Champions League

[E-P-K]

Wouldn't be surprised to see quite a few of them leave; one of them at least certainly.

 

Didn't take much for martial to be prized away

 

 

Conckers- what's the reason for Spurs early exit?

The EL defeat I put down to lack of interest from the club.

 

It took £50m, (which can rise to £80m) to get him, and they had an extremely talented youngster called Kylian Mbappe to replace him.

 

Come on Bloots, you know fine well why Spurs (and City + Arsenal) were eliminated, The EPL is not as good as SKY / BT / Media makes out.

Conckers

 

Didn't deserve to qualify from the group to be honest, Monaco and Leverkusen were better.

 

The only excuses can be made is that they never had their strongest team out for all six games, but they also haven't in any other game in any competition this season either.

Then there's playing at Wembley, big pitch doesn't suit the pressing game and away teams raise their game playing there.

Dreading next season.

 

I'm fairly certain as well as anyone else on here would be, that they would have qualified had the home games been at White Hart Lane.

Aye maybe just perfect storm of the above.

Any team with loris, Toby, dembele and erikssen should be performing better.

As for ghent; collective indifference would be diagnosis.

Did you go over? Ace city.

 

Big season for Potch next year wrt Europe. If Spurs have ambitions they need to showcase these on the biggest stage.

35m actually.

(Up to 60m, not 80)

Fuckin dweeb

[Bluto10]

Fuckin dweeb

 

To be honest it's the extent of my football interest; the trivial and irrelevant sky sports type sound bites over in depth tactical analysis

I don't go abroad anymore, doesn't interest me and can't afford it what with doing most of the games over here as well as a few dons games.

If we got your pals from Rotterdam i'd go though.

[Henry]

It'll be fascinating to see which one of Bayern, Real or Barca win it.

[Foster14]

 

the fact you had to embellish that just shows your need to...

 

as an aside, no one can say the champions league isn't a great tourney this season?

 

I think well supported teams get sufficient success (and would without seeding) that they don't really need the foot up that they get to ensure it, at the expense of some clubs who it may be their moment in the sun.

 

I honestly don't know how any football fan can say that it is fair that 12 teams in next year's Champions League will be from 4 countries and not be Champions.

[vanderark14]

 

I didn't say that particular point WAS fair?

 

MT, never mind this shite.

 

Give us the goss on the new Scottish football deal which BT are about to smash.

You winna be able to see it min, down your way.

You supporting a local side yet?

 

I'd suggest Arsenal for you, good solid archetypal epl side

I meant Euros

 

He will get 25 French caps before he is 24 which was one of the add on payments, the other being that he gets nominated for the Ballon d'Or.

I've been with work to Arsenal corporate three times since moving here, its a piss poor atmosphere. I didn't really pay attention to the fitba, too busy enjoying the free booze.

 

I've been asked to go to West Ham, I gave in once and paid for a ticket............................we didn't get out of the pub and missed the match.

 

If I did pick a team I'd go for a national league team or some lower league shite

[Bluto10]

VDA min, I'm pulling your leg.

Wasnt being serious.

 

Good stuff min, liked the WHU story.

Been there, done that

Atlético de Madrid v Leicester City Football Club

Borussia Dortmund v AS MONACO

FC Bayern München v Real Madrid C.F.

Juventus v FC Barcelona

[E-P-K]

Why are you shouting Monaco ?

[Bluto10]

Atlético de Madrid v Leicester City Football Club

Borussia Dortmund v AS MONACO

FC Bayern München v Real Madrid C.F.

Juventus v FC Barcelona

Lump on Leicester to get through to final after defeating Monaco in semi.

[Dynamo]

Getting interesting now.

 

Not a bad draw for Leicester. Atletico not been that great this season. Atletico will be more than happy with the draw though.

 

Dortmund v Monaco will be some tie.

Good chance to see how good Juve are (or not) against Barca.

They have drawn more games than previous seasons.

 

But last 25 games they have only lost 3 times, and 2 of those games were against Barca.

 

Lump on Leicester to get through to final after defeating Monaco in semi.

 

 

 

Sporting bet that Leicester get knocked out by Atletico ?

[DelMonte]

CR7

 

Legend

Real Madrid and UEFA are corrupt.

 

2 offside goals and a wrong red card.

[Clydeside_Sheep]

Poor leicester, I had hoped they would do it tonight,. Still what a run in the tournament they have had.

[Dynamo]

Real Madrid and UEFA are corrupt.

 

2 offside goals and a wrong red card.

 

Vidal should have been off before that.

 

But yeah, inexcusable not calling offside, especially his first.

[Lencarl]

Will Barcelona come back this time being 3-0 down to Juventus after the first leg.

 

Their 6-1 comeback against Paris Saint-Germain was outstanding but will be hard to repeat.

 

But if one team can pull it off it is Barcelona.

[Bluto10]

Vidal is just a bad loser.

He should've had the tie wrapped up in Germany and cost his side again in the 2nd leg.

Another corrupt team. Got through the last round due to another "dodgy" ref decision.

[E-P-K]

Juventus are better equipped than PSG defensivley, and in typical Italian style rarely concede more than 2 goals.

 

And with Higuain and Dybala upfront, against Barca's poor defence, fancy Juventus to score tonight.

[Bluto10]

Hope juve and AM can make the final.

Or BD or Monaco but I don't think they are good enough to win.

 

Sonething about RM annoys me. Zidanes made them

Tough to beat but to me they're aren't a great side

Played 75, won 55. drew 15, and lost only 5, scored 206 goals and conceded 76.

 

Win % of 73.33 which in the complete history of Real Madrid, of playing more than 50 games, is the 2nd best, ever. (Ancelotti had 74.79%)

 

First season he has won the Champs league, Super cup, World club cup and broke the Spanish record of most consecutive wins.

 

2nd season Real are in champ league 1/2s, clear at top of La Liga, and have set another Spanish record of scoring in 40 odd consecutive games.

 

Nae bad for not a great side.

[OddJob]

Want Juve to win the cup for Buffon, great professional and seems like a top guy too. Would be a fitting finale to his career (if he did retire after it)

[Bluto10]

Yeah great keeper.

For me up there with can see Sar and Shilton for longevity in the quality keeper stakes
