Other football - 2017/18 edition.

Did CSKA win their League last season? No, they finished 7 points behind behind Spartak. But don't let that get in the way of your agenda

You forgot some shite about 'entitled' or 'sky generation'....

[aRdja]

United are actually good this season aren’t they, the cunts.

[Hades]

United are actually good this season aren’t they, the cunts.

They have a top striker and top goalkeeper. Covers a lot of their sins.

[cuppatea]

Chelsea been much the better side away to Atletico.

[3 Stacks]

PSG burying Bayern on the counter. 

[Joe Strummer]

All these top teams have great strikers and it tells.

[magicrat]

Cunts win it at the death. Down to Luis cheating to win a fk

Great comeback that. Well done, you self entitled, shy generation fan you.

[Baltar]

Having a good striker makes all the difference. Obviously. Wish we had one.

Cracking goal to be fair and not undeserved.

 

English teams looking very impressive so far, apart from us.

[Bjornebye]

Finally a decent away win in europe for Celtic. 

[Jairzinho]

Fuck sake, I was very close to sticking money on Chelsea at half time. Think they were about 20/1.

[aRdja]

It doesn’t feel great that we’re the only English team without a 100% win record in the Champions League.

[Funkasy]

It doesn’t feel great that we’re the only English team without a 100% win record in the Champions League.

And we must have created more clear cut chances then all of the other teams combined.

[cloggypop]

Assaidi got in the Eredivisie Team of the Week.

Pedro Chirivella was in it last week.

[an tha]

It doesn’t feel great that we’re the only English team without a 100% win record in the Champions League.

Only British team without a win.

[G Richards]

Two draws not disastrous, but the margin for error is now pretty tight if we want to go through. Two wins against Maribor, and take care of Spartak at home, and we'll be right as rain. 

 

Let the others get the plaudits now. A little adversity will pull our group together.

You shut your mouth,How can you say,I go about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved. Just like everybody else does

Standard of managers across the top English sides is far stronger than 2 or 3 years ago (when Mourinho aside -- who had a bit of a rebuilding job on his hands at Chelsea -- it was pretty poor right across the crop)  -- and it shows in the greater consistency of results and building of squads. Klopp, Guardiola, Mourinho, Conte -- all managers with European pedigree, and the way Pochettino has gone about building Spurs he looks top draw too. Premier league without doubt in the ascendancy again as in the early to mid 2000s -- especially so as the careers of Messi, Ronaldo and some of the other older world class continental players wind down. Klopp & Pochettino on a hiding to nothing trying to compete with the others here in the long-term given the chasm in finances though.

[General Dryness]

its almost like when a team spends money on good players in areas they are weak on they can improve.

 

Revolutionary. It'll never catch on. Besides, we all know that every team only has one player in the world that can improve it.

I never feel like being fair where Chelsea are concerned. If they lose undeservedly it makes it all the better,

Klopp, albeit the exponent par excellence of an attractive, attacking brand of football--- is too naive for me to be considered yet in the same class as those others mentioned above. If he fixes our defensive and  goal keeping problem, he has the opportunity to be regarded in the same company, even excel. But my worry is Klopp's very philosophy of a footballing defense being an overall team effort rather than a specific issue requiring his attention. I don't know if he's thinking "total football" here but it's a problem threatening to undo our season if not addressed sooner than later.

Ancelotti getting sacked today apparently.
