The Premier League

The best hope is Chelsea somehow winning ties with 2 efforts on goal per game.

You look at this Monaco team, and they show how shit technically our team is. Monaco know how to pass out of danger and not just hoof the ball every for damn clearance.

@DYC. Was spot on with his post yesterday. shocking stuff from the PL teams man.

WE have the best chance I think .. Don't you ????

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

Monaco showing how you properly see out a result..by fucking keeping posseion for minutes at a time. Brilliant display!

I remember saying in the "Champions league knock-out draw" thread that Monaco will give Arsenal a very difficult time but some people, mostly the ones that don't watch a lot of European football were saying otherwise and even criticizing me. Even despite the loss of Rodriguez and Falcao, Monaco still have a lot of good, young, strong and technical players.

Masterclass of a performance from monaco. This is counter attacking football done right. If we play like this in big games, more often than not, majority of those draws we have been having would be 3 pts and no one would complain. Even their game management has been excellent i,e keeping the ball well high up the pitch and running down the clock.

I do, but anything can happen. You can't be too confident in this tournament.

This is gonna be terrible for English football if no one gets through the KO's..

Another thing is this. I hope the FA and the Premier League are proud of their work watching this. With their clandestine manipulations at the top of the league table, using their hand-picked referees to influence the outcome of games. We saw it last season with Liverpool and we've seen it this season worse than ever with us.

They've weakened the Premier League in their bid to make it "tight" at the top, to market their product as the "best league in the world" . They've merely suceeded in making it a laughing stock in Europe. Right now, the Spanish League is much better. Much better.

What made the PL great 7-10 years ago was US. It was Roman Abramovich. Through his finances, when he made us the dominant team in England, Man United had to spend and work harder to reach our level. That dominance made them stronger and it had a rob on effect on other clubs like Liverpool and eventually a trickle-down effect on the rest of the top 10 teams to get their act together. The FA and PL don't want a dominant team BUT it's exactly that dominant team that will make the EPL the best league in the world again.

Gary Neville had a great article on this on The Telegraph.

(P.S : what the hell is wrong with the editing on this forum and the notification bell?)

I blame the FA, Liverpool and the Man U board. All fucked up majorly.
