Bigdoggsteel Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 For once United get a relatively tricky group. I think they may end up in the Europa league Liverpool will top that group I reckon I fancy city to do well this year, Semis at least Quote
roversfan99 Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Tottenham definitely in the group of death with no weak teams in there. Inter have made some good signings in the summer so will be a big threat, and PSV are the weakest side in there but they do have Lozano. United and Liverpool have also got groups that youd probably fancy them to get through in but with Valencia and Napoli as well as the giants of Juventus and PSG, itll make for some interesting games.

Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted August 31, 2018 Moderation Lead Posted August 31, 2018 Napoli have been good in recent years in the CL, now especially under Ancelotti they will be a tough test for Liverpool, they'll need to tread carefully. Quote
philipl Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 Liverpool and Spuds are in tricky groups. disUnited to come bottom of their group. Quote

All 3 are through as are Man City. Although only City go through as group winners. Alisson paid off his transfer fee last night. Quote

I watched the Liverpool game and doubt that anybody would have quibbled if the result was 6-2 in Liverpool's favour, they missed a hatful. Napoli should have had 2. Spurs had a bad start but mad eit by the skin of their teeth. They were unlucky last year, hopefully they'll do better this time out. Quote
Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted December 12, 2018 Moderation Lead Posted December 12, 2018 Liverpool were very good last night, just wasteful in front of goal. Napoli were overawed by the occasion and froze imo. Alisson’s save really was something though! The difference in their defence since him and Van Dijk signed has been like night and day. Quote
Backroom DE. Posted December 12, 2018 Backroom Posted December 12, 2018 Confident finish from Phil Jones there. Wrong net mind, but well taken nonetheless. Quote
Backroom Tom Posted December 12, 2018 Backroom Posted December 12, 2018 The most Phil Jones thing ever Quote
speeeeeeedie Posted December 17, 2018 Author Posted December 17, 2018 2018-2019 knockout stage draw; Schalke vs. Manchester City Atletico Madrid vs. Juventus Manchester United vs. Paris Saint-Germain Tottenham vs. Borussia Dortmund Lyon vs. Barcelona Roma vs. Porto Ajax vs. Real Madrid Liverpool vs. Bayern Munich I'll give Roma-Porto a miss but the rest should be good games. Quote
old darwen blue Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 The Dortmund fans will make a hell of a noise in Spurs new stadium, may be worth watching that game. 1 Quote
philipl Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Three of the four English club ties look tasty and could go either way. City should have too much for Schalke. Atletico v Juve probably pick of the round. Porto v Roma will provide the team everyone wants in the last eight. Quote

I can't see them scoring 3 without reply in Paris, No Pogba either. Last night was a reality check for Man U. PSG are a good side. Man U were never at the races. They looked more like Mourinho's team than the one that's been beating inferior opposition over the last few months. Porto got beat 2-1 in Rome. That tie is wide open. Spurs v. Dortmund today. Should be interesting. Quote
Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted February 13, 2019 Moderation Lead Posted February 13, 2019 1st half, United were decent to be fair. They went to pieces when Lingard and Martial got injured. 2nd half, admittedly, it was men against boys..... Quote
speeeeeeedie Posted February 14, 2019 Author Posted February 14, 2019 After last night's performance it looks like Spurs will see off Dortmund. But it is Spurs. Vertongen was woeful in the first half, and terrific in the second. Ajax lost 2-1 to Real. They look like a good side though. Unfortunately it won't last though, the big boys will come in and sign all their good players. Quote

Great to see I said that with Special K in charge but they have improved since. Saying that, it does seem that OGS has to prove it against good teams. Quote
SBlue Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 PSG even without Neymar are still a top, top side with one of the best managers around. If in ten years Mbappe isn’t talked about as in the same bracket as C. Ronaldo I’ll be stunned. He’s just gone 20. Di Maria is back to his actual self. Draxler, Alves, Silva, Buffon - it’s a better team than United all day and I wouldn’t judge OGS on it at all. I wouldn’t write PSG off to win the thing tbh even if they do play teams of farmers most weeks. Quote
Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted February 16, 2019 Moderation Lead Posted February 16, 2019 PSG are a sensational side, Tuchel to be fair to him, seems to be doing the business. For me, the CL is wide open this year and would be the best opportunity for any of the outsiders to step in! 1 Quote
speeeeeeedie Posted February 20, 2019 Author Posted February 20, 2019 Not much action yesterday. Liverpool-Bayern 0-0 Lyon-Barcelona 0-0 I expect Barcelona to cruise at home against Lyon. Bayern-Liverpool is much closer. I think that the edge goes to Bayern. They are at home, and Liverpool have lost all their away games in the Champs League this season. However, the Germans won't play like they did at Anfield. They will attack more leaving more space for Liverpool to exploit on the break. Liverpool will also have van Dijk back. Quote
AllRoverAsia Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 I watched Liverpool v Bayern until HT, 4 am-ish here, and fell asleep. Woke up thinking Bayern might have just sneeked a 0-1. I now fancy Liverpool to score at least 1 in the away leg so in with a chance with van Dijk back. Thought a few Liverpool players were a bit off in the half I saw, Robinson was one of then but both Bayern wingers (?) are hot. I am not wasting sleep on City though. Quote
Ewood Ace Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Barcelona looked terrible again last night, how Valverde has got himself a new contract I don't know. Suarez dreadful again, he looks more and more past it with each game. The two midfielders of Rakitic and Roberto move the ball as slowly as Evans and Smallwood, take Arthur out of their midfield and they are a pretty average side last night was the perfect chance for Coutinho to play in midfield. It's sad to watch Barca these days after the ground breaking football they played a few years, their game plan now is to hope Messi and Dembele produce some individual brilliance in attack and to rely on ter-Stegen (the best goalkeeper in the world for me) to make great saves at the other end. I'd still back Barca to go through at the Camp Nou but I wouldn't rule Lyon out from springing a shock. Looking forward to the Atletico Juventus game tonight, should be a cracker. Quote
