I think we can lay to rest the myth that the Premier League is the best league in the world.

Great round! Chelsea lost, Ajax are beating City, Arsenal are losing and BvB are winning too. Proper stuff. The teller at my corner store wanted me to bet on their system, with City, Real and Arsenal as certain winners. Told him I never bet against the teams I follow (Ajax and BvB) and never bet on Arsenal winning and told him Ajax, BvB and Schalke would win/draw and he laughed at me and dared me to bet against their system. I'm starting to regret not doing so...

Tactical masterstroke that, going to three at the back. If Ajax can get a point in the next round, Shitty might not even drop into the Waffa!

Then if they drop out of the Europa then they probably don't get enough coefficient points to get out of pot 3 next year and probably end up in the group of death again.

What a great week of CL football, Man City an embarrassment to the Premier league in Europe

The CL misses and needs Tottenham

Jackson Martinez banging them in for porto is no surprise for me.

They way Porto sign these South American's and then develop them is nothing short of outstanding.

We'll be after him in a season or two when he's wayyyy out of reach.

I know, that's the downside of trying to jump straight into the Champions League. No coefficient to speak of and constantly get tough groups from Pot 3.

Micah Richards throwing Mancini under the bus, he'll be dropped for the next game.

We did okay!;)

Do you know, i'm not even sure Mancini will make it to the end of the season. All those hundreds of millions spent and they produce that monstrosity of a performance?

Such a shame

CL misses and needs a team like Tottenham, playing without fear, getting stuffed or winning at least we are entertaining

We did have a few years of Europa before going into CL
