away against Zurich


the last place of swiss league



well even then, i can see PSV losing, especially if you got no one to score goals, with Luuk de Jong still being injured


probably midfielder Xavi again up forward, or Ruud's bestie/prodigy Bakayoko



Midtjylland - Feyenoord, not sure there either, Feyenoord should win but going on current form as well, lols and that with many new signings

[Nicky91]

likely starting 11 PSV

Benitez, Teze, Ramalho, Obispo, Max, Sangaré, Xavi Simons, Gutierrez, El Ghazi, Vertessen, Gakpo


hmmm

LOL Vertessen, even more hopeless than Bakayoko :laugh3: :laugh3:



thank god John de Jong has been sacked here, him and his lacklustre scout network, hopefully his replacement (whoever it'll be) has a wider scout network, and dares to look wider than his nose is long (rather than coward John with only bringing back has beens like Luuk de Jong)


and why oh why Ramalho and not Branthwaite :conf: Branthwaite in a better form but yeah ofc Ramalho more european cup experience :rolleyes:

[Nicky91]

tough one for Union Saint-Gillioise too, against europa veterans SC Braga especially away



Dnipro vs Vaduz also might be a interesting one, i mean Vaduz aren't as bad as you might think though




Anderlecht vs West Ham

West Ham definitely can win this easily but the dangers here are to not underestimate Anderlecht, they've worked hard getting back into european cup football lately after a little form crisis



tough one for Hearts, Fiorentina are very strong, quite a consistent left side of table team in Serie A (with just a sporadic few years of form crisis and ending bit lower)



AS Roma vs Real Betis: conference league reigning champion vs a decent mid table team from La Liga, very ambitious team too 2nd one from Sevilla

Erling Haaland is earning close to £900,000 per week at Manchester City, Sportsmail has learned.

The Norwegian superstar, who has set the Premier League on fire since his £51m arrival from Borussia Dortmund, is picking up the staggering sum which makes him by far the highest-paid player in the country.

It is understood that the 22-year-old gets a basic salary which is in line with the other higher earners at the Etihad Stadium. However, a series of substantial, almost-guaranteed bonuses see his weekly wage surge beyond the £850,000 mark.

I'm a few hours late, but I just want to say that the advert about stopping online abuse on BT Sport made me laugh for two reasons.

1. It was about as subtle as a brick, with a cheesy filming technique to boot.

2. And probably my biggest issue with the Advert is that isn't this the same BT Sport that joined Sky Sports and every other Media outlet in encouraging hatred towards Harry Maguire & Paul Pogba? So it's like the Pot calling Kettle black as they say.

Rant over.

Arsenal - PSV this week

[Nicky91]

Luuk de Jong, Noni Madueke, Mauro Junior are all available again for PSV against Arsenal

[Nicky91]

possible line ups for tonight


Arsenal’s pursuit of their fifth Europa League knock-out appearance on the trot continues on Thursday as PSV Eindhoven touch down in London for a top-table Group A six-pointer.

Despite being forced to play catch-up after UK national mourning initially pushed back their encounter against the Dutch giants, the Gunners head into proceedings as sovereign leaders.

Bukayo Saka’s first-half strike propelled Mikel Arteta’s high-flying crew to a 1-0 victory away to Bodo/Glimt last week, preserving their 100% three-game Europa League start.

The England international was decisive again at the weekend as his top-class finish late in the first half helped Arsenal beat Leeds United 1-0 at Elland Road and extend their lead at the Premier League summit.

Patrick Bamford’s wayward spot-kick came in handy to enable the London heavyweights to go four points clear of second-placed Manchester City, setting them up nicely for this pivotal Europa League fixture.

A victory at the Emirates Stadium, where they’ve won all six competitive matches this season, would catapult the Gunners into the Europa League knock-outs with two games to spare.

However, PSV should not be underestimated following their eye-catching three-match Group A start (W2, D1), with Ruud van Nistelrooy’s team also vying for the top spot.

