UEFA Champions League 2018/19

[Baddar]

Inter v Spurs followed by Liverpool v PSG is a cracking first CL night.

[FLiam]

Why are the Inter/Spurs and Barcelona/PSV games kicking off at 5.55pm? 

What is this nonsense?

Kick off times changed to 5.55 and 8pm for some reason.

More eyes on more games, I'm guessing.

But, so many people finish work at 5 or 5.30. 

Dumb.

Obviously no concern about the match-going supporters as per usual.

Add Spurs to an ever-growing list of teams that don’t look comfortable at this “playing out from the back” at every opportunity. 

[Baddar]

Well its 6.55 in a lot of other countries so they won't be too concerned about the UK. 

I've got BT so I'm happy I get to (potentially) see two big games a night instead of having to choose between them.

They should be though really. Surely the UK is one of the biggest markets particularly when it comes to games involving British sides like this Spurs one.

[Baddar]

But apparently, viewers in Asia won't have to stay up as late to see the top European sides when it comes to the early kick offs.

1-0 Spurs, deflected Eriksen strike.

Think the home games here work out as all being 8pm. So it shouldn't be too bad. 

If it's done like Europa League that is as whenever Liverpool were home we played at 8:05pm 

 

Positive news is Firmino is on the bench after the dirty Sol Campbell that is Vertonghen tried to poke through his eye and to the other side of Bobby's skull

[Baddar]

Yeah I don't think any of the English sides have 5.55pm home games.

Much better 2nd half here. Spurs just as likely to get another goal as Inter are to equalise.

You there tonight BTW @DavidMarrio?

[Lineker]

Bloody Icardi.

[Baddar]

Wow, Icardi 1-1.

[Cymbols]

What a goal

[MDK]

Spurs gonna Spurs.

[Baddar]

Messi has 2 as Barca are coasting against PSV. Apparently the 14th CL campaign he's scored in.

Edit: He has his hat trick now, 4-0.

[MDK]

C'mon Inter, save my bet!

[Baddar]

Oooo, almost. 

Sturridge instead of Firmino for Liverpool tonight.

Inter win it!!!

[stokeriño]

2-1

[Cymbols]

Wow. Hell of a finish to this one.

[MDK]

Boom. An entire £5.50.

[Baddar]

Mountain to climb for Spurs in the group now. Positive result required against Barca next.
