Another famous European night at the Aspmyra Stadion.

History for BodΓΈ/Glimt as they reach the Europa League last 16.

Two goals in extra time for 5-2 on the night and 6-4 on aggregate over FC Twente.

What an insane end to BodΓΈ/Glint v FC Twente!

Three goals in added time.

3-2 on the night. 4-4 on aggregate.

Onto extra time. πŸ˜…

Last night was the first time in 11 years that Chelsea came back to win a game at Stamford Bridge after trailing at halftime.

Here’s the starting XI the last time that happened:

Chelsea 3-1 Southampton, 1/12/2013.

One win in nine games. Four defeats in a row. Surely that’s the end of Nuri Sahin at Borussia Dortmund?

All of the β€œelite” squad building from the Chelsea board and they've ended the game tonight with a CB at RB, a RB at LB, a LB at RCM, a youth academy LW at RW, and a youth loan recall they were desperate to get rid of as their best CB.

Sahin’s time has got to be up soon. Surely?

Donyell Malen to Aston Villa is an interesting move.

Could be a bargain at Β£20 million, but he has been a shell of himself for Dortmund this season (created only one chance).

Will need to step up his game massively to make an impact in the Premier League.

I'm beating a dead horse here, but removing replays from the FA Cup is the most blatant bending to the big teams in English football history.

Tamworth robbed of millions, their fans of a huge day out, and their players of the chance to play in a huge stadium.

Hate it.

The most embarrassingly drawn-out saga finally ends with West Ham sacking Julen Lopetegui.

Although he didn’t do a great job, West Ham's treatment of him this week has been nothing short of a disgrace.

It’s as simple as being back near the top of the table. The majority of fans won’t look any deeper than that.

A staple feature for marathon training this year.

Got me through several pain caves.

Still not over the Eurovision robbery.
