Champions League 6th / 7th Nov 07

[Numeric]

let hope Liverpool get beat tonight innit :cheese:

United and Arsenal can qualify if they win their respective fixtures...

i expect Barca will batter Rangers...

[Spacehopper]

maybe if Torres & Crouch start we will be in with a chance of some goals, and Lucas Leiva in for Sissoko

[Numeric]

i heard Torres will start, it's at Anfield so expect the kopites will get a result...

arsenal only need a draw I think.

read somewhere on the net that rangers bigots have apparently organised an orange march in Barcelona, so hopefully they will quite literally get battered.

sc***ers will win easily tonight, I fully expect them to scrape through the group stages.

Liverpool 2-0 up now :grr:

[fatcollective]

Liverpool playing some good footy for a change....good to see crouch back!! still cant see them qualifying though! hehehe!! :briggin:

[Numeric]

well it's 4-0 now :grr:

[Numeric]

5-0 now, Besiktas have been feeble...

[Spacehopper]

there'll be 6 changes in the next match...............only jokin

great performance....benayoun was quality, gotta keep crouchy in the team

[Microdot]

how the **** did the sc***ers lose to that shower away?
at 1-0 I said to the missus, this is gonna be a cricket score.

[phantomdj]

watched the first half, then went swimming...

came back and it's 8-0....

You are right.... how on earth did they lose to any teams in that group....

they should qualify.

(ps not been on line so much as of late.... got a new job as a Q.S and just been rushed off my feet moving home, new gym, preparing others things etc...)

[Spacehopper]

crouch came on with about 8 mins to go thats why.........as soon as he did we looked so much better........

they couldnt handle him from the start......his link up play with voronin and the midfield was class

[Eddowion]

Chelsea were fortunate.

[DJsmallpaul]

Champions leauge is getting beyond a joke, some right shower of shite qualified, even Scottish teams are doin well :briggin:

True.

The format needs changing now i think.
3rd and 4th place teams should not be in there

And Platini wants to reduce the number of teams from England, Spain etc and replace them with extra whipping boys........wtf

[Microdot]

here's a crazy idea.
how about we have a tournament that you only qualify for if you win your domestic league.
we could call it "The European Champions Cup".
then, the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th placed teams could all go into a tournament called the UEFA Cup.
now, here's the clever bit. we could start a new competition thats jsut for teams who have won their major domestic cup. it could be called the European Cup Winners Cup..........genius!

oh, hang on a minute.....

[digitalboy]

True.

The format needs changing now i think.
3rd and 4th place teams should not be in there

but thats how teams will be able to compete in the future, by getting a slice of the money, since thats what football has become about.

A lot of these teams, even from the bigger leagues don't enjoy the kinds of revenue the english teams get from TV rights and so forth.

Oh and by the way paul, the top 2 scottish teams have always faired ok in Europe.:;

[Numeric]

the Champions League should be for the champions and runners up only, the rest can play in the UEFA Cup...
