Soccer 2016-2017

I have a funny feeling City does something in the CL. Pep cant go so quietly into the night. I think they make semis, thats what Pep does.

If De Bruyne was more consistent that team would be a handful for any side. When he is playing well they are very formidable especially when Aguero is healthy and they arent conceding handfulls of goals.

I like Benfica too. They have been spectacular in the Portuguese league the past 3 seasons and are exoerienced in tournament play. They could beat Real Madrid or Bayern IMO in a home and away.

Nooooooooooooooooo I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

In Liverpool for the game. £100 flight turned into £250 because I stupidly booked tickets for next weekend by mistake!

ouch, but on the plus side, it was the best game worth seeing this year!

To paraphrase the immortal words of Balotelli, Messi proved once again he is a magician by remaining invisible during the 94 minutes of the PSG vs Barca! 4-0 for Paris in Paris, winning just about every duel, conceeding almost no opportunities thanks to a constant collective effort and creating many for themselves in a very nice display of offensive soccer.

I have a hard time seeing the Barca winning 5-0 or 6-1 at home in three weeks.

Not even the referee can save these desolate gunners.

LOL

Euro League last night. Manchester United - Saint-Étienne.. Zlatan might've scored a hattrick against them, but the real winners of the match was Saint-Étiennes supporters; Magic Fans!

Showing the football tourists what real atmosphere is like!

Just bored of it all now. Not even mad anymore, just sad. Desperate way to close out a wonderful career..

Yup. I really don't have the emotional capacity to deal with this team anymore. Not while Wenger is in charge. It is painfully obvious that he can not cut it anymore at the top. That's been obvious for a while actually. We are right behind Bayern in terms of revenue/wage bill, but the difference in class between the 2 clubs is staggering.

I would love for him to go to Barca or a real club that expects results. Just to see how he would do/handle it. Right now he is only accountable for $$ which he is delivering on. Unfortunately that's all Kroenke cares about.

Claudio Ranieri: Leicester City sack Premier League-winning manager

Pretty Fucking disgraceful.

The stories allege the players wanted him gone,, and in one fell swoop Leicester have gone from being the team everyone wanted to win the pl to hoping they get relegated.

Springbok said:

Hilarious Mourinho wearing a shirt with CR stitched on it this morning - this fucking loser somehow manages to make even Ranieri's sacking all about him.

Amusing as IIRC he said some derogatory things about Ranieri after he replaced him at Chelsea

Springbok said:

As for LCFC, hope they pull a Leeds and nobody picks up Vardy's contract this summer. His movie ends with him getting banned from English football for punching a ref in the championship imo.

Bitter he turned you down?

Good result for Liverpool tonight, its what Ranieri would have wanted.
