Yeah a single Country can now have at most 5 representatives in the CL. From 14/15, if a team wins the CL and doesn't qualify for next years competition, they get a free berth that wouldn't affect the other qualifiers.

At least now some teams will want to give the EL more attention.

Parma wanted a penalty for this

BjvbFS-CUAAUElN.jpg:large


and they're still bitching about it


why can't we just win and everyone gets on with it

Fuck Italy, add me to the Manchester United supporters list
Was that the moment when we had the best chance to score the equaliser at the end of the second half? Kinda stupid to ask penalty from that since nothing Schelotto was unlucky to have reacted slightly too late . Amauri red is still a shit decision though, the energy should be going to that. We played much better in the second half with ten men and even had a couple of chances in your box. I really think we could have scored a second goal. Now we must slay Roma and Lazio, capital cunt clubs.

Txiki may bite for 200K pounds a week.

Hart has been pretty good for some time now so I have a feeling we're probably going to bring in a lesser tier GK to replace Pantillimon. I don't think we'll bring in someone to REALLY challenge him. They'd have to be content with sitting and/or only playing cup matches more than likely and I doubt Valdes would fit that bill.

At least that's my hope. :p

Ninja Turtle thread is hilarious. Everyone so disappointed in the new look as if the originals are masterful


http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=105976496
The original ones WERE amazing in replicating what you had seen in the cartoon and games. What the fuck am I even looking at on the new one?

Hitch, pls. TMNT 90s cartoon plus TMNT: Turtles in Time [SNES] are part of some of the GOAT shit available.

Go back to the late 2000s where you belong.
Thank you. Fuck off Hitch, worse than fry.

Cheers. Does that mean you can't access the money for 18 months? That'd be a bit of a risk in my situation :p

HSBC is going down to like 1.3% for my current e-ISA, that just ain't gonna cut it :(
Yeah. That's the "downside" but to be honest it's something I quite like. You have 60 days from opening the account to put your funds in and an early closure means losing 135days tax free interest.

But still, take a visit to moneysupermarket.com and have a look about. I think Halifax and AA have some good ones.

Yeah!

Parma played well even with 10 men. I could see you guys grabbing the last European spot and finishing above Inter, or even Viola.

but you need someone better than Amauri surely!

You and a couple of posters!
Wouldn't have gone in goal anyway. I saw the gif Meier posted, red card and robbed from a penalty. Stop defending this Yurt, don't make me support Napoli, you'll make me suffer through Benitez statistical researches.

I'm paid about 800 euros a month to go to uni. That socialism man. I'm out of here as soon as I have to pay taxes.
We don't get paid to go to uni, fucking Danes. We go to uni for free though but you end up with a huge debt anyway, especially if you decide to live alone. Have fun paying that off in 20+ years or something.

People on gaming side making a huge deal out of devs leaving one studio for another... Jesus.

Sony are dead apparently due to a bunch of them leaving their respective studios.

Oh and there's that new Batman Arkham Knight not being on Wii U thread if you want more laughs out of the morons over there who think it's harsh on Wii U not being included with the PS4 and Xbone.

Imagine if that was the case, and the team that won the CL failed to finish in the top 4 as well. 2 league spots for CL qualification

Yeah, not sure how it'll work and who will miss out.

Not like Moyeschester United will be anywhere near CL anyway.

Pretty sure it's a maximum of five teams for the Champions League, if it played out like this next season and the table finished like this:

3rd Arsenal
4th Chelsea
5th Liverpool
6th Spurs

If Spurs won the Europa League, they would have a guaranteed place in the Champions League not affected by anyone else (no Champions League qualifier).

If Liverpool won the Champions League, they would be in the competition instead of Chelsea as we are at present (including Champions League qualifier).

Chelsea would not be in the Champions League, instead they would qualify for the Europa League.

Arsenal would be unaffected (no Champions League qualifier).

Guardiola has lost 23 games in his managerial career.

Moyes has lost 14 games this season.
Let us know when Pep takes over a team that isn't considered to be the best team in the world. If he still manages to perform just as good in one season with that team then your post above will have some value.

I do live alone and got a bit of debt, won't get over 3k euros though unless I decide to become augmented and my insurance don't cover it or something.

Good move. Best league PL will finally have 5 teams rightly in the CL.

Donadoni makes horrible XI choice, he did the same last season. Amauri is a player that can score a goal or two in games that are far between each other; he's the most inconsistent player on our team. Just because he scored two goals against Milan Donadoni believes he'll keep performing well but of course he won't. He couldn't even put a goal through Genoa at home. I'm not kidding when I say that playing with Amauri is like playing with ten men. Why did you not keep him benched in Juve?

Four Italian teams in the top 10 and Milan leading, sounds about right. Too bad we couldn't reinvest every milion of those 229, that would've been really helpful.
 
Thank you. Fuck off Hitch, worse than fry.

Don't take your it out on me just because Arsenal and Madrid's seasons are falling apart at the seams while we march on to glory

QPR really couldn't have given 2 shits once they found out that they were safe from relegation. In fact, I recall them literally booting the ball out for a City throw after the Dzeko equaliser from the kickoff. On purpose.

These clubs have received the most money from transfers TO big 5 league teams. France is not included in the top 5 as Portugal is the 5th best league by UEFA's standards.

If the chart title is indeed accurate, it wouldn't include your Ibra and Thiago Silva transfer fees since France isn't in the top 5. It's a bit nebulous though.

People think game dev. isn't a job, it's just robots sitting in the office creating games. Not people with ambitions and people who may want different challenges or different environments in their life, nope.

Not surprised to see Porto so high up, if anything it's their excellent job in making money from players they buy cheap that allows them to stay as a strong team in Europe. It's not like they are a rich club.

Never did I think Madrid would be La Liga's Arsenal. Fortunately I don't support Serie A Arsenal, whichever team that might be in recent years (Napoli probably except they have their meltdown much earlier in the season)

Yeah, this wouldn't even include their James, Joao Moutinho, Hulk, etc. sales as those are to clubs that aren't in the top 5 leagues. Pretty amazing. They're in for a big payday this summer, that's for sure.
