Fucking sucks this. Bring Hatem on early and he'll do great things, just needs some god-damn minutes.

Why no Hatem?

Why the fuck is the Ukrainian number 9 a rightback? Awful.

Awesome.

Too easy.

Really poor by Cassano

That concerned me, too. He's just been indulging in a bit of light choking, no biggie, it's how the Pards rolls.

Glad he was so straight to the point about Spurs, no mixing of words, just "No, what I'm doing at Newcastle is great, no interest in anything else"

Pirlo. Unreal.

Fucking hell, god-like keeping.

Same, really good to watch. Love their formation too, something a bit different.

Pirlo is just a god.

Almost a brilliant goal.

BBC has the Italian widemen playing really high up, always assumed they'd be wingbacks but it doesn't seem it from their graphic. EDIT: Nevermind, clearly are wingbacks.

Are they not out there themselves? Just assumed they would be. Nope, not going out until the quarters. Ah really? Lazy.

Buffon getting into it

Are they not out there themselves? Just assumed they would be.

Of course, this.

Nah never to the same extent. HBA seems a bit, well weird for lack of a better term.

So gorgeous.

Bullocks. He'll never leave for a team where he's behind Riebery and Robben in the pecking order, even if Bayern offers him a bigger salary and CL-football. FFS man Punk, LIKE Bayern, not them specifically. It seems we are ignorant as ever about losing our better players. I don't want Ben Arfa to leave but don't pretend like there is some special bond between him and the club. Not saying there necessarily is, but there could be something like, the whole sticking with him through injury, making him the main man when he's always been in and out of starting line-ups, getting him back into the national team in the process. Not saying he's Shearer, but surely he must be quite attached to the club after all this. Attachment is one thing, rejecting clubs around us in the league etc but him not being tempted by a club in the champions league, willing to triple his wages is another. I'm sure he does like the place, the people, the fans, the club etc..... but then so did Jose Enrique. As for the club sticking by him through injuries, we did the same for Owen, look how that turned out. Ok, it's massively unfair to label him in the same way as them cunts but i think you get the point. I dunno, he seems different to the typical money-grabbing cunts that are the modern footballer. Probably setting myself up for a huge disappointment, but as long as he feels loved here and we continue to improve I can't see him leaving.
