At the same time, at the start of the group, most people would have probably accepted that they'd lose at the Etihad, but the other 5 games they should all have been getting something from. Away to Shakhtar and home to City were bad games to get no points from

Never said you did. Its just funny that fans of moneybags clubs like your self looking down your noses at 'hipster' clubs demise after they've achieved remarkable success with limited resources doing things a different way. Amazing how you took the bait nonetheless. |

I was actually talking post their final appearance in 2013. They've been all hype and very little substance since.
When a bad Liverpool side are knocking you out of the Europa League, it pretty much emphasises this

They did lose their manager and half their team. |

Thanks for pointing that out. Tuchel was seen as the second coming of Christ by some.

I think you need to look up the definition of hipster, because Napoli isn't that. Hoffenheim on the other hand, did you know they have a 30 year old Manager and are a really frightening team because they're from the Bundesliga?! Although they got hammered in the Qualifier stages

You acted as if you'd forgotten. Getting narky as usual when you're pulled up on something or someone mentions Man City in a non-beautiful way. Relax. |

But they have a 30 year old Manager which means they must be really good?! I saw someone post in the last round of games in this exact thread that they should be in the Group stages of the Champions League. That's hipster.

I'm engaging in a discussion, I'm well relaxed thanks. Just found it a bit strange that you thought because I criticised Napoli and Dortmund that I automatically was arguing that Man City are a better team or club than them or something. I never mentioned City so it was irrelevant bringing them into it IMO

Cheap season ticket prices is usually another marker. Aylsebury FC are hip as fook!

That's just culture tbh! I think the Hoffenheim story is remarkable and very unique however they profited from a few big teams of having a shocker season and because of the Manager's age it became the hipster story of this season. They're very average in truth so when Liverpool fans shat their pants when they were drawn together like 'oh my god it's the Hoffenheim' it was cringy stuff

Who did Nicosia play in Europe after their little trip to rural Romania but before their first group game against Real Madrid? I'll save ya Googling it and tell ya - Slavia Prague from the Czech Republic who were founded in 1892 and play in a 21,000 capacity stadium in a city of around 1.3 million.

You can't qualify unique: something is either unique or it isn't. You can't qualify average either: it's literally in the middle. Saying something is very in the middle doesn't make something more in the middle, it puts it in the same place. It makes no sense. |

What are you banging on about ffs They're a bang average side with a Leicester-esque story about the whole circumstances as they 12 months before then they played in a Relegation playoff match with some unknown 29 year old chap in charge. Edited by coyne - 07 Dec 2017 at 6:04pm |

Bloody UEFA, inserting an extra Play-Off Round AFTER three initial qualifying rounds! Still, doesn't mean A-POO-EL are any bloody use. Slavia either.
