Didn't even qualify through the league and the first holders to go out in the group stage.

Chelsea - Officially the Worst Champions League Winners Ever

But, but, but ... the holders must automatically qualify so they can defend their title, no?
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Chelsea fully deserved to get knocked out. I have said all along that defending champions shouldn't get the free ticket to the following season's competition. Chelsea have just shown why.

Yes, its not fair. Chelsea should complain to uefa and ask if they can take the place of one of the worst group runner-up, and that team takes Chelsea's slot in the Europa League.
I'm sure it must have crossed Roman's mind..grease a few palms

Right after City became the English team with the lowest tally in the group stages. Of all time.

And for all the "what a tough group they hand" handwringing, the fact of the matter is their squad was nearly as expensive to assemble as Real's for fudge sake. Yeah, it's only their second season in the competition, but they have a team with 4 players who have already won the CL (Maicon, Balotelli, Tevez and Yaya), a manager who has previously won the CL and a load more players with 15+ CL appearances before even signing for the club. We got to the quarters in our first year and we've never ever made a £20m signing, City are capable of pulling 2 or 3 £20m signings off the bench.

Kilmarnock manager Kenny Shiels may field Manuel Pascali against Celtic, despite the fact that the defender has not yet completed a suspension.

Pascali was given a two-match ban following a red card against St Johnstone on 24 November.

The Italian was dismissed early in that match and Killie have played once since facing Saints.

"According to my mathematics, Manuel Pascali has served two full games," said Shiels.

The Kilmarnock boss added: "He played for the first three minutes and got sent off against St Johnstone, which lasted 93 minutes.

"So, he has completed 90 minutes against St Johnstone and he missed last Saturday, so he will definitely be in the squad - if not starting.

"I think technically I'm right so I'll play him and then see where that takes us."

Shiels was served with two separate notices of complaint from the Scottish FA, with the second relating to his criticism of Stevie O'Reilly's decision to send off Pascali against St Johnstone.

Celtic visit Rugby Park on Saturday.

Celtic's income from the Champions League will be £21m+, a record in any European season for Celtic and a 40% turnover boost.

While its good to see a Scottish side do well in Europe again, its a shame that Celtic get this financial boost in one of the most competitive Scottish seasons since Fergie's days at Aberdeen.

Fanboys in distress - would he beat those stats now before December 31st so they can all tweet about it? :)

Looks like hes only going to miss 1 week. Will more than likely break the record. GOAT.

Saudi Sportswashing Machine XI v Bordeaux: Elliot, Tavernier, Williamson, Perch, Ferguson; Bigirimana, Abeid; Ranger, Marveaux, Sa Ameobi; Sh Ameobi

Liverpool XI v Udinese: Reina, Johnson, Enrique, Carragher, Skrtel, Henderson, Sahin, Allen, Suso, Downing, Suarez

Saudi Sportswashing Machine really want that second place. :lol:
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

As it stands at HT:

GroupWinnerRunner Up
AAnzhiLiverpool
BViktoria PlzenAtletico Madrid
CFenerbacheMönchengladbach
DBordeauxSaudi Sportswashing Machine
ESteauaStuttgart
FDniproNapoli

Udinese 0-1 Liverpool
Young Boys 1-1 Anzhi

A draw for Anzhi is enough to clinch first place

Hapoel Tel Aviv 0-0 Académica Coimbra
Viktoria Plzen 1-0 Atlético Madrid

Atletico need at least a draw to regain top spot

AEL Limassol 1-0 Marseille
Fenerbahçe 0-2 Borussia M'gladbach

Bordeaux 1-0 Saudi Sportswashing Machine
Marítimo 1-0 Club Brugge

Saudi Sportswashing Machine have to win to finish top

Stuttgart 0-1 Molde
FC København 0-0 Steaua Bucuresti

An FCK goal would put them in second place instead of Stuttgart

Dnipro 2-0 AIK
Napoli 1-2 PSV
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

I'm thinking second place won't be too bad after all.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Benatia, who we've been loosely linked to, on for Udinese.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Steaua have had a player sent off. If FCK can score, Stuttgart will have to score twice to go through.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Young Boys take the lead.

Current table:

1 Liverpool 10
2 Anzhi 10
3 Young Boys 10
4 Udinese 4
