for getting a home draw.
We'll give you a little medallion.
We'll send it over to you.
I think Arsenal are probably strong favourites now with that result.
I would still fancy Liverpool.
Yeah, Liverpool too because I thought Galatasaray looked...
particularly I know Liverpool didn't score but I mean that first 10-15 minutes of that game was completely bonkers I mean Galatasaray gave it away their defenders were slipping I mean we can talk about that now I think it seems to me that these pitches now the way they're done there's a little bit of a mix aren't there between grass and astroturf almost in a way and I think they're a bit firmer so they heavily water them before the game because they don't like the ball sticking it slows the game down
It was quite three or four of the games players were falling over.
I mean, obviously Spurs being the most dramatic, we'll come to that shortly.
But it was the same, Galatasaray falling over at the back trying to play out.
So, yeah, it was a slightly odd thing that's going on at the moment.
I think it's just the heavy watering they must be doing before.
I can't think of any, because it seems that then after 15, 20 minutes, it turns to normal.
Why are they doing that?
food down the wing I'm telling you let's put something on social media the difference between studs and mould it makes you feel different that was around my day and it's always been I mean the thing is we played in a lot of bogs and mud baths and stuff you had no choice but I hated the feeling of not being able to turn really quickly to dig my feet in and churn so yes they're more comfortable moulding they always have been but
I mean, if they're going to give away a couple of goals because you're falling over.
I thought the most probably surprising for me was Real Madrid thumping City.
I mean, that first half was extraordinary.
