re: The Official Football Thread

Bourdeux are a really good team though...they did dominate a group containing Bayern Munich and Juventus after all.....

Anyway...my tips

VfB Stuttgart - Barcelona (5-1) I don't think anyone really gives Stuttgart a chance in this one....

Olympiakos - Bordeaux (3-0) Bourdeux should have too much class with the likes of Gourcuff and co running the show.

Inter - Chelsea (3-2) Hardest game to pick, Inter may have it on paper with inside knowledge etc, but Inter do have a history of choking in Europe.

Porto - Arsenal (4-2) Should have too much class for Porto

Bayern Munich - Fiorentina (4-3) Another hard game to pick.....i think Munich will have the edge but could easily go either way

CSKA Moscow - Sevilla (3-0) CSKA don't play another competitive match until the first leg....Sevilla should be in better condition.

Lyon - Real Madrid (5-3) I give Lyon a chance.....but Madrid should go through thanks to C.Ronaldo, Kaka etc.

AC Milan - Manchester United (3-2) Hard to call seeing as neither team has been particularly impressive this season (although both sit 2nd in their respective leagues), but i see Nesta reminding us all why he's the best defender of the last decade.

I think Ac milan will win comprehensively UNLESS UNITED BUY IN THE TRANSFER WINDOW. ( which they will ) . If they do buy, its gonna be VERY interesting!. As an arsenalist I am pleased with the draw, Thank you Lord for not giving us AC Milan again lol cause they would want revenge.
I feel fiorentina have a good chance against bayern,...very good chance .

Bordeaux are like the dark horses in this seasons CL..good luck to them

4.72 over 40 metres.

walcott is probably the premier league's fastest player.

re: The Official Football Thread

Lennon is pretty quick too. But Walcott has much more skill.

But which one will you take to the World Cup ??

Think Lennon and Becks will probably go and Walcott may miss out. Or will all 3 go to the WC ??

If I was choosing two of the three, I would leave Beckham out. The others have more upside. If I was picking one to start, I would pick Walcott over Lennon every time.

I love how the EPL continues this week too. I'm 10th in the world on IKTS (out of 240,000 people) , do I dare to dream about first prize?

re: The Official Football Thread

walcott can play on both wings and up front. it would be ridiculous to leave him out over one dimensional players like beckham and lennon.

i would take SWP over lennon and beckham.

Beckham one dimensional? Out of the 4 players you mentioned (SWP, Walcott, Lennon and Beckham) he is the most unique compared to the rest

re: The Official Football Thread

Lennon, Walcot and SWP are all quite similar. Based on current form, Lennon would be my starting choice.
Then I would want to bring on a replacement that offers something different if the match plan wasnt working. If the pace and speed is not breaking down the opponent, then I would bring on Becks the crossing and deadball specialist.

No doubt the Capello will take Becks if he is fit.

re: The Official Football Thread

lol beckham is highly one dimensional, even more so considering he'll be 35. bench at best i say.

He cannot kick with his left foot, he cannot head a ball, he cannot tackle and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's all right.

ashley young can do what beckham does. only for 90 minutes.

i actually think itd be more profitable to place a few bets each week based on your predictions

re: The Official Football Thread

Ashley Young is gash. Definitely the most overrated player in England

 

[Izzay]

re: The Official Football Thread

in any case, lampard will play, so will gerrard and barry. that leaves one other space which would probably go to a fit joe cole. beckham will probably be selected in the squad... for the caps.

re: The Official Football Thread
