We helped, but I've seen plenty of other fans of clubs on other forums say that it was manipulative of us and a nasty thing to do. Strangely or not (a lot of those fans were Liverpool fans).
Did you see Drogba's dive today? Arguably the worst he's ever had.
Still couldn't handle him though, terrific player even at 35.

Drogba still makes me cry when he scores. Why did he leave us. Seems like sneijders found his feet at gala too. Wouldn't want them in the group stages tbh.

Think we will tbh. Then if we get past the group stages we'd probably face Napoli (if they made it past, and if they weren't in the group stages), or Madrid.

Can we just get porto, ajax and some second rate team please?
Haha, any of those teams would be alright. Wouldn't even mind Shahktar because they've gotten weaker. Just not Bayern or anyone like that
We can't be that weak compared to Gala though. I think we'd do alright.
I reckon a win and a draw vs gala tbh. Shaktar did still dominate the league again. I don't know about their signings are they still raiding metalist btw?

What they like to do is buy loads of promising youngsters from mainly South America -- the most being Brazil. Similar to Porto in that sense. Also, because their owner is rich as hell (much richer than Abramovich), as well as their stadium size, success over the years, etc. they're easily able to buy the good/promising players from the other teams in the league which weakens any competition and they have an advantage over their closest rivals to the league in getting those players.
And yes, Metalist haven't had a great record against them recently. And Shahktar were 14 points clear this season, I believe. It'll probably be lower this season since they've lost some key players (Fernandinho and Henrikh), and having their youngsters develop but I expect them to win it again. It'll be harder this time without Willian, Fernandinho and Henrikh in the CL too which is why it wouldn't be as hard to beat them.
Agree with the record vs Gala btw.

We're facing Milan tonight . Should be good. Then against Real Madrid if we win
Cech Azpilicueta Ivanovic Cahill Bertrand Van Ginkel Essien De Bruyne Oscar Hazard Ba
vs milan
Any problems? Looks fine tbh.
Well it seems he is really gonna give some of these youngsters a chance to show what they are about and prove themselves against a formidable opponent. Should be interesting. I'm also interested to see how Ba does when actually starting this time
