Couldnā€™t really care if it might happen, it might focus minds higher up and Iā€™d rather it happen then than against someone like Stoke.

Also itā€™s 11m for progression.

Out of the Top8 6 teams made it to the quarter final. The other two crashed out against PSG and Real Madrid.

Pretty sure it was similar last year.

Another proof that you donā€™t need 36 teams in this competition.

I was about to say, we get PSG and they get bloody Sporting. Oh well, letā€™s see how Slotā€™s love for PSG translates into a performance against them.

Iā€™ve just seen Eddie Howe putting ā€˜spinā€™ on a 7-2 thrashing. He should be a politician.

2 out of 8 is not so bad considering you expect RM, Barcelona, Bayern and PSG to take 4 of the places. 3 of the English teams were knocked out by one of those too. The EPL strength is meant to be in depth, not that they are all better than the top teams across Europe, and that was demonstrated by number of teams in the last 16. However ā€¦ :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: ā€¦ the manner in which the teams who got knocked out at this stage is relevant. They were all tonked by the opposition.

Very glad that Cheaty are out, the fuckers. And we, despite all our problems this season, are among the last remaining eight teams in the CL. Not bad, not bad at all. :heart_eyes:
