      Toyed with Arsenal, just watch Bobby's ridiculous flick:



      Mo was unplayable as well.

        Antoinne Greizmann blew into Camp Nou vs. Betis and had a great brace, as well as an assist, while Messi and Suarez watched from the stands. (5-2). I guess Barca is in the lead in the arms race in La Liga, lol.

            He scored the first one, where it looked like Barca was just not in sync, but it was a good effort by Fekir.. After that, it was pretty much all Barca, except for another fade out in garbage time.

              He was all but signed for Liverpool, even to the point the interview and announcement pictures were done, but the medical revealed a bad knee and all big clubs have stayed away since. Hope he has a good career and at the least continues to play for France. Come to think of it, he does have a world cup medal that a ton of fantastic players will never sniff, so not all bad.

                Champions League draw is complete and the winner for the 10th consecutive year is, of course the cheats: Man Citeh. Not sure who gets the winning draw next year if the cheats actually do get punished with a years banishment from UEFA competitions, but likelihood is that they'll just pay off UEFA before they get rightfully banned. Not that the easy draw helps them much, they just continue to fall to the first good team they face in the knockouts year after year.

                GROUP A: PSG, Real Madrid, Club Brugge, Galatasaray
                GROUP B: Bayern Munich, Tottenham, Olympiakos, Red Star Belgrade
                GROUP C: Man City, Shakhtar Donetsk, Dinamo Zagreb, Atalanta
                GROUP D: Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, Lokomotiv Moscow
                GROUP E: Champions of Europe (6X), Napoli, FC Salzburg, Genk
                GROUP F: Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan, Slavia Prague
                GROUP G: Zenit St Petersburg, Benfica, Lyon, RB Leipzig
                GROUP H: Chelsea, Ajax, Valencia, Lille

                Group F looks to be the only mini 'Group of Death' where one of Barca, Dortmund or Inter will be sent to Europa. Inter is good and has Conte now.
                Groups C and G are the least interesting, by far.
                Ajax got a pretty good draw, can continue their exploits with some luck. Juve-Atletico and PSG-Real Madrid will be fun games, as will Napoli-Liverpool again. Alisson, the 2018/19 UEFA Keeper award winner, made the save of the tournament in extra time vs. Napoli that eliminated the Italians and propelled the beautiful Reds to Number 6. LETS GO!

                  Burnley v. The Champions of Europe - Perfect start to the season is on the line at Turf Moor. Burnley is having one of those seasons, really difficult to break down and Ashley Barnes is killing it early in the season. Hopefully no complacency sets in for the Reds, Burnley is a team that gives the top teams trouble and this season doesn't have the Europa League distraction they did last season. Draw with Wolves at Wolverhampton last week should have been a win, Wolves got an extra time equalizer. Very impressive. Can't stand Burnley and Sean Dyche.
                  Southampton vs. Manchester UnitedChelsea v. Sheffield United - Should be a fun game for neutrals. Sheffield United doesn't really sit back, even away. Chelsea in an open game at Stamford Bridge should get the 3 points.
                  Man City v. Brighton - Good luck Albion. You'll need it. Just don't ship more than 3 goals please.
                  Arsenal v. Spurs - The last game on Sunday before the international break, and its a great match up, the North London Derby. Arsenal saw their perfect start to the season come to a crashing halt, completely outclassed at Anfield while Spurs were beaten by Newcastle at home. A loss by Arsenal would make it two losses in a row and send them into mini-crises mode and a poor result by Spurs would see them at 4 points (loss) or 5 points (draw) after 4 matches, which would be full crises mode. Either way, will be fun!

                  LETS GO YOU REDS!

                    Right score, but v. Man City, not Liverpool. PUKKI!!!!! What a game, what a result! PUKKI!

                      I thought they would take a scalp or two from big 6 teams. Wasn't thinking City though. Billion dollar roster vs 10 mil(?) Roster. I think Norwich stays up. They are fun to watch

                        Pukki appears to be the real deal, really calm in all the chaos in front of goal. Really enjoyed that performance and you were right about Daniel Farke. He could be poached but ten Hag is the hot name at the moment, and deservedly so. Hopefully Ole does enough at United that he keeps his job!

                          Norwich starting 11 Saturday cost $7mil and Man City"s was over $400 mil. The money divide in EPL is ridiculous. Man City has over $1billion invested in players. You could buy Norwich"s whole operation including stadium for less than $75mil. Seriously you can actually look at their books since they are publicly traded. Something like 80% of teams in top 4 leagues in U.K. operate at a loss. It's not sustainable as it's being run now. At some point there will need to be a super league for the top teams in Europe.
