Wonder what Barton is going to do???

 

[Marc]

If it was any other manager he would have been fined about £10m by now.

Aye, cos Big Sam and Arry' got fined loads didnt they for adopting the same stance.

Managers have no obligation to give pre or post match interviews but dont let facts get in the way of your bitterness

I actually think that the tv/radio rights holders have a clause in it where managers are meant to give interviews... and if they do not the manager/club will be fined by the FA. However as there never has been an official complaint from the rights holders there have been no test cases on this.

City get Bayern Munich, Villareal and Napoli - tough

 

[megadave]

Yeah, fairly dull draw for English teams except perhaps City although they should still be comfortable. Utd's group is piss easy, our group should be straight forward, Arsenal could struggle depending on signings but should go through.

Some good potential matches (that'll inevitably suck like all group games) are Milan - Barcelona, Arsenal - Dortmund, City - Bayern Munich.

Group F: ARSENAL, Marseille, Olympiakos, Borussia Dortmund
Group B: Inter Milan, CSKA Moscow, Lille, Trabzonspor
Group E: CHELSEA, Valencia, Bayer Leverkusen, Genk
Group H: Barcelona, AC Milan, BATE Borisov, Viktoria Plzen
Group D: Real Madrid, Lyon, Ajax, Dinamo Zagreb
Group C: MAN UTD, Benfica, Basle, Otelul Galati
Group G: FC Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St Petersburg, Apoel FC
Group A: Bayern Munich, Villarreal, MAN CITY, Napoli

Ballack returns to the Bridge \o/

Messi won European Player of the Year, unsurprisingly.

The stadium of Man U's opponent's

 

[CorNokZ]

Hmm.. Mestalla is closer to me than the beach, which is a 15 minute walk from here(the water is fucking awesome!)

Think I'll swing by tomorrow and see if I can get a ticket for the Real Madrid game in november

TOTT: Philippe Senderos' slip of the tongue - YouTube

Slip of the tongue from Senderos

 

[Raven]

lol

 

[Vladamir]

No sign of Modric tonight, the drama continues!

 

[JingleBells]

No sign of Modric tonight, the drama continues!

The optimist in me says it's cause we're 5-0 up, playing at home with a tough game vs City on Sunday

The pessimist in me says he's off to Chelsea

 

[Ch3tan]

Tinie Tempah is 1 nil up against the geordies. Hah.

 

[Ch3tan]

Adebayor loan to spuds is confirmed... Good signing.

 

[Aph3x]

Got a feeling 'Appy 'Arry will get the best out of him too, if VdV and Adebayor click then the Spuds could be a dangerous team this year.

 

[Vladamir]

Or if Gallas and Adebayor have handbags it could do the opposite

 

[Vladamir]

 

[Calaen]

Fucking lol Vlad, I've robbed that for FB.

Newcastle were horrible in the first half.

 

[Raven]

Am I right in saying, that's no more Scottish teams in Europe this season?

 

[JingleBells]

Am I right in saying, that's no more Scottish teams in Europe this season?

Yes

There's one Irish side in the group stage - Shamrock Rovers

Irish Football > Scottish Football

 

[Cerb]

Shamrock Rovers got into the Europa though! Great for Irish football!

 

[Corran]

haha, irish football > scotish football.
dont surprise me. scottish football is fucking dire to watch. Dont think i can bring myself to ever go to another game here

.....
30th bday next year. Money is a bitch but may try to convince the Mrs it is a good time for her to see Old Trafford, and her first pro football game live
Only downside to that though, my bday is on munich disaster day! That means the match before is chelsea at Stamford bridge.... the match after is against Liverpool... in other words, expensive and doubt i be able to get a ticket

 

[Urgluf]

wish I could rep you vlad..
