Need to scrap these two leg affairs. I agree. It's a much more interesting format and condensed into a mini tournament. Hopefully the shape of thing yo come.

How good would it be if it went back to champions only? This has been a different dynamic and it’s a shame there weren’t people in the stadiums to have seen it live.

Toepoke Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 It's been a great format but they've made the best of the current circumstances, with the need for the tournament to be wrapped up quickly, teams avoiding quarantine and matches played without fans. I'm not sure how that could be translated to a regular season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just beautiful seeing them get humped. 12/1 was mad odds in a CL quarter especially when Pep had shat his pants at the might of Lyon and matched systems. When they went to their ref for comment on the offside that should have definitely been offside then quickly changed to definitely being a foul in the build up was fantastic. Ended up resorting to foreign teams all dive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up resorting to foreign teams all dive. I put £1 on Lyon to qualify at 8/1 and £1 on them not lose in 90 (Lyon or Draw at 90 mins) at 10/3 - for an £11.34 profit. Thought the odds would be overestimating Man City, especially after Lyon knocked out Juventus. On the case of odds and for anyone who thinks Bayern may not win he competition. Bet365 allowed me to put a £5 bet on each PSG, Leipzig and Lyon to win the competition separately - so if anyone but Bayern wins the Champions League, I'm up (£3.75 for PSG; £35 for Leizpig and £50 for Lyon; obviously down £15 if Bayern do win).

Talking of odds, betfair had Johan Cruyff at 16’s to be next Barca manager. I’d be looking for significantly more than that if I was a gambling man.

Farcity Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Lovely jubbly. Last season is getting better and better every day. Watch them try to pin that exclusively on Lindelof, whilst overlooking Wan-Bissaka who stood and watched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically though, each and every one of them have more chance of managing a football club that Cruyff does....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Beem Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Man United made a right cunt of that tonight. I remember seeing a tweet about the boy Fred being the worst Brazilian since Stevie Wonder shaved his wife’s fanny. I’m no longer sure that was a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I threw caution to the wind and put the £9.87 sat in my Bet365 on it as they were offering to match it with a free bet in play. I'm not going lie and say I was massively confident but just thought it was mad value - no way they play that game on neutral territory and Man City win 11 on the bounce.

kumnio Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Before the Man City v Real Madrid game, I put on two bets, £10 on Bayern and £10 on Real Madrid to win the tournament. Obviously Real Madrid went out, but I thought they were worth a bet, as I think Man City are pretty abysmal at the back, but sadly RM played shite. Bayern are the best team in Europe by a good distance IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde1998 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Inter 4-0 Shakhtar with ten minutes to go. Inter going about their normal game; Shakhar have clearly changed tactically, played slower (down from 1/2 touches per pass to 5+) and been thumped as a result. I don't get why sides don't just play to their strengths and overthink it for each game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's quality, think Barca have been linked with him, if they get rid of all the players they say they are they might get him but probably cost a fortune.

It's impressive any side could win six Europa Leagues/UEFA Cups in fifteen seasons, particularly when they have rarely broken into the top four in the Spanish league in that time.
