Ok fair enough but Bendtner... Italian football is dying a tragic death. Milan are selling first class and sighing 2nd rate. Now Juve are doing it. Udinese fucked up in the UCL qualifier, Inter got lucky against a team nobody has ever heard of.. Juve wont cause us any danger in the UCL. Just a big name in a league that is going rapidly downhill.

Juve should retire the Number 10 shirt. Del Piero is more than a legend for them. How can Bendtner even think of taking over from the great man.

Well yeah there's not much alternative although Luiz has been annoying this season. Still a very good back 4 on paper tho but would be interesting if he played Cahill with Ivanovic and Azpi at RB. Pretty unlikely tho. This will be a very tough game but if we play to our capabilities, we should get the job done. I'm sure they will look to Falcao the whole time and although he had a good game at the weekend, all the goals we would've stopped i'm sure. Bilbao's defending was awful. There's not much else Falcao aside that strikes fear into me.

I still call it the league cup, that is it's rightful name anyway. And i agree with the boring draw, it's nice to see Chelsea against lower league teams with shitty grounds like when we had Scarborough away in 2003 or whenever that was. League Cup is shit tho and not many teams left so i suppose it's harder to get such a draw in that. The Fa Cup 3rd round draw has more Chance. All in all, a good draw for the players. I'm sure the youngsters will play. Can imagine Piazon, Marin, Oscar and Sturridge ripping them a new arsehole tbh.

Twisties beat me last weekend. Anyway i've not used my wildcard yet but am thinking of it. Still got a good team for the next game tho so hopefully i can hold on a bit. Really need a good weekend tho to get back in the mix so may use it.

Ronaldo's time will come. I think it should've been this year but Iniesta was class all year tbh. Football isn't only about scoring goals. There are so many jobs on the football pitch and Iniesta is perfect at his. The way he finds ways out of sticky scenarios and cuts defences open is wonderful to see along with his final ball. Wonderful player. Actually feel sorry for Ronaldo a bit tho. I thought Real winning the league may have got him the vote but wasn't to be.

I dunno why the Concern. We can beat Shakhtar home and away imo and the rest. Juve are the 2nd best team but they wont beat us twice. We'll go through. City's group is mega tough, at best they will come 2nd but they could get knocked out again. I love City's group lmao just pure class. And fuck sake why you all moaning about Man Utd's group? NEWSFLASH: They failed to get through their group last year so stop the 'they always get the easy group' crap, we usually get nice groups too and i think we have another nice one again. They have to go to Romania and Turkey. Not easy at all, we were shit against Cluj a few years back. Shame Arsenal have it easy tho but again... they always get through then get smashed so good luck. Celtic could get a mauling or 2 too lol, Barca & Benfica. Good draw, it coulda been worse.

Yeah very true in fact. Swansea have Sunderland at home next, another 3 points could be on the cards for them too. Great start by them. If Sunderland win tho... i want another Chelsea double!

Dembele is only 6m.

To be honest... anything to fuck Arsenal's hopes of a top 4 finish will be approved by me. I hope the 2 Manc sides, us and Tottenham finish in the top 4, i'm not even too fussed on the order as long as we're in it and Arsenal aren't. My only thought now is why the fuck are Tottenham pissing about with Jermaine Defoe? He's their best striker and has been one of the best premiership strikers for 10 years yet he's not seen as first team. He only played the last 2 games because they had no one else and now they want Remy. Defoe will be 3rd choice again. I bet Defoe goes to Arsenal.

No because i said the Madrid Barca game shoulda gone to Extra Time and pens. We won on pens, we genuinely won. I would just rather win on aggregate than win on away goals because i simply see it as not beating your opponents. I would've accepted away goals against Barca because of how they celebrated when they beat us on away goals in '09 but winning on agg is so much sweeter. And yes it's harder to score away, so it's easier to score at home. Why Madrid only score 2 at home then and Barca 3. It's equal to me, you lose 2-1 but you won 3-2. A win is a win and look at the winner? Valdes trying to run round Di Maria and Di Maria blatantly fouled him and scored an open goal. When it's 2 clubs from the same country, away goals is crap, especially for a trophy so small. I prefer how the Spanish League uses head to head before goal difference though. It seems fairer that way. At least Man City did genuinely beat Man Utd twice and in affect, the 6-1 was the title decider as the goal difference was from that game.

