Champions League 16/17

[moomba]

No FC did get a lot of comment when the badge was released, and is one aspect that a lot would change.

Have to say I'm not fussed. I know what we are.

"FC" on a professional club's logo is arguably redundant.

Judging from what I can see... a yacht club?

At least that rightmost flag is actually pointing the right way for the first time in years.

finally caught up on what pep had to say after the game. really like that he was full of praise and singled out sterling. said that he's doing all the right things just needs to ensure that he keeps out of trouble and out of the news off the field.

called out otamendi for his diving in tackles too. worked out in one game what was wrong whereas pelle did nothing about it all of last season.

I absolutely loved that. Otamendi diving in has pissed me off all last season, to the extent I would have been happy to see him sold.

it was the worst i could remember seeing from a premier league footballer. and demi's was pretty bloody bad when he came over too.

plenty of melts at the tv when he would basically spring up into defensive midfielder and dive in for no reason.

Hart starting tomorrow night apparently, which would be a nice touch before we tell him to **** off.

Going to my first champions league game in a couple of years, taking the kids along to their second and first games.

 

[Magma]

hope he gives a few others a run out too. angelino, tosin, kelechi, whoever else is available to play. wouldn't be adverse in the slightest to just giving everyone a rest after such a high intensity opening 3 games.

joe
maffeo tosin stones angelino
delph fernando
navas yaya sterling
kelechi

i dont know what the rules are with b list players however

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Back where we belong! MON THE HOOPS!!!!!

 

[Donnie Darko]

Made hard work of teams from Gibraltar , Kazakhstan and Israel..
All those 3 teams took them to the brink. If they get a tough draw I dont like their chances.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Didn't say we'd win it. It's a long way from the pish being served up in the past few years and we're heading back in the right direction.

Winning it again would be nice though.

 

[Cruyff14]

What time is the draw?

 

[moomba]

Our game was dire. Proper dead rubber stuff. Good to see some kids play. Hart got a good send off.

But not one for the DVD collection.

 

[Fryer Tuck]

So, just for referance, here are the pots:

Barca with a Catalan flag and Monaco with a French flag... what a complete silly.

Fair to say that for any foreign club, they would want us as the Pot 1 team, because that means they don't have to play Arsenal, City or Tottenham, who are the hardest opponents in those pots.

As long as we don't get Atletico and/or Monaco, I don't mind who we get, because I feel like we can do well enough to at least compete for top 2 in the Group.

 

[Fryer Tuck]

What time is the draw?

1am Friday for us East-enders.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Phew at least we'll miss being drawn with Ludogorets Razgrad.

I'm glad the seeding system sees more Eastern European teams qualify seeing as they are champions. Gives the competition some legitimacy rather than being an England/Spain/Italy/Germany axis of wank.

 

[elhadjihenry]

Benfica, Brugge and Copenhagen please.

will end up with Bayern Munich, PSV and Monaco

What time is the draw?

5pm London time which is actually 2am not 1am.

My foxtel says otherwise. Coverage starts at 1:30am
The time difference between London and Sydney is wrong. It is presently 11:16am that's 9 hours behind.
17:00 to 01:00 is only 8 hours apart.

Hmm, that is odd. That is a good catch... I didn't even notice London's time there.

Shows how much they care about us then.

 

[Magma]

for people wondering, the draw is on beinsports 2 and the coverage has been on for 25 mins.


massive shame.

 

[ADL9798]

As a Liverpool supporter, I really want to make a joke about United not being in tonight's draw, but I can't, because I'm a Liverpool supporter.

F*****g sort your shit out Liverpool.

If he keeps it up it'll be matchday 1 before the draw is finished.
