Fortunately its a really hard game, esp that defender with these tattooed tiny twig-arms of porto has brought an axe with him today.

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

but the ref is pretty much pro benfica

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Yeah. which is a shame really. If done with proper precautions i.e as long as it's not high up in the stands, there's no problem with terraces

Agree. I heard/also read that Aston Villa are trying to be the first English top flight (if not relegated) team to bring back Terraces.

And also read that CFC fans support group have been trying and trying to get one at the bridge if Aston Villa due indeed get their own standing area and things all work out fine.

I hope it comes back to the EPL man, cuz watching football matches is 100x better when the fans are chantin from 1st to 90th min.

Wigan and Atletico's win has given me a huge believe that Bundeschoker might flop once again versus Dortmund. Would be hilarious to see Mario Gotze score in the winning goal in that game, or simply scores the final penalty kick and then celebrating like a c*nt in front of the Bayern crowd. Impossible is nothing.

When is the final?

[Morodo 56]

Porto won the league!

Three in a row.

And its 10 years today since Porto's Mourinho won the Uefa Cup vs Celtic

Aah. There goes the fun..

Can someone tell me is there a chance that Arsenal can play against Milan to qualify for UCL group stages.

I really want that they miss the UCL this season after they spend 70 mil.

Unlikely as both have a pretty good coefficients and they are likely to be in 'seeded' pot for the play-off draw.

UEFA have announced that the 2015 Champions League final will be played in Berlin. Next season's final will be in Benfica's Estadio da Luz by the way.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/may/23/uefa-champions-league-europa-league?CMP=twt_gu

Uefa also announced that the 2015 Champions League final would be in Berlin, with the Europa League final in Warsaw.

And also...

Uefa is set to award a place in the Champions League to the winners of the Europa League from the 2014-15 season, in order to make that competition more attractive, with an announcement expected on Friday.

Other plans under consideration include whether to award a fifth Champions League place to clubs in the big European leagues and to expand the number of Europa League places on offer.

Bayern have ALREADY booked Champions League party until 5am at posh hotel (and they haven't even arrived in London)

Bayern Munich’s lavish party planning for after the Champions League final at Wembley on Saturday suggests they don’t envisage being beaten by Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund.

The Bundesliga champions have booked the Great Room in the Grosvenor House Hotel with a buffet for 1,800 people and a bar extension to 5am.

so there are rumours that UEFA wants to award the EL winners with a place in the CL, what would happen in the following hypothetical situation:

PL:

1. utd

2. City

3. Arsenal

4. Tottenham

5. Chelsea-but win CL

6. Liverpool-but win EL

6 teams from England go to CL ?

Very hard to imagine that Liverpool will win something.

This is very normal for every sports club. If we had the idea of how many commemorative shirts, hats, parties, etc, get waisted because of teams failures, we would all go crazy!!!

Well we won and Spurs git knocked out, having finished 4th. Similarly they will knock out the 3rd place team as well if this situation arises. I guess.

I don't think i would go crazy about it, might go 'Ah! Shit - it's so large!' -phrasing. And then i would probably look at something more interesting, like looking at a cat in a hammock and say 'Ha! Stupid cats doing human things like they're humans. But... they aren't... their cats!'.
