The UEFA Club Competitions Thread 2020/2021

[helge]

Who has played for 6 of the 8 quarter finalists, 3 of the semi finalists and both finalists in the 2002-2003 CL ?

Yes, Ed.

The common guess. He has been around

[Edmond]

Roma giving it to Utd.

Luke Shaw back to Southampton in the summer, taking that zebra away kit with him.

[strigils]

Hand your transfers in lads, no European footie next season

[Edmond]

I never really got into gambling, but thought fok it, put a few hundred nicker on Mendy winning the Champions League.

Which Mendy? Man City defender or Chelsea's goalkeeper? Or was the bet just one of them?

[Edmond]

...

Help him out Syb.


(It's a crap joke as both finalists have a player called Mendy)

[PAG]

Whilst both Manchester teams are favourites to win their respective competitions, nothing can be taken for granted. Chelsea have the psycological advantage of already having put City out of the FA Cup, and an opportunity tomorrow to inflict further doubt in their Premier League game at the Etihad. Similarly for United, in Unai Emery, Villareal have a proven winner (3 consecutive Europa League cups with Sevilla).

You guys seem to think there's only two Mendys out there?

[Steady]

^ They are talking about football players not beachball lookalikes, bud

[Edmond]

Can Mendy and Dill please go at it, so I can rename the DH thread 'The Battle of the Bulge'.

[Joe 90]

Chelsea have the psycological advantage of already having put City out of the FA Cup

I beg to differ on that point.

They played our B team in the FA cup.

[strigils]

^ Yep, I am going Utd.

[helge]

It will be a pub quiz question in the future

• Q: Who was the only non-British player to make the Top 20 goalscorers list in the first season of the Premier League in 1992-93?

[Edmond]

Zlatan.

[helge]

^Satan

[cyrille]

Cantona?

[helge]

Yes ...

[hallelujah]

Can you name the three teams with the most clean sheets in Europe's "top 5" leagues?

[helge]

Me ?

No

Reckon that I could guess one though

[hallelujah]

Me ?

No

Reckon that I could guess on though

Go on then, you silly Danish sausage

[helge]

Man U ?

you silly Danish sausage

And I had an invitation for a pub crawl from Seeking A

Thanks a lot

[hallelujah]

Man U ?

Well, of course.

1. City
2. Chelsea
3. United

All English.

Not one Italian team in there. Even though it's a shit league, you'd think there'd be one of them boring their way into this mini table.

[helge]

Not one Italian

Ha!

Some 30 years back I had an expression:
Anyone asked me for my plans sunday afternoon, I'd answer with : Don't know, probably watch some italian football.

(meaning laying low with hangover or just lazy. My brothers still uses it...against me )

I'm not a fan of italian football.

[hallelujah]

Me too. I really tried as well, but fucking hell is it boring.

You can get more than 3/1 on Villareal for this. Surely those odds are quite generous given Emery's track record in the competition?

Also, of the last 16 times Spanish teams have faced non-Spanish opponents in a final, they've won 15 times. Mental stat, that is.
