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

Re: UEFA Champions/Europa League 2012-13 Thread

Shouldn't have drawn that at all, ref was fucking shit, halted a promising attack in Schalkes box because one of the players twisted his ankle on the edge of the box, fucking ridiculous.
LOL when Poldolski got booked init? Ref was a cunt for fooling for that shit.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. :balo2
He cost his own team the game with them theatrics.

Well played :balo

Didn't City get a dodgy penalty against Dortmund?

Enjoyed Madrid vs Dortmund. Madrid were piling pressure on and BVB were looking to hit them on the break.

Roy Keane saying Roberto Mancini should calm down. When Roy Keane is worrying about your mental state, something's up.

Re: UEFA Champions/Europa League 2012-13 Thread

City didn't deserve 3 points from that anyway. Shocking defending, Garcia and Barry were appalling and there was zero creativity going forward. These marginal decisions even themselves out anyway. You get very lucky at the weekend with an incorrect offside call and then a marginal penalty call saved you vs Dortmund. They even themselves out more often than not. Didn't think Mario helped his cause with his theatrics in the way he went to ground. He's pulling him but enough to pull him to the ground? Didn't think so. He only fell down from the contact when the chance was gone. You create your own luck I guess.

Amused at Mancini running on the pitch and getting himself some of the ref rather than backing his players away from the officials. Feeling the heat and not reacting well to it right now. Better pray he wins the League again otherwise he's gone most likely. Not like City's players are CL novices either. Plenty of experience in Europe with other clubs along with the manager. Same story as Madrid right now. Coming off a big title win but haven't got going at all this season. Defensively they've been vulnerable from the get go. Zonal marking is a catastrophe unless you have it mastered and City clearly don't. Yaya isn't driving them in midfield anymore and there's no creativity without Silva. Only difference is Madrid still have some players who can turn it on in an instant to win games. City don't seem to have anyone doing that right now against the quality teams. God damnit why can't we play them in the league sooner.

Hope they get 3rd from a Utd perspective. No European Football at all would suck regarding the race for the League Title. Thursdays in Europe will be a killer for them though.
