UEFA screwed up by introducing the Europa League, there is far too many teams in it. To make interest for it they should switch it to a Tuesday and have CL games on Wed and Thurs as currently its like after the lords mayors show. Most of the teams in the CL play on a Sunday for domestic TV anyway so it wouldn't make much difference to them every second week. I cant see a 3rd tournament coming back anyway the CL is far too ahead due to 3-4 teams from certain countries being in it. I can only see it going the other way with CL being expanded and I wouldn't be surprised if it became more global with MLS and south amercian sides.

Not surprised to see Arsenal slip up. Plus Wenger made a changes, Ospina, Debuchy, Arteta was all brought in.

I probably agree with you there, I couldn't step foot back into the city for 25 years without it getting mentioned. Celtic winning the league is a team winning a 1 team league so doesn't have so much value. But Aberdeen wont keep it up all season, they will drop points against Hearts in their next game.

I think Chelsea will win but Arsenal have a banana skin. Good luck with the bet though.... It must be a mental block with City, they couldn't do it under Mancini either, but as you say with Aguero, Toure and Silva they should be doing better. Just shows you the Premier League standard isn't as high as people make out.

Harsh mate..... I still standby the opinion Buffel was a cracking player on his day. I was just mentioning to WhostheDado the other day about the last Euro game I was at 3-2 win v Porto in 2005 and Buffel was immense that game. Sebo was all heart and certainly gave his all. He wasn't Maradona but he always gave the effort.

Both Manchester clubs throwing away a lead. Not surprised about Utd's score but I thought City would get things right this season in Europe. I wouldn't be backing Arsenal or Chelsea tonight in their games.

On the other side of the coin, Aberdeen are probably peaking too early. McInnes is doing a fine job there but I cant see them sustaining it over a season. Hearts came out the blocks well also but have lost their last 2.

Man Utd drawing with PSV and City ahead against Juventus. I see Mourinho is at it again in his press conference. I would bet that Barca will be the first team to retain the CL this season.

Does nobody think Stubbs should have got it?

Probably a level up from the Scottish Championship....yet not under Warburtons Rangers. A poser who has rightly left the club. Fair play for sticking around when we needed players but betting against us???

Cant believe people thought he had talent...he was an absolute disaster. One of the worst players to wear a blue jersey.

Yup you probably are. Can you explain how you think he was right....we have seen players die on the pitch recently so for tactics to be more important than that then its a joke. Horrendous comment.

Think he is finally being found out, he sulks if he doesn't get the players he wants which says he cant manage unless he is happy. He swore at Martinez because he was second in the press conference after the game - as you say, cunt of a man...terrible manners. Martinez oozes class. Id love to see Chelsea finish outside the top 4. There is no doubt about it, the doctor issue has made him lose a lot of respect from everywhere and fair play to her, she isn't backing down. If Arsenal go their on Saturday with confidence they could give them a hiding.

Have to disagree Pete, Hughes was a nightmare.

What a start for the predictions!! Well done that man.

We get a lot of Satay for that! I do miss pies though. And welcome to the forum.

How much is a pie these days anyway? Last time I was at Ibrox a guy infront of me bought a pie at half time and he still couldn't eat it on the 65 minute mark as it was piping hot inside....we scored and the gravy run down his hands practically scalding him, I almost wet myself laughing.

I'd be distraught if West Ham lower their standards for this clown. I don't think he will sign as we brought in Jelavic. I see what you are saying though RE not being silly - financially! He must have got a large pay off.

What is going on at Chelsea though? Disastrous start. They have Arsenal next week but id fancy them to win that. 11 points behind City already, they wont catch them. City will run away with it by Feb this season.

Warburton obviously likes him as this is a long standing transfer. If he can come in and bring experience to the young crop that is there then its a good move. There is going to be a lot of games over the winter where he would probably be an asset for.

Wouldn't want any of them to come in and spoil what already looks like a good group. Im glad West Ham released Nolan, good player 5 years ago but not now. Youd imagine all those are capable of getting a deal. Adebayor can be added as he was released by Spurs. Silly guy.

If that's an off day while winning 3-0 I think we can accept that. An off day in the past 3 years would be losing 1-0 to Montrose or Stirling.

He's still an asswipe but well done to him for that hattrick.

I thought it would have been of W&W.

I would like to know how many fans would have given up the salary had they been in his shoes. Im glad its concluded and Ally remains a legend as a player for me. I will look back at his managerial time as being totally tactically inept.
