They already have. Valencia is falling apart and Sevilla and Villarreal are not consistent enough to put pressure on them. I think they'll finish 3rd with 10 points ahead of whoever will be 4th.
I'd definitely agree that City, PSG, Bayern and Barca are the big 4, but City just seem a level above to me. The biggest thing going against them right now is probably their rather lackluster CL record in recent years.
putting city in a completely different tier to a barca that is undefeated in league in feb? that's daft. city might be better on their day but in the larger picture, it's 50-50.
Man City are very good, but not totally comfortable on the ball when put under pressure. Liverpool exposed this in the league, and even teams like Napoli and Shakhtar had some joy doing the same. As a neutral spectator, I really want to see a tie in the next round between Man City and either Liverpool or Spurs. It would be great to watch.
They've lost more games than us this season so I don't see the point. There are many teams who could beat them. Liverpool on a good day, Real, Jupp's Bayern are my first picks based on the style. If they get lucky, yes, they can do it. Ffs, they are playing Basel of all teams. But a tier above the rest? hard to imagine.
Also, remember how lucky they've been, 90+ min goals, lucky rebounds etc. They could've lost much more.
In short: Site has been functioning great and chat add-on (which is also paid) is also holding up. No crashes in recent year.
Having said that, forum itself barely makes anything through adsense. 15USD per month is pathetic and not enough for up-keep.
And if we can cover the server ourselves I would best take ads altogether.
Price of the hosting company went up significantly and I would appreciate donations: It's time to cover the server for the next 6 months.
