No but if they play like they did vs city, they win imo. Woolwich are shattered and out of form. Atletico are also out of form but their ceiling just isn’t as high.
They are fourth in La Liga. They lost a final to Sociedad. This is not a team I reliably trust to beat any English team. Atletico have already lost to Woolwich and Liverpool this season.
They CAN win 100% but there are people very over confident about it on here imo. Atletico were bloody awful against us aside from Kinsky’s errors, and we are fucking dreadful.
Will the Woolwich fans be wanting their side to lose in order to see us relegated, that is the question...

It’s a coping strategy; why can’t we be allowed to have one ?
Actually really pissed off that the draw conspired to put Bayern and PSG together in the semi's, as looking at Woolwich having to beat one of them in the semi and then the other in the final I'd be a lot more confident in them bottling the CL than I am that they won't out-Stoke Atletico and then skank a win in a one off game against whoever wins through between PSG/BM.
A truly horrible possibly; thanks for planting that seed in my brain .
You’re absolutely allowed to have one but I have a feeling some people are gonna be a bit disappointed in Atletico after all this is done. They are very far from the absolute monster Simeone led years ago. A shadow of it.
They aren’t even very defensive anymore. Barcelona (who are tragic defensively) have conceded 7 less La liga goals. They are also missing Barrios who has been sensational this season in midfield.
Woolwich are nothing short of average currently, but so are Atletico.
Their draw has been disgusting. In fairness it’s the fruits of finishing top of the league stage - but Liverpool did that last season and then got PSG early doors.
They won’t have faced a single elite side in the knockouts if they get to the final.
The bookmakers have Woolwich favourites to win tonight and they are the away team. They are roaring hot favourites to make the final. Now they will be huge underdogs in that final but I do think Atletico are being way overrated on here. Woolwich probably will go through but hopefully Atletico make them work for it and maybe injure a couple of players!
Even if it did happen, I won't acknowledge it, Bayern and PSG have (or will have by that point) already played the true final.
Similar with the League, if they finish above City it would only be because City decided to have 3/4 of the season off, and then the PL shafted them with a fixture pile-up in May. Essentially the League season has been void this year due to the shocking overall quality of football and so nobody deserves to be referred to as Champions, certainly not a set-piece side that lines up with 4 centrebacks and 2 defensive midfielders (at a minimum!).
oh for sure. This Woolwich team will never get an ounce of credit off me. Disgusting football and a disgusting team. They've ruined the prem with their horrible style and that is all I'll remember this rotten team for even if they do get over the line and win a big trophy.
I made peace with the fact that we were going to get relegated and Woolwich were going to win the quadruple back in March. I accepted that and did the full mourning process. I've been working back from that scenario ever since and I'm absolutely free rolling now. The caribou cup final and Southampton games were just glorious. If they bottle the league it'll be the greatest thing ever. It would be incredible if we survived and they win nothing but imagine something has to give. Maybe them winning the league is the best one to give away. I can't give them a champions league or watch us get relegated. Them 2 aren't up for negotiations.
These cunts are getting to the final.....and will win the treble.
Treble fucking 2nd.
You’re funny and you amuse me .
Losing to Liverpool and Woolwich over 6 months ago means nothing. They also knocked out Barcelona, the runaway leaders of La Liga, in the previous round.
Because Barcelona are absolutely self destructive. A red card in each leg and some truly hideous defending. Barcelona are amazing in La Liga but very fragile in knockouts.
This is a 60/40 game in Woolwich's favour imo. With the players Atleti are missing, their current form etc. I can see Atletico winning but I’m not going in to this expecting them to do it over two legs at all.
Get you . Aals thank you for explaining your reasoning.
But very much hoping you’re mistaken btw .
