Other football - 2017/18 edition.

[Dr Nowt]

That would be the second best thing he’s done this season after getting shot of Hades.

[Jockey]

Anyone else think that United would have beaten Barcelona, and Chelsea would have been Sevilla? 

 

Apart from City, i don't see anyone else who we should be scared of. Real seem to have the nous to win it and I would prefer to avoid them, but Barcelona, Juve, Bayern are all beatable. 

[Josef Svejk]

So are we. As demonstrated last time out.

[Jockey]

I don't understand? 

[deiseach]

This is correct.

 

We also would have made more money from the CL in 05 if we’d finished runners up due to the players win bonuses we had to pay out.

 

The Evertonian trick of saying Liverpool didn't 'win' the final didn't work?

[Josef Svejk]

I don't understand?

Beatable.

 

Our record against stronger teams this season is poor enough, as exciting as we've been to watch.

Ah right. We can't play ourselves though - so it was a comment upon our opponents.

Good thing. Our attack would humiliate our defence.

[Jockey]

Good thing. Our attack would humiliate our defence.

 

Haha - that is a good point. Although I suspect we'd be great at defending our corners. 

[Pureblood]

Good thing. Our attack would humiliate our defence.

 

Our excellent midfielders would never permit that.

[El Rojo]

Good thing. Our attack would humiliate our defence.

 

In a new interview, Dejan Lovren has praised his recent good form and suggested that Mo Salah and Robert Firmino are 'containable' in practice matches.

Please tell me that’s a wind up...

[Baltar]

Glad Chelsea are out but have to say, they didn't look bad at all. If they had a top striker they would have scored a few against Barca. Without the Champions League to worry about, Chelsea are going to give it everything to finish in the top 4. Our game against them is going to be massive.

Agree with that in an ' on the field ' sense , Baltar , and I think the attacking 3 of Willian , Giroud & Hazard looked good , but I get the distinct impression that there are cracks behind the scenes with Conte & the internal politics may disrupt their efforts.

[an tha]

All this talk about Kane being out for Spurs until April and how it may help us i top 4 race might be a bit misguided.

 

Their next league game is 1st April.

 

Be fool to bet against him playing in it!

 

Nice little rest from meaningless Ingerlund games for him too...

[dockers_strike]

Naby Keita seeing stars after taking a ball to the face in the game against Zenit. Looked out cold but back up now.

[Harry Squatter]

Lucas scores for Lazio away to Dinamo Kiev

[dockers_strike]

Keita lays on a pass for Werner who is brought down in the box. Penalty and misses but he had to wait a long time to take it.

Borini playing for Milan tonight,  Piss myself if he scores . 

[SammyAftershave]

Drink 20 pints of ice cold lager safe in the knowledge that you won't be pissing yourself.

[Jennings]

Gattuso hasn't aged well.

[manwiththestick]

Borini playing for Milan tonight, Piss myself if he scores .

Doubt it, he's playing right back according to the Beeb.

[polymerpunkah]

Half way back.

 

Will Arsenal cave again?

[magicrat]

Doubt it, he's playing right back according to the Beeb.

 

So he is . Hadn't noticed

Milan score anyway so hopefully we will see some classic Arsenal pants shitting

[magicrat]

Diving cunt Welbeck gets a pen.
