Top man

 

[Haffa]

You know Somewhere in Catalonia Xavi, Iniesta and Messi are like - please no. Not them. Anyone but them.

 

[Jimbo]

Indeed

This morning certainly had a 2012 feel about it, although now we have José in our corner

Game on

 

[Haffa]

Absolutely. I was impressed with the way we just kept coming at them even after the shots hit the bar.

 

[Jimbo]

Looks like Hazard will be out for about two weeks

Hopefully he'll make the first leg of the semis, although we did OK without him this morning

 

[Haffa]

Whoever we get there's a story: Real (Jose/Carlo reunions with former teams), Atleti (Costa/Courtois & Torres) Bayern (Pep v Jose part 240!)

 

[Jimbo]

Courtois played against us in the Super Cup in 2012, didn't he?

I rather doubt we'll be as charitable this time...

 

[Haffa]

Nothing in the UEFA rules stopping it. But sources in Spain are saying there is something in the contract between the clubs.

There'd have to be...

Courtois loan deal to Atleti includes a payment clause if the keeper plays against Chelsea. 3 million euros a game - https://twitter.com/English_AS/statuses/454039443914379264

Atleti boss Cerezo has already said the club "wouldn't be able to pay that amount".

 

[saint.nick]

So Curtois is able to play against Chelsea?

*edit* Nevermind!

 

[Haffa]

So Curtois is able to play against Chelsea?

For 3 million Euros a game.

 

[Jimbo]

For 3 million Euros a game.

I heard it was ten

Either way, it would be up to them if they decide not to play him

 

[saint.nick]

I hope you draw Bayern and beat them just to hose down TT's chest beating about 'German football>English football' :lol:

Been there, done that

In their own backyard too

 

[saint.nick]

Once is not enough.

So since you're in Atleti's pot, you're going to play either Bayern or RM, therefore requiring a little more commitment. If you had to choose between the league or UCL (given the fact you're so close) this year, which would it be? UCL?
