Rival Watch / Other Teams

Napoli looking susceptible. Maybe we might beat them in Naples after all

 

Almost as magnificent as his hair.

 

Almost being the key word.

 

They are a different animal at home.

 

I suppose so Still think a point there should be enough providing we beat Marseille to win the group

 

With them being a bit pants on the road to the big teams, it looks we might indeed have get something in that final game against them.

 

Napoli VG at home but question mark against them under pressure. They could have been 2 or 3 up in the first 20 at the bridge and just folded after we scored to lose 4-1

 

Hoping for a draw vs Dortmund. If not I hope Dortmund absolutely destroy them so they have a crappy Tri H2H GD.

 

Chelsea seem to benefit the most.....

 

In the pivot?

 

Next to the DM.

 

Ta. If only we had a player like him in the pivot!!

 

They can score 7 goals at home every time they play there but if they keep losing away they will end up below many teams that have scored less, you have scored 18 by the way and are 4 places above them.

 

I see that Messi has been ruled out for two months with a hamstring injury. I wonder if he will return to be as good as he once was. Being out for 2 months might not sound too serious, but the likes of Torres and Owen lost a lot of their pace after serious hamstring injuries.

 

Injuries starting to pile up on him, he's played so many games for Barca, but on the other hand, you look at Ronaldo, and the guy's barely been out with long term injuries, how long can that guy without injuries catching up with him?

 

Any guesses what this table represents?

Pool +4
City +3
Spurs +2
Arse -3
Chels -5
Utd -8

 

Corresponding fixtures is my guess.

 

Goal difference between this season and last season at this point?

 

Bingo

Its the points increase/decrease on last seasons fixtures (with Cardiff, Hull and Palace replacing Wigan, Reading and QPR)

Major surprise for me was City who despite being s**te away are actually better off and Arsenal being down on last years.
Slight surprise that Chelsea are 5 worse off and Spurs slightly better.
Think most people can see Pool's improvement and Utds drop off.

Shows how this seasons fixtures have been skewed into easy and tough blocks for some teams.
It will be clearer after 19 games I guess.

 

I made a table like that last year and tracked it through for a while. Until I realised it was showing nothing and completely worthless :S
