Sporting just knocked Arsenal out of Europa on pens.

Sporting tied the match and tie with this stunner:

Well, there’ll be either a Portuguese or Italian team in the final for the first time in 7/19 years (13/19 years if we don’t count Juve). Should be interesting.

That is quite the draw results - Well, I guess I'm rooting for Bayern

I’d like Benfica to get to the final (the coefficient points would help Portugal a lot as the Dutch League are on their asses) but I’d really like to see Napoli fuck everybody up. Always liked Spaletti and they’re incredibly fun to watch.

Really mad at Porto now for not getting through, could’ve had O Classico in the damn Champions League.

Sacking a guy named Patrick on St. Patrick's day...Who wants the job at Crystal Palace?

Crystal Palace have sacked manager Patrick Vieira after a 12-match winless run. Palace have not won a match in 2023 and were beaten 1-0 by Brighton in the Premier League on Wednesday, their third defeat in a row.

They are 12th in the table but are only three points above 18th-placed Bournemouth, who have a game in hand. "It is with enormous regret that this difficult decision has been made," chairman Steve Parish said.

Pretty crazy game at St. Mary's - Spurs had a 3-1 lead, 3-3 now as JWP ties it with a PK.

You never know, that could be an important point in the Saints battle to avoid relegation.

VAR is so so bad, Saints have been on the wrong end of so many decisions, soccer gods trying to level the field.

Uh…I think Conte’s pissed.

Is there another sports team on earth that destroys their managers as bad as Spurs does?

Woof - Are there so few quality managers in English football that Nathan Jones is the betting favorite? Maybe he should bide his time and wait for the opening at Tottenham lol
