There is no point in spending big money when Every year we draw the teams that we have Gotten the past 5 years in Champions League. We are Europa League bound again! That draw Must be rigged somehow! Look at Porto's group! Instead if being easy fodder for a good pot 2,3 or 4 team they got an easy on...

I would not want just any from pot 4! Roma and Monaco are in there (Ajax guaranteed To draw one of them!). I would fancy our chances With Porto and Benfica from Pot 1 (but we will not Draw them). Lots if hard teams in Pot 2 which Includes the biggest cheating club in Europe!! Other than Juve there a...

You gotta love that. Serves those theives right! Let's here it for my boy Sneijder!!!!

The draw is on Monday and because we are unseeded we can get one of the possible seeded teams - Valencia (Spain), Ludogorets (Bulgaria), FC Salzburg (Austria), Rubin Kazan (Russia), Fiorentina (Italy), Eintracht Frankfurt (Germany), KRC Genk (Belgium), Seville (Spain), Olympique Lyon (France), Trab...

Ajax tried to sign van Ginkel from Chelsea on loan as Eriksen's replacement but their apporach was rebuffed.

OK, I predicted exactly last year what we would get so here we go: From Pot 1 - One oF: Man U, Barca, Chelsea or Bayern (Can't get Real Again!) From Pot 2 - PSG (Hardest in the pot and the return of Big Ibra) From Pot 4 - Bayer Leverkusen (Hardest in the pot) Why you ask? Platini hates us and will f...

Don't think Spurs are done yet: Erik Lamela to join Tottenham from Roma in £30million deal. I have also heard that Arsenal have inquired about Toby. Fulham is fighting with Olympiakos for Enoh but he will go to Olympiakos for the CL Football.

Saw that Spartak rumor as well. He should have gone to Norwich, would have been a lot warmer! Liverpool are a wannabe top 4 club. They are too weak with and especially soon to be without Suarez. Ericksen would be a fool to go there, Toby as well. At least Spurs have an outside chance of knocking out...

I just went over to the UEFA website to look at the current CL qualifiers and there is the possibility right now that we might be in the 2nd pot in terms of the draw. http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/newsid=1960191.html shows us at 15th in terms of coeficient points, one place ahead of ...

[quote="cdnajaxfan"]I don't know if Pot 2 or 3 matters. All I want to avoid are the top 5 seeds in pot 1, Man City in Pot 2, and in pot 4, Dortmund and Dynamo Zagreb (unless they throw games for us this time around if we pay them!). quote] Oops. Maybe I should shut my mouth. Wow, it's like I had a c...

He will do an excelent job keeping the bench warm at Barca!

He is a young midfielder from PSG. He came to us because he will never break through with all of their high priced signings and his Motehr was born in Amsterdam apparently.

Just as long as we don't get Dynamo Zagreb or Lyon again!

Hmmm...Destroying the evidence? GNK Dinamo Zagreb have parted company with coach Krunoslav Jurčić after bowing out of the UEFA Champions League with the club's heaviest-ever defeat. Dinamo hold a six-point lead in their bid for a seventh straight Croatian title. Dinamo vice-president Zdravko Mamić s...

At first I had resigned myself to being out of the CL. I thought it was defintely probabale that might happen even before the game. Then I saw the "Highlights". First, I have to think that UEFA may have been in on the Match Fixing. Maybe due to better TV rights money for Lyon over Ajax. I don't know...

I heard a rumor that he is going to Espanyol. Any truth to that?

I heard a rumor that he is going to Espanyol. Any truth to that?

Real look scary good so far today. It pains me to say anything good about Generalissimo Franco's fave bunch , but truth is what it is. We have NO chance against them. None. So we should do one of 2 extremes, IMO: 1) Throw out the young kids/B Team and give them some experience. 2) Really go at them...

philippe schreef:Lyon's striker Lisandro Lopez is out for a month and will not play the game in Amsterdam.

He kind of sucks though doesn't he? He did not impress me with all of his wasted chances in the CL the past few years.

From Sky Sports: Fulham have agreed a £10.6million deal to sign FC Twente winger Bryan Ruiz.

Speaking of Plan B, I saw that Blackburn's deal for that striker from Wolfsburg fell through. Their Plan B was El Ham from us. That may free up money/space.

I don't care about the level of our opponents, but I would have liked something more original... How's OL these days in your opinion? Do they have much of a chance against us? Not as strong as they used to be. They got raped by other teams for their players but were paid well for it (sound familiar...

Could have done much worse. Real, Lyon and Zagreb I think is kind of do-able. We need to get results against Lyon and Zagreb. Might as well put out the B squad agains Real. Special one might be banned when they fcae us though.

From Pot 1 we have a good chance of drawing an English Team. From Pot 2 we have a good chance of drawing a Spanish or French Team. I agree that Inter and Arsenal are the weakest in Pot 1. Would also like to avoid Dortmund and Napoli. I think that almost all in Pot 2 are beatable, Milan included. Tra...
