City are being dressed up again in the media this morning as being 'Outstanding' last night....They played Dynamo Kyiv for fucks sake.

But they were the only English team to win - so expect a load of bollocks

if we can turn PSG over (which I think we can) - I would imagine us and City will make it into the next round, as long as we avoid each other, good chance to make some decent progress

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi (Paris Saint-Germain Chairman and CEO)
"We played a good match. After the loss to Lyon, we showed Paris Saint-Germain's true face. It's important for the confidence, because we have a very important match next week against Chelsea. Now we need to recover so we can prepare well for our next two matches."

Javier Pastore (Paris Saint-Germain midfielder)
"It was a cup match, and everyone wanted to win it. The important thing was that we came out on top. Now we're into the semis. For the confidence, it's great to have won and, personally, I'm very happy to have played. I'm getting back into the rhythm. It's great for the team to win before we take on Chelsea, but we still have a match to take care of on Saturday…"

Dudes at PSG already thinking about the CL match. They are obsessed with us like a drugs.

Disgraceful, City and PSG escape with a fine and no sanctins

Read this article please. It's absolutely disgusting, sorry. 

"The Champions League doesn't NEED Leicester"

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/mar/04/champions-league-leicester-relevent-sports-charlie-stillitano

They want to create a separate competition breaking away from the CL that would allow the biggest teams to compete every year. Chelsea is part of the talks. 

“What would Manchester United argue: did we create soccer or did Leicester create [it]?” said Stillitano, who met United’s executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, on Tuesday. “Let’s call it the money pot created by soccer and the fandom around the world. Who has had more of an integral role, Manchester United or Leicester? It’s a wonderful, wonderful story – but you could see it from Manchester United’s point of view, too.”

“This is going to sound arrogant and it’s the furthest thing from it … but suddenly when you see the teams we have this summer in the ICC you are going to shake your head and say, ‘Isn’t that the Champions League?’” Stillitano said. “No, the Champions League is PSV and Ghent.”

This is so insulting since PSV actually BEAT MAN UTD TO REACH THE SECOND ROUND.

Fuck this fucking shit, if you want to play in the CL, WIN THE FUCKING LEAGUE

Arsenal have already made it clear that they have no interest in such a set up and, today, Steve Atkins, on behalf of Chelsea FC, has categorically denied that any such idea was even discussed at the recent meeting. The only person I have heard speak in favour of the super league idea is a continental European who is an officer of a continental European club. I think you are readily persuaded to buy into the worst possible characterisation of the situation because that's what fits with your overall outlook.
