I would say Atletico Madrid away match was quite a test, for a PL team as well in the last round.

Get a good owner in and those 4-3 thrillers will come back.

Newcastle should be a no brainer for anyone wanting to get involved in the league. So much potential.
You're right! I forgot about that one. Was a great game too.

Oh definitely, but it'd be wonderful otherwise.
He'd have Roman Reigns as our new #9. lol
Napoli might rotate the squad a bit. Inter at the weekend and their focus is on the scudetto.

I do fancy a chicken chow mein with sweet and sour chicken balls.
Singapore fried rice, SS chik hk style and some Deep fried crispy chilli beef and we're talking.
I like the cut of your jib.
Dont do this to yourself
Believe in heynckesRibery just said he plans to come much earlier than planned at the end of December. I was really hoping his injury would take longer than planned instead (was supposed to come Jan-Fed)

He knows how to handle divas and the squad

Why do they keep putting shite like this on Mondays?
Nobody knows. MNF should be more exciting than this.

So Italy will be facing either one of Greece, Sweden, and the Irelands.
Think our best chance would be with the Greeks. The Swedish are actually a good team while I don't like our chances with either Ireland. At least we avoid having to face Croatia in order to get in.

Leicester are a bit shit huh?
Is it bad that I want to see them relegated? Justice for Ranieri!

Wouldn't be against it(sorry if there's Leicester fans here). Also I can't stand Jamie Vardy so down to the Championship with you.
Edit: Of course they score now!

European week = the perfect time to get a few contractually obliged games for teams no one outside their fans want to watch like West Brom shown init.

I believe in him obviously, but it doesn't help that Ribery in the last year and a half has turned into complete locker room cancer. I can tell from his interviews, he's completely disillusioned thinking he's at the level of the best wingers in the world. Was hoping Coman would have more time without Ribs creepily breathing down his neck.

Hopefully Coman performs really good so when Ribery comes back and he under performs, Coman can take his spot indefinitely. Regardless i think this will be Riberys last year, hopefully Bayern don't give him a new contract
Well, we still have Ashley and we've been up for sale before. There's no guarantee of any mega rich group or individual actually buying the club so I'm not getting my hopes up. If it happens, great, if not, then business as usual.

Ireland got Denmark and the home game is second, best possible draw for us.
Indeed, Denmark are a better team but I reckon Ireland have a chance.

I expect Italy to progress comfortably from that draw. Sweden are probably the only team of the unseeded 4 that will actually come out and play against them.

I wanted a hatelove game vs our danish cousins:/ We will probably get a bad first half in the first game from nerves that will destry the chances:/ Like we looked vs the last Netherlands game. I expect a loss on something lame like away goal rule if thats still around.

I have a hard time seeing us beating Italy really.

Ireland is probably the draw most Danes wished for as well. Good draw, would make Denmark slight favorites I think. Just happy it isn't fucking Sweden again

Away goals will be in effect, so it's a possible scenario.

Wakes up, checks the news, sees Italy faces Sweden for a World Cup spot.
I...think we can do this? Sweden is actually a good enough side that this lot might actually be inclined to try and play well. Then again given the team in question, I can see us somehow blowing this.
Northern Ireland got a raw deal getting Switzerland as their opponent. Can't see them pulling the upset off.
And If Greece can defeat Croatia in the playoffs, that would be great.
