Napoli flowing so well

Wonder if Rafa has just decided that they're shit in defense anyway, might as well go balls-out in attack

Pretty much.

DESE SAVES

 

[SHarris78]

Lovely play by the Swans then, great save too

 

[bjaelke]

Lots of early action.

 

[Certinty]

Nice start to this match, hopefully Swansea can keep this up.

 

[Salvadora]

I can't speak for the non-Arsenal group games involving Marseille, but I didn't think they were particularly "lol ligue 1."

There was so much at stake in that group. No one could settle for second because no one knew who would finish second until the very last match day. There was a huge gulf in quality between Arsenal, Dortmund, Napoli and Marseille (especially going forward), so ending pointless wasn't particularly shocking and not really indicative of joke status compared to other teams in other groups.

 

[Fergie]

Great start so far.

This is great.

Was it 2 or 3 games where they were level going into the 80th minute, and conceded late winners?

Dortmund away and Napoli at home I think, was there another?

Just got interrupted by 'Sarah' on the phone who wanted me to take a quick 5 minute consumer survey.

I had to inform her, politely of course, of her inappropriate timing.

Good match so far.

I just stop talking and wait for them to hang up. I also ignore calls from 0800 numbers, but sometimes you get a sneaky fuck who comes up as a private caller on the caller ID

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Fucking amateur hour at Ajax. What is this BULLSHIT defending.

Yeah, but however, you slice it; the number of points Marsille have accumulated was just laughably bad. Even clubs from Belarus or Norway could at least get more than that. Just look at Copenhagen!

 

[bone_and_sinew]

This Swansea-Napoli game is not bad at all

 

[dc89]

Ajax pls.

 

[K1LLER7]

Swansea wingers too quick for Napoli's Fullbacks

Getting closer and closer to a goal. They're well in control it seems.

 

[jesalr]

Ajax nooooo! Don't be that team. Don't be the team that fucks me.

 

[Yurt]

dyer defending by Napoli.

sorry guys

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Ajax nooooo! Don't be that team. Don't be the team that fucks me.

Did u sim it?

 

[Zabojnik]

Rome wasn't built in a day, same goes for Napoli. Rafa got the attacking player he wanted this season, he'll get his defenders the next.

76%

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Yup, this is embarrassing...

 

[Fergie]

Bony why.
Sublime pass.

 

[Kikarian]

Should have shot quicker there Bony

 

[K1LLER7]

Bony lol

He payed a fuck-tonne for Raul 'the lingering stench of averageness' Albiol

 

[pulsemyne]

Stunning pass.

 

[SHarris78]

Bloody hell Bony, don't go being all shit again. Awesome through ball.

 

[systemfehler]

Mane that football god. Sorry Ajax

 

[bjaelke]

That pass deserved better.

 

[Fergie]

Ajax nooooo! Don't be that team. Don't be the team that fucks me.

0-2

 

[faridmon]

Just bough my ticket for Toy gig tomorrow. I am stoked!

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

WHAT ARE WE DOING

Ajax get it the fuck together before we lose 0-5

 

[Salvadora]

Yeah, but however, you slice it; the number of points Marsille have accumulated was just laughably bad. Even clubs from Belarus or Norway could at least get more than that. Just look at Copenhagen!

It was a poor return, of course, but I thought it was important to put it in context of the group. There weren't playing Mickey Mouse teams from Eastern Europe.

Copenhagen are a powerhouse in the Champions League, by the way. Juventus wouldn't be the first team to fall to their sword.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Reina...

What has become of you?

 

[jesalr]

Did u sim it?

Sadly not, we all know FIFA would have told me good and proper. Do you think I can phone them and ask for them to reimburse my lunch money for tomorrow? Or at least get me a tesco meal deal!

0-2

Fuckers!

 

[lvb]

There's going to be some tired bodies by the end if the tempo in the Swansea game stays at this level!

 

[Zabojnik]

Copenhagen are a powerhouse in the Champions League, by the way. Juventus wouldn't be the first team to fall to their sword.

I'm not sure that's a great example, but, sure.

 

[systemfehler]

50% of Ajax passes go back to their half. Doubt Salzburg has enough stamina to keep that up fir 90 minutes but I predict one more goal and Ajax breaks.

 

[CrunchyB]

Same thing happened last year. Ajax talks big about EL, but they don't care all that much and it shows.

(almost 0-3!)

 

[Wilbur]

Hitcher is on my telly

 

[Broder Salsa]

I'm not sure that's a great example, but, sure.

United lost here, Celtic destroyed and Barcelona held. We got a damn fine record at gone, real was the first to beat us there.

Then we should only play our b-team. This is some embarrassment of the highest order.

 

[HotHamWater]

Wilbury pls.

You've yet to beat Bayern.

 

[Salvadora]

I'm not sure that's a great example, but, sure.

Did you get a result against them?

I honestly couldn't remember when typing that :lol. I just recall lots of drama in that group.

 

[pulga]

ClasicoGAF, just bought some plane tickets for Madrid today, arriving one day before the match. I've got a good friend over there who can do the ticket buying, but what's the best strategy to try and buy without paying out the wazoo?

 

[pulsemyne]

Lovely bit of skill from dyer there
