadium.

Hate it.

The most embarrassingly drawn-out saga finally ends with West Ham sacking Julen Lopetegui.

Although he didn’t do a great job, West Ham's treatment of him this week has been nothing short of a disgrace.

A staple feature for marathon training this year.

Got me through several pain caves.

Still not over the Eurovision robbery.
