PSG > Dortmund
Click to expand...

Dortmund's last two years and CL performance gives them a lot of credit in the bank. PSG haven't won anything yet and had an easier group. They're up there though.

City, Napoli, Milan, Atletico all around there too. Probably Chelsea, much as Rafa is trying to fuck everything up.

I would rate this years Dortmund even stronger compared to last year. Strange that they are so bad. Well, u cannot win every game with smuggy laughter.

I think the problem this season is we're putting a bit much focus on the CL. Maybe not on purpose but there's a certain lack of concentration in the defense before and after CL matches.

They are really missing Shinji right now.

That's certainly a strange thought. I mean, yes I'd love to have him but we certainly didn't lose because we don't have Shinji today.

11th to 16th separated by 3 points. 4 point gap between 16th and 17th.

Shit's getting tighter than my arsehole before my poo earlier.

united have a spirit that i admire--they're one of the few teams in europe who can still come back from 2-0 down, they can keep going at it until the very last minute. but almost everything else is utterly average. it's very much the team that makes them perform as well as they do; there are no individuals that stand out except for the two up front of course.

their playing style is not very sophisticated nor is it pretty to look at--it's awful, actually--but it gets the job done, i suppose.

Looks like it's nothing serious for Vucinic. He basically had enough and subbed himself, lol. I do get mad at you, but I just can't hate you, you lovable rascal. <33333

Dortmund really aren't anything special in the Bundesliga this season, but I agree about the CL. Right now, PSG look like a bigger threat and a better team overall, so I'd rank them ahead of Dortmund.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
I bet Fergie will rest even more players tomorrow because of this result.

I was joking earlier but that goal wilbury provided a gif of vs Liverpool was very pretty in the build up IMO.

I really do disagree that we've got an average team individually. Carrick has been just as important as RVP this year, Ferdinand and Evra have been very good, Rafael's been fantastic all season, and DDG has saved us far more than he's let us down.

Like I said earlier, we're not the best United team. But we're better than we're given credit for.

Yea, the worst players we have had are our wingers this season.

No surprise after two titles. U have a big chance in the cl if you focus on it. No doubt.

I didn't think the season was over when United had the eight point lead last year. And I still don't think the season is over even though we have a chance to go 12 points clear tomorrow.
It's still only February.

Gutted. I just don't get it.. I do agree, it's time to show Mancini the door. Let Platt or Kidd take over the rest of the year and go for Mou in the summer.

Mancini simply does not trust half the squad. The Maicon substitution shows that very clearly.

Fantastic result for Southampton. Thoroughly deserved. But for that moment of stupidity for the corner leading to City's goal that would have been a perfect performance. If they can play like that against the other teams in the remaining games they should be safe. I certainly hope they stay up.

Yeah, its debatable and it comes down to personal preference really; I've seen far more of Dortmund than I have PSG this year.

If I had to rank (not just based off CL performance, but league and general strength). It basically just comes down to a bunch of random shit pulled together thats entirely arbitrary, but fuck it.

1. Barcelona
2. Bayern Munich
3. Real Madrid
4. Juventus
5. Borussia Dortmund
6. Manchester United
7. Atletico Madrid
8. Paris St. Germain
9. Manchester City
10. Napoli
