    Just loving leverkusen story.

    Hovering relegation until alonso comes in and in what 18 months? Win the title and got into Europe last season and must be one of the favourites to win it. All with a modest budget selling their top players in the summer and investing smart

    Same but not the AV bit. Know a good few Celtic Villa bhoys so I'm happy for them as they have seen decent euro season.

    I think you mean Stuttgart? They got almost relegated last three seasons and now 3rd. Leverkusen were: 6, 3, 5, 6, 5, 4, 5th. Hardly relegation. Besides they are season after season in the top 5 for spending on players. They were well due to finally win the league. However they are the first plastic club and were always financially doped.

    Was meaning start of the season until alonso came in. They were in dire straits and went on a great run to finish in euro spots.

    Pretty sure Ortega the LB for olympiacos we were linked with and signed Bernabei instead. And Podence.

    Another Frimpong sitter. Mad he's scored as many goals as he has because his finishing is still dire.

    You were right about that! Forgot that . But still the point about their finances stands though, always on the drip of Bayer company or proxies, so financially they never wanted for. BUT they always stood for good and entertaining football though. So i give them that and they deserved what happened this season.

    Olympiacos showing what you can do with a relatively tiny bit of investment in the right areas.

    Podence is a match winner.

    Same with Brugge. Watching their game. They were a shambles a couple of weeks ago when Deila got the sack. Now they are within a shout to playing a European final and joint top of the league. But they also spent good money for players.

    Their manager must be * hot.

    Going through their starting XI and it's a host of rejects/back ups at the likes of Porto, Wolves, Verona etc. Mixed with some South Americans.

    Really does put us to shame.