He should and most likely will get player of the month. Hopefully Robbie gets manager of the month too. Federici will get twat of the month. Did anyone see he fucked up again yesterday lmao.

I hate draws. No team should win because of being equal. Man City winning the prem on goal difference is as bad as it gets but Real Madrid all having orgasm's and celebrating with a trophy in a 4-4, i hate it. It's probably my most hated thing in football. If you're good enough, win right? yeah they won 2-1, but they lost 3-2, why do they win. Just crap. Man Utd and Man City shoulda had a one-off final at Wembley for the title or a 2 legged decider. Real Madrid and Barca shouldn't have had away goals. It shoulda been extra time and pens. When i watch football, i want to see a genuine winner. BORING.

Higuain is good but probably the worst finisher in european football.

What a shit 2nd half. Real Madrid had a real chance of sending out a big message today. 2-0 up, against 10 men, creating chance after chance then in the 2nd half they don't do anything. Barcelona deserved to go through because or Real Madrid's boring approach in the 2nd half. They coulda stuffed Barca today but no.... held on for a 2-1, 4-4 away goals win. Really wish Messi had banged that last chance in. Woulda been what Real deserved. The away goals rule is shit.

As holders, we should be able to chose our group

Ok. Simple really. I want: Chelsea Braga Anderlecht Nordsjælland Arsenal PSG Valencia Dortmund Barcelona Juventus Man City Celtic

Real Madrid are absolutely battering Barcelona atm. It could already be 6-0 and Barca have had a man sent off. 2-0 so far. It will be more. 2-1 H/T. Is there anything Messi can't do? Fucked up. Barca aint been in this game yet they're still in it.

That is quality, really good work. Only 5 likes simply because only 5 people have bothered to click the link i bet. Catchy song and to the point, great lyrics.

Absolute rape job going on at Goodison for sure. I hope Everton score another 6 just so we can laugh at Barry Hearn. It's always nice to see hammerings anyway.

Just looks bad seeing Man City, Dortmund and Juve below Braga. Just not cool lol. Well then i can 100% definitely say i want Braga. No disrespect to them, i think they beat Arsenal 2 seasons ago in the group anyway but i don't think there will be many weaker pot 2 teams than them. Wouldn't mind getting Celtic tho tbh, i'd enjoy that, as may the Rangers bunch as they are missing their Old Firm clash for a while. We might get Lille and Kalooo(b)ooooou.

Wales vs Belgium, wow bad for Wales and then Wales are away to Serbia? Lmao good luck. Oh and Scotland are in the same group, fucking brilliant. I'm looking forward to a few derby games coming up. Can see some 'serious foul play' in the Croatia - Macedonia game. Also Iceland vs Norway could be interesting. I like watching these qualifiers because u play countries you never played before rivalries get renewed and stuff. Oh and Austria vs Germany is also there coming up.

How can Braga be in pot 2? Anyway i'll say who i want when i actually genuinely know who's in what pot. We obvioiusly want as easy a group as possible tho with the other prem clubs getting as hard as poss. That's just obvious.

He shoulda stayed with us for the Super Cup and Club World Cup then left us in January.

He passed his medical at 3:45am? wow. Still think they will use Gomez up front tho. I think it's a good move for Martinez. They are a huge club and it's a step up from Bilbao. The German league is a good league, not as big as the BBVA or EPL but maybe he's working his way up bit by bit. He'll get more recognition at Bayern to then maybe go up to the highest level to then come to the Prem or go to Barca - Real.
