Rumors about Kaka leaving to Milan as well (for 0, but still, better than paying 10 millions for staying in the bench  )
This RM looks much better and promising than I expected months ago.

Bale's a waste of a 100 million, but I'm happy as an Arsenal fan.

Yup, it's too much money for someone who has won only 1 title...but it will be difficult to be worse than the 67 + 10 anually of Kaka

I agree, Bale's arrival and Kaka's eventual departure are good moves for RM. It will be at least interesting to see the Real-Barca battle this season, me being an Atleti fan.

Amazing first half Barcelona-Valencia, 3-2 Barca with Postiga scoring a stupidly good brace and Messi a great hat trick.

I hope we get Ozil. Maybe that will make the Wenger haters shut up.
But on the other hand...

It seems Özil deal to Arsenal is done, 50 million euros.
I still think is a bad move for RM, he is a really good assistant.

I still think we need a better defence more than midfield or attack.

I like to guess, please shares you too.
My guess on the final group standings:
A:
Manchester United
Shakter Donetsk
Real Sociedad
Bayer Leverkusen
Though I think Man. U is in serious risk of being eliminated.
B:
Juventus
Real Madrid
Copenhagen
Galatasaray
Real Madrid without Mourinho will go back to a team who can't defeat any strong teams and wins over mediocre team without any problems, especially after they sold Özil. Juventus will easily defeat Madrid while "struggling" against the weaker teams as is typical for them.
C:
PSG
Benfica
Anderlecht
Olympiakos
Greek football is on a low, Belgium is advancing, Benfica might win at home against PSG and PSG will be dominating.
D:
Bayern
Plzen
City
CSKA
Russians are always unpredictable, won't do well in away games and aren't even usually doing very well in home games either. City can never go through. Plzen aren't pushovers and Bayern usually finds a way to finish on top, even when they'll probably lose in England.
E:
Chelsea
Schalke
Steua
Basel
Romanians aren't what they used to be and Basel is advancing, I still think Steua will triumph. The other two teams are simply stronger and Chelsea have Mourinho.
F:
Arsenal
Marseille
Dortmund
Napoli
Arsenal will take advance of Dortmund usually being very unpredictive in how well they do in Europe. Napoli is a strong team, but will only have 1 point after 3 encounters and will prioritize the tournament less. Marseille is very interesting.
G:
Porto
Zenit
Atletico
Wien
Wien is much weaker. Atletico is often unstable in Europe, and usually lose against Porto. Zenit probably won't do much better, but might get 1 point more against Porto, which will be crucial for their success chances.
H:
Barcelona
Ajax
Milan
Celtic
Barcelona isn't what they used to be, but Ajax, Milan and Celtic are all three teams which these days aren't what they used to be. Celtic is by far the weakest, Milan is probably stronger than Ajax, but Ajax usually do well against Milan. Milan's chances of success will be doing better than Ajax against Barcelona.
Okay, your turn now.

Alright...
A:
1: Real Sociedad
2/3: Bayer Leverkusen, Shakter Donetsk
4: Manchester United
I don't trust in Moyes. And I feel Real Sociedad gonna be the Dark Horse
B:
1: Real Madrid
2: Juventus
3: Galatasaray
4: Copenhagen
Ez business for RM. Juventus should be second without problems...
C:
1: PSG
2: Benfica
3: Olympiakos
4: Anderlecht
PSG should win easily, but Benfica may surprise them.
D:
1: Bayern
2: City
3: CSKA
4: Plzen
Bayern #1 for sure. City has simply too good players to not be second.
E:
1: Chelsea
2: Schalke
3: Steua
4: Basel
Seems like an UEFA group lol
F:
1: Dortmund
273: Napoli
3: Arsenal
4: Marseille
Dourtmund is too strong for the rest, imo. I see Napoli over Arsenal, but can be either way.
G:
1/2: Atletico, Porto
3/4: Zenit, Wien
I can't decide between Atleti & Oporto - both are strong teams, way stronger the other two.
H:
1: Barcelona
2: Milan
3: Ajax
4: Celtic
Barça will have 0 problems here, tata is managing the team waaay better than tito. Ajax is weaker than Milan, I don't see them winning them.

