Looks like Milan Como will be played in Perth. San Siro unavailable that date, Uefa ok. Great access for Como’s Indonesian association and Australian Italians. Grim precedent for football but before we judge this is an environment where clubs are desperate to compete financially; this a symptom

if that HIGNFY Euan Blair fuckup had been about a right-winger it'd have had full front-page scandal coverage in the Mail followed by frontpage coverage across the board for the next week, days of "BBC in crisis" headline coverage by the BBC, and parliamentary questions about Tim Davie's future

Another fantastic performance from Modric in #SerieA

Jonathan David feels at risk of being a comedy disaster signing. His time at #Juventus sp far has been calamitous

The number of people that have bought into this idea that the UK is a repressive anti free speech regime is infuriating. Having Americans saying it is absolutely outrageous. Brits agreeing is moronic. Sick of them all

NFL social media posted a clip of Pixie Lott singing the UK national anthem with the flag unfurling. Every single comment under it is a variation of surprised she didn't get arrested, or cant wave the flag in the Americans. I thought ironically but no. Exactly why NFL has to do one at the moment

What is Lloyd Kelly doing there #JuveMilan

I am not a Celtic supporter, but I have to say this is wonderful. 👏👏👏 (from Bullsquirt on Reddit)

Don't think there's an issue in Conte benching de Bruyne. Give him a rest. I do think there's an issue in Conte accommodating him and McTominay that isn't working

It was just too comfortable for Wimbledon v Blackpool. 7 wins from 11 though is incredible. As for Blackpool..Steve Bruce's last gig surely #efl

#afcwimbledon dominant at Bloomfield Road. Which is fair reward for my nightmare journey up last night. Blackpool jeered off at half time. Need to see it out

In Blackpool...can they play in this window?!

Did anyone know Wrexham are owned by guys from Hollywood and Birmingham have a tenuous association with a retired NFL quarterback and that there mutual astonishing spending is a lovely story for English football. I hadn't heard.

Absolutely astonished @hignfy.bsky.social just stated that Multiverse will be running the government's digital ID scheme An incredibly basic failure of fact-checking fullfact.org/technology/d...

Soule missing a pen compounding a real off night from Roma. Bologna also need to learn to win home games unlike last year. Worry about them with their draw.

Get rid of multiple ownership. If you are serious about protecting football in all your member associations and its diverse cultural significance and serious about the integrity of sporting competition you cannot have multi ownership like this. Farm teams. Uefa must stop cowering

Roma poor at home tonLille first half. Evan Ferguson deeply unimpressive again imo

In general Serie A sides have an issue in Europe with starting games slowly and being taken surprise by an opposition that goes at them from kick off. Happens time a d time again. I think its part complacency part that Italian games don't tend to start gung ho.

Qarabağ spent just €900k in the transfer window. They've just made €4.2m from 2 matches in the UCL and that's before revenue and tv money prize money. No one else will win the Azeri league again

Juventus at Real Madrid next. Then Sporting at home and up to the plastic ice pitch in the arctic circle end November. May well rue missing those 2 pts

Two good games VillarrealJuventus and NapoliSporting. Neither Italian side impressed, both looked shaky. De Bruyne and Højlund enough for Napoli. Juventus can't defend (which is something that wasnt uttered for 100 years)

The irony of Brady bigging up the EFL's "underdog stories" while Birmingham and Wrexham's mega-spending damages the chances of genuine underdog stories emerging www.theguardian.com/football/202...

What an overhead goal Gatti.

Jonathan David with an astonishing miss. Astonishing. Boy does he need a performance already as he has not hit the ground running for #Juventus

No one ever wins with a back 3 in the champions league and no one should play with a back 3 like Juventus'. Koopmeiners needs to come off too. Awful. Last year Juve had 100s of midfielders now they look so short

Really lovely Napoli goal.

Juventus absolutely diabolical at Villarreal. Their horrendous defence is exposed in the UCL even against a team which isn't that good. Without Bremer its a car crash.

Uefa didn't have to give us more Barcelona v PSG. Do more to make more teams competitive again, bring in jeopardy.

It’s hard to contemplate losing the iconic sight of the Giuseppe Meazza San Siro. I had hoped they could find a way to renovate but it probably is impossible. The stadium is totally unfit for modern purpose. Crumbling. No hospitality on site. Basically no food/drink. Awful toilets and access & seats

There should never be 6 PL teams in one competition. Not if you have any concern about competitive balance and the integrity of the competition

In this jeopardy light #champions league format you have to win your easier fixtures and home games..winning is everything. every team that won their first 2 matches last season progressed to knockouts

The questionable spending (on commissions and wages as much as anything) by Marseille looks to be bearing fruit. Paixao was an incredible signing. Beating PSG now winning in the UCL.

Ajax are a sad state of affairs. A club whose model and circumstances were totally unfit for the modern football landscape

Id love to see data on stoppage time given in games featuring Premier Legue teams in the UCL

Pio Esposito the young Inter striker looks like he could become a really good footballer. Italy will be hoping he is their striking future

Two straight Asian Champions League group stage defeats for Al Ittihad (Saudi Arabia) is just funny. Should be romping

Someone is going to sign Hauge again, probably from thr Prem, even though he doesn't work away from Bodø

When you go to to Bodø on that awful pitch you have to get on top, dominate early. You cant let them get into their rhythm of effervescent quick interchange passing

In the end an excellent result in difficult circumstances in terms of their squad/injuries for Atalanta. 17yr old defender Ahonor really good. Kamaldeen changed the game. Lots of work to do for them (midfield, moving the ball quicker and not losing defensive shape), but they got over the line. #UCL
