I have always liked Athletic, they're a good club and one of the better teams in La Liga outside the big three.

Yeah I have never ever said any different about him. Never denied that he's brilliant near the box. I am just not fully convinced by Gato's comments that he can run a game in midfield. If he was my player I'd always be playing him in advanced positions.

Yeah we will see what happens. Should be a good game - I'd like to watch it buy probably be busy at 3.30 pm.

Cheers, some I am not sure about but we'll see. Not sure about Athletic winning in Turkey in the Europa game. Dortmund-Barca is a really hard prediction.

I had already decided before you said :mad: :ROFLMAO:

Yeah he's a quality player especially near the box.

Brilliant play by him, keeper was a little weak as well to be fair.

True @Fati_Future_BallonDor , probably underestimated Leverkusen there. Right here is what I am on for tonight (with an early EL game there as well). Might alter some

Yeah gone for 2-2

Hi again mate Here is more info on the draw - seems it's a little more complicated than just a straight draw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024%E2%80%9325_UEFA_Champions_League_knockout_phase#Knockout_phase_play-offs

Yeah, lots of people in football have crazy opinions. There's a lot of low IQ people in football which is why it amuses me when people say we should listen to footballers. They generally lack analytical skills and their football ability doesn't translate to analysis (I know this doesn't apply to...

Lol yeah some will claim it was silly to back Atalanta with the security of hindsight, but - as with the Celtic game the Bergamo team played - it seems that Atalanta were well on top and if you played that game 10 times they'd win a lot of them (just surmising as I was unable to watch the game)...

Anyway, changed Sporting to a loss and got an exact. Backing the two Italian teams (Inter and Atalanta) cost me. Still got 5/9 though and green arrows.

Hi mate think it was @Rassvet, he was right that the draw is mostly predetermined to ensure higher teams generally meet lower teams, here's more of how it will work apparently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024%E2%80%9325_UEFA_Champions_League_knockout_phase#Knockout_phase_play-offs Edit...

They're the most underwhelming 'big club' going. They think they're a massive club. To be fair they have won a lot of English titles and FA Cups. But they have always been an irrelevance in Europe. Also, their history started with a cash injection which is ironic given their moaning about City...

Fair points mate

Quality in attack but meant a lot of the players behind them had a lot to do. Di Maria is the main worker there. Think in 2010 and 2014 they suffered a lot from lack of fluency and chemistry as an overall team. It's amazing they got to the final in 2014 because even there I felt they were more...

Indeed. However, the three South American stadia are just for the first few games of the tournament. It would be cool if the final went back to Uruguay but flying from Europe to Uruguay over four or five days would see outrage from fans and people within the game, most likely. It's bad enough at...

Maybe it's nostalgia for the time, but I really did think Batistuta was devastating. Even if you remove him, though, when guys like Romario and Van Basten are about, I think it's fair to say those two and others I named could/would be above Henry. Anyway not bothered much - Henry was a...

Fair enough. I tend to agree it wasn't an amazing pass, but the weighting on it was very impressive. Alberto ran right onto it (though it baubled before he hit it, didn't stop him scoring though, lol). I am a massive fan of Ronnie too so I agree on his passing and playmaking. Maybe you are...
