so whats the possibility of both Manchesters not qualifying?

[piggynose]

Isn´t marvalous to think that the 2 teams dominating the premier might not progress any further in this years champions league.

Can't see Basle beating Man Ure but looks like City will end up in the Europa... of course this possibly means they will win it...

Is it not time for the cricket season yet - I'm bored with the overpaid oiks and their silly game ...

[rowanwitch]

Still theres a fair bit of winter sports on Tv thats fun....

[Arksided]

Not sure about the stats but I'm confident that United will go through... as for city Who gives a toss what they do;-)

Highly unlikely that they both will fail though.

One of my all time favourite headlines, and not just because I support Rangers; it was very inventive.

I don't thank ManUre can be too blase about Basle with a defence like theirs, but I think City are doomed as Villareal will struggle to stop Napoli. That leaves Chelsea and Arsenal, and neither look like Champion's League winning material. Real, Barca, and possibly Bayern are my tips, and in that order. Nothing particularly revelatory there, but they do look streets ahead.

Man Ure? Love it so appropriate

[atrollope]

Manchester United will strengthen their defence,they will go far in the Champions League.

[nungate]

Ah yes, but can they beat Barca?

[atrollope]

Can any team beat Barcelona?...you just have to hope they have an off-day

[nungate]

It has happened - not often, they have been a bit off lately, and simply going through the motions, but you can bet your sweet patootie that they would "turn" up and make a real game of it

[rowanwitch]

But at their best Barca are so good to watch....

Anything can happen in Football and Baal (Basle) should not be underestimated as they are a decent side.
