Probably didn't reach the six yard area.

As if I was ranking them by any sorts of ability. Lua Lua was fucking hilarious man, loved him during his time here, had this swag about him as if he was anything special. Didn't he leave because he wanted more first team-appearances?

Why did you go on a double-spaced-paragraph-ramble then?

3 winners and 5 runners up in the last 10 years isn't bad. Spain 4 times winners once runner up. Italy 2 times winners once runner up. Germany 2 times winners 3 times runner up. Spain are much more successful in terms of Europa League too as well. PL still isn't the best league in the world. Level has fallen every year for the past 5 years or so. That Chelsea side that won the CL was never even close to the Man U side that lost to Barcelona in the finals couple years earlier.

Best league in the world. So that's potentially only Chelsea left (who themselves were worse than PSG in the first leg and will have problems if they don't up themselves) and Everton who got an easy tie.

Amazing Miss that team, the team that got me to love this club. Players like Bellamy, Shearer, Solano, Robert, Dyer, Speed, Lua Lua and of course Sir Bobby. Amazing times, how much we've fallen since then

Harsh considering how he's been playing in 2015. Seen every game except their Europa League game and he's been quite impressive. Obviously doesn't look like a 9 goals in 4 game striker, but at the moment he's popping up at the right place at the right time and is involved. Still, De Bruyne has been the stand out perfomer in that team for me, been playing at a level I'd say is higher than Hazards.

It's over. Not a chance in hell they get anything in Spain. Probably, but you never know with football. Tie is definitely not over imo. Concede like they did to Malaga and there might be trouble.

Very good result, but it's still an open tie. 3-1 and it's game over. Now it's a goal from City at Camp Nou and it's loads of pressure on Barcelona.

FFS. Suarez missed one on one after Neymars through ball, Neymar then tried some fancy shit after being played one on one by Messi and now Messi misses that penalty. Christ. Should've ended the tie here.

I can't count the amount of City players that are at this level tbf. Aguero, Silva and maybe Zab. Kompany is exposed in games like these.

Barcelona should be up 3-0. Messi is on another planet tonight again while Suarez is scoring. Neymar has done some excellent stuff as well, but wish he got proper boots so he doesn't fucking slip every minute or so. City's midfield is abysmal. Fernando - Milner

Barcelona with one change from the weekend. Masch for Mathieu. City starts Fernando - Milner in midfield and Dzeko - Aguero up top. Think it might work in Barcelonas favour with their ability to counter-attack like against Atletico.

Just realized a guy I used to play with will be playing CONCACAF Champions League. and subbing for Beckerman at times. Pretty jealous.

Suarez and Neymar were shocking today.

NVM. Only alves. Thought Bravo stopped at first.

Fucking Alves. Despite Bravo being at wrong too that was a shit touch.

Prick

That's an absolutely ridiculous stat, and I'm not even talking about the missed ones. 47 fucking penalties? Can't remember last time we had one ffs.

For us at the moment, Perez. Historically Bellamy. Bellamy - Shearer. Don't think I'll ever enjoy a partnership as much as those at this club again. Complemented each other so well.

TBF I see Cesc as the playmaker of that team. Playmaker for me is the one that dictates the tempo of games and creates chances. Hazard does create and all, but he doesn't really dictate the tempo of the game like Messi does when he plays on the wings. It's harder for a winger to be a playmaker in MY way of seeing it.

He's going to be top 10 CL scorer all time soon, doesn't get enough credit IMO. At least not from me in terms of scoring apparently Always seen him as a very very good footballer on his day, but never actually realized he scores this much

NVM Benzema has scored far more than I thought Guess Ronaldo overshadows that.

From recent times - Drogba would be up there. 09-10 was probably the only season where he went mental for goals. Any target player that can link up play basically. Benzema is another one. Doesn't score a ridiculous amounts of goals, but despite not being a targetman in the traditional sense is a fucking fantastic link-up player. Back in the days I always thought Fernando Morientes was the shit. Guy was so technically intelligent.

Lisandro Lopez ex-Lyon signs for Internacional. Going by wiki he hasn't been doing that well in Qatar but was always a very good player for both Lyon and Porto. Interesting signing nonetheless.
