Grand Moff Mithrandir Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 PSG need a coach with experience in European competition. They won't make it further otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Holy god, that was fantastic! I understand his loan is working out very well. I haven't heard anything lately about Guidetti...any idea what's up there? It really seems to be going great. Guidetti - Not sure tbh. I'm not of the opinion that loaning him to Mark Hughes was a great idea in the first place bearing in mind that teams like Villa, Everton and Fulham were all reportedly interested. Think that might count as a dropped bollock on behalf of City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatCoward Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I can't even begin to imagine how smug jose will be if he wins the champions league with a 3rd different club. However I really don't see them having any chance against the probable other 3 semi finalists. And hopefully they fuck up the league through fatigue as well.

I think they were pretty lucky to scrape by PSG, but the away goals rule can be a harsh mistress (especially when your away goal was on a PK). I don't see Jose going past the next round. Personally, I'd like to see him lose to Real just for the added ignominy of losing to the club he just left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polishgenius Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Bayern Munich: Neuer, Lahm, Dante, Boateng, Alaba, Gotze, Muller, Kroos, Ribery, Robben, Mandzukic, Subs: Raeder, Van Buyten, Rafinha, Pizarro, Weiser, Hojbjerg, Weihrauch. Man Utd: De Gea; Jones, Smalling, Vidic, Evra; Fletcher, Carrick; Valencia, Rooney, Kagawa; Welbeck. Subs: Lindegaard, Büttner, Ferdinand, Giggs, Januzaj, Young, Hernandez.I can't help but feel that Pep's taking an unnecessary risk fielding a midfield that protects their CBs that little. I mean, they should beat us anyway, but Rooney and Kagawa are going to get a lot more space than they should be given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gears of the Beast Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Athleti take the lead! This is gonna be a great game. edit: Barca are getting completely picked apart by Athleti's pressing, this is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renasko Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Atletico have hit the woodwork 3 times in the opening 20 mins...by the sound of things.I am, unfortunately, watching the United game and do not switch in the middle of a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard is it to understand 'no betting on football matches'?Seems pretty easy to understand in theory, so I would be skeptical of claims that the rule was "misunderstood" in any way apart from, "I didn't understand there was any chance I would be caught." ;)I suppose the sheer prevalence of betting establishments in the UK is a big temptation, in the US it's all just outright illegal except for a few enclaves. I myself have never bet on a sporting event of any sort, not because I disapprove of it, but simply because of lack of opportunity. (I'd have done it when I visited Manchester if I had been thinking about it...would have won too as City beat Everton 3-1 that day...dammit!) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afraid I'll miss something!United are basically playing Walter Smith football, which is good considering Fletcher wanted him to manage United. :laugh:Speaking of which, it shows how desperate United are playing him. He's well past it, and he never had much of a first touch or any kind of skill to start off with. Bayern on the other hand play with it like it's silk (both a good and bad thing).

Oi, don't be dissing Fletcher. He was always good for us and he's done his job today.Last year's Bayern would have brutalised us. Pep's ruined them. We shouldn't have a chance here yet somehow we still do. If they play Chelsea they're gonna get ravaged on the break and despite their big team problem this season, Madrid's front three are gonna fancy their chances too.
