Do you think Napoli can get the. 3 goals required to knock us out? I hope not. Hamsik not playing if I read correctly.

Absolutely not. Not without conceding a goal, at least.

The only sides they 3-0'd+ this whole season are Bologna and Livorno.

Think Moyes will use Adnan more often now.

Adnan - Rooney - Shinji
------------ RVP ------------

Should be our front 4 in the big games but Valencia will probably play instead :(

Isn't this part of the problem though? To play Rooney, Kagawa and RVP,you either play Rooney up top with RVP, in a roughly 4-2-2-2 and be exposed on the left (since Kagawa is is only really good in the middle) and have Rooney moan because he doesn't like playing as a striker.
Or have your system where Rooney is where he wants to be and you aren't exposed down one side, but at the expense of Kagawa (who is generally quite poor on the wing).

Your players seem to be too specialised to play in the same team together :/

I thought Napoli needed to win 4-0?
Nope. 3 goals is enough.

Dortmund are safe though. You win and you're guaranteed, you draw and Napoli need to win , you lose and Napoli need to draw.

You won't lose to marseille and a draw is very unlikely. Marseille are in tatters right now.


I feel confident Juve and Milan will make it. I want Ajax to make it but away win in Milan too hard I feel. Juve won't lose to Gala. No way.

SIX Serie A teams in Europa league would be fucking hysterical

an all Italian final in our stadium, lol.

Well, on one hand, it's good for the co-efficient

on the other hand, WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT OUR CO-EFFICIENT

I'd be okay with 5 italian sides in EL. Just sayin'. More money for us, like last year.

Makes no difference for the co-efficient, right? There's no distinction between EL and CL, right?

I still can't believe the Man City coaching staff didn't understand that a forth goal puts them top.

Now they have a Madrid, Atletico, Barcelona, PSG. They are the only teams City can draw now.

Had they topped the group they would have gotten Leverkusen, Zenit, Olympicaos etc.. the pool is much easier.

Major fuck up from City. Should have put Aguero on for the last 10 - 15 minutes and gone for it Ferguson, Pep or any sane manager would have anyway instead sub Dzeko of for Rodwell..... That's something Moyes or Mancini would do.

I'm not blaming Pellegrini. No one should. Thats what the back room staff are there for, he can't do anything.

Anyway, a win in Munich is something special. I give no fucks about who we can face now, I think that AWAY win will be a huge confidence boost, the players fear no one.

If we had a functional, alert left back, this would be less of a problem.

Still a problem, mind, but not a fucking suppurating wound.

Haha, I forgot about Evra on the left, if you bought Baines though I think your right in saying it wouldn't solve the problem. Baines is allowed his freedom he has now as Miralles can cover left back while he's gone up field to attack.
Thinking about it, I think your hole left side could do with an overhaul (after your core midfielders though, that area is much more of a priority).
 
Watched Best of Enemies. He's obviously bitter but I kind of believe Keane about how Fergie used the MUTV interview as an excuse to get him out of the club (maybe thinking Keane was slipping, perhaps prematurely, a la Stam). Show us the tape, Fergie!

Otherwise, Vieira is uber-likeable. Didn't bring up having a WC medal when Keane brought up six or seven titles. Totally right about Scholes too: the most complete midfielder of the PL era.

I let my nephew alone with my pc for an hour. Poor judgement on my part. Now I'm stuck with and Ask toolbar and a lot of other malware yet to be detected. Computer/internet running incredibly slow. I don't think Microsoft Security Essentials will cut it this time around. Problem is I'm unable to find a replacement right now as my session keeps getting disrupted after a few minutes.

I hope the whole Pep honey moon is done by now, time to discuss the lack of defensive tactics.

Drama, drama. We suffer from a lack of defensive tactics since 2001. Last year was pure luck against Arsenal, Gladbach and Dortmund in the final. So try harder. If we start conceding more goals in the coming machtes and lose them, then we'll talk.

Galatasaray's inability to keep the pitch playable is beyond ridiculous.

For starters, fucking cover it with something.

and I don't know, use some proper equipment. THREE WOODEN SHOVELS?!?!

Does it start again at whatever time it was abandoned or do we start again as if it was a new match?
