Why?

You always flop on the big occasions...Ollys mom said so

What like Thierry Henry?

Oh dear Viva's gone back to standard United type as usual.

#TrollFail

Isn't it true Henry never scored in a final?

If your only rating people on scoring goals in finals then that's pretty poor and ridiculously stupid

It doesn't bother me at all if he didn't half the time we got to a final is because of him so ill take that tbh. Im sure he's so terrible that he got MOTM in the European Championships final without scoring and was the only reason France made it to the final  

That guy AKA Ludy is pretty good, but he beat me 3-1 the other week and I had more clear cut chances.

And that basis of rating makes Sol Campbell your best goalscorer

When you doing results Afro :P

It wasn't about ratings Nando it was about choking in big matches and Henry was a choker. Never scored.

Hopefully you take your chances this time Marky.

Hopefully tomorrow GSC. Was planning to do them yesterday but was feeling rough so didn't.

Playboy GSC, when can I add my bonus.

What i will say is, He may look 45 but Doumbia finishes clinically

PS. Congratulations Viva on securing your spot as Euro Div's version of Nick (It's not a good thing)

Come on, look at that baby faced assassin...

Somewhere near Bournemouth Cherries is knocking one out over Doumbia.

To be fair he's probably more aroused by the Championship league table at the moment...

Is a large black man on top of it?

What?

Doumbia has scored 5 goals in 4 games v City!

Kids and grown-ups love it so, the happy world of Maribor

Well, we're ****

The amount of wanks he's had over the past couple of days would be disturbing

When I was 18 and unemployed I was probably averaging a solid 3 per day.

City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool you're all a disgrace to English Football. Platini and Co must be laughing at us, poor representation by then 4 clubs.

At least they qualified.

Qualify to embarrass themselves.

Well Arsenal and Chelsea are still pretty certain to make the last 16, and Liverpool and City are both in a position where if they win their last two games they probably make the last 16 as well. Not embarrassing just yet.

Still the best 4 teams we have. The alternatives would be to not play 4 teams, or send worse teams.

Both would end up more embarassing, especially if we sent then even worse teams

Only Bayern and Roma in their way. Both have been so poor, its a stretch to say they'd win one

Question of the day:

Which side should Man City pick to get a result out of Bayern? Bearing in mind the suspended Fernandinho and Toure and that 4-4-2 is dead?

GSC wrote:Only Bayern and Roma in their way. Both have been so poor, its a stretch to say they'd win one

City could get away with drawing with Bayern and beating Roma, if...

Roma and CSKA draw
Bayern beat CSKA

City haven't won a game and we're already 4 games into the competition. Liverpool showed no ambition with the side they picked against Madrid, Arsenal let 3 goals in after being 3 nil up and Chelsea can't beat part timers.

They took a point from 2 games against CSKA.

What makes you think they can do either?

Those part timers were Slovenian Champions I'll have you know...

And Chelsea also beat them 6-0 2 weeks ago

Because at their best they can. They won away to Bayern last season. Just need to pull their finger out.

We'd be better off sending no one if they're going to perform like this. Anyway Everton fans can't talk, what were your lot doing at Lille, looked like we were back in the 80s.

Anyway, if they play Bayern with this side they have a chance.

I never let the quality slip.
Although I did begin to lose interest midway through the third.

Their best is redundant when they can't reach their average in Europe

On a side note, just seen a fat teenage girl with the t-shirt "Keep calm and eat chocolate". No comment.

City aren't the best side in the country and I don't think they were last year either.

Carried by Toure and won a title based on Chelsea and Liverpool pi$$ing it away.

For me they easily were. Chelsea were fairly limited going forward, worthless strikers, and nobody like Fabregas to dictate play.

Liverpool the otherway round, lightweight at the back. City were easily the best balanced side for me.

I always felt Chelsea had the balance and probably should have won the league. Costa/Fabregas were maybe the missing parts, but they were more ruthless than City and that City team should have really had a more comfortable title win.

Someone just came in clutching a mini disc asking what it was and how we could play it.

See I never thought Chelsea had the cutting edge. Mourinho is a master of psyching out opponents in big games, but against smaller teams you need to be able to cut them open regularly. Never thought Chelsea had that consistently outside of Hazard last year. And titles are won and lost on your ability to consistently dispatch lesser teams.

I agree it was disgusting, but what the frak does that have to do with the performances in the CL this week

RB/LB Sebastian Corchia
CB Dan Burn
CB Luisao
CB Luca Caldirola
CB Jamaal Lascelles
LB Patrice Evra

Can all go for decent offers, i want to reshuffle my defense

I just sensed a softness in City and I think that's what we're seeing now too. They don't look like they have that drive right now.

What would be your best XI in the Premier League using current players?

Mine would be:
