And Lyon finished 7th in the league, they're hardly world beaters. They are this seasons Ajax. Bayern will gobble them up, next round. If the French league is so good, how come Mbappe was the only domestic player in the starting XI for all of France's 2018 World Cup knock-out games. "Show me on the doll where Ligue Un hurt you..."

You can also take in consideration that Ligue 1 have had a 4 month break then warm up matches to get them ready for the Champions League knock out stages. All of the top leagues had an intense schedule of games then straight into the Champions League matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan of Scottish football I usually like to pretend the latter stages of the Champions League don’t exist, but I’m really enjoying the way they’re doing this. I’d love to see it continue in future seasons if they can find a way of squeezing it into the football calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 What a wonderful final. The Europa League REALLY is the place where the big boys play huh? Imagine, we could've had United stinking that up instead of the wonderful Sevilla shithousing all over the shop. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 26, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 26, 2020 Scotland's coefficient is lower than the Isle of Man's now, surely. Knew I should have put a tenner on Ferencvaros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the point where we will have TWO teams embarrassing themselves in the Champions League Preliminary Qualifying Round next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 So, the Czech Republic have had to hastily assemble a squad to face Scotland, after the squad who played on Friday, were placed in quarantine. If Scotland don't win, could this be one of their biggest failures ever?* *Never forget the Faroe Islands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingofSports Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 So the Messi saga didn't turn out to be a drawn-out affair after all. Pretty lame really. I wanna leave. Well, you can't. Oh, OK then. He's stuck there, somewhat against his will for another 10 months. If things improve, I guess he'll be happy to stay longer. Just seemed a bit of a hissy fit anyway, because Barca only finished 2nd in the league & didn't reach the UCL semi's. To be fair, they're nowhere near unbeatable these days, but I think all things considered, there are people out there with greater issues to deal with. Disappointing that he (or those around him) didn't check the 'facts', beforehand. Though, he still believes he should have been able to leave, just isn't prepared to take the club to court. Which considering the past 17 or so years is reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
