Liverpool should really follow the Bayern mold and win it (lose final previous year win the following year) everyone else looks $hit and City seem to have a phobia of the CL

They'll probably be releasing a DVD and probably start the old bayern/spurs scarves again too but have psv/spurs now

a bus parade would in my view be a step too far though

Speak for yourself, I was hoping for happier news from Southampton 'B' last night!

England's looking as good as it has since the noughties in Europe this year.

- Liverpool have a resilience in big matches that'll pose anyone a threat.
- Spurs are that classic dark horse team that no-one expects to win it but are capable of beating anyone on the right night (you can picture them taking out at favorite somewhere)
- Jose's United you wouldn't fancy, but there's a good possibility by February they'll have a new manager and the buzz that comes with it, and the squads good enough to surprise one or two teams.
- City are genuine contenders to win it.

It's not arrogant to state that ourselves and Arsenal are among the top 5 teams capable of winning Europa aswell

English football's got good representation this year, a welcome change

, that's just the positive outlook. It's equally possible Spurs bottle the first big test, United stick with Jose and limp out, Pool are just beaten by a better team and City under perform again.

I've got a very good feeling about us & Arsenal though, especially Arsenal with the Europa king managing them. On the surface we are two of the strongest teams in it this year. The other major player is Napoli, which I fully expect us to draw at the earliest opportunity for poetic reasons

Yes Devil's Advocate you are right also in your assessment as well.

I think it's an old mindset to want the English teams to do well in Europe.

I don't want any of the other English teams to do well!

I like seeing most English clubs do well in Europe bar Liverpool because their fans are so insufferable when they win.

Always give United fans credit for not crowing after 08 final too much. Imagine the dippers

I like the CL when England has strong representation because you can practically feel UEFA loathing it, when ironically the appeal of the CL has gone down the weaker England have got down the years.

I do miss the days of Fergie's United, Jose's Chelsea & Rafa's Liverpool ruling the CL, plaguing it like the virus through the eyes of UEFA I'm sure
