The European Leagues & Competitions Thread V2

Indeed the winner gets to play in the Champions League next season, but I can't see Liverpool winning it.

Tottenham, Villarreal, Dynamo Moscow, Inter, Sevilla, Everton, Wolfsburg, Napoli, Fiorentina are there. Plus the Champions League teams - Zenit, Bilbao, Olympiakos, City/Roma, Schalke/Sporting.

They won't even make the semis.

OK that sounds good lol. Unless they buy quality players in January, don't see them doing much in the Europa League.

Apparently some people reckon they've favs for Europa.Erm 1 in in 6...cant win on name alone

maybe it would be sweeter if Spurs won it and kicked out the Gooners

Atletico are IMO the best defensive team in the world, unbelievably good at home and Simeone is tactically perfect in nearly every big game, outdoing even Mourinho. How are they only 6th favourite for the CL?

Will City advance if they draw with Roma? (With Bayern beating CSKA) They have the best gd of the 3 sides with 5 points now..

Yeah I was half-watching their game with Juventus today. I hope the rumours of Godin going to Manchester United aren't true, he's a vital part of that back-line and they can't afford such a setback.

Turn to ITV+1 and still in it lol

Funnier when was Man U though.Bit mehh cause of them doing it before and not for ages

I believe they need a scoring draw, if CSKA lose to Bayern Munich.

Godin is definitely very important for them but the only person who is irreplaceable is Simeone. They lost 3 of their best players to us but are still an excellent side. Liverpool lose 1 player and become completely tosh. The difference between Simeone and Rodgers is staggering.

True. Well if rumours are to believed (Guillem), Simeone is learning English and has apparently been touted to take over Manchester City post-Pellgrini

Well I hope not. I quite enjoy us being the only English side who's decent in the CL

Is anyone here afraid of Basel? We may just very well be drawn with them, after all they are our bogey team in Europe.

Tehehe cousins getting it bad.

WE'll win against them when it matter as we did in 2013 EL quarterfinals

Monaco have been woeful tbh domestically but they've managed to grind 1-0 results out against Benfica & Leverkusen, who aren't very good opposition. They have a very good defense, that's the thing that makes them good. They've probably only conceded 1 goal the entire group, probably the least. Lol just loving all the Arsenal tweets praying Arsenal get Monaco in the 2nd round, just hoping Monaco don't make it easy for Arsenal if they are drawn.

they conceded only one goal in 6 games. Not sure how that can be woeful. Also, Leverkusen can be very hard opponent if they're in the mood. And I'm really not sure that Arsenal can easily win Monaco. But, we'll see.

I believe they need a scoring draw, if CSKA lose to Bayern Munich.

What if 1-1 happens? I think that Roma is second then...

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

L/pool waited half a decade to get back into the CL - just to be immediately k/o'd by a Swiss herb LOL LOL LOL LOL

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Easy group..

Enjoy your thursday night party, pool

if Moscow lose to Bayern, a score draw will do for Manuel Pellegrini's men. If CSKA beat Bayern, City are out regardless of their result

Not sure but I think the maths would favour Manchester City because of their away goal record? Lol
