UCL Round of 16 - First Legs - Feb 18 - 26

Should have come to United Bale. Wasted over there.
 
Christ.

Seven away teams doing great in the CL. One not so much.
Someone on here was going to make a lot of money if all the away teams won. Forgot who it was now.
 
I'm not sure how that Bale shot went. My mind hasn't worked out what happened there yet.
 
Not impressed with Draxler so far.
 
So, it looks like all group winners are going to win their away tie. Oh wait....

[white]Sorry, guys, that was too good of a joke not to make. At least you made it that far....[/white]
 
Im a little concerned because I laid us to be winnong 0-2 at half time. Hope we dont score before half time again :nervous:
 
Exchanging Santana with Sokratis has to be one of the best decisions of Klopp at Dortmund. And he made a lot of great ones.

Didn't Santana force that change, because he wanted to leave (and had a clause)?

The hype around Santana was always ridiculous. The less he played, the better he became. It was mental.

He had a clause, yes, but he left for money mostly. We could have offered him more, but instead invested into an upgrade.

Not yet, this Gala side arent that bad, they managed to get out of a group containing Real Madrid and Copenhagen!
 
I am confused by the people who are adamant that Neymar is better than Bale.

I can believe Neymar can become better than Bale. He's got a certain wow factor and close control that Bale lacks. I think he will become a better all round contributor than Bale. But in terms of what he can give his team right away, Bale knows what he's doing.

OTOH - Neymar could just be another Robinho, all flash no bang.

Ronaldo hits the post - not too chuffed about it either :lol:

He is fast and offensively dangerous at set pieces. Thats the best I can say about him, though. Mental that a good portion of supporters wanted him to play instead of Subotic for a while, who is superior in basically everything. Same with Sokratis.
