General football musings

I know I'm just not sure how much game time he'll get a Liverpool, even when they do rotate it doesn't matter how well the players that come in do, they probably won't play again for another month.

NAP to sit on the bench and get loaned out to some mob like Sampdoria after 6 months.

They could probably do with him as a squad player like but I'm just thinking about the player himself because I'm considerate that way, he should go to a team where he will play.

Folk don't seem happy with this, I actually think it's smert apart from being an England tap.

Gerrard and Klopp both extending their contracts to 2024 on the same day

I was told by the TH agents that there was no way Gerrard would move straight from Rangers to Liverpool. This is purely coincidental

Probably went berserk when they tried to charge him about £6 for a pint in the Booking Office.

Borussia Dortmund v Paris St-Germain

Real Madrid v Manchester City

Atalanta v Valencia

Atletico Madrid v Liverpool

Chelsea v Bayern Munich

Lyon v Juventus

Tottenham v RB Leipzig

Napoli v Barcelona


Celtic got Copenhagen and Rangers got Braga in the last 32 of the Europa, decent draws for both, even more so for Celtic.

[pondlife]

Normally I'd say Liverpool's worst draw but Atleti are keek right now.
Haven't watched Madrid much this year but I'd say City should progress.
The Chelsea- Munich game should be a belter, end-to-end stuff. Both teams have a wealth of young attacking talent that express themselves well.

OF both have an excellent chance of going another round.

[Shteve]

Think Bayern will see Chelsea off quite comfortably, Real Madrid v City is probably the one you would say is harder to call, Atalanta v Valencia is like a bog standard Europa League tie.

Celtic will pish their tie, fancy Rangers over two legs as well but it's definitely a more difficult one.

[pondlife]

Aye, don't think Madrid are playing particularly well but they'll up their game for their trophy. Pep will instill in them that realistically this is their only shit at real glory for the season so they'll be up for it too. Fancy City to edge it.

I need to watch Munich a bit more but of the two games I've seen to date, they look like they can destroy anybody on their day. Such a pacy direct team. If I was to commit, they'd be my outside bet for it, though most of course would still have them semis irrespective I'd guess so hardly a revelation.

Take that

OYA cunt, he's killed him

[Shteve]

If an outfield player done that they'd probably get the jail.
