Rival watch

Would love to see Apoel go through...

Everyone loves a underdog story! (Unless it's your team!)

EDIT: They have done it! In the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Though if they get Barca, they will be destroyed!

 

Aren't the quarter-final ties already setup? EG, the winner of game A plays the winner of game B? thought they did this at the same time as drawing the last round? Or is that the quarters and semis?

 

Sporting just scored to go 1-0 up against Man City

 

Are either of the Manc games on the telly? Non Sky I mean.

Man City are on ITV4

 

Says it all really about that cup.

 

Weird, could have sworn it was referred to as the 'channel five cup'...?????

 

Maybe the ITV4 cup is what is should be renamed then? Honestly I know people mock the CC (and it is a joke cup) but I would 100% rather win the CC than win the europa league after getting knocked out of the cl. Its the worst rule in football.

 

Arsenal haven't had much luck in the cup winning department for quite a few years and the EL or CC Cup would be a vast improvement.

Unless your gonna big up the Emirates Cup.

 

Cheers. Agree it is a **** cup.

But if you're in it you might as well win it.

 

Not been in the EL mate. Cos we always come top 4 because we are class. And the CC we never try, youth team all the way. We are in football for real trophies

 

Top 4 is a cash cow with no trophy for a top 4 finish.
Your talking bullshit about your 'youth team all the way'
Its been a few years since you won a 'real' trophy.

Unless you count your Emirates Cups.

 

Real trophies that again, you wont be winning

 

Really is there much difference between the CC, EL and Emirates cup? less than you would like to admit anyway.

Been youth team for as long as I can remember in the CC for us. Its barely worth winning. We dont want to drop out standards just to quiet the wums about no trophy in 7 years.

What next? should we get relegated to the championship just so we can win a "trophy" on the way up

 

I am pretty sure both the Carling cup and Europa League are more in the "real trophies" category than the Emirates Cup or nothing???

 

Channel Five cup is on now though...

 

And heres their 'youth team all the way' from their CC final against Brum.

We found ourselves in the final and tried to win it. We didnt get the job done. Never mind. But see our teams this year. Always youth players

 

You might as well play your youth side in the CL.

Always the bridesmaids.
