Re: Tonight's football thread
Are you really taking that much from beating a team with nothing to play for? They'd topped the group..

Ultimately we both got the same thing but your exit is a lot more embarrassing.

A loser is a loser.... it's only the City fans arguing who is the best loser. That speaks volumes about our respective clubs.

Don't forget we won 3 and drew 1... in our first outing in the Champions League... how many teams do you know that haven't qualified or even won the group with 10 points? Many teams this year won the group on 9 points!!! I for one am happy with what we achieved and it's all progression... barca, real, inter etc are all happy we have been dropped into Europa, the last team they would want is us as the "all mighty" teams will see us as the bannana skin club...
Lets just wait till next year eh? :wink:

You went out, we went out. End of story.
It's a bit small time to start arguing otherwise. You're not small time, are you Danbert?
Re: Tonight's football thread
From a proud Yorkshireman, just face it Danbert both manc's clubs did crap but are gutted to have only cockneys in the comp.
Northern clubs for me any day.

It doesn't look like Gary Neville will be getting a Christmas card from Andre Villas-Boas this year :D

City are miles better than United and have bin since we won the fa cup last year. We had a much harder group and its not our fault that we didnt get enough points to get through - its unfiar that two teams got more points than us

Wins make points and points make prizes.
You didn't get enough wins so you were short on points so no prizes.
SIMPLES

EH? How many teams have suddenly had hundreds of millions pumped into them and gone out and bought many players with CL and even winning the CL experience... City are almost unique in world football with the millions suddenly pumped in.. even chelsea already had a solid footing, decent team when Roman pumped his millions in... city were a backwater team... then spent hundreds of millions on top class players so you'd expect qualification...
Not qualifying was an embarrassment for both clubs.
