Way to go there champ.
I don't think I made anything up, nor do I have an agenda. It's simply an observation.
Nobody in England thinks we are gonna stroll through the CL so yes you did and yes you do.

Perhaps these quotes up thread, which struck me, were meant to be humorous, if so stand corrected. If not, you could offer an apology.

All four EPL teams should make the knockouts which will be interesting.

mule getting them excuses ready for when 4 Goat liga teams are in ko stages

Gonna be 4 GOAT PL teams as well though

City have the best team in this group on paper this year by a fair margin….. I think they'll take top spot

Can't wait until we expose the fraud that is Guardiola. Jack Wilshere to score the winning goal just to rub it in.

lmao the 2nd and last comments were both banter, it's so obvious, and the 3rd in reply to dat dere banter.

I don't see much wrong with the first and fourth comments tbh.

by breva Fri Aug 28, 2015 7:53 am

If it is just banter and the comments are meant to imply the opposite, i.e. that the PL teams will have a difficult time going through, I stand corrected. Thanks for the explanation.

by El Gunner Fri Aug 28, 2015 8:01 am

Banter doesn't necessarily imply the opposite is meant.

And as I said the first and fourth once are serious comments, and I don't see much wrong with them, in fact I agree with what was said.

by breva Fri Aug 28, 2015 8:13 am

I see, you agree that the PL clubs will have an easy time of it. That was my original point. Am I permitted to be amazed, at that? Or is it not permitted?

by El Gunner Fri Aug 28, 2015 8:24 am

None of those comments say that the EPL teams "will have it easy", it just says that on paper, all 4 clubs should have enough to make it through to the group stages. And with that I totally agree. If you don't think the same, then fair enough mate you are entitled to your own opinion.

by breva Fri Aug 28, 2015 8:40 am

I will have to do better at interpreting the gist of the statements that struck me, i.e. add the disclaimer you suggest, "should have enough". Which would fall in line with supporters of clubs from other leagues who have some doubts.

Thanks for confirming that I am entitled to my own opinion.

Banter aside, you don't really need to full-quote the post right above your own when you reply to it. It is fully sufficient to just write your reply, thus I decided to delete the quotes as they make reading the thread a bit tedious. Thank you very much for your attention. ^^

With Roma and Juve seeded during R16, i believe Serie A can outperform Budesliga this season

I don't remember posting in this thread hmm

by rwo power Fri Aug 28, 2015 1:28 pm

I moved the post from the EL thread to the CL thread as it was about Roma and Juve. :coffee:

You know it will never happen.

PSV, United, Galatasaray, Malmö it is.
Yes.

Then van Gaal's Red Devils progress 2:1, 2:3 against Porto, 2:1, 2:3 against Bayern.
They dominate Benfica in the semis to get humourlessly disposed of by Chelsea in the final.

Futbol and me getting that important jinx in early :bow:
