I hope they'd want a Dortmund v Bayern final. Would be class.

:lol:

Negative? They were better than Real for the first 50 mins

It's not that though is it? Nani went for a ball control skill so many players do these days, Arbeloa came from behind. It's a completely different situation to the De Jong challenge...

TBF, the red card was shambles and they were close to scoring plenty of times. Confidence can't be high when everything seems to be going against you.

Toon Pack and College Dropout are brothers, right?

On his day one of the best players in Serie A, unfortunately way to inconsistent but does get a call up here and there to the national side.

I love it, Pardew has no effect at all on our performances. You are correct but on the other side of the coin those most vocal in the Pardew is s**** camp often ignore the things SLK mentioned. Well it could be argued that point 2 is down to Pardew no? Also playing in the Europa League can't be seen as too much of a problem this season since we played 60% youngsters and bench players in those games

The Liverpool hatred on here (forum) is so blatant. I hate them as much as the next guy, but Suarez not being the best in the league and the Enrique goal not being anything special

This Mike Magee guy has scored all three for LA Galaxy.

In terms of general play, use him as a target and link up man as little as possible, and if we do, keep it on the deck because he's useful with one touch passes etc. Sissoko's pretty much a centre forward for us, he's the link man between midfield and attack, his presence should allow Cisse to play on the shoulder, where he's most effective. Hadn't seen this before posting but

One thing that gets me is how deep he seems to get sometimes. If I was Pards I'd tell him to play on the last defender even if he gets offside 100times, instead of dropping deep to hold up play, we have Sissoko for that. Let him play as a poacher and stay offside 10 times as long as he gets onside once or twice and scores.

The thing is he is getting 2-3 chances a game, it's all about confidence. Not the best striker in the world, but he's extremely unselfish in his way of playing even if he sometimes prefers to shoot than pass the ball.

With those stats it wouldn't matter if opposing defences all found him hilarious. Still a far cry from the 37 they had from RVP last season. They've done well to spread-out the goal-scoring this year, with Giroud, Podolski, Walcott and Cazorla all hitting double-digits. But while ManU has RVP, Rooney, Hernandez and City has Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko in addition to their attacking midfielders and wingers, Arsenal has Giroud up top and that's about it. Nobody said he was RVP. But the adoration certain players at this club without ever getting near to such impressive stats should remind folk to think twice. Well said

And another one sent of 10 minutes prior to that. On a different and less funny note, St Etienne player broke his leg after terrible tackle from a Nice player.

I might be wrong, but it looked to me like he touched him on the heels. Obviously no intent, but I might be wrong?

I thought the ref made a pretty good decision. If Candreva doesn't touch Sharaawy he probably scores. I mean last man doesn't work in a situation like that since he's basically free on goal and no defender in the world will get in his way.

Suarez hattrick. That's a big middle finger to all of you who said Bale was better than him. (from him obviously not from me I like most of you)

Jeremy Menez is such a nothing player. Fucking disgrace today.

Our best player in the first half, thought Santon was a bit better in the 2nd though.

For once I don't think we can put the blame on Pards. We were unLukey.

Valdes double booked after the 90 minutes. Attacked the ref basically. almost hit him

Fucking fluke.
