Champions League Thread 2016/2017

Champions League = European. They've rebadged it, you fool.

And I've been going to home matches for 20 years and not once has that ever happened. But yes, that it also belmontish.

[Sanguine]

So winning your CL group potentially gets you a tie with City, Bayern or Real.

Tbf, the teams that are currently top of those groups aren't too shabby - Barca, Athletico & B. Dortmund.

[LWJ]

Out of interest, why are Spurs out?

1 game to play, 3 points behind 2nd, would need a swing in GD but possible.. right?

Or is it down to H2H record?

[Hendo]

H2H record first.

But I said Chelsea have a better pedigree in the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE than Liverpool or Spurs. How difficult is that to understand, you 'fool'.

And yes, that does happen at half time, especially in the East/North Stands. I assumed you're a West stander.....

You missed the Alan Partridge reference, Kes.

Anyway, I was referring to all European competitions, hence including West Ham in my original post, who went out very early on in the Europa League. You decided to mention only the "Champions League" brand because it suits you and your need to feel like Chelsea are better than other clubs.

And no, I'm an East Stander and I can't recall it happening. Didn't realise you attended so many Reading matches. Besides, I was agreeing with you, it is belmontish. Next.

Presumably Kes doesn't count Chelsea's title in 1954/55 as being part of the club's history because it was before the top division was re-branded.

Chelsea premier league titles = 4
Liverpool premier league titles = 0

I don't know why you're arguing against facts.

[genome]

Liverpool top division titles = 18
Chelsea top division titles = 5

I don't know why you're arguing against facts.

But you were the one trying to correct me in the first place and you were wrong. Facking ell.

[genome]

You're struggling with this aren't you?

In fact, you were the one who brought up Champions League pedigree to a post that wasn't even directed at you, gr8 m8. I never mentioned it was solely about the Champions League. Why would I cite West Ham otherwise?

[No Fixed Abode]

Give it up m8. You're just embarrassing yourself.

You know Kes has got nothing when he trots that one out

More for you.

[stealthpapes]

so is it belmontish, if Readings fans give a team like Chelsea, United or Arsenal stick when they lose?

yes.

[genome]

Papes I've already said that twice, so don't bother.
