We have Porto first..... And with luck and wind in the sails, Liverpool, if they go through... We might just scrape in.......... to win the CL And not in a roundabout way like DiMatteo did.... dear me....... I do miss Drogba...........
Granada/MAN UTD v Ajax/Roma Dinamo Zagreb/Villarreal v ARSENAL/Slavia Prague If we don't end up with an all English final in the Europa League with this draw and calibre of opponent, both Arteta and Ole need to be shot. The drop-off in quality of teams from the continent between Champions League and Europa League is astonishing. Once the big teams from Spain, Germany etc vanish from the group stages or last 16 of the Champions League, we are left with sides where I could probably make the bench if I went for a trial. Perhaps some buggers in Rome and Amsterdam are saying the same thing when comparing City & Chelsea to MUFC and Gooners?
I'm always on edge watching City play out of the back, Opposition know how to play against them. Hope pep lets the back 3/4 play the long ball when pressed. They're going to give me a heart-attack.
