Well, THAT was embarrassing.

Thierry Henry appears to not be a very good manager at the outset here.

I'm not sure which is worse. A 0-4 loss at home to Club Brugge or a 2-0 loss away to Red Star.

0-4 at home easy. Red Star isn't exactly the easiest place to play. They got a draw against Napoli, who we've seen is pretty damn good.

The owner must’ve made a killing on that Red Star/Under parlay

As always, I’m going to delay the banter train until after we’ve played.

Zoet for PSV looks like Simon Mignolet’s evil twin. Or maybe his GOOD twin. 🤔

Good match by Spurs. Great persistence.

His first goal was to select the right job, and I don't know if he did that. Jardim seemed to be doing what he could with what he was left.

Henry should've perhaps kept waiting for something else.

I really hate to say it about a Spurs player, but Harry Kane is honestly incredible. He's a legitimate phenom and won't ever get the credit he deserves until after he retires, because he's not flashy or speedy like Mbappe/Neymar/Salah etc.

Speed has this ability to make players just look more impressive, which also means players without it tend to look less impressive.

Kane is an outrageous talent. He stays fit for even 70-80% of the rest of his career and probably ALL of Shearers records are going down. Guy is absolutely bonkers and I hate that he's at Tottenham.

He's deceptively quick in a way—perhaps not in a dead sprint, but he can make quick movements so well.

Also, his passing range is ridiculous—I think that's what annoys me about him the most. He'll receive a pass 20m outside the box, on the left flank and then put in a world class cross onto whichever foot he prefers of a teammate.

But he's a stupid mouth-breather.

I will not stand for this Harry Kane praise.

He sucks *** through a straw.

Using whichever foot he feels like crossing it with because it doesn’t seem to matter.

I'm ****ing dying of laughter here, I can't breathe.

Brilliant attacking by Sterling to apply pressure inside the box, but absolutely horrific tackle from Sterling...went right into Sterling’s legs.
