Atletico should take 2nd in that group or even top it.

oh it thought it was that Daniel Alves thuggy lol

nah, i had never heard of that guy before. 30 million is crazy money to play for a player like isnt it.

Apparently he was gonna be the next big thing but went the money route to Keiv (abit like Nery Castillo, couldve gone to Valencia but joined Shaktor Donestk and flopped). Still hell of alot of money. But they are run by trillionaires.

Daniel Alves only joined Barca this summer .

btw lol at Atletico being 4th seeds. They could potentially win it. There squad is awesome

Aguero
Forlan
Simao
Maxi
Maniche
Banega
Heitinga
Ufajlusi (sp)
Paulo Assancao
Luis Garcia

if they cant beat Bolton then they cant win Champions League.

Daniel Alves cost Barca about 30 million as well didnt he?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

It's not as simple as that.

Remember Bolton beat Man Utd last season, beat Arsenal too, drew with Chelsea. Bolton do well against the bigger teams coz they just lump it forward and just thump the opposition players. They could probably get a result against Barcelona at the Reebok. The are awful when the play lesser teams as those teams are used to that sort of play.

The 2nd leg Bolton played a 10 - 1 - 0. lol.

Aguero to rip teams in the Champions League! (hopefully)

Daniel Alves cost like 32 million Euros.

Thimas Ujfalusi is a top defender. Liverpool were close to signing him but he rejected.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Well done Tevez for actually being the only one that played well today. Awesome. If we get another striker, i hope Fergie drops Rooney and not Tevez.

Danny Alves, 30 million well spent lol.

If Scholes wasn't 5'7", he'd be a good volleyball player.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Yea your man Danny looks quality. he turned Ferdinand inside out for the goal. Zenit are a serious team. i hope they can hold on to Arshavin.

That was funny what Scholes did. great punch. at first i couldnt believe how high he got up to "head" the ball but then i saw that goal was disallowed and then the cards came out. i know i have said before that Ronaldo is over-rated but Man Utd dont look half as dangerous without him. If Vidic got injured they would be screwed.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

We didnt miss C.Ronaldo at Portsmouth though. We obviously need him back. But were missing Carrick and Hargreaves too. Carrick adds alot to the team, even though Ive been critical of him at times.

Rooney needs to fucking shoot. Or do something, anything.

 

[Flipmo]

unfortunate loss for AC Milan. Ronaldinho was a monster. Sheva had his chances also, but was denied by the Bologna keeper.

Chelsea 1 - 1 Spurs
Villa 1 - 1 Dippers

Today was a good day.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Liverpool v Villa was 0-0.

Just shows how shit our attack is if we cant manage a goal against a Villa defense that has conceded alot of goals recently. Torres went off injured and R Keane was a waste of money.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

lol I thought you defended the amount he was bought for

Barca are losing.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Looks like Torres will miss the Man Utd game. i think should play with 6 defenders and play for a draw in that one because they cant score without Torres and Gerrard wont be fully fit.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Barca lost. So unlucky though, Numancia defended like Animals lol.

Next up Real Madrid.

Rangers beat Celtic today. good game.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

Liverpool v Villa was 0-0.

Just shows how shit our attack is if we cant manage a goal against a Villa defense that has conceded alot of goals recently. Torres went off injured and R Keane was a waste of money.

nope. this just goes to show that liverpool are nothing without gerrard and that villa had out a plug in the hole of our defence which allowed us to concede goals. we've patched up our defence this weekend and will be looking to continue this through to the coming weeks and months because scoring isnt our problem; we can do that. so go and criticise us, liverpool will soon be heavily into debt with stanley park and a top 4 place will be up for grabs. a good thing for the premiership where clubs knocking on the door of CL football will fight even more for hat place. and the premiership will not be too predictable anhymore. its only a matter of time before it happens, because liverpool are the most likely out of the "big four" to lose that status. so enjoy it while you can bob.

it was actually a good result for you today and a bad one for us because we should ahve won and you were lucky not to lose, hence why you slowed the game down when you had possession. fear us.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Of course im gonna be critical of a Villa defense that gave up 3 goals to Stoke last week.When was the last time they kept a clean sheet before today? You are so deluded. There isnt a hope in hell of Aston Villa going above Liverpool until ye start beating teams like Stoke. Come back to me when Villa actually win a cup of note.

Take Barry out of the Villa team and they will struggle. Man Utd are missing Ronaldo at the moment and they dont play as well. Same for Arsenal when Fabregas is out. We lost Torres after 20 minutes today as well btw.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Unbeaten this season so far btw.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Real Madrid AND Barca lost today lol. La Liga is going to be interesting this season.

 

[stefanwzyga]

Rangers destroyed Celtic on their own patch! Unexpected but well deserved.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^did you come back just to rub it in lol.

Pedro Mendes is a great signing for Rangers.
