Champions League Thread 2011/12

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Essien is garbage these days, isn't he? He just watches players go past him. Ramires is the only quality CM they have these days which is incredible when you think how powerful it was a few years ago. It's a cruel mistress, age.

Well he is about 45 tbf.

Brilliant defending from Cannavaro.

1-0 HT, in both games.

Brilliant defending from Cannavaro.

Should stick to painting the Grand Canal, tbh.

[Marc Overmars]

Napoli need to man up and score from one of their counters.

Chavs will score again.

So, who are we willing to win tonight? Is it Napoli (for obvious reasons) or Chelsea such that they (FIFA) preserve the 4th Champions League place in the EPL?

There is no chance of England losing their four Champions League places based on this season, so that makes it an easy decision. Plus, I'd like to see more of Napoli tbf.

I hope Chelsea get through. Don't get me wrong, I won't cry if they're dumped out but I think an extra distraction along with the FA Cup could ruin them in the league (even though they're doing a fine job of that anyway). A fixture pile-up for them around the time they come to our gaff would be very welcome.

I'm not sure it's going to make much difference, not with the fixtures they have left anyway.

2-0 Big Man.
