Champions League 2014/15

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

3-0. Hopefully Ancelotti is merciful.

Gifting the opposition at least one goal every single game.

It's pathetic.

[Munchies]

:haha:

We want 10

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

We want 1!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mignolet. :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Liverpool. :lol:

Looks like they'll be going out.

[Master Splinter]

Best League In The World tbh.

[Munchies]

Anyone want to predict how many years it'll be without CL footy again for Liverpool?

[Master Splinter]

Balotelli was hauled off. :haha:

[Munchies]

Swapped shirts with Pepe apparently :lol:

Souness fumin'

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Is it safe to come out yet?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo closing in on Real's record apparently. Shut up Shreeves.

Ronaldo 70, Messi 69. Fucking nuts.

Atletico Madrid 5-0 Malmo, FT

Olympiakos 1-0 Juventus, FT. :haha:

Liverpool 0-3 Marketing, FT.

Ludogorets 1-0 Basel, FT. :popcorn:

Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 Zenit, FT

Monaco 0-0 Benfica, FT.

Galatasaray 0-4 Borussia Dortmund, FT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Champions League goals on SS5 now.

Our glorious win sure to be first up. :scarf:

Ah wait a minute, they aren't with Stelling. :lol:

What do I know?

Liverpool - Marketing up first.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great cross from Kroos.

Bloody hell Mignolet. Didn't realise it was that bad.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

The poor sod is actually getting worse by the game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Problem is, the alternative is not very good.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

You've got it all wrong.

The alternative is terrible.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I tried to be kind.

Moti. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

James' pass is ridiculous.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Need to get myself to a Madrid game sometime soon.

The sheer ease with which they comb it around at insane speed and then the next second just strolling past players. It's just :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not sure if it's easy to get a ticket for Marketing at home as it is at Barca home (even if you will be up in the gods).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kasami plays for Olympiakos? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a save to deny Morata

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're up next. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chambers lost his mind for their goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Reus' goal. :blink:

Bloody hell.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

All four German teams winning. :bow:

[AFC Leveller]

Watching the big teams in the CL play quick, exploise WINNING football just highlights how far shite we are. Madrid, Dortmund, Bayern, Barcelona etc are all a few steps ahead of us and we have no chance as long as they are left in the competetion.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Madrid, Bayern and Barca are just lightyears ahead of everyone else. It's incredible.

As much as I hate to say it, I think the only other team who could keep up is Chelsea. And that's only because Mourinho is a massive scrote and would set out solely to stifle them.

No disgrace in getting taught a lesson by one of those three. They could have scored at will last night.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I hate to be that guy and put things into perspective; but just watched the highlights of the match between APOEL and PSG. PSG with Cavani, Lucas, Matuidi, Thiago Silva in that side got completely outplayed away to APOEL (a side in no way better than Anderlecht) and they also relied on a last minute goal to get them three points.
This is not to excuse Wenger and the performances of late, but games like Anderlecht happen to teams with more talent in their side than us.

[Marc Overmars]

PSG are also domestic champions, made the CL last 8 for 2 years and have already knocked off Barca this season.

They had an off day, we didn't.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

And they have also spent ridiculous amounts of money

Again I'm not defending Wenger, I'm talking about the one result that's why it was posted in the Champions League thread

And with no offence to Ligue 1 it's not exactly difficult for a club like PSG to win.

[Marc Overmars]

You said you were putting things into perspective when I don't really think you were. We're all disillusioned because we've seen dodgy performances like this on a consistent basis, that's why there has been such a bad reaction. I do take your point that weaker sides can upset the stronger ones on any given day, but it really wasn't just a bad day at the office like you alluded to.

[Xhaka Can’t]

MO has it exactly right. A bad day at the office for teams we rate as our competitors is an anomaly, whereas for us a good day at the office is a pleasant surprise.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

MO has it exactly right. A bad day at the office for teams we rate as our competitors is an anomaly, whereas for us a good day at the office is a pleasant surprise.

PSG also have the defensive midfielder sewn up in Blaise Matuidi, have star quality all over the pitch and have produced one good performance out of three in Europe, plus they are in a league which is arguably only the fifth strongest in Europe.
We have only lost once in one of the toughest leagues with a ridiculously unbalanced side with a shambolic defence, the results aren't good enough I know but the point is it can be put into perspective. It's not saying we can't and shouldn't be doing much better, but no pressure is going to be brought to bear on Wenger because from the boards point of view he's doing a fantastic job and that's all that matters.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Little bit odd that in almost everyone of your posts you have to drop in the disclaimer that you aren't defending Wenger.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Little bit odd that in almost everyone of your posts you have to drop in the disclaimer that you aren't defending Wenger.

