They really shouldn't play semi finals at the same venue as the final.

Yeap, real shame. They could have played the Manchester derby at SJP!

I dislike West Ham, but I still respect that they're a real club that is worthy of existence, unlike Wigan.

Would very much agree there... Apart from the dislike, always quite liked them

"It's an absolute goal"

If only the mackems didn't already have 38pts on the board. They'd be bricking it right now.

Just what I was thinking, it's too little too late for their charge towards the bottom. If only they'd started losing a bit sooner.

"How frustrated will Torres be not to be out there against West Brom" as Chelsea go 3-1

... well if he was on the pitch they'd probably still be one down and looking like shit

Ashley Young messing up for the West Ham goal? Ho ho

Now, this time... that's a mis-use.

I believe you can't have a "not play against us" clause in transfers. They could be nothing more than a gentleman's agreement. Even then why on earth would Liverpool agree to that when need points too.

One of the first shirts I got:

Loved that Umbro template that also saw Brazil win the World Cup:

All this diving in the box is embarrassing...

Will one of you fuckers actually explain what's happening!?

 

Gomes stood in front of the ball, then put his hands out and then chased it into the net after it deflected off his palms.

Robertgreenesque??

Great stuff with the FIFA in game shots!! Still don't like the kit though

Nice away and third ones.

Horrific. The only way you can 'get away with' the plain back is if you do it like Stoke - have it completely plain.

Now way, that's even worse, imo! Would rather still have a patch than that.

A friend posted it on my facebook wall... Exactly what the thread needed!

but at this point he does look better than Zidane.

I would say so, definitely. Zidane seemed to turn up when he fancied it and didn't get nearly as many goals. Messi is a monster of consistency.

Edit: just checked his stats, and I know it wasn't his main job but still Zidane only managed double figures in league goals once.

Too early to judge imo, he's 23, scarily he might not even be at his peak yet.

Probably true for most 23 year olds, but not when you've had three seasons like Messi has had. 133 goals and 52 assists ffs

The current Messi is worthy of being included in the debate, let alone what he might still become.

If he's not already up there, what else would he need to do to join them?

If he features even somewhat prominently in helping Barcelona win the CL this year, that would seal it, imho.

And if they don't he's got plenty of time still.

Surprised Van der Sar retreated to his line when Drogba chested that. Seemed like he could have got there or at least make it harder for Drogbar.

Anyway... nice finish Park.

As shit as Ramires is, he clearly put the breaks on there, and accidentally collided. Harsh yellow, Nani of course was quick to make sure he got sent off.

Nani
