Euro League Round of 16

[Exiled_red]

even the milans and the munichs of this world had to play in this lower competition in the last few seasons

everyone slips up, lets just make sure we don't stay at this level.

Perhaps, but I for one am going to be positive about it and talk it up rather than down, I want to enjoy this as much as I can and hope we go all the way to final.

We're all desperate to finish 4th, rather than 5th or 6th - for one reason and one reason only - so we're not in this tinpot again next season

[lickedlollipop]

Kazan will win Wolfsburg IMO.

[Assassin]

Hamburger SV - Anderlecht
Rubin Kazan - Wolfsburg
Atletico Madrid - Sporting Lissabon
Benfica - Marseille
Panathinaikos - Standard Liege
Lille - Liverpool
Juventus - Fulham
Valencia - Werder Bremen

They're hardly the Milans, Barcelonas, Madrids, Manchesters and Munichs of this world.

It's clearly a lower level and we shouldnt be there.

Of course, but what I'm saying is that I'm finding this a decent competition and I'm going to enjoy it, it's a better cup then the FA cup IMO and more fun.

[Craig_H]

Yes yes, very clever. I was obviously talking about the 'real' madrid.

I doubt people in Spain refer to City, when they say 'Manchester'.

The Euro League is def. stronger than the UEFA cup was just a few years ago.

Probably, but I can't get my head around having all these assistants behind the goals. Stupid idea and looks very mickey mouse

The extra assistants have made tons of wrong calls this season

Looks real random, you see the guy last week, he was almost chatting to the midfielders he was so high up!

Yeah, I know, they don't have a flag either and and I haven't seen them communicating with the ref once, so what exactly do they if they see something? Yell at the ref maybe? Or are they not supposed to offer advice on anything but goals?

[npinn001]

I'd like to avoid Juve for all the press that would be stirred up about Rafa going to them and then made up secret meetings etc that would come with it.

[Armchairkopite]

I concur about these extra officials, they look bloody ridiculous.

[kev776]

we are in this cup for a reason.

[Dhav]

There's simply too many teams and too many games in this convoluted competition. They need to look at trimming it.
