PSG are going to run riot against that aging Madrid team.

Ryan Mason has had to retire after that skull fracture.

Goes to show what Cech came through really.

PSG are hardly a fountain of youth, especially if you exclude Mbappe. PSG haven't had a difficult game yet this season. I reckon it'll be close.

An English team will win it this year. I've bet it at 11/8.

Madrid are going to beat PSG. Play like shit for months and turn it on just before the big boy CL matches, add to that the massively bottling Frenchness of that team and it'll be over before you can say Ronaldo 1-0.

It's not absolutely no pertinence to the upcoming football but this chart is pure :D

What the fuck is a DZ save?

As it states at the top, a danger-zone save. An open goal from 3 yards out would be a DZ save. A shot from your own half would be a save.

Lacazette is out for 6 weeks meaning our striker for this is Danny Wellbeck. Nice.

Where's the line where one becomes the other, or does it have to be an open goal from 3 yards out to be danger zone?

I assume when the likeliness of conversion is over 50%, no idea though.

Apparently Lacazette is out of the game on Thursday. Who's going to start up front? Jeremie Aladiere?

Just remembered Danny Welbeck exists.

It's probably not a big enough game for him to turn up, so I would keep him rested for the semi-finals.

Sky have four of the next seven broadcasting rights packages, BT has one, and the other two are up for grabs. And all for slightly less money than before. What a MASSIVE anti-climax.

All hail Sky.

Slightly less money than before? The end is nigh.

:yn:

Are they moving towards 16.30 being the normal kick-off time on (Super) Sundays then?

Wow that was gorgeous.

The Yids. :lol:

This is what happens to English plodders. They can't handle anything other than straightforward direct football. Intelligence kills them every time.

Italian football. :drool:

lol at the Yids.

Hahhaa.

Is it less than before prior to the two remaining packages being snapped up or after? If it's the former we're as we were.

Sky have paid more for the same.

It's more.

Plus BT have paid slightly less for 10 games fewer.

They're at a higher price per match.

Those who shop at Sainsbury's will know this is all that matters.

another dive from one of PoCHEATinno's cunts. What a set of horrible cunts they are as a team.

What, Kane?

Hahaha

:(

:harold:

:D that's Auriers trademark right there.

He's such a liability.

Higuain :lol:

:happycry:

I am SO happy the CL is back, though.

That was fucking woeful from Higuain.

It only really starts now anyway, the group stages are fast forwarding material.

I fucking love Mousa Dembele. Top 2 in the world in his position.

Some games are decent. Like any group stage tbh. Apart from the Europa. That can get tae.

Love the Champions League. The pace of the games is fantastic.

I'd be preparing anyone right now to come on for Aurier.

It really is the best football. Makes me so glad Liverpool are good again.

Derby and Killie. :harold:

Aurier needs to be hooked ten minutes ago. Absolute liability.

Wait Steven Caulker plays for Dundee? :D

Yids :drool:

Buffon. :(
