Title: Re: Champions League Draw Post by: waltonbasinman on August 26, 2011, 03:38:16 PM I see nothing other than a Barcelona win though Kev. They are so far ahead.
Title: Re: Champions League Draw Post by: Zorro on August 26, 2011, 08:51:11 PM agree paul. they are light years ahead of others at the moment...and playing the right way too. Messi gets kicked lumps out of him nearly every game and just gets up and walks away. They made a good man utd side look like a pub side in the final...and that takes some doing.
Title: Re: Champions League Draw Post by: herbie on August 27, 2011, 07:27:47 AM Look like reasonably balanced groups, though I think City have got a tough one, we'll have to wait and see if all that spending pays off, they're flying high at the moment, but early days and I think that the wear and tear of the season may show in the end. Agree Barca are THE team at the moment, but you never know if Pep's thinking about moving on as was hinted at last season there maybe a bit of uneasiness in the side, fingers crossed ;) They did make Utd look amateurs unfortunately, Utd's midfield just isn't up to it in my opinion, may well be ok for the Premiership, but not on the European scene, should have got Snieder or Nasri, think they should try a sneaky offer for Arshavin, should have got him in the first place a few years back. Hope Arsenal can pull themselves together, they always play such entertaining football, but no consistency.
Overall though I think it'll be Barca all the way :-\ Mrs Herbie |
