    I don't have All Access but CBS Sports is bouncing around the 7 matches. Antwerp goalie just had a howler. Saw a happy Unai Emery after the Villareal goal.

    Have missed the past 25 minutes... and the NASA feed... as they announced the evacuation of our office. Will need a few mins to get back online.

    OK, I'm caught up now. Fast-forwarding and watching the Mars rover land successfully meant that my attention was a little thing in 1T.

    But we shoulda been up by 1 or 2 goals but Cedric's bone-headed pass almost gave them the lead right before HT.

    Our skill level looks a notch better than them. But it's all about end-product baby.

    And now we give up a PK? How can they call that a handball??????

    Shit 1-0 to Benfica after a really dubious PK call IMHO.

    His arm was up, but I'm not sure it ever hit his arm.

    Although ESR didn't protest.

    1-1! Saka after some nice tenacious build-up

    Edit: it even survived a VAR review. Not sure why... he was VERY onside. Anyway, phew!

    Yeah, plus for me throw in shoveling 5" of new snow in a big driveway, and dealing with contractors who are gutting/repairing part of my house after a frozen pipe burst.

    Everything got squeezed today, but Arsenal have my attention NOW!

    Let's go and land this mission just like NASA did a half hour ago. That was cool, even with the necessary animation.

    64' Auba with his second big miss. Not as easy as the one in 1T but still he shoulda buried that. I guess the cobwebs aren't all gone for him.

    And now Tierney is back!!! Replaces Cedric. Hope they're not rushing things.
     
    GunnerJacket repped this.

    Auba really needs to have buried one of the 2, but the main thing is that Odegaard has looked and nearly found him twice this half.
    Need that second goal.

    Ceballos is having an amazing game. Smart passing, some great through balls and laying a heap of tackles.

    I just noticed Vertonghen on their side. Did a double take. Guess I haven't been paying close enough attention huh?

    I hope someone turns him inside out and scores our go-ahead goal. Saka or ESR perhaps?

    20 mins to go.... COME ON!

    15 mins to go... we're pushing it around in our own half with lots of sideways and backwards passes.

    PLEASE don't tell me Arteta is settling for an away draw, with an away goal. PLEASE?

    We wouldn't be but we have shanked some great chances.

    We should be up by 2 or 3.

    Tierney with a god awful cross there. I guess that's why he's getting these minutes... to shake some of that rust off.

    Elneny and Willian coming on for Ceballos and Odegaard.

    I assume we want to lose?
