Champions League 2015/16

[GodsGift]

They've been doing that anyway, haven't they?

Interesting to note that Spain will have five sides in the CL group stages.

 

[Alty]

Lose this and will Deila be under pressure again?

They'll have to perform well in the Europa League. Go out early in that and he's in serious trouble, I'd have thought.

 

[SALTIRE]

He probably has to win at least the league and a trophy this year to continue I'd say. The league on its own won't be enough unlike last season.

 

[Libertadores FC]

Everyone was telling me on another forum Celtic will beat Malmo. Always knew Celtic didn't have a chance.

A good run in the Europa League is the minimum in my opinion. The leagues a given really?

Quite frightening that a team 5th in the Swedish League, with a far smaller budget (I'm assuming here) can comfortably beat the best team in Scotland. Scottish football is really on its arse.

They would had a ood chance had they not conceded the second goal in the home leg. They also were denied an equalizer last night due to a truly pathetic decision from the ref.

 

[mistermagic]

They still suck though.

They still suck though.

Perhaps but I prefer them to Glasgow Rangers

Astana FC of Kazakhstan get a crucial away goal against Apoel with 6 minutes left.

Looks like they are going to qualify!!

Fantastic achievement.

CSKA v Sporting looks to be heading to ET.

Nope Musa has scored to make it 3-1 to CSKA.

Looks like the only real surprise exit is Basel. And a surprise inclusion in Astana.

Leverkusen is through, a very important win for the nations ranking. while we won today 0.86 points the italians are earning zero which was also important for the english clubs as otherwise England would be by now 4th in the nations ranking

 

[voltage]

I thought Leverkusen vs Lazio would be more disputed but Leverkusen was completely strong at home.

[Citeh]

Benfica, Lyon, Malmo please. Happy to avoid any long distance travelling.

 

[Christian Slater]

I want Bayern or Juve, United, Roma or Sevilla and Wolfsburg. Shit groups are boring.

 

[Citeh]

Or tedious in United's case.

 

[Christian Slater]

I remember when it used to be two groups, one after the other. That was tedious.

Best group we ever had was Barca, Bayern and Brondby.

 

[Stevencc]

I wonder who Liverpool draw.

HAR HAR HAR.

 

[SALTIRE]

Meh it's only a year's absence. We'll win the EL in the meantime then.

 

[Stevencc]

We'll see on both counts

 

[smat]

Oh good, I wonder what playing Bayern Munich is like.

 

[Christian Slater]

Fix!

 

[Spear]

PSV yes !

PS who have Liverpool got ?

 

[SALTIRE]

Too late with that one bud. ; )

Puyol and Maldini up there. I have a man crush on both I have to say. Drunken uncle Schmeichel doesn't look so fat though as he was.

 

[Christian Slater]

Group of meh.

 

[SALTIRE]

Easy group for PSV anyway.

 

[Stevencc]

Very good group for us so far - thank fuck for that.

 

[SALTIRE]

Another top man in Abidal. Rolls Royce player.

 

[G-Dragon]

Easy group for United compared to other English teams. Chelsea got the toughest. Arsenal easy apart from Bayern. City easier compared to last couple of seasons. Expect all team to get to at least round of 16, and then all of them will get knocked out.

 

[SALTIRE]

Easy enough for PSV and Wolfsburg. Should progress easily out of that.
