Disagree? Splashing the cash for a nutcase struggling with injuries and playing s*** for Villa for quite some time is wrong/ too big of a big risk imo. I he had shown he still had it here - why not - but obviously he hasn't. I was laughing because that was the ultimate statement of the blatently obvious. As if anyone would think Ashley is going to sanction signing him if he doesnt even get fit while here now. Ben Arfa was signed for £5m despite having a broken leg (after playing 2 games) and without the club having any reasonable idea of what he'll be like when he returns. Could say the same about Gosling, who no doubt would have been given a decent signing-on fee as a Bosman. So Ireland being signed irrespective of fitness is not all that unlikely tbf.

Ibrahimovic and Robinho were probably the worst players on the pitch. Far too arrogant/over confident.

Jenas got owned by Seedorf.

So close.

Seedorf can't be 34. Ridiculous.

"Tiny little nudge"

If it had been the other way around the knob would be complaining about how silly the refs are in European games to blow whenever there's a good challenge.

Crouch really is as thick as a plank of wood.

Robinho and Pato have had stinkers so far. Ibrahimovic hasn't been in it. Disappointing given the amount of talent they have between the three of them.

I know he's paid to talk, but Townsend needs to just shut up for a bit.

Dawson is really out of his league here.

Robinho, fuck sake.

Paxo would've stuffed them there if it wasn't for that block.

Seedorf playmaking in front of the defence =

Come on AC Milan!

Oh noes. It's Keita, Barcelona's very own Amdy Faye.

Applepie on.

It's always a yellow card whenever a player shoots at goal some time after the referee has blown. Nothing wrong with it being a second yellow imo.

Delighted. Busquets is a donkey. Well done Guardiola, getting rid of Yaya Toure for this thick camel of a donkey.

Fabregas looking shit in a big CL game again. Nothing new.

Coloccini injury would be the catalyst imo.

Just hope Pardew doesn't ruin him like Roeder did with Parker. The man's a natural DM, there's no need to turn him into an all rounder.

The way he drifts past players at times, I don't think he gets enough credit for it. He goes from nothing/standing positions inside his own half to beating a player or two and getting some space at the byline. Beyond the best wingers in the world, there simply aren't many wingers at all who can do that. If only he wasn't so inept when it came to shooting (his crossing has been OK in the past few games).
