So Schurrle is practically a done deal according to his agent. May get confirmation this weekend.

Not even, if dortmund won it AC will still be above dortmund as it's a 5 year coefficient.

I didnt mean seeds, I meant places wrt to Dortmund. If Dortmund get to the final get another point. Not sure if it includes the point they have for being in the semi as if not and they get to the final, they will move up a place. They will still be 3rd / 4th (most probably) seeds depending on who qualifies.

Yeah, looks like KDB will be moving the other way on loan though :frown:

. I really wanted him to play next season.

Why the **** are we going for Falcao AND Gomez? Could we not get a rumour regarding a midfielder instead?

Y'know I should be grateful the ref gave that penalty I won 15 quid betting there would be a penalty and we would score in both half's.

I know it's a super crap reason but Sven Bender has always done really well for me on football manager, much better than Mikel anyway :P

Don't think Lamps is going to make the record... It'll be sad if he doesn't.

He's a great player, but sadly he also spends a lot of time injured each season.

If we end up crashing out of the race for top 4 we should just play "Pass the ball to Lamps and let him shoot" until the end of the season. Bound to get his goals that way, even if we get hammered overall. May as well go out in style :bhangra:

We need more penalties when he's on the pitch. Last one we had was v Steau.

the newspapers are saying lots of things on chelsea. 1 is a deal to bring mourinho and falcao is virtually done, and then it also says we've also done a deal to get shurrle. doubt we would buy both falcao and shurrle, shurrle right now seems more believable. mourinho may come back but the papers said this months ago too.

mikel like kalou last season gives the ball away too easily by bad passes or ball taken off him and doesnt make any good passes offensively. we should definately sell him. gettin another claude makelele would be great on top of a striker which we will because we must.

I wonder how many shots Lamps would have if he was one off the record last game of the season. Probably be shooting from the half way line

Does anyone know what effect, if any, two German sides getting into the final will have on us? With the decline of English teams in the UCL compared with the German's increasing dominance, will they get our 4th spot?

Would that even happen this season or does it need to be for a longer period?

Making duplicate accounts to say the exact same things and get shirty when someone disagrees sounds like the actions of someone with a disability. Seriously, another forum that I was on had a guy who started a thread saying his gf had died, he got loads of sympathy, then a few weeks later a "friend" of his said that they had found him dead and then loads of bs came up that it was fake because nobody with his name etc ever lived/died, pictures he claimed where him were just taken from google images.

Anyway a few months later somebody from the same town/same favourite team and player turned up.

Probably this ballsack guy aha.

Oh okay... that's awkward.

I heard people talking about it, but it's good to know it isn't true!

Wouldn't have to worry about that, England are top of the coefficient rankings. And Germany and Spain also have 4 teams eligible for the CL.

Wouldn't worry too much about Italy catching up any time soon.

How are they not going to get caught any time soon?

They only overtook England last year, It only takes one good season by English clubs in the CL/EL and a poor one by Spain and we're top again...

On a side note, just as expected, Scotland have crashed down the rankings with the absence of Rangers, down 6 places.

Wouldn't mind us going for Gomez, at least then we'd get to use the Gomez Button. No point in getting both Gomez and Falcao though.

United could be still be in the semis to be fair, we were quite unlucky to not make it through the group stages (highest ever points for 3rd in a group IIRC) and Arsenal did very well to beat Bayern 2-0 away, so it's not all bad news.

Give it a season or two and English football will be back to its former glory IMO. United are already strong, City just flopped and I think Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are all just a few top quality signings away from being a lot more dangerous in both the EPL and CL, provided they can keep their players.
