Champions League 2017/2018

over the last few years, I've seen us completely capitulate when conceding a couple of early goals, Bayern or Barca would go on to win 4/5-0 in the end because we had little character or balls to mount a comeback. Spuds as much as i hate them dont capitulate and tend to ride out the storm. Juve are a better side than them but are not one of the favourites this season so i live in hope that Psg, Real, Bayern or barca can put an end to the horrific possibility that Spuds can win the CL. That would be impossible to live with.

I’m not comparing Spurs with us. We are mentally weak they are not

But you can be as well drilled and mentally strong as you like, if you don’t have the quality all over the pitch you will get punished

Last night Juve failed to punish Spurs for Kamikaze defending in the first half. But players like Sanchez and Davies will get roasted alive by better players.

Is it galling that Spurs recovered from going 2-0 down in the way we blatantly wouldn’t, for me not really. Us being shit doesn’t suddenly make them great.

Pochetinno has done an excellent job with them, but ultimately even with a world class striker they’ve choked themselves in two league challenges when the heat was on.

And more importantly how long do you expect they will keep Harry Kane?. I understand the annoyance they are a better team and have a better manager than us. But ultimately it means very little when in terms of trophies they will come up short

Other sides that haven't been in it as long have looked far more convincing and progressed more than we have.

Wengers record in Europe is amateurish and embarrassing to be honest, all those years in Europe and not one success to show for it.

Aye, right now we don't deserve to be in it and have no right to be in it.

We are clearly a tier below the sides including the English ones participating in CL. The English sides in it right now are in it to win it. I totally understand that it's unlikely that the Spuds, Man United or Chelsea will win it but they will certainly make a credible fist of it.

I personally think City are one of the red hot favourites this year for CL. Outside of Barca and even that is debateable, there is not a better team in CL this season than City.
