2013/14 UEFA Champions League

It sure does. It says "they thrashed a shit team from an incredibly weak league"

That's being fair to Celtic. Their league is beyond weak.

Messi = a guaranteed win :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shg7EB8_b6M

Ok Celtic was a bad example.

Did anyone watch El Clasico this year? Real played very well, however, Barca were simply better than them. That is what Barca are capable of with a full team on the park. I don't think that City could've put in a performance better than Real (again, my 2 cents).

If you watch the highlights, what separates the 2 teams is that Barca tend to keep cool under pressure, where as Real tend to crack. Barca have not been the same team ever since Guardiola left, however that being said, still have the same nucleus and playing style.

This is the last I will say on the matter, like I said everyone has an opinion.

In my view, 6 of the ties are a foregone conclusion with only Barca/City and Atleti/Milan too close to call.

If Atleti/Milan was played tomorrow, los Cochoneros would win easily but I think by Feb, the form gap will have been narrowed significantly.

Welcome back Europe

Unfortunately Arsenal should be winning this, the defence has been poor lately. Number 6 will come next year.

You what?

We're going to get crushed.

As long as we still have a shot going into the second leg I'll be happy. I can take getting knocked out by Bayern but I just don't want to be humiliated at home.

lol? Bayern has managed to ruin what was one of the most competitive leagues in the world to now where there is less reason to watch than La Liga. You've sealed the league and are in a position where you can focus on the UCL. You are red hot favourites for the entire comp let alone this match. It's a matter of by how much.

I'd settle for 2 narrow losses and zero injuries.

Bayern ruined Bundesliga by winning ?

f**king lols

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

How did Bayern ruin the league? :?

Bunniesmong has tipped us, no chance now.

By making Dortmund their bitch not just on the field but in the transfer market as well.

Imagine if City won the league and imagne if instead of having 4 rivals it had just 1 serious rival. Say United. Imagine if this summer they buy RVP, next summer they buy Rooney and the summer after they run off with Januzaj.

Bayern has been doing great things for themselves but the Bundesliga has taken a serious blow.

If they keep winning leagues by 20+ points who is going to take the Bundesliga seriously as a worldwide attraction? Competition has made the Premier League great. Serie A has become much more unpredictable with the collapse of the Milan teams.

Bundesliga used to be like that. Werder Bremen, Stuttgart and Wolfsburg have won in the last decade. But all that has gone to shit and there is no sign of it changing.

Bayern will keep growing, they'll win the league every year. They'll contend for the champions league every year, but the Bundesliga will suffer for it.

Bundesliga fans used to make fun of La Liga as being a predictable joke. It is now a legit 3 horse race while the Germans take bets on by how many points Bayern will win.

Toney has obviously gone to the Jose Mourinho school of mind games.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Juventus are going for three in a row ffs how can you be this stupid

What transfer are you talking about? Bayern won the league by 25 points with Götze and Lewandowski at Dortmund so that's your argument failing.

If you even remotely knew anything about the Bundesliga you see Freiburg as the prime example of being pillaged by teams in in the UCL and EL spots as we speak.

Maybe English and Spanish teams shouldn't come in flashing their money and stealing Bundesliga players? A feeder league, that's what you called the Bundesliga and now you talk about how wonderful it used to be :lol:

The way you fake interest and knowledge about various sports is embarrassing and transparent. Stick to knowing nothing about the EPL.

If he did, he didn't pass...

 

[Bulldog Force]

Some very big games coming up...

 

[Bulldog Force]

Apart from Milan/Atletico, I reckon all the away teams will be victors in the 1st leg!

 

[Haffa]

I must be one of the few neutrals hoping the goons win this one.

I'd also love to see City tear Barcelona apart.

Yeah... most people not only want that, but think it will happen

Meh

We know we can beat Bayern, Citeh and Barcelona in their own backyard...

 

[Haffa]

I'm not worried about it for Chelsea's sake. I'd just love to see the goons spring an upset.

I'm torn

Toney's breakdown would be quite something to behold

But I love seeing that 'cats arse' face that the Failure Specialist pulls when Arsenal concede

What to do...