These are just my guesses:
A:
Manchester United
Shakter Donetsk
Real Sociedad
Bayer Leverkusen
Man United remains Man United. Shakhtar has the most experience of the remaining three, but so did Lyon and it didn't help against Sociedad. The fight for second place will be very tight. Bayer are a good team undone by the hard draw.
B:
Real Madrid
Juventus
Galatasaray
Copenhagen
Real Madrid and Juventus remain top teams, I don't think Galatasaray can touch them. When and if they will feel threatened, they will play at full force and score 3 in 15-20 mins.
I saw Copenhagen last year because they were in the same group as my home team and they were very average. I don't think they will make more than one draw.
C:
PSG
Benfica
Olympiacos
Anderlecht
Olympiacos can surprise at moments, but I don't think they can compete with PSG and Benfica. Anderlecht would be better if they were able to hold their stars, but they sold some of their most important players this summer
D:
Bayern
City
CSKA
Plzen
City can't afford to miss out again. They have a new manager and an easier group than the last two years. CSKA are good, but in this group they can't do too much. Plzen are decent, realistically they would had hoped for third, but in their case the pot 3 team was City, so they have nothing they can do.
E:
Chelsea
Steaua
Basel
Schalke
I think Steaua-Basel is the most balanced fixture in the group stage. This is the fourth consecutive season in which Basel meet a Romanian team in the Champions League, and the record is 3 0 3 8-8. Both Steaua and Basel eliminated better rated teams last year, and they could do the same with Schalke.
Normally Chelsea should win the group. The other three teams are evenly matched, they will probably all come in a 3-4 point margin of each other. I ranked them only on subjective preference.
F:
Dortmund
Arsenal
Napoli
Marseille
Dortmund are much more experienced this time, and should beat Arsenal. The Gunners, with Ozil, will battle with Napoli for second place, but they can muster in when needed. Look what they did to Fenerbahce. Marseille will finish bottom mostly because of the bad draw the had. They would have had a chance at 3rd in most other groups.
G:
Atletico
Porto
Zenit
Wien
I rate Atletico highly, and Porto have disappointed in Europe after their Europa League triumph. Zenit are unpredictable and could be in top two, but I doubt it. Wien is much weaker than the rest in this group.
H:
Barcelona
Milan
Ajax
Celtic
Milan delivered when it mattered against PSV. Ajax were champions, but how much better could they be than PSV? Also, they lost Eriksen and Alderweireld. Celtic have a 40/60 chance of beating Ajax and coming 3rd

That's the fun with my predictions, I am never really objective
Interesting World Cup qualifier results:
Switzerland 4-4 Iceland
I wonder how much money could've been made if one put a bet that 8 goals will be scored.
Romania 3-0 Hungary
Good win for us but our opponents were weak in this match, so I'm not getting my hopes up for a World Cup appearance, but we might get lucky if we make it to the playoff
Czech Rep - Armenia 1-2
Second place in the group is up for grabs between Armenia, Bulgaria, the Czech and the Danes. Italy will most likely finish first.
Georgia - France 0-0
Now France have slim chances of qualifying directly because Spain is unlikely to drop points.
Ireland - Sweden 1-2
Bad luck for the hosts despite the proverbial Irish luck. They lost to the Swedes after taking an early lead. Sweden seems to be the favorite now for 2nd place in the group.
N.Ireland - Portugal 2-4
C.Ronaldo scored a hat-trick and moves Portugal very close to direct qualification to the World Cup.

And Benzema has scored 0 goals in the last 1200+ minutes played with France -.-
RM gonna miss Higuain (unless Morata steps up, he scored 4 goals in the sub21 match 3 days ago!)

I'll comment a little on the Romania vs Turkey game, 0-2.
Of course Turkey won, we didn't deserve it. I didn't know what our team was playing at, they were careless, disorganised and messy, probably thought they'll have it easy after the win against Hungary.
Our opponents were more determined and active, they knew the odds were against them and they still fought and won this match. It's no wonder Turkey had that stunning Euro 2008 performance under a great manager like Fatih Terim.
I hope our players and especially the manager will have learned something from this encounter.
