I still don't understand why people listen to that station, particularly Brazil just to get all bent out of shape on his takes and that of his cabal.

My tip. Alan Brazil is a xenophobic at best, misogynist with an outdated view on mental health and sexuality. By and large he surrounds himself with like minded individuals. If you don't like those views don't listen.

Pretty much this the radio station is unpalatable from 0600-1300. Brazil and Jim White are the two biggest egotistical, arrogant, hypocrites and anglophobic presenters you can get. The station itself is hypocritical, you have Brazil who almost boasts about his alcohol intake and betting habits whilst it’s regularly had shows warning people of the dangers of both.

I hope the Leeds players know what they are doing because I haven’t got a clue. This 3-3-1-3 is bizzare

Classic Bielsa. His incredible Chile team played this, but these lot are a far cry from that.

Going well for Spurs...

The honeymoon period is over. Mourinho's Spurs are two down at home to Olympiakos...

Eric Dier off after just 28 mins

 

[BillyDee]

Absolute comedy defending from the Greeks lets them back in...

Ouch. When Mourinho hooks, he hooks without mercy.

Great assist from the ball boy for the equaliser...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Spurs back to 2 each. The change seems to have worked!

In other news, Juventus beating Atletico (if it sticks) leaves Atleti vulnerable to dropping into the Europa. Unlikely to happen, but I would really REALLY hope they don't as they would be suddenly the outstanding favourite for the competition.

And Mourinho gives him a seat on the bench to say thank you

Some VAR fun in the Real Madrid - PSG game it seems:

Scenes in Madrid
Real keeper Thibaut Courtois comes flying off his line and brings down Mauro Icardi. The referee sends Courtois off and gives a free-kick to PSG just outside the box.

But there is a VAR check to see if the foul was in the box - and it definitely was.

But as everyone waits for the penalty to be awarded, the referee spots a shove by Idrissa Gueye on Marcelo in midfield in the build-up to the move.

So everything is wiped out. No red card, no penalty, not even a free-kick to PSG.

Real lead 1-0 at the break.

3-2 now. Great comeback from Spurs

 

[BillyDee]

Pick that out! Bit of fortune with the nod on after Deli retains possession, but maybe the honeymoon is extended..?

 

[BillyDee]

Yep, honeymoon still going strong...

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

4-2 now. Spurs absolutely dominant, perfect free kick comes in for Kane to head home

 

[BillyDee]

Being shocked when Olympiacos sub on a player with the shirt number 97.
Being even more shocked when realising that is probably his year of birth...

Mourinho has just started his press bit with BT by apologising to Dier for taking him off. Not sure if that makes it worse tbh but I suppose the result justifies it

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Valencia v Chelsea was a superb game.