Since drawing 1-1 with Bodo/Glimt on day one, the Farmers have strung together back-to-back Europa League triumphs, netting precisely five goals on each occasion.

With only two points separating the sides ahead of the kick-off, this encounter has a crucial bearing on the top-place Group A run-in, promising plenty of excitement for neutrals.

Match Preview
Arsenal

Looking at Arsenal’s bid to avenge a three-game winless European streak against PSV (D2, L1), this showdown could not have been timed any better if you ask Arteta.

Not even a power cut at Elland Road on Sunday stopped the Gunners and Arteta from wild celebrations after amassing an eye-catching 27 of the first 30 available points in the Premier League this season.

Translating their formidable domestic form to the European front is a must if Arsenal are to build on their all-time eight-game home record against Dutch opponents in UEFA-sanctioned fixtures (W3, D4, L1).

PSV Eindhoven

PSV’s dismal 3-0 defeat away to Eredivisie minnows Cambuur at the start of October was a wake-up call for van Nistelrooy’s men, who have since won four competitive games on the spin by an aggregate score of 17-2.

Inspired by former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain prodigy Xavi Simons, the Dutch big guns followed a 5-0 trouncing of Zurich in the previous Europa League round with an overwhelming 6-1 win over Utrecht at the weekend.

A string of jaw-dropping performances by PSV bodes well for their effort to defy their underwhelming recent European record away to English adversaries, as they’ve only won once in their 11 previous visits to the country (D4, L6).

Arsenal vs PSV Eindhoven Potential Line-ups
Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Matt Turner; Ben White, Rob Holding, Gabriel Magalhaes, Kieran Tierney; Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey; Bukayo Saka, Fabio Vieira, Gabriel Martinelli; Eddie Nketiah.

PSV Eindhoven (4-2-3-1): Walter Benitez; Philipp Mwene, Andre Ramalho, Armando Obispo, Philipp Max; Ibrahim Sangare, Erick Gutierrez; Xavi Simons, Joey Veerman, Cody Gakpo; Guus Til.

How to Watch?
For all die-hard Gunners supporters, you can watch Arsenal games on TV, including Thursday’s clash against PSV.

Arsenal vs PSV Eindhoven Preview
If there was a time you could’ve doubted Arsenal’s ability to perform consistently at the highest level, those days are long gone.

Arteta’s men have excelled on all fronts this season and we expect them to carry on with their stellar form by sending PSV to the Europa League play-offs.

But this won’t be another day in the office for the Gunners as we can help but back the visitors to score at least once.

there are no real shocks apart from Brugge instead of Atletico then :suspect: how does Brugge suddenly become this good, shady?



Napoli, Liverpool always going to qualify, Ajax likely 3rd and Rangers chanceless 4th



group of deaths

Bayern Munich and the rising comeback of Inter Milan to top form were Barca's only downfall and there is no shame about that though


Juve's exit more thanks to PSG's worldclass stars and Benfica's super streak being their bad luck


Man City and Dortmund showing they got more quality than Sevilla also no real surprise, can see Sevilla being dark horses for europa league i think, since they got quite some experience there

Man Utd won't win the europa league, same goes for Barcelona they'll crash out early on, more like thinking they're too good for EL



i'd say based on experience Sevilla, Shakhtar are the ones to beat on paper

[Nicky91]

as for conference league


hmmm difficult one


West Ham maybe?

Fiorentina maybe?

