Since Liverpool are starting their Europa League campaign tonight, may as well start this thread now.

This will be rodgers first season in Europe, so I expect he'll look to have a solid competition. I reckon AVB will take this competition more seriously than Redknapp and Newcastle will want to do well for sure. Hopefully these three teams will do well and help England's co-efficient points.

As for the CL, we're retaining it :jordan2

2-2 isn't a bad result.

I'm not too worried at the moment.
How can you even be worried when you have come back from two goals down to turn a tie around as early as a few weeks ago? Plus you have got Messi. That guy alone says it all. Huge difference when he doesn't play. Vilanova is back too.

PSG are out. They can't get a result at the Camp Nou. And they're taking only a score draw there. Lol.

IMO, if a team would beat Barca, it all depends on getting a result at the Camp Nou.

Not sure why some are writing Juventus off already. They played shitty tonight but I highly doubt they'll play like that at home. 2-0 isn't a big margin, they have a brick shithouse defence and have we forgotten already about Bayern at home against Arsenal? They've shown their mental fragility on numerous occasions, they've gotta get that monkey off their back.

I do think Bayern will prevail but it's not like this is the impossible task for Juventus, christ.

Oh, crumpets.

Just saw PSG's second from the behind-the-goal replay. Going to have to begrudgingly retract my initial statement of Loldes.

Forgive me Victor for I have sinned. :vince4

That game being so fresh in the mind is why this tie, for all intents and purposes, is over.

Heycknes is much too good a manager and his hairdo is much too slick a hairdo to have a repeat of the second leg against Arsenal. That was just a case of them assuming Arsenal wouldn't give a damn and Wenger was all like, NOTHING IS OVER. They'll also have motivation to score as that would leave Juventus needing four.

Their mental chokery rears it's ugly head when they actually get a sight of their fears and insecurities reflecting on the trophy.

Very good performance and result for Bayern. I can't see Juse keeping them out, so they should advance now. I thought Juve would have been able to pull it off with a draw here and a win back home, but nope.

Were all them lol Valdes posts before you all saw the replay. If not then lol football thread gonna football thread I guess. Baffled at the impression so many people have of Valdes on here. Kinda unrelated though. Alves was world class tonight. Been Barca's play for the past month. Maybe 2. Find me a better assist this season and I'll demand a gif. At any level nevermind the away tie of a CL Quarter. Messi's ability to be constantly scoring goals without playing well might be his best quality of all.

:ibra and his end products :lol So much quality and then so wasteful so often. Offside by a mile and a really shocking call by the linesman who should see that clear as day. It's hard to watch Tennis with the hawkeye system and then watch Football with so many bad calls changing matches that could easily be put right in a matter of seconds by watching just an instant replay.

Game should have been to put bed for Barca before that by Sanchez. What a first touch that guy has. PSG aint winning at the Nou Camp though so I wouldn't be worried if I was a Barca fan. There'll be goals though with Mascherano suspended. Will Abidal be likely to start for next Wednesday?

Oh and Beckham :datass

I was pressured into it via peer pressure. I was about to say "Valdes is a really great guy" until I refreshed the page and saw the other responses. :sturridge

Re: UEFA Champions/Europa League 2012-13 Thread - It Just Got Mythical

just going through both these matches, flipped a coin and chose bayern/juve first

alaba's goal was great, juve's defence was all over the shop until about 10 mins before muller's goal. bayern dominated them.

have to point out clattenburg's performance. absolutely woeful. seemed to go out of his way to ignore obvious fouls because of the occasion. the card on lichtensteiner was absolute rubbish. vidal deserved one for his tackle on ribery, and then mandzukic got a yellow for pretty much standing there.

still got 10 mins left and i highly doubt juve will get back into this. vidal has been good but there hasnt been much else to write home about. forward were absolutely invisible.

and again, another yellow for 'diving' after being kicked by bonucci. fuck off clattenshite.

ribery runs his studs down the calf of vidal. no foul. this is dreadful.

just realised i wrote pirlo is good while reading through this again. no idea why i typed that. i meant vidal besides his fouling actually pushed juve forward more than anyone else.

PSG!!! :mark: First goal by Zlatan was offside, though not really Valdez fault. Dat second goal though. :D

Bayern was just far superior than Juventus today. Never know what could happen in the 2nd leg though, I wouldn't count them out look what happened at Aresnal.

Re: UEFA Champions/Europa League 2012-13 Thread - It Just Got Mythical

stark and his assistants are doing the exact opposite of clattenburg. paying everything. mascherano getting a yellow for menez slipping over.

having 2 barca guys on the floor and using that to call psg players onside is a pretty pissweak effort too. still with 15 mins left but i presume psg get back into this. pique is laughably bad and psg have been one good pass away from scoring the entire game.

ibra is a mile offside for the goal? :lmao the refereeing in both games has been deplorable. that's not even close. it's about 3 yards offside. amazing.

not much valdes could've done off that bartra deflection either. if it doesn't touch bartra valdes picks the ball up easy.
