I'm at Solihull tonight for the u21s, I'll try to post, should have a decent signal as there is an O2 5g mast next to the ground.

Random fact; in the time since Chris wilder was sacked by Sheff Utd and then re-employed again by Utd. Aston Villa have failed to score a goal.

Hope it continues for the next 3 weeks!

Is there any way to watch the game online?

Anyone know the lineup for ourselves vs Solihull Motors?

Why have the Carabao games been split over two weeks?

To do with the teams playing in Champions League this week and Villa, Palace and Forest play this week due to Europa League and Conference League playing next week.

I suppose we had the option for this week or next week and must have preferred next week to give us a full free week before Forest on Saturday.

Struggling to see where the defender could have put his arm for Real Madrid's second penalty and winner tonight against lesser club Marseille

We are playing our tie next week because Cardiff had a game tonight at Exeter.

Totally agree. I can't be doing with this "interpretation" of handball. The poor bloke makes a great tackle in the box - a huge risk in itself - the ball then bounces up and hits his arm.

Total joke.

Swansea just denied a penalty by Marley. You can bet had it been at the other end it would have been given.

I thought he was going to get a trademark goal with one of them, the one the goalkeeper fumbled.

Forest too strong 0-2

Athletico pull one back against Liverpool. I’d be wanting offside if that was scored against us.

How many stoppage time winners does that make it for Liverpool this season already? I know Virgil, you just keep going

They mentioned it on the highlights programme and I'm sure it was something like 6 late goals. They've been given Leeds' luck.

Cheshireclaret · Post by **Cheshireclaret** » Thu Sep 18, 2025 10:46 am

4 goals after 90 minutes, with 3 of those being outright winners including last night; 6 goals beyond 80 minutes with the 83rd minute goal against Arsenal being a winner and the 88th minute goal against Bournemouth setting up the 4-2 win (Salah scored in the 94th minute); 3 times this season they have thrown way 2 goal leads but still gone on to win the matches.

Reminiscent of Fergie's reign at United with the late goals (albeit they weren't known for throwing away sizeable leads) - you make your own luck and fitness plus squad depth surely come into it?

ollieclarets8 · Post by **ollieclarets8** » Thu Sep 18, 2025 5:50 pm

Newcastle vs Barcelona this evening.

Worth a watch?

Quite surprised to see Newcastle as slight favourites.

Their earliest winning goal this season was 83 minutes against Arsenal. They’ve scored in stoppage time in every other game.
