Other Football 2023/24

City will walk tbe Champions League again. Bayern and Madrid have too many flaws. Arsenal are probably the only team that might cause them issues with all domestic ties normally being close

[Code]

That third City goal should have been avoided, would be great if they had to fight for it in the return leg. 

[Ronnie Whelan]

Grealish picking up an injury is a good result to be honest. All I was hoping for from that game was injuries to them so happy days.

 

Hope they get Arsenal next round and they knock fuck out of each other.

Even if it ended 1-1 they wouldn't have to fight for anything at home to Copenhagen

The CL is finished as a competitive competition. Couple more years and the viewing figures will plummet. Its predictable & boring

Going to be worse next year with the new format. Reckon you'll see loads of teams playing out results to fuck others over in the last games.

I think I would rather those cheating cunts win it again than have Arteta as a European Cup winning manager.

I don’t think you’ve to worry too much about that happening.

[Ronnie Whelan]

Gvardiol is out for two to three weeks, Grealish likely out for a few weeks and Silva took a "big" knock on his ankle.

 

Would be brilliant if they lost Silva for a while. He's a knobhead but a brilliant player.

Yeah the genie is out of the bottle now that they won it last year,  It's all fucking meaningless any way another dagger in the heart for proper football 

[Jairzinho]

Bayern look fucking dreadful.

[Tarwater]

Harsh red card, though. Luis Alberto has been very good for Lazio. We should probably have asked for more money for him…

Without a fucking doubt, and if they’ve any sense, they’re already on the blower to Alonso. 
 

From our perspective, you’d hope it’s a better dilemma than us or Real Madrid.

[El Rojo]

Tuchel seems to have the latter-years Rafa gift of taking the worst job at the worst possible time. The pay-offs are pretty great though.

Agree. 
 

The Premier League having more money than all the other leagues in Europe combined mean it’s only gonna get worse.

How can taking the bayern job be bad though. 

 

It's bayern, its not "that" hard to win a league with them. 

 

He has them playing like us under Hodgson

Just don't see the appeal of going to Bayern at all for Alonso, especially with us and Real Madrid clearly keen. Nothing about Bayern as a club per se, just the dynamic of him being at Leverkusen and possibly pipping them to the title. Another season at Leverkusen would make more sense. No pressure to defend the title, and a crack at the Champions League - again, with little pressure.

Maybe I’m giving him too much credit.

Did Ancelotti not sign an extension? Real would be the big worry.

 

Yeah, if he wins the title with Leverkusen he’s probably achieved himself out of the Bayern job. Still reckon it would be a likely exit point though.

Signed until 2026.

Regardless of what we do or don’t win this season, Klopp is going out a legend, something that won’t be lost on anyone in the frame.

The more we may win, the tougher the act to follow.

It could put some off taking the job,
