Nice I cant wait to buy it.

ESPN comments ftw. This dude owned a Man City fan lol

Quote:

Bayern arent arrogant at all. no team in the bundesliga is especially with the deutsche meister curse which is who ever ends up winning the bundesliga, the following year they almost always fight for relegation.. and yes, bayern are yet to face your man city boys but they have faced rossi, nilmar, and valerjo and got a 2-0 AT villareal. your team could barely break down napoli's 3-4-3 with all your "attacking players"
and as a city fan calling any team arrogant makes you a d0uche because ever since man city has tried to buy their way to glory, you all have popped out of no where talking smack about other teams.. here's a reminder on how you suck, check your trophy cabinet... if you guys even have one
MIA SAN MIA

:roflpuke2: ManShitty!

god I cant wait til their dream team falls flat on its face and shits their pants in the champs against Munich.

Same! I cant believe FSC is showing Man U vs Basel instead though :mad:

MAN U GUYS ARE NUTZ

(sorry that joke sucked)

I hope Bayern Munich absolutely SH*T all over ManCity.

:mad: Arsenal on tape delay until Thursday.

I'm sooo tempted to try and put a bet for a 2-1 Viktoria Plzen upset over AC Milan just for ***** and giggles hahaha

Predictions for tomorrow:
Bayern 3-1 Man City
Napoli 1-1 Villareal
Moscow 0-1 Inter Milan
Trabzonspor 0-4 Lille
Man United 3-2 FC Basel (just because Fergie has basically 8/11 of the first team missing due to injury...and the defense looks wrecked)
Otewho? 0-5 Benfica
Lyon 0-0 Zagreb
Real Madrid 5-2 Ajax

and for Wednesday
Leverkusen 1-1 Genk
Valencia 2-3 Chelsea
Arsenal 2-0 Olympiakos
Marseille 1-3 Dortmund
Zenit 2-2 Porto
Donetsk 4-1 Apoel
AC Milan 1-2 Viktoria Plzen (MAKE ME MONEY!!)
BATE 0-9 Barcelona

Oh, and Neil Warnock made me smile today. Thanks for nothing, Armand.

NESN shows their matches live, usually. Search them (I do on DirecTV).

The funny thing is how Man City "fans" all claim Bayern to be jealous of them because they have money. LOL. They also call Bayern arrogant. How is Bayern arrogant when Heynckes said "Man City is the best team in Europe" before their match? He is showing respect, even though we all know he doesnt truly belive that. All you see from Man City is how they are better than Bayern are are obviously going to win. :bowrofl:

As for upsets, I think Basel stun United at home, and Inter fall to CSKA. We will have a difficult match against Valencia in Spain. Valencia are fast, young and dynamic. If AVB doesn't start David Luiz alongside JT, Valencia may tear us apart. I sincerely hope our back four consists of Bosingwa, David Luiz, JT, and Ashley Cole. Ivanovic and Alex will be torched by Soldado, in my opinion.

Bayern have WAY more money than City, so this claim is unsubstantiated.

Forbes list as of 2010:

1. Manchester United (total value: $1.835 billion)
2. Real Madrid ($1.3 billion)
3. Arsenal ($1.1 billion)
4. Barcelona ($1 billion)
5. Bayern Munich ($990 million)
6. Liverpool ($822m)
7. AC Milan ($800m)
8. Juventus ($656m)
9. Chelsea ($646m)
10. Inter Milan ($413m)
11. Schalke 04 ($384m)
12. Tottenham Hotspur ($372m)
13. Lyon ($333m)
14. Hamburg ($329m)
15. Roma ($308m)
16. Werder Bremen ($274m)
17. Marseille ($262m)
18. Borussia Dortmund ($261m)
19. Manchester City ($258m)
20. Newcastle United ($198m)

City have about 22 domestic titles, 14 FA Cups, and 5 European titles to catch up to before they bang on about a club like Bayern being jealous of them.

I can understand confidence, but have some respect and humility. Have respect for your opponent and what they've accomplished throughout their history. We don't like United, but we know what United have been about for the past 20 years. Same with Arsenal, and Liverpool.

There is a chance City can win the match, no doubt about that quality. But Bayern could still have the last laugh if they lift the trophy on their home ground come May. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
