I thought we scrapped that whole rotation idea after Africa could only put together two or three decent bids for 2010 and South America only put together one serious bid for 2014. South Africa isn't exactly the safest country, tbh. They have very hgih crime, as do almost all poor nations. It's really all about how the authorities manage/hide it.

Baffling that they think competeing with the most popular league in the world for viewers will increase viewership.

I don't think any other club matched the 18 million euro bid that we sent to Porto. I know Real Madrid were sniffing around but it never materialised. France isn't the best league in Europe, but it's definitely better than Portugal. I think he was content with playing for the biggest clubs in France and being probaly the biggest star and definitely the highest paid player. Ligue 1 clubs have been flashing money of late as well. Lyon paid 25 million euro for Lisandro Lopez from Porto. Anyway, match ended OM 0 Auxerre 0. Honeslty one of the worst games I've seent this season. Was a shame considering how big the match was. I'm happy with the result though. Five points (and a higher GD) ahead at the top with three matches to go. They're so so close, now.

It's ridiculous really, especially when you consider the gaps in what kind of physical contact is allowed throughout the European leagues. Lucho really ought to be getting something better on that ball from three yards out. Big chance missed. How's Lucho been after a bad start? Lucho is class, man. It took a long time for him to get used to the physical French league, but he's been massively influential after the New Year and vital in the undefeated run that has seen OM go top. I'm pretty sure he leads Ligue 1 is assists. He has great vision, works quite hard, and his delivery from set pieces is top class and led to many goals. Lisandro, Ligue 1's other Argentine Porto import hasbeen class for Lyon, too. That club is a pipeline.

I pray to God we don't sign Yakubu and his ever expanding buttocks. I can't tolerate having to watch him play for my team more than I already do.

According to Soccernet (relatively reliable), Aguero has already agreed a deal with Chelsea. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=779282&sec=transfers&cc=5901 They could definitely use that injection of youth and creativity. Now they ought to look to replace Deco and Ballack.

A 22-year old has an average performance (he still was creative and caused a great save from Julio Cesar) against an amazing defensive pefromace and people want to condemn him. Amazing. The result speaks more to Pep's stubbornnes and Inter's stotuness than anything else

Isn't it interesting that - bar Fulham - all the teams in the UEFA cup semis have been s*** in their domestic leagues? Lyon have were the same in the Champions League as well. Liverpool, Atletico, and Hamburg all expected to be in Europe and are designed to compete in the competition, so I don't think they have excuses.

Off the pitch he's a fine man for sure, but the guy has an horrid personality on the pitch and displays alot of poor actions. He play acts, he cries, etc.

Thuggery isn't physicality. Na wa, man. I don't know how someone can be so pedantic and condescending while also being completely wrong. It's quite impressive. Pardon? Look if you lot can speak in Geordie all day, you're going to have to let me get a little comfortable as well

Because the ref gave them everything. Referee also gave Barca a ten man advantage for 70 minutes. Shut yourself and stop complaining. If he hadn't raised his hands, he'd have still been on the pitch. It's his own f***ing fault for being stupid enough to push the player away with his hand. And if Barca players hadn't come into contact with Inter players they would not have opportunity to dive. Do not let minor infractions from players excuse vast incompetence for highly paid and qualified referees.

Inter did commit less fouls though, so you can't say they were the ones ruining the game

More than 8 times as many! Lord, man. Makes Inter's win even more special.

I don't how anyone who watches the Premiership can think that was thuggery, or think that the Italians or any more physical than England's top teams. So true. Nobody suggested that though, wake up. What I was specifically responding to a post which called Inter's actions thuggery and criticised Italian football.

Tbh, I don't want to here anything about the referee robbing Barca after that last year at Stamford Bridge. It does come back around sometimes.

Mourinho is an amazing man. :lol:

:lol: Jesus Christ.

Mariga has to be terrified Bring on someone experienced. Inter have no more attacking players left.

The next seven minutes is going to be absolutely brilliant.

Did Lucio just get his first yellow card of the night? How is it his first?
