As someone who lives on the western side of the Atlantic, wtf does "chin horses" mean?

 

Headbutt.

 

I was hoping for something way more funny. Damn.

 

The context being there's a famous video of a Newcastle fan punching a police horse

 

I don’t believe you

 

Yeah, it's not a broader expression - just an embarrassing post-Tyne & Wear derby event. Do horses wear riot gear outside of England? I've only ever seen it there, and at least never here living in Toronto.

 

Fuck Juve but what a goal.

 

Only would have been made better had he been so confident he'd picked the corner when he hit it that he wheeled away earlier to celebrate.

 

Now this is an idea. Felt compelled to try it myself and it was quite satisfying.

 

I forgot about the second leg of Barca-United. This Barca line-up definitely screams “we had some folks get injured.”

 

Yeah, extremely defensive lineup

 

weak-ass pen lmao

 

Thank fuck

 

Just not clicking for United so far. Sancho at 10 feels a bit lightweight. All trying to be a bit intricate.

Needs to be a change. Weghorst at 10, Rashford up front. Maybe even Sabitzer for a bit of physicality.

 

Definitely. I've honestly only seen him touch the ball once. Watch him go on and score now...

 

MY BOOOOOIIIIII

 

Just got done with a work project to see we’re losing again. Classic.

 

Not to be a sore winner, but are Barca going to be able to keep the lights on now that they’ve been knocked out of Europe so quickly?

 

Flop of the season scoring the winner against the best team in La Liga

no but seriously so proud and happy with the team

 

Now if you can have an emotional let down this weekend in the cup final, we Newcastle fans would be eternally grateful...

 

Ten Hag is cooking something special at United, can do no wrong this year. So weird having total confidence the manager will sort things out even when things are going wrong

 

bring on the Toon!

 

I can never understand why UCL puts so much time in between legs in the R16. Why not switch it up and allow more time in between legs in the later stages of the tournament.

 

It’s not great for it, but Barca is still on for a domestic treble which probably helps.

 

Get in, Shakhtar.
