It has been five years since Liverpool played in CL. They are in title race after five years. On March 17 2014 03:05 Pantagruel wrote: I would include Liverpool in the title discussion. I think City are most likely to win it as they have their destiny in their own hands. but if they do drop points before the Liverpool game then things can get very interesting. I think the loss at Villa really torpedoed Chelsea's chances but naturally it's silly to rule them out. Still, the most important fixtures will be the two games at Anfield with Chelsea and City to visit Liverpool. Those two games will decide the league. Chelsea vs Arsenal on March 22nd is super important too. Loser is out of title race. Manchester City %30 Chelsea 26% Liverpool 23% Arsenal 21% imo, Liverpool higher than Arsenal because they play important games at home. | ||

I think I'd switch liverpool and Chelsea though because the important game is at Anfield which is a fortress this season. Still, Chelsea always get up for the big ones. I forgot a bit about Arsenal haha... I suppose they are still in the race as well. Overshadowed a bit by their CL disappointment I suppose, and past history. This will be a great finish to the league at any rate. | ||

He certainly shouldn't be put in the same breath as Raymond Domenech who would play certain players due to astrology. He can be a tough trainer of course, but by no means is he a lousy one. Speaking of lousy managers though, how about Moyes? United looked absolutely awful today versus Liverpool. When I look at a line-up of RvP, Mata, Rooney, Adnan I feel like those are high calibre creative players but somehow they look utterly lost offensively out there. If United lose versus Olympiacos and City I think Moyes is out. There may not really be a viable replacement at this point for United but at a certain point, the manager has lost the players and continuing on serves no purpose. Van Gaal is a good manager but he's literally insane... | ||

It's impossible to dislike Mourinho's and Guardiola's teacher :3 Mourinho his real student though, he even got Gaal's arrogance.

I wonder how Lewy will handle him. Like Mourinho, he can be poison for anyone who doesn't agree with their views. Also like Mou, him what he wants and he will give you gold though. (Btw expect to see more from Bentaleb under van Gaal, he loves his youth prospects xD) | ||

Competition in Turkey isnt good but at least they will work with a great coach. And most importantly they not likely to miss CL in the future. We know that famous players comes to Gala/Turkey for its fans and CL. oh lower tax bills too. Our chairman, Unal Aysal is a respected business man in EU, our budget has gotten much bigger ever since he elected. Gala is getting bigger and bigger thanks to him. We are slowly coming back to our old days. You may dont know but we actually reached an agreement with Nani, Farfan and Carlinhos but we wasnt able to sign them due to stupid rules by Turkish Football Association. http://www.fotomac.com.tr/galatasaray/2013/08/06/carlinhos-farfan-ve-naniyi-bitirmistik Our chairman states here that we were going to sign them but Turkish Football Association refused to change foreign rules. On February 27 2014 09:47 sitromit wrote: we have to deal with, like restrictions on the number of foreign players we can use in league and cup games. Galatasaray has to play with line-ups in the Champions League that can't play together in domestic matches. I think that's a serious disadvantage. You have to play five Turkish players in the starting line up. And only six foreigner player can play for your team. That also includes substitution. For example, if you field six foreigner players on field, your subs have to be all Turkish. If you field five foreigers, you can have one foreigner player in subs :<. Drogba leaving in summer so we are going to sign another star player. I think it's going to be either Dzeko or Torres but lets see. | ||

Then we can wait Bayern Munih to sell Robben Netherlands trio on Gala WS10, R11, and RV9, so sick :d I was under the impression that Galatasaray (and Fener/Besiktas) aren't in very good financial shape, to the point that not making the CL would bankrupt Gala. Maybe if Drogba leaves that will free up some money but surely RVP will cost even more right? Dangerous way to live. | ||
