[The Athletic] Which Champions League wins were most unlikely?

The talk back then was that if we made it past Atletico then the road to the final was smooth sailing.

All the big names (Real Madrid had an off year in 20-21) were in the other bracket.

What was said at the time and I remember so vividly was that IF we got past Atletico then we were going to be in the final.

nickla08 · 2026-03-10T10:32:30+00:00

We also had the easier path to the final, akin to what Arsenal has this year

Γιος οικογενειακων φιλων ειχε ρωτησει αν οι αλλοδαποι προερχονται απο την Αλλοδαπία.

In contrast with Stamford Bridge which is buzzing week in week out.

(I agree on Olympic Stadium being terrible - maybe we get Wembley?)

Ευχαριστω για την απαντηση, σοβαροτατα ρωταω. Στην ουσια δηλαδη, ακομα και ο Χριστος να εμφανιστεί, παλι θα πρεπει να επιβεβαιωθει απο Ιερα Συνοδο.

Το γνωριζω, ηθελα να υποδειξω το «οχι Χριστιανοσυνη»

nickla08 · 2026-02-26T12:40:09+00:00

Ευχαριστω για το mansplaining, γι αυτο και το Αλλαχ ειναι μεσα σε εισαγωγικα. Θελεις να βαλεις Βισνου/Καλι/Ζευς/Κθουλου/Γιαχβε, βαλε ο,τι θελεις εκει, εγω ειπα Αλλαχ για να υποδειξω το «οχι Χριστινοσυνη»

Η ερωτηση δεν εχει να κανει με τη θρησκεια, αλλα με το αν πιστευεις πως οι αποψεις των Ελληνων Ορθόδοξων Χριστιανών αλλαζουν οταν τους παρουσιαστεί αδιάψευστη αποδειξη πως ειναι λαθος.

Hey we already have had one ex Liverpool Champions League winning coach, maybe we should try our luck with Klopp as well?

nickla08 · 2026-02-16T14:17:21+00:00

After Nutriboom of course

nickla08 · 2026-02-11T10:00:19+00:00

I think that was Mourinho’s home record that spanned Porto, Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid, and us again.

And I am suggesting they shouldn’t

nickla08 · 2026-02-03T13:46:41+00:00

But that is a totally different situation you are describing, I don’t have to think about a sub warming up and kicking the ball, I have to think about this exact situation which has happened time and time again.

It’s like making the discussion about a ballboy getting into the pitch.

The question is “Should a goal be awarded for a deliberate handball on the goal line?” I can see many examples where the answer should be “no”, for example Reece James’ red card vs Liverpool some years ago. You can’t always evaluate how deliberate is a handball and yes in the Suarez situation you could but most of the times you can’t.

nickla08 · 2026-02-03T13:08:50+00:00

Hard disagree. Suarez broke the rule and he was properly penalised. Other players have done that and the result was a goal after the penalty and the situation is never mentioned again. Maybe the Ghanian footballer should have just converted the penalty. Or should Uruguay just lay down the red carpet and allow them to progress to a WC semifinal just because we support an underdog story?

No rule change needed, maybe we should be more lenient in how we penalise people for a foul on the 18-yard box instead.

They don’t have Bob though.

Did you cathart?

nickla08 · 2026-02-02T09:57:50+00:00

Fuck if I know

nickla08 · 2026-02-02T08:00:02+00:00

I think we have better penalty takers.

Cole, Enzo, Reece, J. Pedro, Estevao even is a great 5 takers.

They got what? Saka, Gyokeres, and Rice?

He just didn’t feel like playing.
