SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2020/21

Thiago out with Corona

 

Does this mean the prostitutes in Munich are cleaner than the ones in Liverpool or did he already have the virus and Bayern knowingly sold damaged goods?

 

To be truthful, I ain't been near any Prozzies and I have what might be mild symptoms.

Shattered tired, sweating walking a few miles, really irritable.

Apparently one of the symptoms is feeling "sad or weepy".

Fucking China. Liverpools best ever team in a half century maybe and no fans, no gate, no income, sick players, and sad weepy fans.

FUCK. OFF.

 

CL draw. Which underdogs you think make it through?


Group A: Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, FC Salzburg, Lokomotiv Moscow

Group B: Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Inter Milan, Borussia Monchengladbach

Group C: FC Porto, Manchester City, Olympiakos, Marseille

Group D: Liverpool, Ajax, Atalanta, FC Midtjylland

Group E: Sevilla FC, Chelsea, Krasnodar, Rennes

Group F: Zenit St Petersburg, Borussia Dortmund, Lazio, Club Brugge

Group G: Juventus, Barcelona, Dynamo Kiev, Ferencvaros

Group H: PSG, Manchester United, RB Leipzig, Istanbul Basaksehir

 

Good question. I think United COULD get out of their group.

Ferencvaros...no chance. Krasnodar and Rennes.....no chance. Istanbul, probably no chance. Group C is interesting, I don't know. Just can't call that one.

Group B looks a real mother.

 

I don't have much idea either. Hard to know the relative strength of so many of these sides, particularly now. Barcelona will be interesting to see.

 

Where are Hut and Billeh? I'd like them to answer one of the questions from the new Scottish-German hit game show" "Ootrage! Oder keine ootrage?

 

I think Billy is part of the Gang of X , by now. Darkside, Come Over To, etc.

Hut is just watching the Rangers vs Galatasary game so he can see what a REAL team looks like.

 

"What we'd like to have right now, is for all you fat, stupid Celtic scumbags is to keep the noise down while we take off our warm-up uniforms and show the fans what a REAL team looks like. Hit the music"

 

Well I was talking about Galatasary, but..........

 

Fenescvaros will get gubbed. We'd mostly get gubbed and if we played fenescvaros 100 times we'd beat them 97 times

 

Liverpool dominated that game it seems but couldn't finish it off. Its gone to penalties. At an empty stadium.

 

Saw a young lad today, not yet 30, with the most egregious varicose veins. Very odd.

 

knocked out again on penalties, again by Arsenal, ffs.

 

Sell that Harry Wilson cunt.

 

Hut

No Celtic or Rangers in the Champions league.

Ootrage! Oder keine ootrage?

 

There's no point in any teams outwith the top 5 leagues being in the champions league & even half of those are padding out the numbers. They should just hold an awards ceremony in June and declare which PLC drew most money from Asian TV and shady sponsorship deals. Its over.

 

The correct answer was ootrage.

Your failure to directly answer the question was an ootrage.

The two points cancel each other oot which is also an ootrage making you correct and today's winner.

 

Well the Chinese just had PL football tooken off them as they've nay paid for it.

Premier League cancels £564m Chinese TV contract in blow to clubs' finances

The Premier League has terminated its lucrative TV rights contract in China two years early, creating an immediate and major financial hole as football struggles to retain its revenues through the Covid-19 pandemic.

The ending of the deal with the digital broadcaster PPTV, a division of the Chinese conglomerate Suning Holdings, for unpaid money owed under the contract, follows a report in the Mail last month that the company had withheld a £160m instalment that was due in March. PP Sports committed in November 2016 to pay £564m for the live rights from 2019-22, to be shown in a mix of free-to-air and subscription packages. It was, at the time, the richest overseas TV deal the Premier League had signed.

The real issue then is this "Suning Group". Who really controls them and to what extent does the CCP exert influence over them?

£160m? Small potatoes. Yet suddenly it gets witheld. Just like that. In the middle of the Chinese virus?

 

Everton to go 30-4-4, 94 points. This has been a project in the works for over eight years now.

 

With some momentum building and new stad in train, it would be great to see Everton back with the big boys as they always were historically....hopefully in the coming years chelsea & city gradually sink back in to the mire of mediocrity thats their more natural habitat. Natural order restored

 

Optimistic but it's worth remembering that when Rodgers was on the block it was Ancelotti and Klopp being touted to replace him.

 

Also if Everton don't get beaten this weekend and can overcome Liverpool (or not get beat) in the Derby game in 2 weeks..... Then they'll be right up there after 5 games, which they've traditionally not been. Last year Liverpool were very slightly ahead when City came and that win gave Liverpool momentum that they never surrendered. That's what it's about. Momentum.

 

Europa draw:

Group A: Roma, Young Boys, CFR Cluj, CSKA Sofia
Group B: Arsenal, Rapid Wien, Molde, Dundalk
Group C: Leverkusen, Slavia Praha, Hapoel Beer-Sheva, Nice
Group D: Benfica, Standard Liège, Rangers, Lech Poznań
Group E: PSV Eindhoven, PAOK, Granada, Omonoia
Group F: Napoli, Real Sociedad, AZ Alkmaar, Rijeka
Group G: Braga, Leicester, AEK Athens, Zorya Luhansk
Group H: Celtic, Sparta Praha, AC Milan, LOSC Lille
Group I: Villarreal, Qarabağ, Maccabi Tel-Aviv, Sivasspor
Group J: Tottenham, Ludogorets, LASK, Royal Antwerp
Group K: CSKA Moskva, Dinamo Zagreb, Feyenoord, Wolfsberg
Group L: Gent, Crvena zvezda, Hoffenheim, Slovan Liberec

Celtic get Milan and Rangers meet Benfica. Obviously Milan is a bigger name historically but not sure if they're a stronger team at this point.

 

If things weren't so shit clubs such as Chelsea, Man City, PSG and RB Leipzig would only qualify for Champions League maybe once every 10-15 years while the likes of Celtic, Rangers, PSV and Benfica would be regulars.

 

Mane out with Corona.

 

Agreed, Chelsea cracked the formula back around 2003 before Abramovich took over. But without him they'd be right down the pecking order again now. As it happens with all his money they've made TWO finals in 16 seasons and won it once. On penalties. 8 years ago.

 

If by underdog you mean 'non-top 5 league sides' i'd say the best chances are

Ajax, Porto, St Petersburg, Salzburg in that order. But if more than two of those four make it - or if any make the last 8- i'll be really surprised

 

The CL is genuinely boring at this point, far too predictable

 

Its a pretty similar group to last year, if a bit tougher. I think lazio were a slightly better outfit than milan but prague are stronger than cluj and lille probably a bit stronger than Rennes. 50/50 we get out the group, id say

Just fucking raging i wont be able to go to san siro, im sure Celtic wouldve taken 15k tickets for that & it wouldve been an incredible trip
