Man I really wanna watch the Barca match, cause we're playing with all the talented youngsters from the second team, but then again who wants to miss Chelsea getting kicked out of the Champions League?

2-0! COME ON!

Woah shit:


The average age of today's Barca team is 22.7 years... Pinto, 36 years old, and Maxwell, 30 years old made the average a bit higher.

Romeu got booked for that? You must be having a laugh. It was a quality tackle. Romeu has put in another solid performance!

Now go beat City for me,on Monday.

[Innovation]

Beating Valencia 3-0 and Genk holding Bayer? Couldn't have been better! If you told me we'd finish top of the group after we lost against Bayer, I would have probably thought you were mad. Up the Blues!

but then again who wants to miss Chelsea getting kicked out of the Champions League?

3-0.

Now for city to put the final nail in their Premier League coffin.

Or for Bayern to knock out City. Not like they have to do that job though.

[Innovation]

To be fair, does any Chelsea fan truly believe we still have a shoot at winning the league? City wouldn't be putting a "nail" in our "coffin" by any means as we're not even challenging for it anymore. However, Chelsea could do damage to City's challenge by beating them.

[SajN]

Never say never.

You have learned from me I see

If we win on Monday I really still think we can sneak up there, last year, we were at a point more then 12 pts behind United, we turned it back to a stipulation where if we beat them at old trafford we would've been first in the last 3 weeks of the league, unfortunately that did not happen, but we can always turn it around

This. We was actually 15 points behind United from what I recall. We brought that down to 2 before the old trafford game. Never say never.

Don't get me wrong, I don't completely discard our chances by any means, but I just don't see it happening. But, as Lello said, we did put up a good fight this time last year so there is a glimmer of hope, especially how much better we've played recently.

[Innovation]

indeed

Actually yeah, thinking about it I suppose you two are right. It's not totally over.. yet. The thing that bugs me is our defensive problems. I don't think we can compete with City if we play that high line. Although today we did play deeper and Luiz's decision making was much improved.

I love AVB lmao.

He reminds me of Jose in press conferences. He's not afraid to say what he thinks. But yeah, it will only encourage the media. Props to AVB though.
