    It is the extent of his football knowledge, makes him look like he actually has a clue.

    His "Mighty Astana" line was so hilarious he felt the need to say it like 3 times just now. Please NBC, do whatever it takes to keep the EPL rights.

    Call me crazy but I am fairly confident that Chelsea will advance today. I am 50/50 on Arsenal. Wenger does two things, make the round of 16 and finish top 4. He has a very annoying knack for obtaining results when these are on the line, so I can't write them off completely.

    Any idea if fox will cut their stupid pay for stream service and offer free like nbc in the future? I can't see paying for the stream when it's free on my tv. I would like to watch the games at work (work firewall is crazy so no funky streams) but I guess I'll follow on Twitter and watch at home later until they come to their senses

    Do you not have access to Fox Sports Go?

    I don't pay for streaming them and if it's on tv I can typically watch

    I honestly think I would take Arsenal to win at the Nou Camp if second place in the champions league group was on the line or win at man city by 3 goals to qualify for 4th place in EPL on the last day if that was what is needed but I would probably take this current years shit Aston villa team to win at the Emirates if only a tie was needed to win the league

    Tough draw. On current form Chelsea are the worst team to get a tough draw. Is this the year city breakthrough in Europe? I can't imagine them not going through. Once it goes to the final 8 it's usually all heavyweights but the it looks like Wolfsburg and one of benfica and zenit could make it so a bit of luck get city a fairly simple route at least by champions league purposes to the semis. PSG, Bayern and barca are the teams I would want to avoid. Barca seem likely to win it on current form but I would love to see them take on atletico over two legs. A disciplined team like that I could see winning

    no

    The only coach worse than Rafa left in the final 16 is Rudi Garcia

    This is the worst Madrid team since 08/09. Crashing out is a real possibility.

    Wolfsburg-Gent and Benfica-Zenit both sound very Europa Leaguey ties. Maybe Arsenal getting Barcelona will be a good thing since this years team seems to thrive when nobody gives them much of a chance. I was kind of hoping they'd get Madrid because I think they'd probably knock them out.

    Chelsea may be able to get a result here, but the assessment favors a 2-1 win for PSG.

    Very slim chance they can get a result with that defense in Paris.

    Yeah we've seen those slobs all year. That's why he said 2-1 PSG. I'm pretty sure the first part of his sentence is sarcasm.
