The UEFA Club Competitions Thread 2020/2021

^ it just staggers me how they can't address it, three managers. Wenger spent most of his last 5 years buying midfielders and mediocre ones at that. Still when you are at the bottom there's only one way to go.......it can't get worse in the Championship.

You could put a decent back four out from the players we've got, but the way he is making them play is what's making them vulnerable.

But WTF he's doing putting Xhaka at LB I have no idea.

[strigils]

Trouble is they keep making the same stupid mistakes and you can't manage that aside from selling them. Up to 1-2 years ago it was masked by Arse scoring more than they let in but now Auba seems to be pulling an Ozil.

[strigils]

Anyway, you can close this thread and handle the two remaining viable English clubs through their respective team threads

Haha.

That away goal is crucial and I think you'll do em.

[strigils]

^ hope we don't, it'll just help continue to support the current farce Arse have become. I said before the one thing Arteta has done is bring in some of the youngsters but at the same time some so called experienced professionals seem to be treading water, its only Saka, Emille, Teirney, Odegaard and Martinelli who've bailed us out at times surround by individuals on more money than the whole youth team combined - its a disgrace.

I never really got into gambling, but thought fok it, put a few hundred nicker on Anelka's former club winning the Champions League.

[harrybarracuda]

It will be a sad day for football if the plastics buy the CL. Gives all the other teams an excuse for pushing this ESL shite.

[Joe 90]

Be interesting to see how Chelsea defend against our A team in Istanbul, me thinks some payback for the FA Cup.

15 years ago it could have been a Man Utd v Arsenal final.

How far the red halfs of their respective cities have fallen.

C'mon City

How much did you lose?

Or were you just talking shit as usual?

[Edmond]

How much did you lose?

Or were you just talking shit as usual?

You do realize it's a joke, right..... because..... he played for all 4 semi-finalists.


Oh, I guess you didn't.

Christ, no wonder you've been labeled as Simple Sybil.

[cyrille]

Nah, that was far too fucking dull to spend time working out.

Still, looking forward to your update on your lunch today.

[Edmond]

to spend time working out.

That you'd need to work out that a world famous controversial striker (who played for your hometown club) played for 4 of the biggest teams in Europe, and won the European Championship, Premier Leagues and European Cups along the way, there's very little hope for you when it comes to footballing knowledge.


Christ, he even played for West Brom.

[cyrille]

Thanks for proving my point.

[Edmond]

How much did you lose?

he played for all 4 semi-finalists.

Thanks

Welcome. :-)

[armstrong]

Oof his know it all pride took a hit there. That's going to take a while to recover from.

[cyrille]

Oh look, it's TD's most henpecked husband letting more angst go.

[Edmond]

That's going to take a while to recover from.

Evidently so.

[Steady]

that was far too fucking dull to spend time working out.

Common knowledge to any proper fan.

The shame.

[Joe 90]

I recall his time at Man City being his most fruitful.

[Steady]

That's going to take a while to recover from.

The equivalent of being nutmegged in front of a packed Hawthorns

[armstrong]

Oh look, it's TD's most henpecked husband letting more angst go.

Let it out cyrille, you'll heal quicker.

[Edmond]

Common knowledge to any proper fan.

He really only had to remember that Anelka played for both Man City and Chelsea, given he thinks I'd have lost the bet.


Don't ever enter a pub quiz on world famous controversial strikers that West Brom have signed Syb.

[Edmond]

It will be a pub quiz question in the future, which player played for 5 of the 8 teams that were in one season's CL and EL semi-finals?




5.... He didn't play for Roma or Villarreal, did he....

.... question not directed at Syb, obviously.

[helge]

Zlatan ?

[Edmond]

Zlatan ?

Was actually thinking he'd be the most common answer.

Hard to believe he's never won the CL.