AS Roma maybe should they end up 3rd in EL, strong chances to defend their title? although they got good chances for 2nd there still too between them and Ludogorets


one of SC Braga or Union Berlin deffo a tough opponent for both knockout phase sides


Sheriff normally should make conference league knockout, better not choke at home against Omonia i beg you


Nantes or Qarabag, i think Nantes has it easier away against Olympiakos rather than Qarabag at home against Freiburg, Qarabag are the azeri top team, bags of experience too in loads of qualifying rounds of CL, EL, Nantes are quite the outsiders, they play decently, and whenever they really want it, they get the job done so never underestimate this squad, also nice to see a club with such history being back onto old form kinda



Group H is very open still

Monaco can still be 1st but also 3rd or even 4th

Ferencvaros already qualified but you'd want to be 1st i reckon, to avoid a earlier inbetween playoff round


and on paper for conference league, both Monaco, Trabzonspor would definitely up the quality of their knockout phase, Red Star also not a team to underestimate though i think

when you consider the money on the pitch for PSG they were awful. That is the worst i have ever seen them play

let's not get in denial all and face it, Bayern are a pretty good team, even without a star like Lewandowski

Choupo-Moting is a very nice late blossomer of a goalscorer



also Bayern having 4 french players while PSG barely has 1 in the team's starting 11 (Mbappe and first half his 16 yr old replacement), PSG are an insult for homegrown talent

The reffing had been rubbish again
In the first half their dreadlocked midfielder was pulling a Liverpool player back for about 5 seconds right in front of the ref who did nothing

Then that was a definite penalty for a ridiculous push on Nunez

Was more like a Champions league night than a Europa match :dance::dance:

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Europa League last-16 draw in full
Union Berlin v Union Saint-Gilloise

Sevilla v Fenerbahce

Juventus v Freiburg

Bayer Leverkusen v Ferencvaros

Sporting Lisbon v Arsenal

Manchester United v Real Betis

Roma v Real Sociedad

Shakhtar Donetsk v Feyenoord

The first leg of all eight ties will be played on 9 March, with the second legs on 16 March.

[Nicky91]

Juventus, Man United, Sevilla i'd say are the 3 contenders here


---------------------------
Conference league last 16

Lazio - AZ

AEK Larnaca - West Ham United

Fiorentina - Sivasspor

Lech Poznan - Djurgardens

Basel - Slovan Bratislava

Sheriff - Nice

Anderlecht - Villarreal

AA Gent - Basaksehir



Villarreal a top contender over there, West Ham too i guess


first matches on 7th 9th March, returns on 15th and 16th March.

[Nicky91]

one thing is certain, we will get two new finalists for the second edition Conference league as both AS Roma and Feyenoord are in europa league last 16 now

Interesting piece of writing off the t’internet

:::

Mudryk was caught liking comments on social media criticizing Cucerella for not passing the ball enough to him a few matches ago.

Basicaly blaming Cucurella for his poor from.

His Ukrainian Club owner/coach had also made comments that I suspect Potter may have not liked.

Maybe these things have contributed to him not playing much during the past 2 matches and of course, he hasn't really played well since he arrived there...but given his price tag, I would be surprise if Pulisic continue to be picked ahead of Mudryk

I know it sounds ridiculous to say atm, even being in the quarters of CL, but both times we won the CL our domestic form was bad, and/or below average. So that could be a good omen.

Last time we won the CL we barely scrapped 4th. The first time we won in 2012 we didn't even get top 4. Like i say, it would still take something truly epic from Chelsea to win the CL this season. But, stranger things have happened in football.

I read somewhere that Chelsea were the only club who twice sacked managers and then went onto win the CL on both occasions..

Don’t know if that’s accurate though

The sporting keeper is a complete headcase .. he’s involved in all the incidents yet nothings really happened .. he’s just another cheating player

In fact when Martinelli was booked unjustly the keeper had just taken Ben White out but wasn’t seen by the ref ..

Then just then he claimed he was injured in a collision yet replays showed zero contact from Nelson

Just expanding on my outlandish theory ..
My beloved but sadly mediocre Barca have beaten Real Madrid TWICE in the last three weeks !!
Once at their place and the other game we beat them 3:1 at a neutral ground …

Then we have Liverpool who have shown last week that if they click they can wipe any team off the pitch .. plus they will have to react to that poor defeat at the weekend ..

Everyone saying it will take something really special and yet it’s less than 24 hours since we saw Haaland score 5 goals in 35 minutes equalling Messi’s record.
