Perisic Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Tough draw for City in the year that they have to win the Champions League, or at least make it to the final so they can prove that they're able to do that and go from there. Since the oil money came in they have done fuck all in Europe, if they want to be remembered as a great team they have to change that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AMIW Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 Europa League draw - Inter must be favourites given they have so many TGLITW players in their team - i presume all the Man U players are eligible to play against Man U if drawn together ina later round? Istanbul Basaksehir v Copenhagen Olympiakos v Wolves Rangers v Bayer Leverkusen Wolfsburg v Shakhtar Donetsk Inter Milan v Getafe Sevilla v Roma Eintracht Frankfurt or RB Salzburg v Basel LASK v Manchester United Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I had a bit of a concern that the draw might see Glasgow Rangers in town v Roma. As if Coronavirus wasn't enough of an issue. Thankfully, the draw has averted that prospect (of Rangers in the Vatican City I mean, not Coronavirus). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm no lover of Leverkusen, but I hope they take care of those cloven-hooved troglodytes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DarknessandHope Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 European leagues have committed to ending all domestic seasons by June 30, according to a statement released by UEFA. It is hoped that the current situation improves and resuming playing will be appropriate and prudent enough, with competitions finishing exactly a month after the original end date of May 30. The statement goes on to say there may be 'possible limitations or drops of current exclusive calendar slots, potentially resulting in the scheduling of domestic league matches in mid-week and scheduling of UEFA club competitions matches on weekends.' It also mentions possible adaptations of the 2020/21 Champions League and Europa League qualifying rounds which ordinarily begin in July for some teams Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, hope you and your family are well too. I reckon this season will be finished no matter how long it takes. Even if it goes as far as August or September. Next season will start late, very late. With the FA Cup and League Cup being sacrificed to allow two matches per week to catch up. European tournaments may revert to old fashion knock out competitions for one season ? International friendly games gladly dumped ( mid season break also dumped) until the domestic season is over giving them a month or so to prepare for the European Championships ? Just my thoughts btw 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just my thoughts btw The game at the top level is heading for serious burn out. 92 premier league games left over from last season, fa cup quarter finals, semis and final. CL and EL quarters, semi and final by August. Then 760 PL matches (even if both domestic cups scrapped) all need to be completed by next May. Then Euro 2021 in June, then another PL season, then the World Cup starting straight after that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
