Did CL Group D (of death) hurt our league chances?

You msy have a point

Our chances of retaining the title were over as soon as we completely fucked up the summer transfer window.

This, I do agree with. We got rid of players without bringing in someone who was equally as good or even better!

Don't often agree with the second rate Al Pacino but he's got a point.

Real Madrid
Borussia Dortmund
Man City
(Ajax)

Three teams, were all winners in their respective leagues season prior. Interestingly, all three are now behind with quite a bit of point deficit.

No...

We are so far behind because of 3 main reasons.

1, Nasri is a pussy and a coward.
2, Piss poor performance away to Southampton.
3. The strikers have not been scoring enough to pick up the points in all the draws we have had.

Simple...

Point 2 is only one very small part to the whole season, 3 points of a total 114. It's really fuck all. Teams lose to teams down the bottom in many leagues, United lost at Norwich Barça have lost at Socienad, last season Madrid lost at Getafe and we lost at Sunderland (this and last season. These things happen and aren't main reasons why teams are behind in a title race.

These things happen, as dn says, in a Summer transfer window and through every game from 1-38.

Sorry, but it sounds like you're saying that dropping points isn't the reason we're behind in the title race. Shirley not?

Mourinho said when the Group was announced that the Group would drain his team and affect his teams League chances

Of course it affects your league form - they are extremely draining games, the like of which our rivals did not play. As soon as they played Madrid you saw what happened, they gave their worst performance of the season at home to Chelsea.

We'll have the same issue again next season.

Better get some good players in then.

Might have something with that Southampton defeat :)

We were 3 points behind after last CL game so it had f'all with it.

I still blame it on the derby. If only tevez had started :O(

Doesn't matter who you have - the best players will be drained by games such as these

Dortmund are 20 points behind Bayern.
