Almost a pointless post on my part, but I could not agree more. Shame for Bayern, because they should have won the CL last year and should win it this year, but unless something changes the results suggest they won't.

I agree and can't see them dropping more than 12 points. So to stand any chance City really can't slip up any more to have any hope.

Just an off day. Usually is brilliant, but this is not the first time for Bayern. It's just stupid from Pep. You have the the two best full backs in the world and you play them in midfield. You then play a high line with Alonso/Schweinsteiger in front. Who would play Bernat and Rafinha when you...

Strange day that two best goalkeepers in the world both made terrible mistakes. Shows nobody is perfect. Big result for United, but fancied them to win. Liverpool have some decent youngsters with potential, but the current team is not that great. Henderson and Allen is a poor midfield matched...

Guardiola is just like Wenger. Great at coaching players, but keeps making terrible mistakes tactically. Only difference Guardiola has inherited the two greatest club sides in recent times. Bayern's record against top teams is very poor this season. A few weeks ago I thought he had decided to...

We did come 11th last year when we had Pulis. I just don't think there is much difference between the bottom 8/9 teams really. The biggest difference is in the management. If Leicester had say Pardew/Pulis I reckon they would be at least 14th. When we had Warnock we were played decently just...

Leverkusen were deserving winners. They had the better chances and won whilst resting a lot of first team players. Schmidt is just the better manager for me. I thought that Di Matteo would have Schalke playing more fluid football, but apart from the Madrid game (where there was no pressure) they...

Seeing Murray yesterday made me think of the Falcao situation. Obviously different levels, but similar situations. In great form scoring lots of goals and then did their ACL's. It's taken him a year and has had to go on loan to clubs at a lower level much like Murray did. Maybe like Murray he...

Another big win for us. I really like the fact that Pardew has given the players a few goals like finishing ahead of West Brom/Newcastle and catching West Ham. Played nicer stuff that last season as well. It's great that players like Jedinak, Murray, Ward and Speroni are showing just how good...

I know the whole thing was tongue in cheek making the point that Madrid had got arguably their worst possible draw when people were claiming it was rigged in favour of the big teams. 4 times in 17 years is an unbelievable record. Great teams like Juventus, Inter, United, Arsenal etc have not...

It's a cup competition and anyone can win it with a bit of 'luck' like Liverpool and Chelsea have showed. With the wide open draw this year City had a decent chance of going far, but didn't take it. Juventus and PSG might capitalise and make a run. Bayern playing sensibly apart I am not...

The difference is that if you have been injured then the player might have been playing well. If you have been dropped by Hull then the chances are you are not playing very well. As I said have not see much of Hull, but Davies (the club captain) being dropped for a sustained period suggest he...

Yeh I agree. They have clearly rigged the draw to eliminate Real Madrid. UEFA cannot handle that Madrid keep winning this trophy so they have given them the team with the best record against them in recent times. Look Madrid beat Bayern 4-0 less than a year ago in Munich. They beat Barcelona...

Who is Beaker? Jones? Not really seen any of Hull to judge, but I thought Davies has been poor this year and was dropped a lot. Has he been any good?

Yeh I know he was injured for a while since the start of the year, but he is back now and has generally been good whenever I have seen Stoke. Was good against us and he is on the mind, because we have them again. Smalling and Jones have missed a lot of football too whilst generally being very...

Thanks I think you are right. Always great to see a tricky winger.

Will be interesting how FFP effects them, because they are in a unique position like Leverkusen being a company team.

Was impressed wit him today. If I remember correct a team like Liverpool did go all out for him and they were told no.

It's not just about winning or even the fact that no English team are in the quarter finals. It's also about the performance. Had Chelsea lost on away goals without a red card, had City lose narrowly, had Arsenal lost to Bayern, had Liverpool had a group of death then things might have been...

Wolfsburg are far too open for top European football.
