    CL Round 2: Barca - Young Boys 5-0

    Brest with a great result tonight away from home. You play them in gameweek 5. Should beat them but they look half-decent since last season. A good result tonight is necessary after the loss against Monaco and Bayern and Brest (and Red Star) to come.

    Champions League 2024-25

    Salzburg and Stuttgart got me off to a bad start tonight. 23 percent went with Brest and 17 percent the draw in the Stuttgart game. So not too much damage inflicted.

    CL Round 2: Barca - Young Boys 5-0

    For instance, as I said earlier, one goal fewer scored or one more conceded could be the difference between going straight to last 16, or a playoff, or being in a playoff or eliminated entirely.

    CL Round 2: Barca - Young Boys 5-0

    Very good point. Lots of teams will be finishing on identical points at different levels in the table so GD is extremely important.

    I think Soccernomics found that the link between success was with wages, rather than transfer value.

    true but bear in mind Celtic play in a very poor league and are notoriously much stronger in Glasgow.

    Brest aren't going soft on them. Milking this for all it's worth.

    Me too, but gonna play relatively safe. I wouldn't be surprised if especially PSG get something though. It's a bad start in the two games so far - Brest are winning comfortably and the Stuttgart game is 1-1. Good news is most people will likely have backed Salzburg and Stuttgart as I did.

    Yeah I was probably giving him the benefit of the doubt at the time. He's pretty poor whenever I watch him now. Like I said though, the poor lad's confidence must be absolutely shot.

    Don't shoot me but Ferran looked a talented young player to me many years ago. Goes to show that you never can tell, in the words of the immortal Chuck Berry.

    CL Round 2: Barca - Young Boys 5-0

    Much stronger for you guys than the Osasuna game, as expected. It's a good lineup. Bench doesn't look great but to be expected.

    CL Round 2: Barca - Young Boys 5-0

    I agree. But you can never put anything past these charlatans. People in football are already trying to get PL and La Liga games in the USA or Middle East. It better not happen and I think a lot of fans would protest. But you can't write it off.

    CL Round 2: Barca - Young Boys 5-0

    It's all about money, as per usual. But I am one of the minority of people who likes the idea of this format (the Swiss system). There's plenty of pros and cons of each. The main cons being more games for the players and the fact that everyone has a unique schedule, which doesn't really seem...

    CL Round 2: Barca - Young Boys 5-0

    It's better in a way. Because 9th to 24th have to play two more games and will likely be more tired. Plus you could play a team below 16th whereas in the old format, finishing second in a group was essentially being 'top 16'. Barca could finish 1st and play the 24th-ranked league phase team in...

    CL Round 2: Barca - Young Boys 5-0

    It's also very likely to get a top team in the R16, as it will be one of the 8 best performing teams you'd have to play against, if you don't finish top 8 yourself (then get through the prelim knockout round). It seems more likely that in a league phase the top 8 will be 8 elite teams - whereas...

    Is this guy still going on with his lies? Give it up. You're on ignore now so won't be reading any more of your diatribes. I will read your political views and views on race though as I agree with those. But in football terms you're trolling.

    CL Round 2: Barca - Young Boys 5-0

    That isn't how it works. 9th to 16th are seeded and play a knockout tie pre R16 against 17th-24th, who are unseeded. Then in the last 16 it's a draw with the knockout winners unseeded and 1st to 8th (who received a bye to R16) seeded. So Barca could finish 9th with identical points to 8th (who...
