Nani looks like he is back. Honestly more players struggling to hit form should drop to a lower league where they can get their confidence back, a shame their bank account interests them more most of the time. (Looking at you Torres, come play for Feyenoord!)

Neuer didn't do anything wrong for those goals.

And who is supposed to be better? Neuer clearly demonstrates that he's the best keeper in the world, even if he isn't a god like some commentators make him out to be.


He is indeed the best from the current gen of keepers.
He's just not all time great material like prime buffon was.


Not yet.
He already proved that he has the potential. Especially during the WC. Let's see how his career continues.

Why can't us or ajax get a break and get man.c in the group stage for once? lol

We got them once but we were in a group with Barça and another good team but I don't remember which one.


Nope you guys were with Madrid and Dortmund.

(Apart from City no push-overs, really tough group)

Ah right it was Madrid. Well no matter we've had either Barça or Real Madrid the last 4/5 CLs I think.


Ajax only have the themselves to blame imo. No disrespect to them, but they deserve their pot 3 status.

True, they've gotten really tough draws lately, but they finish third every season and get a chance to show their quality in the Europa League, but they crash out every year in the first or second knockout round. Clubs like Benfica and Porto have cemented themselves in pot 1 by performing consistently in the Europa League, even while having their best players poached every summer like Ajax does.


Rofl sorry for calling you out but comparing Ajax with Porto/Benfica is just bullshit. They are able to get outside EU talents without having to pay them over 500k salary.

Secondly I want to remind you an a few facts;

1. Zagreb vs Lyon that game was fucking fixed as hell.
2. 2 goals were not counted vs Real Madrid.
3. Penalty vs AC Milan which wasn't one.

So 3 times we got fucked over by the uefa, let alone the group stage draws.

But I agree with the part about getting knocked out by teams in europa league tho.


Law of averages. For every time a team suffers from poor officiating, they're going to benefit from poor officiating while the other team suffers. People just don't notice the bad calls in their team's favor due to confirmation bias.

There's no officiating conspiracy. Not against Ajax, not against Sporting, not against anybody.

I'm talking about the numbers in penalties (in favor and against), not any "feelings".

IIRC Madrid has had the most penalties called among all teams in every Liga for the past 5 Ligas straight. Not just compared to Barça, but also to every other of the ~20 teams.

So you could say "that's because Madrid is the strongest team and the other teams are forced to commit more penalties against them". So let's compare their numbers with Barça's, another equally strong(er) team:

Penalties between 2008-2013:

RM: 44 in favor, 10 against. +34
FCB: 25 in favor, 15 against. +10

No one has ever said Neuer is all time great...
What have you been smoking recently? o.O


Yeah hes not even close to the best ever German Keeper but for me hes definitely the best active keeper at the top level for sure.

Those numbers don't mean much though. Many more factors have to be taken into account. First of all, RM shows up in the box way more often than Barça do. Barça play more of a possessive style where they play around the box while RM runs more at the defense into the box. Obviously they're gonna get more penalties then. Same with Liverpool last year with Sterling/Suarez/Sturridge running at defenders. They also got a shitload of penalties.

Also, when it comes to penalties against: even though there's just a small discrepancy in the results, Barça leaves a lot of room behind the defense while RM is set up a bit more defensively. It's easier to defend when you play for Real Madrid so that means less mistakes. So that also means less penalties against.

Those numbers are just ways to stir up more shit.

The numbers are just that, you can either accept that or make up shit to try and imagine they don't mean what they do (the ref bias). I'm not using them of accusing Madrid of being the mafia. Everyone with enough brains and who watches how things work in this country knows that already, it has been true for the past 50 fucking years... and I don't even care anymore lol.

I mean it doesn't get any more obvious than this. If you really think there is no bias/mafia in spanish football you can buy some magical beans on your way home too.

Ludogerets vs Liverpool is 50% 50%.

They barely beat Ludogerets at Anfield so expect a tough game.

Do or die for Pool. From the BBC:



If Liverpool win: They will move on to six points and a win by any margin against Basel in their final group game would secure progression to the last 16, provided Basel fail to beat Real Madrid tonight. If Basel beat Real, Liverpool would have to beat the Swiss side by at least two clear goals, or single-goal win of 2-1 or more, to progress.

If Liverpool draw: They could exit the Champions League tonight with a draw and if Basel beat Real Madrid. The Reds will live to fight another day if they draw and Basel lose or draw.

If Liverpool lose: Defeat tonight means they would need to hope Real beat Basel to avoid elimination. Brendan Rodgers's side would then have to defeat the Swiss side and hope Ludogrets lose to Real, leaving three teams on six points, and then it comes down to points gained between the three sides. In this situation, all three teams would be level on six points in the head-to-head table, meaning it would go down to goal difference in the matches between the teams.


Arsenal are for the most part, safe.

Actually additional question - PL fans and especially Pool supporters - should Brendan Rodgers be sacked?
