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

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

City losing 2-0?
I rate Valencia a lot higher. Has the best shot at the title imo.

2-0
Avatar quote.
Not as tedious as your Newcastle jibes.
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.

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
Thats a moral victory.

Haha exactly. So much arrogance about premier league being the best in the world.
Olympiakos won 0-1 in the first leg.

I was thinking... Is still EPL above La Liga according to GAF?
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?
Nah, Aguero seems level headed and happy with the City project.
Balo might well fuck off though.
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.
City losing 2-0 has nothing to do with the state of football in this country.
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.
