Spring Moderator February 21, 2019 Share February 21, 2019 Man City showed real pedigree by coming from 1-2 down and also with 10men to win 3-2 at Schalke this morning. They have now taken a huge step into the last 8 with goals from Aguero, Sane and Sterling. Otamendi was shown the red card. Ath Madrid with the ever physical Diego Costa restored back in the starting line up beat Juventus 2-0 and now looks firm favourites to progress. The UCL Final will be played at their stadium this year so they hv a strong desire to go all the way. Ath Madrid are a very well organised n physical side with a good defence. They enjoy harassing teams and didnt allow Juventus to slow the game down n in Costa they have the perfect leader of the line n a great foil for marksman Griezmann. They can go far and only a team with high quality players might overcome them. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic February 21, 2019 Share February 21, 2019 Liverpool's memorable run to the Champions League final last season brought in a whopping £575million to the UK economy, a study by Deloitte has found. The financial impact on the Liverpool region by the 1.5 million-plus football fans who visited Anfield during the 2017-18 season was worth £497m of this figure. Liverpool asked the Deloitte Business Group to examine the broader economic impact of matchday activity during last season in the first study of its kind. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Moderator February 22, 2019 Share February 22, 2019 Chelsea and Arsenal through to last 16 of UEL with 3-0 wins vs Malmo and Bate respectively. Inter Milan, Sevilla, Napoli, Benfica and Villarreal amongst some of the stronger sides left in the competition. Tonite is the draw for last 16 of UEL. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Moderator February 22, 2019 Share February 22, 2019 the figures are mind boggling... before it was quashed, i think last week there were rumours saying saudi prince wanted to takeover Man Utd, at >3 bil pounds... that would make the Glazers v rich... Imagine Maradona moved only for 3 mil pounds back in 1982... now coutinho brought in ~150 mil... Anyone here the salary has gone up 50x during the same period? Football inflation! Last time I had the mistaken impression that there was not much money to make, if any at all in owning a Football club but looks like I’m wrong. Most of the owners bar City n Chelsea owners shld be able to exit with a tidy profit. I know there are a lot of naysayers here and in most Football forums against Sheikh Mansour and Roman Abramovich on their buying success but it also shows that this 2 owners are the ones who put their money where their mouths are and manage to penetrate the elite in Football with their huge $ investment otherwise the big 6 would be probably big 3 or 4 only. I’m in favour of more elite to give the established clubs a run for their money! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Moderator March 5, 2019 Share March 5, 2019 Real Madrid out of UCL going down 1-4 to Ajax at the Bernabeu (agg 3-5). Think it will be the end for Solari as this is about the earliest RM has gone out of this competition in recent years. Some rumours JM might be approached to return though I personally feel unlikely. Spurs flew the EPL flag high with a 1-0 win At Dortmund (agg 4-0). To beat a team that is leading the Bundesliga by such a big margin is really an achievement, well done 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic March 6, 2019 Share March 6, 2019 zidane and cr7 clever, they bail out at their peak . maybe they know something wrong with the team liao.. Yeah Zidane knew Madrid were broke when they had to sell CR7 to balance the books and he left them faster than rats on a sinking ship. Now Madrid are changing managers faster than Leicester City.

Spring Moderator March 6, 2019 Share March 6, 2019 zidane and cr7 clever, they bail out at their peak . maybe they know something wrong with the team liao.. Modric claims it is precisely cos CR7 left hence the team has weakened n missing his goals which is irreplaceable. Looks like Neymar will be the likely replacement if they can convince PSG to sell which is a possibility cos PSG need to balance their books esp as they will need to convert the Mbappe loan to a purchase this summer I think. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last free kick goal by ajax remind me of brazil vs england when ronaldinho loop david seaman. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
