Champions League Thread (the dawn of time - 2014)

Seedings are based on European performance though I think, not how good you think a squad is

Which is why they got the semi's the year before and failed to get seeded obviously...

 

[Kev]

I think they are worked out over a period of about 5 years though so if a team comes from virtually nowhere (lets face it chelsea were nothing before the russian cash) they suffer seeding wise.

Yes I know I think a lot but my brain is kind of chaotic thats just how its wired

 

[sachin]

Very valid. But then Madrid have won more championships than Arsenal ever will.

I'm not denying that mate : ,why you have to bring up old form when we are talking about here and now is a little below you,i think.

Well the seeding of Chelsea is a little unexpected,i'm sure the 'almighty one'(Jose Mourinho) will work it to his advantage.

Arsenal have the potential to win the CAHMPIONS LEAGUE this season.Like last time they should at least reach the finals.

I like your optimism. But as Liverpool will know, you cant do it everytime.

 

[sachin]

Yes thats true.We'll have to get past the qaulifying stages first.But after that,i'm sure we'll do well.

Liverpool playing in Israel?

I see a big pig flying over, oh and look he's wearing a superman outfit.

 

[sid_19840]

I reckon we have a slightly tougher opposition compared to someone like Milan.I remember M.Haifa playing ManU a year or two back and they looked pretty ok especially at home.

 

[hondeyho]

I don't think Liverpool will play in Haifa, not after Lebanon's bombardement of it. Best bet is that they'll play in Cyprus - that's what happened when Man U played them in the Champions League a few seasons back.

 

[sachin]

Well looking good for us,but bad luck for Poole!Everytime i read Milan,it make me sick!They defintely shouldn't be there.

 

[sachin]

Our first qaulifier is away on August 8th.

 

[BigCrickNan]

Phew. Edgy in the first half we were asleep when they scored. Second half we dominated everything, and Lusi should of got a penalty. Only chance haifia got was in the 90th minute. Decent start to the season, and our new signings have done reall well.

 

[usy]

hm...... Who did Liverpool sign?
