I demand a more than good performance today. Seriously. Its all or nothing.

Is there a realistic chance for City to advance if they won tonight? I've grown to like them.

Edit:
If City win both matches they could get through provided Bayern win against CSKA. :/

Wont happen though. Those Russians are not easy to play and Roma will perform at home. I have a good feeling for tonight, because the pressure is off and City has to win and wont park the bus if they really want to have a chance to reach the round of the last 16.

even phil jones on ket wouldn't call himself world class

if the german giraffe and the wee french fuck are world class then Gary Cahill is the greatest defender of his generation

gave me a good chuckle though, particularly the jozy bit.

That list is done by who?
Lukaku isn't even in the top 5 players at Everton. Such a shitty list!

Not that familiar with Everton, tbh. Tell me who the other players are and I'll add them to the list.

They are the best CB partnership in the league. There was that widely circulated stat about them never losing a game when playing together. It's since fallen but the fact it lasted so long is telling.

qin ur on my ignore list forever

Oh come on, don't be so upset I left out Mannone and Catterpirlo. I'm always willing to accept this community's input and continue refining this list.

By the way, are there any specific issues people have with the list. I'll be glad to defend some of my selections and remove/add players accordingly if convinced otherwise.

The goal difference of Group F - 10, -4,-4,-2. Football at it's finest. Bate Borisov with a -17 GD, this is the true competitive nature of UEFA Champions League.

That list is far beyond anyone's comprehension. I'll never make a list again.
