    Is the really knowledgeable and friendly Steaua fan still on here? I'm rooting for them to qualify based on that guy and Milan and them being frand.

    Celtic survives by the skin of their fake teeth. Joey Barton making fun of Brendan last week must have done a number on him.

    That probably would have been Buffons record had Juventus' nogs been clean.

    Please tell me what was stupid. Do you really believe that City will treat tomorrow like a real match.

    Acting like City fans aren't going to watch one of Peps first few matches. If we expect to win 2-0 and have a ton of possession we are still going to watch that.

    Do I think City will treat the most important match of their season seriously? Yes

    Do I think the City fans will show up to support their club in the most important match in their season against an opponent with a rich tradition? Yes

    Shaun was right to call you a jackass.

    Borussia M'Gladbach and Salzburg both up 1-0. Dinamo Zagreb starting to Chilean strikers, I guess I should follow them closer.

    Not a fan of the City home jerseys either. Before we going throwing shade in a wind tunnel, I am not a fan of the Arsenal shit either. Year of the ugly kit.

    I dont know what to think about this. on one hand its great they are back in the CL, but they nearly missed it for their 3rd consecutive year.

    I follow the SPL a decent bit, but not well enough to project Celtic 3-5 years down the line. Certainly feels like a big fish in a little pond, and the pond wont change/grow anytime too soon. Tough to really commit to a club that has such a lukewarm and frustrating future.

    feijenoord is as good as theyve been in a while, psv is big favorites with the bookies after a suspect ajax start but feijenoord can mount a serious challenge. Of course there is still a week left in the transfer window. If psv loses willems, guardado and de jong in the last week things change massively

    Dinamo Zagreb tied it in the 87th minute. Junior Fernandes (Chile :smug:) was the goal scorer. As it stands, the tie would go to extra time.

    Dinamo Zagreb take the lead in extra time. Extra time doesn't have the away goal rule correct?

    I'd like to ask everyone to refrain from predicting the draw or posting mock draw results as it is a huge pet peeve of mine. However, feel free to list your preferred draw for your club as this not a prediction.

    I'd also like to ask everyone to refrain from complaining about certain teams' draws as this demonstrates confirmation bias and is another pet peeve of mine.

    Thanks and enjoy the draw.

    They had the highest percentage of empty seats for a European match ever by an English team. That's including the Europa League. I'm not sure how merely speculating that something like that could happen makes me a jackass. The fact that it was basically a Joe Hart Testimonial illustrates that City didn't take it all that seriously.
