Have to say Mertasacker and Koiscelney were excellent tonight. On the other hand now that Arsenal play like Chelski and actually win it's slightly harder to like them.

Only slightly though.

Athletico are through but their group was very weak and Napoli look good so I'm happy there. But the CL without Klopp and the yellow wall ? it's a defeat for football Bill.

Football is a cunt sometimes alright.

How much would you love that gif if it were Chelski fans ?

Oh wait... they don't actually sing anything they just shout racist abuse at the opposition.

 

[Cormcolash]

Maybe it is Chelski fans, and all the yellow is just bags of bananas standing by to be thrown at black players

I know Arsenal are through on merit but t's a huge pity that it's an either or situation with Napoli and Dortmund. Tonight's match has been a brilliant end to end cup tie. Set up great now for thrilling last 10


wait 3-1 vintage Dortmund goal. Great finish.

We can still go out if we get smashed in the final game.

Edit wait 3-0 would do it wouldn't it ?

I forgot they were playing Napoli

 

[Unicron]

By 7 goals as it stands.

By 3, if the 3 top sides all finish on 12 points it's determined on GD in a 3 team mini-league. We're currently +2, Napoli are -3. Dortmund have + 1 and that's how they'll finish

 

[washingcattle]

BBC has you at +5 and Napoli at -1 I think their maths lad is on the sauce though

That accounts for results against Marseille

Are they still doing that ? It's a tightrope and I think that system is probably slightly better but it gets fucking confusing. Anyway the only way Napoli will get to 3-0 is if Arsenal go a man down.

 

[Cormcolash]

Yeah pretty sure if Napoli win 3-0 then Arsenal can go out.

It's not unthinkable. The San Paoulo is not a place you go to expecting to win. I'd say it'll be 3-1 with Giroud getting a tap in in the first 10 minutes followed by an epic onslaught from Napoli.

 

[Unicron]

I think we've a decent shot of a draw.

Oh yeah definitely could even snatch a win if they play like they did in Dortmund. I just wouldn't be surprised if Napoli go beastmode and get close to the required result.

 

[Cormcolash]

I'm saying 3-0 Napoli, with Pepe Reina scoring the third in the 6th minute of injury time with an overhead kick from a corner crossed to the far side of the box

 

[Cormcolash]

Hmm, if Reina hadn't been injured and the ref had added another few minutes, the scenario above could actually have happened. Damn.

Anyway, ArsenLOL vs Bayern and Man City vs Barca, hopefully Messi is back and that's two English teams out then

That dude posted all combinations of draws and then when it happened deleted the other ones.


Very tough draw for us.

 

[Cormcolash]

Haha yeah I read that, I was seeing if anyone would take the bait!
