How bad could Jonas have been last night? It was his first game back in the team. Why is everyone rushing to blame him?

The squad we had last season would have destroyed the Championship by rape. When you look at the players we've lost/had out and how we've done, you can't help but think that.

Just seen BATE's goal. Ridiculous strike.

As a Marseille supporter, I'm conflicted about that result. It means that we are only three points behind second with Zurich up next. However, it also means that third place is by no means a guarantee. I just hope we can take care of business about the Swiss team, because I don't see Milan getting that lucky against us twice. We were rubbish in the second half of this game, but the first half performance leads me to believe we would have a chance of getting at them in the Velodrome.

Shola's no better than Carroll tbh. Did you miss the beginning of this season? No, And I've watched Newcastle for years. Don't let a pen and a couple of goals against a crap team mislead you. He scored as many goals in the first part of this season as Carroll scored in his entire career. Yeah, brilliant. Some mongs on here like. Don't put yourself down Yeah, alright I'll buy into the bollocks Shola hyperbole then shall I? **** me. What hyperbole? How is stating he's better than Carrol hyperbole?

Oba on.

aye, come the f*** on! Why do you sympathize with Bordeaux and not l'OM?

Plenty of time to win too. Push forward.

Third Madrid goal was atrocious defending from a set of players that had given up.

We've fallen apart now. These guys are useless.

Man, f*** off, you think it's a good thing that the likes of Real are given free goals. So tired of this kind of rubbish. Reidiculous that Deschamp the idiot started Morientes as well.

That's jist brilliant. Real score a f***** simple route one goal, with Diawara gettig beat and Mandanda coming out for no reason and then doind nothing. edit: 2-0 bull**** penalty. To hell with this. These guys always bottle it away.

I wouldn't mind both coming on.

l'OM have done well to get it to 0-0 at half. We need to play with the same energy in the second. Madrid have had a few chances and Mandanda had to come up huge right before half to keep out Benzema, but similarly Real's goal has been threatened ore than once.

Or our lot think the season is a forgone conclusion and need to pull their fingers out. We should be at least 1-1 here. How can you conclude this? QPR are supposedly a decent team and we are down 1-0 to a deflected goal and have missed a penalty. This is football, nothing comes easy.

Would have prefered Nolan. Guthrie's hardly played, he can't have as much confidence.

He'll get plenty of games, but maybe not as many starts. He's third choice striker, and plays on the wing as well. Cheers for that. Can't imagine he'll be content as 3rd choice or on the wing. Considering that the two infront of him scored 25+ goals last season and he scored about 9, I'm thinking he knew the situation coming in. Problems would only set in if Wolfsburg drop from the upper echelon on Germany.

Zurich 1 Milan 0. Hmmm. Any kind of result against Madrid for l'OM could be huge if Zurich keep it up.

Given the selection of matches tonight, I can't see why anyone would want to watch Chelsea toil to an easy 3-0 victory.

Really excited for the match against Real tonight. (l'OM) We've put out a real physical, strong side and I hope we can maybe force our influence on the game a bit.

Only those are a class above? How many other teams have players as good as Guthrie, Taylor, Carroll etc. etc.? Just realised you probably just meant we lost Martins? That was the problem right? Who were the superstars who left? Viduka, Owen? Only Bassong was decent last season and Enrique was better than Beye. We lost Martins, Owen, Bassong, Beye, Duff, Viduka. These players are all far above the Championship level of football. Hell Beye and Bassong, Duff went to top seven teams and Martins and Owen are in the Champions League. Honestly, I forgot Guthrie and he definitely is Premiership calibre. Taylor has never consistently played well at the top level, but he is definitely developing into a good player.

We did lose the majority of our good players though. It's not like we're playing with a Premiership squad. Only Jonas, Enrique, and Barton are a class above imo. Of those three Jonas is injured, Barton is injured/in jail/doesn't care/clinically insane, and Enrique hasn't settled down yet.
