Its rare the best team wins it. I doubt they win it this year. An off night in front of goal and they concede enough on shaky games. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t even get furthest English club.

I can really see City winning the quad this year. If Haaland doesn't get injured.

I think the opposite, they got injuries starting to return now at the right time, Phillips and Laporte coming on, Gomez and Alvarez starting to look adjusted to peps style and Haaland will get a good rest over the world cup. Plus they can go and buy whoever shines at the world cup without a second thought. They'll just have to pray they don't inherit any injuries from the tournament.

Quad a real possibility and like I said a few months ago and was laughed at, I think they'll storm the league regardless with Arsenal their closest rivals.

Neil Lennon must be sadistic to manage in Cyprus.

Must be having factor 100 on 24/7.

I think we need to be concerned about his mental health. He must have taken getting sacked by Celtic badly since he's gone from a team in green and white hoops with a shamrock on the badge to managing a team in green and white hoops with a shamrock on the badge

Robbie Savage and Ian Darke, winning combination.

 

[Robbo]

This is really very painful.

 

[fez]

Not Celtic take the lead

 

[Converge]

What the hell was that pass to Malacia about… let alone Malacia’s subsequent calamity.

 

[JamesH85]

Wow that was abit of a howler, should comeback and batter these though.

 

[fez]

We’ve gone back to the days of the opposition having numbers on us in defence and attack somehow.

It almost feels hard to achieve that at this level.

 

[adam cool dude]

Shades of what happened against that Turkish team in the champions League.

 

[fez]

I sometimes think Ronaldo is going to injure himself with the amount of arm flinging he does every time someone other than himself loses the ball.

 

[The Running Man]

It's why getting into the CL would just be embarrassing.

Clearly something just wrong.

Maybe could just be one of those underdog performances though. Teams on the pitch values about 10million Vs 420million.

Every time we play?

As it stands we are bottom of the group.

Ok suppose so, however city aside performances had picked up. Results at least.

 

[Robbo]

These games are just weird, the opponents aren't well known but can be fairly solid, and breaking down teams is always tricky.

We are playing very badly though.

Edit :: finally, nice finish by Rashford

 

[Converge]

Nice to see Rashford recover after an initial touch for a change.

 

[Robbo]

Lovely from Martial, smoothly done.
