Unbelievable

Oooohhhh, close

Good defending from those two Nigerians versus four Argentinians..

Seedorf for crying out loud..

It's funny actually that Holland will probably not play with a traditional striker leading the line. Van Nistelrooij is not even there, and I can't see Huntelaar getting much pitch time unless Van Persie gets injured. Kuyt is considered more of a right sided forward like he is for Liverpool (stand in to Robben). I have to say I quite like our options up front if things don't go to plan (Elia, Kuyt, Huntelaar, Babel). As I said, the poor defense will be our downfall (yet again), but we have the front players to outplay every team we meet and give some established teams a blush or two on our day (like France and Italy in the last EC). Keep an eye om Van der Wiel too, who is an energetic full back in the Roberto Carlos/Daniel Alves mold..

I suspect Holland will line up as follows: Van Persie Van der Vaart Robben Sneijder De Jong Van Bommel Van Bronkhorst Mathijssen Heitinga Van der Wiel Stekelenburg The defense is worryingly weak; here's hoping the front 4 get the freedom to outscore our opponents and the defensive midfield provide reasonable cover to stop us from leaking too many goals at the back...

Yay! Looks like Robben may be fit for our first group match after all! Would have been a serious blow to our title aspirations had he had to drop out of the WC squad... Can't wait to see our Fab Four (Van Persie, Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Robben) destroy the opposition..

Surely this iß costing the club money? Also, what's the point of denying transfer rumours? The emails to the papers (the Sun and Mirror have also had them apparently) are from some law firm in London, so won't come cheap. All the emails demand that rertractions are printed in the papers. Haven't seen any so far...... This seems an extremely odd way to be acting if indeed it is true. How is it strange? They fired out statement & now they clamping down on organisations since then, I would say it was to be expected. They issued a statement saying: Nowhere does it say they will have lawyers sending threathening letters to media who write about our transfer targets and policy, does it?

Nearly 2-0 Malaga

I may switch to the Real Madrid goal after the final whistle if only to see CRonaldo cry...

That's absolutely brilliant!

£20 million a year only adds up to £60 million, he's already put in much more than that. I know, I know, but I mean when they talk about breaking even, I presume this means excluding any 20 million a year investments by Ashley, or does it?

I was just thinking, does this also spell the end of the 20 million of his own money Mike promised to put in the club on a yearly basis?

I liked our last "five year plan" far more Derek.. Whatever happened to our "challenging for everything" plan from last year? Turns out running a football club is not as easy as running a casino, is it?

That picture is brilliant.. http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00112/ranger_516x350_112376a.jpg

Messi turns too fast, should be booked tbh

Wahey!!!

Should be 2 for Chelsea

Man U fans must be gutted, hence why I'm loving this..

Nice one Stevie G!

Drogba!

Great shot Aquilani. What a goal that would have been!

A Van Gaal versus Mourinho final.. I can't wait to see who is the most arrogant, annoying twat on the night. Funny to think Van Gaal probably taught Mourinho quite a bit in that department..

Stop acting like a cunt Jose please..

Inter Milan deservedly through over 2 legs tbf..
