Pretty much the only team I didnt want to draw other than Bayern.

Can we beat City? Sure. Can we hold that over 2 legs? I'm less confident there.

Good time for an English soccer fan to be going to Moscow.

So not really too much of a big deal. I'd have enjoyed seeing United perhaps take on Bayern, they'd likely have been shredded and Tottenham would have lost to Real Madrid easily.

Oh come now, everyone knows that Real coast through the group and only turn it on when it matters.

Wooo.....you won a game in the group stage...well oooh lah dih dah!

Winning a game in the Group Stage is like winning the Caribbean Cup...nobody notices.

I know how this goes. When Spurs beat Madrid they hadn’t lost a CL game in years, but because we won they’re suddenly not the reigning and defending champions, but instead are washed up and over the hill. Don’t worry though, you had your fill of Maribor or whatever for the group and round of 16, now we’ll see if you can play against good teams.

Scottish club Inverness have named their new mascot "Lionel Nessi". No joke - here he is posing with fans and, for some reason, a couple of soda cans.

the soda cans are the sponsor. The Scottish League Cup is called the IRN-BRU CUP!

The Scottish clubs have the greatest mascots. Between that one and the Partick Thistle “sun” it’s pretty much amazing.

I think statues are a lot like the National Anthems. Nobody wants your unique take or artistic license, just make it normal.

I like my statues like I like my anthems. Littered with self-aggrandizing vocals runs.
