I kind of agree. But actually I also quite liked watching a game where we could attack at will and not have two banks of five players just trying to stifle our team. Which I have to say has become a little bit boring to watch at times. Even if I did scream out loud when Johnny stones did finally get the equaliser against boring boring Arsenal. It was a very odd game yesterday and I found I had to keep stopping myself getting greedy and expecting us to score every time we attacked. But as the chant goes, it should’ve been 10!It was obviously a party for the Slovakian fans, but apart from giving Phil, Ortega, Nunez and McAtee game time, what do games like this do for football? It would be better if there was a league format for the top teams with promotion/ relegation for weaker European teams. Oops, just re-invented the ESL…….
Ouch!i understand your little tantrum to me not agreeing with you perfectly so ive no need to go back and re read it, at no point did i say it was an easy group i actually said they were tough games if you go back and re read it and if you do the point i was making was that while all games are tough we should not be disrespectful of how good we are and have been and that those teams will not want to face us as much as we dont them, so yes i understand your insults and strop and why but its okay mate you dont have to throw your toys and insult people just because they disagree with you, its just as easy to put together a cogent disagreement but like i say i will take your fantastic points and insults on board.
Because he could?Why did he pick ortega?
I don't remember hearing it during the commentary but they did mention it when the teams were shown just before the match started. They said about Weiss and about Mak being from ex-City.OK. I didn't hear it on the TNT feed though despite them mentioning several times that Weiss was ex-City and won the Youth Cup.
Fair enough Eccles. I only switch matches on in time for the kick off so missed it. I just found it odd that they mentioned the Weiss connection several times including when he was subbed but not the Mak connection when he came on.I don't remember hearing it during the commentary but they did mention it when the teams were shown just before the match started.

I loved the pictures of Pep talking to Weiss.
Oh I agree it was weird that they didn’t mention it again. Especially as they said such a lot about Weiss. :-)Fair enough Eccles. I only switch matches on in time for the kick off so missed it.

Well said for any lurking Arse fans, dippers and brumies :-)It's called champions league. They won there league played 3 qualifying rounds. They deserve to be there. Get a grip.
So take out all the teams who came second , third,and fourth in their domestic leagues , then we get less games simples ;-)When the draw was made they were ranked 154th in the world.
36 teams is too many. All part of what Rodri and Bernardo have been talking about with too many games and pointless games that no player asked for or were consulted about.
