Yes, we can leapfrog them, Atalanta and Monaco with a win tomorrow. Top 8 gets easier.
Atalanta also faces Barca in their last match, so points will be dropped either way.

Also realized Villa is an English team, so also good for coefficients as well.
We can’t get the 5th cl place can we ؟

Why not?
If we win our game in hand, we're still just 3 points away from Ladri (5th place) with 17 more games to be played.

Gimenez might not be one of my favorite picks for striker but if he comes here I'm gonna try my best to be a glass half full type of person

If anyone needs some assistance in hyping themselves up, check out this very informative video about him:

Lapapdula is Gimenez in disguise?

Bologna already losing against Dortmund. This is a disaster for a italian national coefficient. Losing against the direct rivals.. i know they cannot qualify for next stage, but you cannot screw up the whole league ...

Bah... putting any faith in Baloney is like putting on a bulletproof vest and standing in front of a tank cannon..

Fecking useless club.

Jonathan David is right there…
It's crazy that we're not seemingly interested in him...

That said I'm not following any other rumours, does he have any other suitors?

He seems like an obvious gamble, all transfers are gambles.

£40mil for Giminez or David for way way less, is surely the sort of transfer Gerry would sign off on more?

Oh, I've become very aware of this backstory. My office has a guy from Providence who is quite proud of it and there are plenty of Georgetown folk here, there is a lot of back-and-forth, they are going to both games home-and-away.

I have to say, Cooley was a very impressive guy. He told me that Georgetown is going to win a national championship. I don't think he meant this year, of course, but he is not shy about what he expects.

Being a Providence fan you gotta love Rick Pitino then, right? Him coaching at St. Johns, does he get a frosty reception too? Or just Cooley?
Cooley is very good at public relations and recruiting but he promised the same thing at Providence. He did re-surrect a dying program with us and made multiple NCAA Tournament appearances that we had missed for many years and produced an NBA player in Kris Dunn and multiple pros in European Leagues.

Pitino is in a league by himself, an hall of famer that in his second season at PC took us to the Final Four, a team led by Billy Donovan that before his arrival was a bench player and thought of transfering. Donovan was not fast or tall but a great passer and shooter that as a coach went on to win two National Championships with Florida, won NBA coach of the year in 2020 at Oklahoma City and is now coaching the Chicago Bulls. The dream of many PC fans was that Billy would coach here before retiring.

Pitino was the most loved and the most hated by PC fans because in May of 87 he signed a new 5 year contract to stay here making the fans extremely happy but two months later in July signed with the New York Knicks saying that he would have stayed with us but New York was his dream job. I was devastated at the news at the time but now hoped that Pitino would replace Cooley. However we didn't offer because as a Catholic school run by Dominican monks they were leery of hiring someone that had been a part of sexual scandals, including banging some young girl on a pool table, when Rick coached at Louiville. The president of St John's, also a monk, had moved there from PC and he had no problem hiring Pitino who not surprisingly has done a tremendous job there.

I told you he has serious psycological problems. His family is falling apart. He is also 35 years old. I want to be optimistic about this transfer as he can hardly do worse than Emerson Royal, and he has tons of experience as well as winning mentality, but I also have no expectations.

Pavidis hattrick against Barca.
Were we not interested in him over the summer?

Loan with option to buy?

we are letting him go for free. Just to remove him from the list and get rid of his salary. I just dont understand why we excercise his contract extension this summer and gave him shirt no 9!!!!

Lol. Dortmund reached the CL final last season.
No way Bologna holds a candle to them.

Lille losing is a great thing for us. As well as Barca losing as they are playing Atalanta in the next round, so one between the 2 will not have more than 15 points at the end!
