Aka the night of too much football. This is the first season that the Champions League and the other two European competitions switched rom groups of four teams playing each other home and away, to a group of 36 who play each other, mostly, once. Some don't play each other at all.
The top eight go through to the round of 16. The next 16 go into a playoff round next month, the bottom 12 go home.
And all games kicked off at 20:00 GMT and promised chaos. But delivered, mostly, as expected.
Citeh had to win and hope results elsewhere went their way so they finished 24th or higher, other than that, the other three English teams were all nailed on to finish in the top eight.
Before that there was the rest of Wednesday.
Rain. Cloud. More cloud. But after a bright start, and the half arsed promised I made to do some gardening failed as the rain began to fall at two.
Jools brought home fish and chips. Sausage and chips, that is. I had brews and warm plates ready, then sat with Scully and Poppy to follow the games and the chaos.
Citeh were 1-0 down at halftime to Brugges, but fought back to win and qualify for the play-offs, winning 3-1.
