- Start date
The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:
- In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners are seeded, and the eight group runners-up are unseeded. The seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association cannot be drawn against each other.
- In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there are no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association can be drawn against each other.
Too bad. So Dortmund vs. Arsenal or Manchester City?
Yes, yes and yes.
We all know Arsenal are going to get Bayern
/Barça

Don't forget insane transfer flops like sanches
Watch Uli bringing Heynckes back in Spring.

Why does he wear the mask!?
I was like, "yeah, sure, ok". Then I clicked the angry Facebook the status and scrolled down.
Wow. I mean, I'm not really shocked, but Bloody hell. It's just depressing.
So we truly arrived at Ottl level of performance.

Must just be their culture. Still, it's very sad. PL literally posted a goal from Gudjohsen, and the top post is someone crying about their profile picture.

Not really, I'd always agree he has a football brain. However his performances the past 12 months or so have just been terrible.
Last night was really good. Keep the beard Rooney. It makes you look a bit funny but maybe bearded Rooney plays better?
Bayern supporters who want to watch the annual meeting: It's live on YT today:

Uli will make Bayern great again.
A lady leading the investigation has already said a England player has spoken to her about being abused. But doesn't want to go public
He's not wrong (bolded part). The German media wanted Pep to fail (for reasons I don't know).

He turned a beautiful German organism into a ruthlessly efficient machine. Honestly, a manager like Pep at a team like Bayern is a recipe for a lack of news. At some point a team can become so dominating that even the papers get sick of it as there's much less to report on, which was obviously going to be the case when Pep took over. His style of football essentially guaranteed it when combined with the team he took over, the draw Bayern has compared to everyone else in the league, and the resources at his disposal.
Remember Hoffenheim 2009.
This is Rangnicks 2.0 version, they know what to do now.
It was all over until that fateful match in Munich, until that fateful moment where Luca Toni scored.
Hope all of the victims are able to at least report their assaults to law enforcement. Heard someone on the news who knew Bennell say 'at the time there were rumours' I mean, fuck's sake This is a mirror image of Savile. How do these victims get failed so much?
I still think it was the winter break though.
Regardless of the past, if there is one team I'd love to see winning the league besides Bayern, it's RB.
Oh, and:
Bayern found his new Alonso replacement: Emil Forsberg
Easier to cover up then to look it. Then most of the people that abuse others have all the power etc that they think they can get away with it. Rumours going round that there was a paedo ring and many more coaches will be called out.
I myself am a victim of sexual abuse as a child and it is so so easy how the abuser gets away with it. Victims ( and myself) feel like we have done something wrong in not standing up to the abuse. We feel ashamed to tell any one what we went through.
That doesn't excuse the adults that knew and did fuck all, they are just as disgusting in my book.
Contract till 2019 (I think), won't be cheap. I do wonder how well they can keep their players. Will be interesting to see.
The cynic in me says the Paedo ring here is linked to the same one Savile was in and all its members will never fully be revealed.
Sorry, you had to go through that, man. As someone with a sibling who went through the same thing, I know how bad the feelings of raw helplessness can be. I think about it everyday.
Seems like the board at Crewe absolutely knew about the rumours/truth and did nothing. Heads absolutely must roll here. Seems kinda fucked that after Bennell was convicted for crimes outside of coaching that no one involved thought to go back to earlier periods in his career.
Yeah Crewe need to do a investigation big time. The police do as well, they apparently did a cover up over abuse cases and then just dropped them. It's like no one can be arsed to actually do some work.
Is that Hojbjerg with a fake moustache?
less than 2 years in summer, so around 45m.
Still cheaper than anything else like Isco, Carassco or Veratti...
It's Höjbjerg in the body of Seedorf.

I think Bayern will bounce back and win the bundesliga but Leipzig aren't doing bad at all.
What does bundesliga-gaf make of the Leipzig vs 50+1 rule thing

Nothing. They are in line with that rule.
