Match Day Thread 2016/17 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Nope, it's called the Champions League so they made the champions top seeds

 

Its called "the champions league" because someone at Uefa thought it was better than "The Top 4 Cup" never had the same ring to it.

 

Of specific leagues

 

Yep

 

I never mentioned why it was so called

 

I know that, so I did it for you.

 

Obviously by idiot manc logic utd have only won the top 4 two bob cup in recent times.

Piss poor wumming just to be wumming.

 

I reckon there is a good chance that all four could get out their groups this year

 

So West Ham just got knocked out of the Europa league by a car

 

Absolutely Scandalous and they ought to be ashamed.

All they want is to focus on the league, they never tried a leg here.

Then they wonder why they got ****e all signings.

The only reason payet stayed was his age was against him.

 

Sounds like you are worried about getting top 8 now another team has no EL commitments

 

Now that the uefa bribe has taken effect and the top 4 trophy is secure it no longer actually matters.

They're small time that's all.. same as spurs, they act like they are not but when push comes to shove these guys fold.

 

Watching Klopp interview on Premier League Show now

 

how was it. what did he have to say?

 

recorded it

 

Watch it and see

Nah, he talked about being at Mainz and Dortmund and the connection with fans, talked about his philosophy not being the most intelligent,talked about winter break, talked about England at the Euros making some good points and also about LFC history and squad selection, as well as generally pissing around and having a big joke. They also showed some fairly embarrassing bald, tubby middle aged lads hanging around outside Melwood ... 13 year olds or whatever yeah, but at that age, come on lads hang it up, maybe they could play at LB though

 

The longer our league rivals are involved in Europe, the better our chances are in the league

 

Or they gain more confidence and momentum which would be bad for you

 

I won't mention West Ham then...

 

Some folk over rating our league a bit with talk of easy groups and topping them etc. There's very little in the last few CL's to back that up

For what it's worth:

City should get 2nd behind Barca
Arse should get out but don't think they will finish above PSG. They rarely top a group with an elite team in it.
Spurs haven't got an easy group. They have little CL pedigree so It's wide open IMO. Could be 1st or 3rd.
Leicester have got the best draw. Fair play, they won the bloody league so earn't it. A real chance to progress to the KOs which would be massive for them. (Think Raneri will definitely chuck the League cup now)

Some of the other groups are tough with potential Quarter finalists banging heads already.

Celtic are royally fooked but at least Parkhead will be full and rocking for the home games.
