Bad news for Chelsea, Cech's out for 3-4 weeks with a knee ligament injury
Derp.![]()
I imagine he'll be slowly introduced and play in cup games or come on as a sub this year. Anelka's contract ends after this season and he'll probably play most of his games out wide or as an attacking mid.Lukaku is a beast, though very young, with Anelka, Torres and Drogba to compete against will he get to play at all?
(or will they ship out Anelka or Drogba?)
Messi's ball for Iniestas goal was straight out of the top drawer. The vision then the execution was simply stunning.
What is it with Mourinho? What is his problem? Why cant he lose with a bit of decorum instead of having his players trying to injure the opposition and then crying to the press.
Real Madrid are nobodies. If we avoid each other in the knockouts, I cant see past another United v Barca final and there is no way United will lose 3 on the bounce against us. I will take us over 2 legs anyday against anyone, even the great Brazil team of the 70s, but on a one legged tie, anything can happen and United are my tip for the champions league this year.
Pass to iniesta = amazing
Volley for winner = brilliant.
Tackle by marcelo = stupid
Attitude by players in both teams = rediculous.
Now days both sides are happy to have a punch up during a match for very little reason. Yes the foul was awful but there was no need for all the barcelona players to pile in. If they didnt do that then the player is sent off and that is that. Instead everyone wants to get involved and that twat of a sub goalkeeper is always one the first to be starting something.
Alot of those players dont deserve to be on the pitch from both sides. Either divers, cheats or just plain violent buggers. But the spanish FA love it when this situation happens else both teams would have be royally fucked over by now as seems to happen in almost every match
Yup it's getting beyond a joke now. My first thought when someone mentions Barca in a conversation is cheating fuckers. The fact they play nice football comes second to the sour taste that is constantly left in my mouth after watching them roll around.
It is annoying yes and they dont need to do it. Look at the way they totally demolished the champions of England, with style and panache, making United look like a blue square north team and they did it without having to resort to playacting.
But, its part of the spanish game and probably always will be.
stoke winning as well, and up against 10 men, they might actually play football now and finish a match with over 50% possession!!!!!!
Helsiniki beat Schalke 2-0 oO
i know, Jari Litmanen was playing up front
Raul wasnt playing though, is he injured?
Which begs the question as to why they have to playact in the first place? Such a great team will be tinted in the majorities view because of this and their snobbish attitude. Only 3 likeable players for Barcelona, Messi, Pique and Abidal.
