WAIT, WE SCORED AGAIN?

 

[Metalmurphy]

The score sheet will appear in the trophy room?

With Man U and City out the rest will be a peace of cake. Schalke appear to be on their way out as well.

 

[Jubern]

Fairly disappointed by both Manchester teams tonight :/

 

[Kenka]

Holy crap !

 

[gurasa]

[Broder Salsa]

Manchester the city of the great football teams.

 

[LFMartins86]

HOLY SHIT!!! WOLFIE!!!

 

[Willkiller]

Oh dear. Man City need to score 3 now right?

WTFEdit: 4?

 

[Meier]

Ouch. :\

Van Wolfswinkel is a beast in Football Manager for Sporting.. usually nets 20-25 a year.

 

[bjaelke]

Kind of hilarious.

The 'EPL' jibes are getting tedious as fuck, though.

Should just be limited to Manchester. Chelsea did a great job yesterday.

 

[nny]

Oh snap Sporting, good going.

 

[Phantast2k]

Oh dear. Man City need to score 3 now right?

4.

 

[Fur_Q]

FUCK ME HAHAHAHA I DON'T EVEN.... WAT WAT......... JACK NICHOLSON LEVELS OF LOSING IT "WHERE'S MY AXE"

 

[Empty]

Oh dear. Man City need to score 3 now right?

four

 

[Feorax]

Ricklesworth can score tap ins. Means he can already offer something currently lacking in our squad.

Sign him up Kenny!

 

[Gareth Bale]

City losing 2-0?

 

[Madridy]

I predict a super hattrick from super Mario in the 2nd half.

Spoiler

lol, whom I'm kidding?! rofl

I rate Valencia a lot higher. Has the best shot at the title imo.

Not as tedious as your Newcastle jibes.

 

[K1LLER7]

City, they may not be the best in europe, but they have the best website

 

[sneaky77]

Bilbao before the match on the street that is typical to walk thru to get to the stadium

 

[Wilbur]

Hahahaha brilliant this more than makes up for any disappointment.

So it's looking like:

Valencia
Atletico
Bilbao
Hannover
Alkmaar
Sporting


Twente are at 2-1 aggregate right? And Olympiakos winning 1-0 but I dunno what the score was last week.

 

[rodvik]

Kind of hilarious.

Nah, I remember last year when the Serie A jokes were really overboard. Also we were all laughing at La Liga a couple of years ago. Its all good.

 

[Fur_Q]

The state of football in this country is so fucked.

 

[Phantast2k]

City, they may not be the best in europe, but they have the best website

And lots of training ground videos and interviews and shit. That's what it's all about.
City fans, I award to you: the Internet

 

[rodvik]

City, they may not be the best in europe, but they have the best website

Thats a moral victory.

 

[Feorax]

For all the shit the Europa League gets, there are some excellent players competing in it.

 

[Wilbur]

I can't see us picking up a pressing Swansea style of football any time soon, Fergie will be set in his ways by now.

 

[dc89]

City are just not up for this tonight. We're going out tonight.

Next up: Aguero hands in transfer request.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Nah, I remember last year when the Serie A jokes were really overboard. Also we were all laughing at La Liga a couple of years ago. Its all good.

Haha exactly. So much arrogance about premier league being the best in the world.

 

[sneaky77]

Hahahaha brilliant this more than makes up for any disappointment.

Valencia
Atletico
Bilbao
Hannover
Alkmaar
Sporting


Twente are at 2-1 aggregate right? And Olympiakos winning 1-0 but I dunno what the score was last week.

Olympiakos won 0-1 in the first leg.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

I was thinking... Is still EPL above La Liga according to GAF?

 

[Wilbur]

For all the shit the Europa League gets, there are some excellent players competing in it.

I don't understand why it gets shit; obviously this sounds stupid now, it really does hahaha, but when we went out of the CL and I was getting loads of shit from my Chelsea and Arsenal mates, there was a bigger chance of us winning the EL then there was them winning the CL (Chelsea won't get past the semis at a push).

There's a number of brilliant teams left in it, but when the CL isn't just for Champions and you can get any number of great teams knocked out, what do you expect?

 

[TeegsD]

I'm so god damn excited right now but trying to keep grounded cause City could turn this around at any time.

 

[Feorax]

City are just not up for this tonight. We're going out tonight.

Next up: Aguero hands in transfer request.

Nah, Aguero seems level headed and happy with the City project.

Balo might well fuck off though.

 

[Manager]

Maybe the cunts at FA now are understanding what they are doing to EPL? The tough schedule to satisfy Sky's every wish is killing PL teams in Europe.

Or that's the only reason I can come up with why all PL teams are out.

 

[K1LLER7]

More like Savic given a pay rise

 

[Clegg]

I can see Dzeko leaving in the Summer.

 

[Lunchbox]

fuck you city, get smashed

Spoiler

cause we already did

Time to scrap the Carling Cup.

Yes, this isn´t finished. I´m so proud of our fans there, they are doing so much noise at the Etihad.

 

[ShogunX]

The state of football in this country is so fucked.

City losing 2-0 has nothing to do with the state of football in this country.

 

[K1LLER7]

Time to scrap the Carling Cup.

But thats the only thing liverpool have a chance of winning

 

[bjaelke]

BBC is really ripping City a new one.

 

[Manager]

As shit as Savic has been, the last match was the first one where City lost a point with him on the pitch. This will be the second.

There's too little chaos in City. They are all Mancini's puppets. No free will, all follow plain rules. They keep trying the same thing time after time after time. Certain players always go deep, others always go back to pick up the ball. The opposition defenders know exactly how to handle this.

Mancini talk about how you must follow tactics precisely, but sometimes you might need a little bit of chaos as well. Bilbao showed with a bit of flow you can overcome anyone. It was painfully obvious that City completely lack that flow. No direct passes what so ever.

As soon as City gain the ball, they pass it back to the defenders, or even Hart. Then start over. The ball goes to Yaya. Johnson does deep run, Silva is on the wing, Balotelli does run. Same thing over and over again.

There are world class players on the City team, yet they NEVER direct pass, never tries to change flow quickly, counter-attack. Always the ball back to the defender. Keep possession, pass it up. The opposition has complete control of this.

Fucking frustrating.

you wanna take away the only trophy hopeless midtable teams like fulham, everton and liverpool have a chance of winning?

cruel man
