Shitchester united loses to Basel. With an almost fully fit squad.  

 

What a great game it is going to be when we play Atletico in London. We're already qualified but it's do or die for them. Happy days

Shitnited are one of the luckiest cocksuckers I've ever seen in Europe. They got a joke draw in Europa league last season and now got another pathetic group in CL. Hopefully they get Real next round so they can fuck off, freaking overachievers.

Nevermind Real Madrid or Bayern, I genuinely think Roma would kick United out. Even this Juventus which is the worst version of last years would have no problems thumping them. 

But watch United draw Seville or Shakhtar.

Even before 5th round, why was everyone cutting Napoli off already? 

There was only 10000 of 60000 people at san paolo, and they call themselves loyal napoli fans?

Yes 6 points was a big big task, but they played shakhtar at home (and won), and they play feyenoord next, while shakhtar plays vs city in england. 

IMO napoli still has very big chance to finish 2nd.

Hell even Atletico can still do it if they beat us, Roma are big bottlers and wouldnt surprise me if they dont win against qarabag.

Mourinho's face arriving back in Manchester

[Leif 6,006]

Even Arsenal have 5 at the back now. It's actually embarrassing how so many English teams have jumped on this since we started doing so for ourselves. Lack of confidence in their own systems? Trying to emulate what works for others, instead of figuring out what works for their players?

Mourinho actually criticized this formation, called it "fashionable" or whatever.. and a few games later, what do I see? Mou playing 5 at the back for the first time in his life, emulating our formation. Wanker.

More needs to be said of the fact Valencia are still unbeaten this season. 

Their manager said near the start of the season that for his philosophy, it was so important to have young players (on loan) who felt frustrated or hopeless at their parent club - it creates a combo of young-dreamers who believe they can beat anyone (much easier to believe you can beat Barcelona when you're 21 than 31), it creates a group that don't consider themselves too wise to question the manager's methods, and it creates a group with something to prove to their parent clubs. 

I don't think this recruitment policy would work as well the 2nd or 3rd time round, but it's working this time, because the manager understands mentality rules all.

I wonder where Guedes will end up next summer. I don't think PSG will use him, I don't think Valencia can afford him, and so I imagine it'll be Atletico for him. They love to sign wingers who could be hit-or-miss before addressing their actually important areas (full backs), so it seems written in the stars. But following this season, will PSG let him leave cheap?

I'd most like to see him at Roma, but they've just spunked so much funds on forwards lately (to no avail, which is hard to stomach.)

Valencia vs. Barcelona tonight.

Most interesting game of the season so far. I've little hope for Valencia, but just have to watch it.

Sadly Monaco are a shadow of last season. And Psg got better. Would be realy interesting match otherwise.
