you realise we are currently 4th dont you?
Champions League Round of 16 (18th Feb - 8th Aug)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Coutinho is a weird one. Does he have any other moves?
At this rate, Chelsea might not even make the Europa league next season
Busquets, Vidal, Pique. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of guys.
How comes though? Considering the money involved in the PL, the league should be the best by miles.
Vidal 
Barca now without Biscuits and Vidal for the 2nd leg

I feel a bit bad for Lampard. He looks like a friendly dude.
We were there last season! 'Not ever' is needlessly melodramatic.
Pique down. Emergency defender signing for Barca incoming.. where's Steven Caulker playing these days?
Need to try that on messi, that's their one shot of winning the second leg
Pique injured and both Vidal and Busquets miss next match because of red and yellows.
Bayern eased off once Chelsea went down to 10 men. Be thankful for the small comforts.
Vidal
Barca now without Biscuits and Vidal for the 2nd leg
Do you have one of Alonso
Lewa did clear one off of our line in fairness.
Barca are welcome to sign Phil Jones for 20m
Chelsea, United and Arsenal all have amatuers as their managers. Spurs haven't invested well and have a washed manager.
I also think because all the other clubs in the PL have money it's not so easy to poach other domestic players as easily
The season hasn't ended mate. Butload of games to go.
Chelsea weren't that bad. Got into loads of good positions. Bayern can't afford to give anyone else the space they've given Chelsea here.Just shows you the difference top attackers make
Could be a blessing in disguise for Barca so their team isn't made up of 4 central midfielders. Could really do with a winger out there.
To say that they’ll be “nowhere near the CL spots” is just downright ridiculous though, especially considering your own patchy form and Spurs without a striker.
Even we were there last season to be fair.
Amazing how fast such a big stadium can be emptied 
It probably still is but the standard has fallen off a cliff throughout Europe imo
So surprised that the half-hourly murmurings of "Chowsay Chowsay Chowsay Chowsay" didn't inspire Super Frank's team to greater things.
Had to play Hoddle bingo instead.
How many ways can Hoddle say Bayern?
Barn. Ban. Band. Barren. Ba'an.

Excellent result and in large parts a very good game from Bayern. Nevertheless we let Chelsea create quite a few very dangerous situations.
You’d be raging if you were frank and you’ve seen two blatant reds not given by English refs and VAR and then that gets given in Europe
Games and performances like that are why it's a joke when Carragher calls Liverpool the best side in the world
Amazing how fast such a big stadium can be emptied
It's not a big stadium. Aston villa have higher attendances.
I'm sorry but Mason Mount is absolutely shocking. He got really found out at this level. Had lots of opportunities to slip players through, cut back and pass and even some shooting spaces. Showed absolutely nothing and should never be a starter for either Chelsea or England if they have any ambition.
Serge Gnabry hates Londoners.
I don’t understand how Barca allowed Thiago to leave.
Lewandowski was excellent tonight.
They are the current holders of this competition though.
Well that was fun.
Well he only cost us 10 million
There is absolutely no way we will sell him. He is the big surprise of our season and arguably the best player besides Lewy, Müller, Thiago and Alaba.
He is also a very, very likeable and funny guy, go and watch his tik tok videos
That was last season and whilst I find what they've done in the league this season outstanding they've shithoused their way to a large amount of their results
Proof tonight of how poor the current Premier League is. Yes Liverpool are probably the best team in the world at this moment in time, but when one of last years finalists and Chelsea are conceding 10 at home to a barely top-of-the-Bundesliga Bayern, who were easily dispatched by last seasons winners, I think that highlights how bad those 3rd place and down are relative to the Champions of the elite leagues.
Oh yeah, we can see that...
The PL was by far the best, last season. All 4 European finalists were PL but there's no long term planning involved in the PL. Everything is short term so that kind of complete dominance was unlikely to last.
