The Football / Soccer Banter Thread - Part 4

BTW, these are my predictions for UCL round of 16:

City - Barcelona: Barcelona in away goals

Schalke - Madrid: Madrid easily

Milan - Atlético: Atlético for 2 goals

Olympiacos - United: Manchester for 1 goal

Galatasaray - Chelsea: Chelsea is favorite, but I can see Gala beating Chelsea

Leverkusen - PSG: Paris easily

Arsenal - Bayern: Bayern definitely for 3 goals

Zenit - Dortmund: Borussia easily

I really hope Celtic get their finger out over the winter transfer window and spend what has to spent in bringing Alfred Finbogason to Celtic Park. He'd score for in the Scottish league and meets the criteria for what is currently required up front - a prolifc finisher.

WONDERFUL to see Drogba coming back to The Bridge!
Anyway, there are some pretty amazing games to look forward to.

Manchester City vs. Barcalona
Can't really see City beat Barca over two games. I hope they will though.

Olympiacos vs. Manchester United
Could end up being a VERY close call. I think Man United will get it, but only with 1 goal or so.

AC Milan vs. Atlético Madrid
I can't really see Milan beat Atlético. They are playing AMAZING at the moment (Madrid) and Milan were lucky.

Bayer Leverkusen vs. PSG
Go Zlatan!

Galatasary vs. Chelsea
Chelsea is playing VERY bad at the moment and I think Gala will be too much for them right now.

Schalke 04 vs. Real Madrid
Definitely Real Madrid.

Zenit vs. Dortmund
I've always had a little "crush" on Dortmund, so I hope they will beat Zenit, which I think they will over two matches.

Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich
I hope for Bayern, but it could end up being a very close call if Arsenal plays at their top level.

Luis Aragonés just retired from football coaching.. I think Tottenham will hire Glenn Hoddle for coaching

No, he didn't, it was a misunderstanding.

Hell be on a mega wage now I reckon, but worth every penny. Right now, he is the best player in the world; forget Messi, forget Ronaldo.

Does he still whine and bite like a little girl?

So dissapointed that Ajax only got 25 million Euros for him
They could have asked much much more

I see Luis Suarez at Real Madrid, sorry Payo but this is 'puro teatro'

Yes, if Real will give 100 million for Liverpool

All is well that ends well We started poorly looking bereft of confidence, it took about 30 mins for us to find any kind of rhythm. Adebayor played like he had a chip on his shoulder moaning at Lamela much of the time. Soldado was shocking with the only ones really threatening being Eriksen, Sigurdsson and Rose. The team looked a little unsure as to how to play and the formation seems weak and off balance with the players available in a 4-4-2.

Suarez wage is a win-win situation for LFC, if he stays it's uber positive to the team and if he leaves he will leave a Bale-esque fee
