Champions League (incl. 2012/2013)

What a save by Vito for Arsenal.. Good to see he isn't practicing Taekwondo while on the pitch.Azevo2011-12-07 10:32:00

Dance by a bearded gypsy celebrating his goal Olympiacos' 3rd goal.

3-1.

Definitely tense for Olympiacos now, 2-2 between Dortmund and OMAzevo2011-12-07 10:37:41

Scrap that, OM just scored another, 3-2, farken hell that is tense.

Serves Olympiacos right for having an absolutely sh*t away record.Azevo2011-12-07 10:40:37

Top of our group! 

Slamming Valencia 3-0? well done to Chelsea.

Saw Milan drew with Plze? 2-2 as well.Azevo2011-12-07 10:44:43

Yeah, with Milan 2-0 up until the 89th minute...Chelsea seemingly did it pretty easy.

Notable casualties from the group stage at this point are Porto (off to Europa League), Valencia (off to Europa League) and Borussia Dortmund (out of Europe altogether).

Nice amount of drama today, Thats a real kick in the shins for Milan, even though they're still through.

Am looking forward to tomorrow, a lot more drama and tense situations regarding the final 16.. Azevo2011-12-07 11:26:28

Had to laugh at Olympiacos, they played out of their skins to beat our second-stringers and they were cruising through with Dortmund up 2-0 then Marseilles came back to score three.

What a glorious day in Europe eh chaps?

Wow both Manchester clubs to Europa League?

They better take it somewhat seriously, this cant be doing a lot of good for England's coefficient points system thingy that determines Euro spots.

Edit. Maybe i spoke too soon, United pegged one back.

Maybe, Basel need to park the bus if they want to shut man utd out.

Wow, Lyon bet Dinamo Zagreb 7-1..

Shut up.

 
Ouch...Gomis got 4, decent effort.

Zagreb scored first too

Wonder if anyone put a bet on Lyon to overturn their goal difference.

Absolute shambles at the back in the second half.

3 Italian teams in the next round

Well done to Napoli. Very impressed they made it through that group

Saw that Hamsiek still plays for Napoli, thought he trotted along to Spartak Moscow.

lol @ Zagreb, poorest team in the group stage?

Can't wait for the draw...

I think we have a good chance at winning this.

Been on the turps again.

Least we are still in it

Apparently the Lyon game isn't being investigated for match fixing as their was no suspicious bets.

HURRRRRRRRRR

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE DRAW IN JUST OVER AN HOUR AND I AM VERY EXCITED.

The draw will be streamed live on Soccernet if anyone's interested.

Man, they like to crap on. Just get on with it and start the draw already.

My God. Please. Start. The. Draw.

Now would be good.

Olimpique Lyonnais - APOEL
Napoli - Chelsea
AC Milan - Arsenal
FC Basel - Bayern Munich
Bayer Leverkusen - Barcelona
CSKA Moscow - Real Madrid
Zenit St. Petersburg - Benfica
Olimpique Marseille - Inter

Tough draw for the English teams. Lyon get the Champions League equivalent of winning the Powerball.

Relatively straight-forward for both Spanish giants.

We will beat Milan.

Damn I missed the draw. ^ I don't know what you're laughing about we lost to Tottenham last year and have not made any major improvements since. Maybe even downgraded with players getting a year older and Van Bommels poor form this season and long term injuries to Cassano, Flamini and Gattuso

Should be some good games over the two legsanth1832011-12-18 02:02:28

Leggy is an idiot.

But yeah, i am looking forward to our tie, tie of the round i reckon. We'll need to keep Zlatan and KPB quiet.

Of course anyone that doee not agree with you must be an idiot. By predicting you will beat Milan you must be using a ouija board.
Seem to remember last season you predicted that Arsenal would win a few trophies.
