Gotta score there Diawara.

John O'Shea kippered. Hamstrung.

I don't like Inter but

Hard to believe he is still 21. Fucking picked the wrong game to watch here like.

Good old Steve Mandanda, the walking accident. Captain too?

Bayern are a joke at the back like.

Hows that a yellow and Evras wasn't? Poor refereeing

Vidic out for Man United. Massive opportunity for l'OM.

West Ham playing a team that wouldn't look amiss in the Carling Cup in today's game. Keane, Boa Morte, Hines, Sears, Kovac, Faubert and Ilunga all start.

I'm the same. Always used to care as well, even though I know many never have done. The World Cup last year was disgusting, as were the lies about rejuvenating the squad in its aftermath. I think before the WC myself and you were one of the few on here that argued disregarding Engerrland was wrong. The last WC was the last straw for me though. Total farce and I genuinely couldn't give a fuck anymore, Carroll playing the other month perked my interest a little but whey...we all know how that's turned out. I normally was pretty apathetic with Engerland but pumped myself right up and got well stuck in for the World Cup, error. Apathetic as fuck now. I'd get behind a young team which would be the basis for a few years coming and you could grow with a la Germany but the squad is more or less the same as the proven failures who've formed the backbone of the last 2 tournaments which have been beyond embarrassing for a team with the supposed richest & arguably best league in the world. In fact only King, Carragher and James from the World Cup have not been called up since.

Because he's been a great servant to this club, and yet has only just now been given the chance as no.1. I'd happily give him a chance as a coach in a couple of years time than pat him on the arse and go "Cheers for keeping the bench warm all these years mate, off you pop" Does Harper have his coaching badges like?

I'm going to stick my neck out and day Alan Carr doesn't still live with his parents.

Oh I'm sure you could squeeze 10mins here and there

Not seeing friends or family very often? Hours and hours on planes/trains etc.. I think on the face of it, it looks like the perfect job but you factor in those things and I bet it's nowhere near as good as you would think. Bet he spends less time at work inc travel than you do. If he's based in London or even abroad (a decent chance) its 2/3 hours direct to most places he'd be going max.

Pardew's back at home shagging his wife. With those European hookers on the club account who'd give a fuck.

Best seats in the house too I'd imagine.

I'd struggle think of any other better that I'd want too within reason. You'd be blitzing the expenses. Wonder where he calls home, London?

Would be wicked for away fans

note to self, bet more on hunches.

Could go either way here. Messi an inch away just there, Sevilla looking dangerous everytime they counter.

Absolutely brilliant 2nd half. Lovely bit of needle developing.

What a miss.

Gooooool! Well played Petr Cech.

I don't why I did this but I remember at first school me and this other lad deciding we'd bash our knees together as hard as possible. Poor decision, couldn't stand up for about a half hour. Worst pain I've ever experienced and I've broken a few bones.

Is he underrated? Definitely. Don't really think he's underrated. I think pretty much everyone appreciates he's class. Love the impact he, as a 'right back' (I know, but still) has on a team going forward. Yes, he has brilliant players around him but his level of contribution is such an asset for Barca. The sheer thought of knowing that at any time he's running past you but being blind to it is a ballache for the defending team in itself. I'm talking top 5 in the world though. I don't think many rate him that highly but they should. Sid Lowe does.
