So true. It's half bantering. However, as I have asked a few times already, I would like Rassvet to offer an explanation for this:

Read this online - looks like I could have written it (though I'd have gone into even more detail and not been so kind about this rapist freak). Good to see the world isn't full of thick Ronaldo fanboys ' Messi is leaps and bounds better footballer than Ronaldo. Let me first start by saying...

The good old days

Read this on Redcafe from a Porto fan, how accurate do you think he is? @Messi983 ' Yeh Alan Varela should be joining a big club in the next few years, we are in the process of renewing his contract for a reason. He is already a pretty good old school Dm. He is a sure thing. The Biggest...

Thanks for the info mate, was very good to read. I know what you mean - I have a real respect for 'second tier' teams too like Benfica (modern Benfica), Porto, Sociedad, Villarreal, Betis, Sevilla, Athletic Club, Valencia, Leverkusen, Leipzig, Marseille, PSV, Ajax (modern Ajax), Brighton...

Porto away next for this lot. Everyone that knows football and is familiar with the European football scene, and its history, knows that Porto in the Dragao is a difficult game, same as Benfica in Luz or Sporting in Alvalade. The big three in Portugal (certainly Benfica and Porto) are in the...

Do you still follow La Liga quite a lot then mate (other than barca?) You seem to have a lot of knowledge of the league. Just remember you saying you were fed up of football in general these days. Is your appetite for it there sometimes?

Linked to my CL predictions, doing quite well in the PL predictor so far this season - it's normally my weakest league as there's the most competition. I'd be a little higher had I not changed my Spurs 2-1 to 2-2 the other day. 13 exacts out of 60 - that luck will surely run out over the season.

Did he get in round the back against the Young Boys? Seriously though, he'd gone quiet so glad to see him get into form.

Insert Young Boys joke.

Indeed. That is what I meant by how there were several results tonight where big clubs from big leagues are way ahead. The type that were predicted by 99 percent of people. The PSV, Arsenal and even Leverkusen predictions were pretty good though. They're far less predicted in terms of percentage.

Big balls against Young Boys.

Thanks. Yeah like I say some of them are more obvious like Man City or Barcelona, those are like 98 percent or 99 percent predicted. Others are less obvious though and that's where I should climb the ranks. It's hard to get exact scorelines but often you can get the right outcome (team A or B...

Not a bad night kids - fair enough some of these outcomes are straightforward, but a few done well with. Particularly pleased with the exact for PSV-Sporting. 59 percent went with Arsenal and 39 percent with the draw in PSV. That's where I will make my gains.

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.

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.

Kudos.

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.

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.
