I've called us shit so many times the football gods have become confused and have lost count on how many times I've jinxed and unjinxed us.

6 Eredivisie games played and our season is over. I'm just done with Gio as coach again already, this guy makes the most stupid choices every single week.

Every single week he's making choices only a blind man with shit in his eyes would make. Fielding Kramer (back-up striker) against City and PSV is laughable, anyone who has seen him play 1 game knows that's just a fucking shit idea. Then Bilal today, my god I've seriously never seen a winger play this bad. This guy has been with us for over 3 years now and has yet to play good for an entire match, yet Gio picks him over Larsson. Larsson was subbed in for Bilal after 55 minutes and it immediately became a lot better. And then you get a penalty while 0-1 down and who do you let it take? Kramer, you're shit back-up striker who's hated by a lot of fans because he's incredibly shit, incredibly lazy and wrongfully incredibly arrogant. And of course he takes it like shit and the goalkeeper saves it. 6 games played, 6 points dropped in the Eredivisie just because of Gio's shit choices. He makes the obvious choices and we're probably top of the league with 6 played 18 points, instead it's 6 played 12 points.

His mentally challenged brother maybe. If Gio fields him against Napoli someone's getting their house egged

To be fair the CL is uninteresting as fuck until the quarter finals due to how much better the top teams are compared to the rest. Normally speaking Barcelona, Bayern, Real Madrid and Juventus just take a dump on everyone, it doesn't really get interesting until they start playing each other. PSG will probably add themselves to that list and with the way City is playing they could add themselves to that list as well but otherwise you can accurately predict who's gonna make it out of the Group Stages and who wins what match-up in the knock-out stages 9 out of 10 times.

In club football the gap between the best and the rest has been widening, making it less interesting when you know who's going to win most games.

Really there's nothing that compares to the NHL playoffs where I feel like every team can win the Stanley Cup.

Yes, previously players stayed in the country they were from. The South American and Eastern European leagues used to be much stronger. There's no way Steaua Bucharest or Red Star Belgrade would win the Champions League today. But since the 1990's the players have been migrating to the best leagues in huge numbers. Look at Serie A and Bundesliga's competitiveness the past few years, it's basically just one team dominating. I can't even imagine the 2004 Porto-Monaco final happening today.

I remember a few years back when UEFA and FIFA nearly blew their tops because English teams where doing well, literally for like 4 or so seasons it was 3 EPL teams in the semis. Sepp Blatter was choking with rage, mind you the EPL teams at the time especially United, Liverpool and Chelsea were something else, I find the EPL teams add a wild card element into the mix for the CL.

It's because the EPL has attracted a lot of investors as a result of its world wide fame which has made it competitive as hell, this is why Leicester despite having a wayward season still made a decent run in the CL, it's good anyway as it strengthens the league.

I remember the heated rivalry between Chelsea, Liverpool and Barcelona, these 3 teams just always used to clash, United that era were spectacular I hold the opinion that the team then is the strongest they've ever had even Arsenal had some good runs back then. I like how the only team to stand up to the EPL was Barcelona off the back of Messi and Ronaldinho in the same line up but it lead to some fantastic games.

If someone could just fucking kill me already that'd be great. Everything's going to shit the past 3 weeks. Jorgensen injured, Botteghin out until the new year, trashed by City, lost to a shit PSV and a newly promoted NAC Breda, a bit under 27 hours until the Napoli trashing starts. Just fucking kill me pls

He was talking about Group stages and he's spot on. Not many games worth watching there. He also Said he misses the comptetition. 

It would be interesting to see this draft thing in football sometimes. It sure would make leagues more exciting. But then again it's also great to see all these superstar teams play.
