Ok, so you're not playing but you want to pick the teams? Tell you what, just for you,

Many thanks, I'm now at level 3 on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.[/quote]
But who are you playing with?

Perhaps a separate thread for result predictions would be a good idea. It would help people that are not into result predictions but have still an interest in posting on football matters.

I regularly check new posts and twice today I came to see if anybody had posted something about today's matches but I found new predictions only

Only if it helps, personally I'm not too bothered one way or the other.

This has been mooted before. But will keep all the football in the one thread. It's only 6 or so posts so not many at all to work through.

It's a strange old thing the Champions league.
Basel doing the double over Chelsea. WTF is that about? Supposedly a team from a much lesser league.
OK Chelsea have still qualified for the next stage and I'll take that. But once again they played very poorly.

I saw that and wondered about it. First time round, Basel played very well and maybe Chelsea underestimated them. I didn't watch tonight's match, but Chelsea wouldn't have underestimated them a second time, surely? I doubt that a journey to the borders of Switzerland is the most intimidating of outings, either.

Basel brush aside many teams.

They do. It didn't help that Chelsea didn't even have one shot on goal.

Is there any chance you can get Lukaku back? Any time before the next Merseyside derby will do, thanks.

Good job done though, you're through to the next round.

Lukaku is a Belgian Death Tank. Whoever signed off his loan move wants a quiet word with themselves.

Agreed, but he did want to go and fair play to him for that. He's getting regular first team football which he wouldn't have done whilst at Chelsea. His day at the Blues will come though. He's getting some excellent experience whilst on loan so can come back a better player then if he was just sitting on the bench.
I am pretty sure he would have banged a couple in last night though,

They are a sorry tale of how quickly the worm can turn: from 'I coulda bin a contender' to six-nil whipping boys in one easy transfer.
