Champions League Last 16 Draw - RB Leipzig

[BufordUSABlue]

I'd quite like Frankfurt, lived there for a little while and quite liked the place, wouldn't mind a trip over.

Me too 93, I stayed there for the German WC and had a great time!

Frankfurt had a small old town when I went a few years ago but nice enough.
Rough around the station though.

Have they not got some wannabe hoolies knocking around? Could do without another kick in after those cowardly twats at Sporting Lisbon.

Ah they're like most German fanbases, mental in the stadium but unless you've a rep or go looking for trouble it's unlikely you'll see it.

Yes it will, like it or not

What an absolute crock of shit. The Premier League is the biggest money making racket in football, it's a bastardised offshoot of our English top division but we still relish winning it year after year. Do the people banging on about Uefa's "corrupt cash cow" not see the irony in this? There are two major honours in club football for the biggest teams, two that are regarded as the benchmark: the domestic league and the European Cup. If you look back at the truly great teams of the last few decades, all of them will have a European Cup and a domestic league; won either as a double, or within a season or two of consecutive league wins. That's the reality. We've only won one of them. It's high time we won the other.

Burying your head in the sand and pretending our failures in it are insignificant is a classic defence mechanism.

And by the way, I haven't played FIFA in about twenty years and have no idea who Jake Paul is. But I'm now at the point where I want to see us lift this trophy before all others.

You seem to equate commercial success with corruption which isn’t the case at all with the PL. In fact the outstanding worldwide commercial success of the PL is down in no small part to the purity of the competition and the very clear meritocratic nature of it. The English top flight, however it’s been branded has maintained the same format and conditions for decades. Each team plays the other home and away and the team that accrues the most points wins the league. It’s never changed other than a reduction in the number of competing teams. Entry to the PL is meritocratic and has had only one minor change in decades

Contrast this with the clusterfuck of made up ever changing rules and regulations that bastardise the CL. Pre qualifying, various arbitrary qualifying criteria all based not on a meritocracy but on money, extra places awarded arbitrarily, spurious coefficients, spurious seeding processes, teams from the same country kept apart, one group stage, two group stages etc etc etc

It’s utter shite and the very antithesis of the pure sporting competition that is the PL and that’s why the overwhelming majority of City fans would prefer to win the PL

It’s not done Arsenal any damage

We could be doing with a couple of the English teams getting knocked out in the next round. Ruins the competition when we end up facing them and play like shite. Then go on to hammer them in the league. Fucking annoying.
