JemJem Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I have looked all the way back to September threads and I was surprised to see that there was no CL thread. But anyway, there is one now :) Here are my predictions as to which teams will make it to the quarters. I guess I should have done this before yesterday's matches, but my Spurs and City choices wouldn't have changed anyway. Really :) Juve-Spurs.....Spurs Basel-City......City Real M-PSG......Real M Porto-Liverpool......Liverpool Bayern-Besiktas.....Bayern Chelsea-Barca.....Chelsea Sevilla-United.....United Shahktar-Roma......Roma So, I am predicting that 5 English teams will make it to the quarters. And, my Chelsea and Real M choices are sort of surprises. Let's see what happens :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 ^My thinking on the Juve vs Spurs game is while Spurs have the advantage, Juve are incredibly savy in these situations of defend for 90mins and wait to pinch a goal as we learnt in 2015 (juve's defending at the Etihad was one of the best I've ever seen). I think Barca have enough to beat Chelsea over 2 legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmine Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 So after only the first legs complete, bar a shock its looking very like Bayern, Liverpool, RM and Barca. I'm still sticking with with my original bet, Bayern, but it really is looking incredibly open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't been hitting on all cylinders lately, and they can't expect Messi to continue to save them late in games...or can they ? I'd hate to see Madrid or Bayern win it.

Look, i am jumping the gun a bit here, things could well go different, but this looks realistic, from a neutrals point of view. Bayern, under Jupp Heynckes just look solid as a rock. Since he's returned to caretake, their record is astonishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, compared to some other clubs they get to fly a bit under the radar in Germany. That said, I'd like to see Liverpool or Barca put them to the sword.

You might see i did a bit of rewording on that post, and i'm not expecting any Liverpool fans tempting fate and posting on this!!! Messi, Ronaldo will continue to take the plaudits and the Germans quietly get the job done..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern are a very good side but are not battle hardened the way Liverpool are. BTW, if you compare Heynkes recent record as Bayern manager to Pep's, Heynkes comes out well on top.

He also achieved the treble. Terrific manager but 72yo and will be off at the end of the season.Agree on that but don't understand what you would mean by saying Bayern are not battle hardened like Liverpool!! They seem to have done very well and would have been in the final last time if they hadn't been mugged off by a dodgy ref in the semi against Real Madrid. Funny, Juve got mugged off too against Real Madrid. I don't think that was a penalty and what a call to make in injury time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Actually the mocking where you come from isn't really related to getting beat by liverpool. The timing of StevieH revelation that he isn't a scouser when I think he's been trying to allude to being one and the defeat to Liverpool is purely a coincidence. I just find it amusing that we don't have any red scousers. It seems that brummie R2D2 is a much a scouser as the rest of you. Where's wilai from then?
