When is the draw for the big teams? Barcelona and the likes.

For the group stage? August 30th.

 

[Le-mo]

You have to wait for qualifications to end. Only after this set of matches is done will there be a group stage draw.



Fenerbache can get thrown out ? What for ?

Ah, I see. Thanks.

 

[Linius]

PSV is gonna beat Milan. Hopefully.

I doubt that

Milan and Arsenal were the two teams they absolutely shouldn't have drawed.

 

[Suen]

"Working hard behind the scenes" bro

Working hard to ensure that Sanogo is the only new player we have. All according to Wenger's plans

 

[Sviatoslav]

When is the CAS ruling on the Turkish situation due?

There's a chance that Metallist might get thrown out as well.

 

[phaze]

A sad day for all of us Arse-bros when Wenger make us switch to Monaco

Spoiler

Welcome to this glorious team

Oi ! I supported Monaco the moment they bought Morientes !

They were banned by UEFA for 2 years for match fixing, but they managed to get it overturned in the CAS. Currently under a legal battle but in the meantime they have their license back.

At the bottom of all the UEFA draw / match pages it says "* Please note that the participation of Fenerbahçe SK and FC Metalist Kharkiv in the competition is subject to pending disciplinary and CAS proceedings."

 

[subtles]

Did PSV replace Mertens?

I see, thanks. But the power of Suarez will make sure we won't have to depend on that.

 

[Lambda Pie]

On a serious note though Lambda, how many problems do you think Pacos can cause us? Were their better players poached after their season last year? I basically know nothing about them.

honestly? should be an easy win for Zenit. their manager, big part of their sucess last season, left for Porto and so did one of their best players (Josué).

they won't play on their stadium either, Porto (them again) loaned them their stadium for the CL matches.

YOUR NEW CHAMPION

BEHOLD SLEEPLESS

I destroyed your old champion but he couldn't take it.

Quitters has no place between us

Excuses excuses

Looool

Last time I saw Lego's list I was at No.1

Your only the champ after you beat me. Which won't happen

Dat 2003-04 CL betrayal against Madrid, never forget.

If you bring in ready-made professionals, you discourage the foetuses.

Sviat, just to give you an idea, our form vs Paços:

 

[justjohn]

Arsenal are extremely lucky there. Even if they lose to fenebarche its very likely they'll lose their appeal for match fixing ban so arsenal will go through regardless.

You know, the funny thing is the one time you can't afford to lose points against them..., you do.

I'm still worried though. I remember when we lost to Nacional 4 years ago on a late goal.

 

[spidye]

looks like gustavo is off to arsenal

if the rumors are true that is

 

[subtles]

Edit: Sorry phone acting up.

 

[Sage00]

Just noticed that Karagandy eliminated BATE. Bad feeling bad feeling..

that draw was in the Portuguese Cup, not the league.

Shiiit, I should do my research

Kinda disappointed Vitor Pereira didn't stay with Porto. That oil money took his soul. I'm disappointed about the above though, Pacos is a small team no? Wish their manager stayed and built on their success last season, would have been good for them and the league. Meanwhile Benfica should have sent Jorge to manage Porto and let Cardozo becomes the new Benfica manager with Eusebio pulling the strings.

 

[Lambda Pie]

Shiiit, I should do my research

lol. the team that fucked us in the league was Estoril, whom gonna be on the Europa League draw in 30 minutes.

 

[TheLucifer]

Alright, I'm ready to see Milan-PSV. Because it will happen, everybody knows that.

:lol

Told you.

 

[bjaelke]

Stewie quoted in the Echo confirming the Costa bid, wording however makes it seem like he has no insider knowledge.

#DowningWatch

Don't put too much into that interview.

“The manager said he wanted to sign players who would bring more goals to the group and both Iago Aspas and Luis Alberto have done well so far.

“Then there’s Sturridge, Fabio Borini, Raheem Sterling, Jordon Ibe and myself.

 

[Lambda Pie]

Meanwhile Benfica should have sent Jorge to manage Porto

oh, Porto tried to take him away. they sadly failed.

If we were only half as good as Dortmund, lots of investment in our own players, one can't win for shit, the other is amazing.

Big signings = Bayern outcast :lol

Spoiler

Wenger pls

 

[dc89]

Yikes. Fener are no mugs.

 

[Linius]

The Dutch website of Comedy Central is a special kind of stupid. They share a video link on Facebook. I follow that link to their website. Turns out they embedded some video from the American version of Comedy Central which is regio blocked over here :O

 

[Suen]

You'd think him falling down on his knees would be a clear sign, I suppose not. So if Jorge would leave who'd replace him? Di Matteo and Mancini are available.

 

[LegoArmo]

Looool

My list isn't based solely on results, but also how you played against me. Dominated. FootballFan the games were pretty even, and Sleepless I had about 20 shots on target but didn't score too much. He likes to cross.

 

[Yurt]

On August 26th Marotta will be presented with the Oscar dello Sport, an award for the best Sporting Director.

What would other teams be called if they went the Hull Tigers route?
Some obvious ones are:

The Arsenal Gunners
The Manchester Devils
The Palace Eagles

What about some of the less obvious ones?

The Fulham Cottagers?
The Tottenham Cockerels?

The Torino Zebras
The Piedmont old ladies.

Fuck that.

 

[Linius]

Some of the Dutch folks seem to think Milan is a good draw because the Serie A hasn't started yet. And they think it's likely that Milan will underestimate PSV. I dunno, they have to make up for a big part in quality first...

If only he hid from interviews and spilled it all on the pitch.

Honestly, the big Italian teams have been from decent to shit this pre-season imo so luck might be on your side.

 

[Sviatoslav]

If Motherwell complained about the long trip to Krasnodar then Celtic will absolutely love the trip to Karagandy lol.

 

[confuziz]

Milan noooooooooo

 

[rvy]

Juve-GAF, give us Conte or Benfica-GAF will cut off all ties with you.

IT IS ON NOW!

Dat 2003-04 CL betrayal against Madrid, never forget.

You betrayed him first man. That quarter final was only the Universe delivering sweet, sweet justice upon you.

 

[Lightning]

Lose? Fenerbarche may as well quit their appeal because they are gone from the CL regardless!

 

[Sviatoslav]

Milan noooooooooo

It was better than getting us or Arsenal. You should be celebrating!

 

[Freewheelin']

Shit, tough draw for the Arse

looks like gustavo is off to arsenal

if the rumors are true that is

Yes pls.

i don't believe it

You're right, we deserved it :/

Sviatoslav please, Zenit is no match for PSV.

 

[LTWheels]

Kuyt to score the winner against Arsenal.

This please. Drogba then Kuyt.....poetic.

"Где?" — "В Караганде!"

 

[Suen]

lol Celtic knocking out the only Swedish team in CL again. Get bent Celtic.

 

[Sviatoslav]

Sviatoslav please, Zenit is no match for PSV.

I only think that Zenit would have been a worse draw than Milan for you because Zenit will be much more match fit since our season started over a month ago.
