Not sure if Fenerbahce will be allowed to play, CAS will decide it before the first leg.

My understanding was that they don't meet until thursday, with a final decision to come after the return leg.

And what happens if they're guilty? Arsenal faces a new team?

I guess Arsenal advances as the playoff matches are over.

Kharkiv went to the CAS again yesterday with a decision today...

They meet Wednesday and Thursday but you are right about the decision.

The CL is always more exciting with 4 epl teams in the tourny imo. Liverpool need to get back in the top 4

meh

I do that in my sleep




I mean in my dreams

[IronMaxipad]

Damn i didn't even see the second goal



Both Real Sociedad goals were sick

[symple19]

Can't help but wonder how many of those starters aren't 100%. I'd say Sagna, Gibbs, Ramsey, Rosicky, and Cazorla are all below that percentage.

[symple19]

Anyway, time to dispatch these dirty Turkish cheaters

[symple19]

And Jack is down...

[symple19]

Koscielny coming off after being kicked in the face. Jenks coming on with Sagna to CB

[symple19]

Looking forward to seeing that GIF of him getting rocked in the face.

Despite the Wilshere scare and Kosc coming off, the Gunners look dominant.

Cazorla seems sharp, and Ramsey/Wilshere are doing a good job of holding the middle

[symple19]

Det goal... Aaron Ramsey making happen! Gorgeous!!!

[symple19]

Wow. I think there's a boot to the face conspiracy against Arsenal

[symple19]

Ramsey = Boss

Dude has been amazing.

[symple19]

[symple19]

ahahahahahahahahahaha

Giroud!!!

[lefty]

Ramsey has been beasting lately lol

And what's with Arsenal players dying every week lol

So, Suarez........
