[Psycho Ned]

Crikey that could have gone in off Reya or anywhere!

 

[omnomnom]

How did that not go in.

 

[scarps]

Porto Keeper looks so small.

 

[Basill]

So close

 

[Robbo]

Fair play, good saves by Raya

 

[The_One]

Raya!!

Lets go!!

Finally a keeper who can save a pen, ramsdale ive never ever seen save a pen lol

 

[kamz]

RAYAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!

 

[Basill]

14 year wait

 

[Robbo]

What's Arteta doing?!

 

[manic111]

Tell you what, Ramsdale going over and giving Raya a massive hug. Genuinely seems like one of the nicest guys in the sport.

 

[Trusty]

Good practice for later in the tournament.

Not sure what Martin is on about, they got through by the skin of their teeth, Porto normally get battered by 5 by English teams.

First time back in a while and perhaps a bit nervy, they'll need to be a lot better in the next round to go anywhere though.

Their penalties were pretty great as expected based on recent ones. Porto, all bar one were pretty rubbish

Should be very helpful for the 5th place CL spot too. 2 teams in the quarters and Liverpool very likely winning the Europa

Keown is just pure cringe, can’t stand him as a pundit

The bare minimum required tbh. They take the average coefficient points of all sides from one country so we were already playing catch-up thanks to the 2 Utd's and there's a good chance both West Ham and Brighton could go out early in the Europa meaning Liverpool, Arsenal and City would have to go very deep or the Germans collapse.

Ironic that utd bailing out the champs league in glorious fashion could also hamper them qualifying if they got 5th in the league

Quite enjoying Arsenal squeaking through to the quarter finals... and relying on a Brentford player to get them there.
