Champions League Games | GW2 | 1/2 Oct '24

No reason atall why we shouldn’t be winning it again

Tbh its playing the English teams over 2 legs that I fear for some reason in this competition.

 

[ProofMCFC]

We’ve been the best team in Europe for a number of years now.

It’s a bit of a travesty we’ve only won the damn thing once.

I agree quality wise, but I always thought the experience and mentality was always lacking.

I feel the teams a bit different now, we know even the great Real Madrid are scared of us.

I wish I had a tenner for every time they've mentioned 1982. It's up there with "that night in Barcelona" for annoyability.

Sweet Caroline playing now at Villa Park. Sad cunts

 

[BigJoe#1]

Well done Villa. I am happy for them.

 

[SamBlue]

That’s because they are Doing It The Right Way™!

Organic 100%.

Yeah it’s a weird one, although Arsenal have never beaten an English team in Europe.

 

[jimharri]

What a daft haircut. Not quite Cucurella standard, though

 

[Macca77macca]

Atletico got absolutely demolished by Benfica, great night for Football fans everywhere.

awww see I have soft spot for Atletico

 

[Chak19]

It’ll be Vinicius. Which is an even bigger crime.

Vinicius was decisive in them winning the CL, involved in almost every goal in the KO stages, far more deserving than "Jude" who was invisible throughout.

 

[MMA]

It’ll be Vinicius. Which is an even bigger crime.

Rodri is the best player in the world.

I'd say that even if I supported someone else.
To go into detail is too long, what he brings and how good he is ...

 

[SebastianBlue]

Leipzig had about 20 chances to equalise in stoppage.

 

[Combat Carl]

Well done Aston Villa. I enjoyed that but having just looked at their fixtures compared to ours it's fucking bullshit this 24 team league. Their hardest game away is RB Leipzig.

Martinez just said it's their fans usually bail on them and don't sing all in one interview.

Bayern, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid all lose and yet none of them will have any concerns about qualifying thanks to the new format. Zero jeopardy in it. Such a dreadful, boring new format.

All by design.

I have a soft spot for Athletico

If the league stays like this, it’d be Barca vs Real Madrid in the playoffs.

(I think…)

 

[Middedon]

I think it'd because they wear rings that have to be covered.

I think that’s why Josko tapes his fingers. But Phil’s is usually too big for that.

It's absolutely fuckin bizarre that so many players the last few years are wearing hand bandages for so long in the season.
Vardy practically worn one all season in there title season.
Never ever known it to be like that before.
That's including our own.

What the reason is I don't know but it is strange....

Vardy played with a broken wrist most of that season and I believe had to have surgery and a bone graft in the off season. So that was somewhat explainable. But there are so many now that wear them - they can’t all have broken wrists!