Because people like you make that necessary :-)

If I was pro Wenger I'd just say so I wouldn't try and hide the fact.

Last season, with Chelsea and Man City in transition we had amazing chance to win the league but we didnt

And I didnt really expect us to, because of the glaring deficiencies in his managerial repertoire

But and I have always argued that I don't want to get rid of him on a whim because how ever much he may frustrate us there is that stability at the club, and new managers who seemed to have it all sussed one season get found out the next (cough Brendan Rodgers).

And yes sacking a manager mid-season is a whim.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Chavs didn't look too unstable sacking a few managers over the last decade or so. In fact, they picked up a few tin cups along the way.

City sacked their manager not so long ago..... didn't look too unstable.

Neither did Madrid.

Stop manufacturing a crisis ahead of time, as if it's bound to happen once certain steps are taken, please?

[Niall_Quinn]

Chav and gypo managers have half the job of any normal managers. With squads stacked deep in every position with multi million quid players it's Football Manager all the way. In fact most of them have underperformed when you consider the resources they have at their disposal.

Congratulations you've actually made a post so banal it's literally not worth my time responding to it

However

You seriously believe Chelsea's scatter gun approach is actually sensible?.

They have won titles along the way because they have been bought and paid for, and in spite of their revolving door managerial positions. Actually considering what they've spent what they have won since 2003 hasn't been a great return on their investment, and owes much to the short term ism of the owner.

And yet you took time to respond. :haha:

You really do take yourself too serious, pal. Relax.

I mentioned others who've undergone manager changes, and didn't fall apart as you suggest will likely happen to us should Wenger exit. I'm sure there are other teams, too, that have done same and haven't imploded.

Go away with your scare mongering disguised as a rational standpoint.

No I just can't do half arsed debating, without feigning exasperation there really is no point

No my point is that the examples you've given are of clubs who have a model that a self sustaining club would be ill advised to follow.
The likelihood of Wenger being pushed before the end of the season is so minuscule it doesn't even merit hypothetical speculation. That plus I've no faith in the board bringing in the right replacement and setting up a system where that manager is under scrutiny for performances.

If you want to read that as a ringing endorsement of Wenger go ahead; I wish he had gone in 2014 and the off season a new man had come in to head up a new and larger coaching team, but it didn't happen.

Tim O'Shuck must about 82 now.

Bender and Bellarabi are Must Scouts.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I wonder if Hulk will do anything rather than just belt it as hard as possible.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Toprak. :lol:

Coney. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dreadful shot from Bellarabi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Leno. Although he didn't really do anything, just let Kerzhakov do his thing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kerzhakov. :haha:

Doing it again.

[Master Splinter]

Kerzhakov to score now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's still 0-0, I must admit this has not been a classic.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Jesus Christ we've gone for a full on weakened team.

It's going to be a fucking massacre. Again.

Kolo?!

Am I right to assume CL groups are based on head to head rather than goal difference?

We were going to get smashed anyway. May as well make it really memorable.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should be 1-3.

Get it in the mixer!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Am I right to assume CL groups are based on head to head rather than goal difference?

They are, goal difference would only count between the sides in question (like us, Napoli and Borussia Dortmund last season).

I don't think it ever helps getting smashed to pieces though.

[Syn]

Didn't Mick McCarthy get fined for throwing a game? Rodgers should be fined. And away fans should get a refund.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Who'd have thought yours would be the most embarrassing performance tonight.

Who'd have thought Kolo would be one of our best players. I'll need some time to process that one.

And even more weirdly, Ronaldo was one of the worst on the pitch.

Ronaldo :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man City: Hart, Clichy, Demichelis, Kompany, Zabaleta, Jesus Navas, Yaya, Fernando, Milner, Aguero, Jovetic.

[Master Splinter]

Liverpool did well in the League last year because of no European commitments was the general consensus.

Well, it's the same for Citeh essentially every year.

Still, they're unlucky and plucky and have only spent £680 trillion. And they've got their city back.

[Munchies]

As it stands, Citeh are last in their group :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ajax 0-1 Barcelona, Messi!

70-70 now. :haha:

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Ajax are giving Barca a proper game despite being down. Their entire team is comfortable on the ball like the archetypal Dutch team.

[Niall_Quinn]

If you're not first to the ball you're second - Souness :bow:

Fernandinho and lesbian cunt on. Two gypo twats off.

BLitWtbf

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maribor 1-1 Chelsea, Matic.

Dzeko is so shit.

Luckily.

But at least he's not a massive cheat like Rooney or Hazard or Ronaldo.

Luckily.

