Retaining the cup

[in_the_top_one]

A whole article about it and no mention of Forest. Dear me!

And before anyone says it's only referring to the Champions League,
"Since the European Cup began in 1956, 11 sides have made it to consecutive finals, with the first 30 years littered with dynasties."
Who are these terrific euro-dominant sides, I wonder..?

I hope Olympiacos do these Spuds. Bouchalakis starting.

I'm going to watch Atletico v Juventus tonight. I like good defending. It would have been even more enticing if Godin and Chiellini were featuring.

Glad they drew, makes our spanking feel a bit better. Probably a fair result but spuds will kick themselves after going 2 up.

Oly played well, defending was shit. They need a colossus like Wozza in January for £50m

I fancy Bayern to win the Champions League.

Waiting on Liverpool to slip up, couple of injuries over the festive period and some bad results the nerves will jangle.

Liverpool to draw Atalanta in the last 16.

Nice to see the English clubs getting a relatively tough draw for once.

Hopefully Atletico surprise Liverpool. Simeone plays with two banks of four and has a reputation for being a master in defence. They've lost Godin but should still make life tough for Liverpool.

They'll just have to handle the atmosphere in the second-leg at Anfield.

And by atmosphere you mean their lovely fans lining the streets and throwing bottles and rocks at the team bus... Or was that someone else too..?

I hate Liverpool, but the majority of opposing sides freeze at Anfield due to the supporters (who I think are scum).

VAR seems to be their friend too.

All it needs is a goal.

In modern away goal football, keeping a clean sheet at home is the golden ticket
