*Official* English Football Season 2013-14

[sledger]

Credit to Liverpool, they absolutely humiliated Tottenham.

One suspects the knives are being drawn so far as AVB is concerned. Getting thrashed 5-0 at home without managing a shot on target is terrible whichever way you slice it, and that's before you consider the level of investment that's gone into their squad. At least he's not rolling out the excuses/demanding respect this week.

Liverpool were impressive, Spurs were pants. You would think it may be difficult for Spurs and Man U to make Champions League now as they have to catch the top 5 and hope that 2 of them drop off. I doubt Everton will do it but they look good this season and have only lost once despite playing all the big guns now.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Top four really starting to take shape. Reckon you could do worse than betting on those four to end there (different order).

Furball to comment etc

Furball to comment etc

Yeah, Tottenham will probably sort themselves out eventually.

 

[Ikki]

According to Guardian, AVB just got sacked.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Well, better than Mr Infantino's pointless chatter

 

[Nate]

Not even sorry.

 

[Cevno]

City get Barcelona.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

So I hear Barcelona always get easy draws

 

[Cevno]

United get Olyampiakos.

 

[Pothas]

United get Olyampiakos.

Will be so funny when they lose.

 

[Cevno]

City vs Barcelona
Olympiakos vs United
Milan vs Atletico
Leverkusen vs PSG
Galatasaray vs Chelsea
Schalke vs Real Madrid
Zenit vs Dortmund
Arsenal vs Bayern

 

[Pothas]

Good draw, can't wait for Barca v City.

No great surprise. Wonder who will come in. Luis Enrique mentioned after the City defeat and there are the Baldini connections but still seems strange, has done nothing in his managerial career.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Olympiakos is IMO one of the worse draws we could have got. Still should win though really.

City v Barcelona should be excellent. Suspect Arsenal are heading out though.

 

[Uppercut]

I thought it was one of the better ones. But tbf I haven't seen much of them lately.

They were all horrible draws but Arse and Citeh got the most horrible ones possible.

 

[Pothas]

Obviously the big news of the day is Bees bringing in David Weir as assistant manager, pretty happy with our appointments over the last week.

Well compared to Milan (12th in Italy), Schalke (6th in Germany, comfortably worse than Leverkusen), Galatasaray (miles off top in Turkey, hardly the strongest of leagues) they look quite tough.

Zenit probably the only side I'd have as close to as good but then they looked pretty rubbish in the group stages.

I don't think Olympiakos are that good but they're the toughest draw IMO almost by default as everyone else we could have got are worse.

 

[Tom Halsey]

It's quite a bad CL draw for Liverpool actually.

Alan Smith on SSN said Capello was at White Hart Lane yesterday. With Baldini already there it starts a nice rumour anyway.
