Time to focus our attention on the league. No chance of winning against Pep ;_;

Reus = Bayern, Arsenal = ref
Me too.
I think you'll forget and then leave your Aguero one at home.
Fuck that. We bring the game to Bayern, whatever happens happens, but we're not going to roll over for anyone.

Our fucked up group draw did that us at least partly. And now we again drew one of the strongest teams in competition. I'm just asking for a bit of luck.

Well, either we were a one man squad or we weren't. I think we were, more or less, but that's always going to be the case with a team like us and a player like Bale - he was so good that we had to base our entire team around him, so naturally the rest of the team "suffered". We aren't Barca or Real.
And obviously the fee of our incoming transfers was inflated too. Lamela's fee was based almost entirely on his future potential, potential that might not be realised, and because they knew we had £100m to spend.
I think that, because his fee was so high, that it's easy to downplay just how good Bale is. He absolutely was our team, and we performed absolute surgery on our first 11 over the summer. Our performances haven't been good enough, but I think saying things like "they spent £100m lol" is ignoring a lot of context. This isn't like Man City or PSG or Anzhi - we had to sell our best player to do it, and we ended up revenue neutral (actually, we made a profit - thanks, Dempsey!)

Oh please, with 45 minutes to go Arsenal were coasting to first place in the group. Should never have lost to Napoli, they were in complete control.
Wouldnt be so sure. Neygod is slowly reaching his form and Messi should be back by then but City has the more physically powerful players. Arsenal is great. Fantastic squad and Wenger vs. pep is going to be interesting. Zenit is tough but Dortmund will make it.
Leverkusen and Schalke are already dead.

No, your lack of proper attitude in the last group match did that to you.

Oh yeah, we'll definitely give it a go. But I can't see us winning, Bayern are just too strong.

Honestly

Fuck that pitch.
You got lucky to win that group. Everyone finished on 12 points. Not like you guys put amazing performances or something.
Give it up, Usho.
Arsenal-GAF will only start to think straight when they are back down around 4th.

FC Arsenal - Bayern München
Zenit St. Petersburg - Borussia Dortmund
FC Schalke 04 - Real Madrid
Bayer Leverkusen - Paris St. Germain
Manchester City - FC Barcelona
AC Mailand - Atletico Madrid
Galatasaray Istanbul - FC Chelsea
Olympiakos Piräus - Manchester United
Easy way through for the group winners for me.

Chelsea won the CL while finishing 6th in the league. If that happened, anything can. Lets just hope our players are possessed when that game comes around, but I'm not too bothered if we lose the CL and win the league. I want us to win still.

Wouldn't be surprised to see moves for either Pochettino or Laudrup.
Spurs need to act fast though. If they drop any more points over Xmas then there's a good chance that top 5 will pull away out of reach.
Where will you lot be then?
