Current Champs

England: MAN UTD
Spain: BARCELONA
Italy: AC MILAN
Holland: AJAX
France: LILLE
Germany: B DORTMUND

Champions League: BARCELONA
Europa League: PORTO


Feel free to predict the future champs. Please post here often, especially on Game-day.

Looks like we have built up a nice amount of regular posters, should be an awesome season.

As for fantasy, if Spliff ever shows up, he can reactivate the league so that i can DEFEND my title losers. If he does not show up, i will start a new one.

Once Millz shows up, i will get him to sticky this thread

    Pastore is a flop in the making.
    Nevertheless, in England: Manchester united and chelsea in a close 1st an 2nd place.
    Spain: real Madrid. They will be ready best believe
    Italy: AC Milan
    Germany: bayern Munich. Quality stopper in nauer and I believe boateng will be there best defender.
    Portugal: porto
    Champions league: real Madrid. Reach the semi final last year in Jose mourinho 1st term, 2nd term they will own it
    Scotland: rangers
    Dutch: ajax

    I hoping Jose sorts the team and makes that happen (if Arsenal don't win the CL of course)

    Leading on from the other thread: if we get a Fantasy League competition running again like last season are you lot up for upping the stakes and including a cash prize for the winner? £5 per person, winner gets the lot. Of course you don't have to pay but then you don't win the money if you come up top. Interested? Answers on a postcard.

    1. Imma need to start messing with PSG once FIFA 12 comes out
    2. How the hell we lose another player who wanted to play for us ( the player I'm speaking of is Blaise Matuidi who along with Menez just signed with PSG)
    3. My predictions:

    EPL - Chelsea (Swan song for the current club)
    La Liga - FC Barcelona
    Serie A - AC Milan
    Ligue 1 - Marseille (Wouldn't be surprised if PSG won (only reason I so high on them is because unlike the other clubs owned by arabs PSG has made smart and somewhat cheap buys)
    Eredivisie - Ajax (Depends on what happens by the end of the transfer window they still have there championship squad in tact)
    SPL - Celtic
    German Bundesliga - Bayern Munich

    United, per a report, going after Roma's Mirko Vucinic. Smh you United fans can no longer get on City's case for stockpiling strikers.

    Goalkeeper I meant to say. Good correction. Barcelona gonna be the strong ad usual. My problem with real Madrid, when they face Barcelona, they don't play with that 100% want to win attitude. When Barcelona begin stringing passes, they fold. Xavi, inuesta, messi, mainly inuesta need to be focus on. That lil ? is ? nifty.

    according to Xavi and co, he got the "BARCA DNA" whatever the hell that means. This ? fab and arsene wenger lead Arsenal to no title in 6 years

    Just to chime in on this, they want Fab (Barcelona does) to provide depth at midfield. Sure Xavi and Iniesta are 30, but they are not showing signs of slowing down. As everyone knows, soccer players are amongst the most well conditioned athletes. Xavi and Iniesta have at least 4 more productive years ahead of them. Cesc is not going to stand being a benchwarmer at his boyhood club, he a fool if he say otherwise. He's better than Afellay and Sanchez, but the aforementioned are no slouches and will push for playing time alongside Fab if he goes to Barcelona. Stay at Arsenal, stick with the consistency of getting into champions league and strive for the Carling Cup, Community Shield, Fa Cup, and the EPL title which in the premier league, you can contribute more in trying to get.

    i think ronaldo's and mourinho's ego can't take another year of bein number 2, they will be 120% motivated.

    Watch out for ManCity this year, Aguero will make the difference plus Dzeko will hopefully get back to his old form he had before he joined them

    And what's up with the fantasy league, will there be one?

    If Tevez does stay until January then that strike partnership will be unstoppable... Tevez, Aguero, Dzeko. Balotelli... they need to sign an attacking midfielder though. Fair enough, Yaya Toure's been doing the job well but I dunno, he's not that natural at it I guess.

    And smh at us not signing a striker yet, I get the feeling we'll end up with a ? one by the end of the season because we ? around too much in the transfer window