[Niall_Quinn]

Maribor 1-1 Chelsea, Matic.

cunts

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The ref books the wrong player. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL Toure absolutely should have got a second yellow and been sent off there.

Ref has completely lost the plot, total incompetence. Is he booking or sending of a CSKA player now, who knows?

[Niall_Quinn]

Toure back in business with his shitty FKs. No fluke this time.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref :haha:

Just how bad do you have to be before you aren't allowed to ref a game?

[Master Splinter]

LOL Toure absolutely should have got a second yellow and been sent off there.

Ref has completely lost the plot, total incompetence. Is he booking or sending of a CSKA player now, who knows?

First pelanty he had failed to score too.

[Niall_Quinn]

No red for lesbo :haha:

Gypos bigger bottlers than us :haha:

Nasri should be off too.

But what about that one decision that went against poor City?

[Niall_Quinn]

Martin Samuel :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Aguero booked for diving!!

:haha: :haha:

This is brilliant.

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL :haha:

Aguero's cheating doesn't pay off - booked.

Got to say, well spotted by ref.

[Niall_Quinn]

If the gypos had been in pot #1 they could have avoided heavyweights like CSKA. But everything has been stacked against them by Arsenal.

[adzzzbatch]

Poor shitty obviously didn't pay as much as chelski!

[Niall_Quinn]

Aguero just can't understand why he's not getting his pens.

FT :haha: :haha: :haha:

Great remedy for our own shitty performance.

[Niall_Quinn]

Nice bloke Kompany berating the ref.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

City :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

They need more playa!

[Master Splinter]

Best team ever in the history of football struggling to beat Maribor and steamroll the easiest group in CL history.

It would be nice if for once they were given a harder draw in any cup competition.

[Master Splinter]

If Shaktar played BATE a few more times, Adriano could overtake Messi and Raul's record.

[Niall_Quinn]

Best team ever in the history of football struggling to beat Maribor and steamroll the easiest group in CL history.

It would be nice if for once they were given a harder draw in any cup competition.

Martin Samuel has no problem with their draw so don't see why you have a problem.

[Niall_Quinn]

So who's better? The Invincibles, the gypos or the chavs? For me this gypo team is right up their with the 70s Brazilian team. Of course the chavs are even better.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maybe they aren't world class players, Redknapp.

[Niall_Quinn]

Toure was sent off because he's black. Simple as. It's a disgrace.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard's pelanty. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mourinho as hospitable as ever.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Time for Messi. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cillessen. :haha:

Dear god.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tap-ins for Messi.

I was kidding FFS!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's difficult to tell!

Anyway, I hope the next person to seriously say BLitW on British TV is immediately laughed at by everybody else in the studio.

It is shit.

[adzzzbatch]

Come on Bayern!

Come on Schalke!

[adzzzbatch]

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Just switched on Chelsea game.....and witnessed a almost inch perfect pass from Cesc to Costa, FFS we should have brought him home......reckon that's what Usmanov was on about?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi breaks the record! :bow:

[Globalgunner]

Bayern equalise. Alonso free kick. Joe Hart just stood there

Bayern 2 now. Lewandowski. City are just shit

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Munchies]

Sagna :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

APOEL 0-3 Barcelona, Messi again. :bow:

[fakeyank]

Anyone watching the City game, take a look at Bayern without the ball.. two banks of 4 defenders every time City come forward.. this is where tactics win you games. I think we'd be toe to toe with Chelsea right now if we had a half decent manager.

Fuck!! :crying:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guardiola. :lol:

What a fraud.

Sagna hauled off for Zabaleta. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schalke 0-5 Chelsea. :lol:

[Globalgunner]

City are cursed

[Munchies]

City can grab the winner against all odds says Savage.

Twat.

[Munchies]

[Munchies]

Kompany fell to the floor by Lewandowski

[Globalgunner]

Aguero is simply world class. Technically on a par with Messi

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-4 Messi hat trick! :bow:

74 goals in the CL. :wacko:

[fakeyank]

City win!

[adzzzbatch]

Aguero. Absolute Magic

[Maestro]

:sick:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:haha:

Townsend goin 'GET IN'
I hope that isn't his 'Neville' :sick:

[Ernesto]

Great game. For them to go through a group stage with as little as 6 points (potentially) is mystifying.

[Munchies]

Aguerooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Its common knowledge that he tried to come to us (according to most Spanish Journos) but the weirdo in charge said NO thanks.

[Globalgunner]

Is there any doubt that the CL is the absolute pinnacle of football. In which world cup would you see a game like the City-Bayern match or the PSG-Barca of a month ago.
I`m going to miss us not being in it.

[Globalgunner]

Aguerooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
