Jonas is literally the best player in the entire world not playing in the top flight. I'd prefer he was on the pitch. we miss him even more than Oga Shola.

Barca are different. They play full 4-3-3. Hell, they almost play 4-2-4 if you consider the positions Iniesta takes up. Kind of like Chelsea and Man U, the positions become blurred because the players are so good and they spend 90 percent of most games entrenched in other team's half. For us, when we play the formation, things become narrow because all the people we play there look to cut inside. Until we get Jonas back and Lovenkrands fit it will look flat, as will 4-4-2. Also, Barton has no business on the wing. If any of our centre midfielders play wide it should be Guthrie

He was benched for the match against l'OM after a poor performance in Serie A and I heard he was dropped completely for the weekend.

I don't understand people who say 4-4-2 is attack and 4-5-1 is defend. We played 4-4-2 last year and we had a pitiful amount of attacking support to the strikers. 4-5-1 is also interchangeable with 4-3-3 especially if your the team that is likely to have the most possession.

People act like Liverpool and Chelsea are long ball teams but they are 1 and 2 in the league in passes completed. The truth is that both of them control the match and kill the other team off by dominating possession of the ball. Man U and Arsenal are more attacking but do not dominate possession as much.

Very pleased with these two signings. The Georgian especially could have actually helped us last season. Premiership quality players in my opinion.

Or praise us for anything like having a higher attendance than a team at the top of the Premier League Newcastle's support is fantastic, undoubtedly. However, when Chelsea's staidum in filled up 99 percent to the maximum, whn ours is 8,000 under capacity, it's not worth boasting about. We should boast about the likes of Sunderland, Wigan, etc, who actually cannot fill their stadia.

I'm not supporting Chelsea fans or anything, but their stadium was about 99 percent full. It is a bit crazy to criticise a team for this.

Could have something to do with SJP holding about 10, 000 more than Stamford Bridge. Stamford Bridge wasn't full. They had 41 out of 42 thousand or something like that.

"Meandering on the ball"

Bit easier playing for Lyon, instead of St. Ettienne who were awfully rubbish last year. He'll get his form back unfortunately. Draw will do fine for me anyway. Lyon and PSG both lose two points. Good.

Chelsea will be damn hard to stop this season.

I think Drogba is actually more talented than Zlatan, but his performance don't reflect that. I know the player I'd want on my team.

What's the deal with Atletico? They've been terrible this season.

Drogba is a better all round player for me, as is Torres Notice, I inserted the word consistent. Drogba has only had one season in england to challenge what Ibra has done since moving to Inter. I loved the guy at Marseille, but he is the opposite of consistent. Drogba was poor under Scolari when he was struggling with injuries but pretty damn consistent over the last 4 years apart from that period Last year 5 league goals. The year before 8 league goals. Both Oba and Owen have outscored him in this period.

He isn't a striker. Neither is Messi. I don't think he's the best player, but he might be the best striker.

Who's been consistently better over the last few seasons?

Good. Hope he does well. He gets criticized far too much considering he might just be the best striker in the world.

Living off a good Champions League season when they won it. Always been average imo. You have got to be kidding me. He has been poor this season but in the last 5 years or so, has been very good - one of Liverpool's top performers. So easy for a centre-back to look good when you've got a keeper like Reina behind you, and the likes of Alonso, Gerrard & Mascherano protecting you. My opinion's he's on a par with the likes of Dunne rather than Terry. Not really when he is blocking shot after shot and reading the game well. He has been named Liverpools player of the year a few times IIRC.. hardly average. Also whats the difference with Terry?.. he has Essien, Lampard, Ballack protecting him in front of a better keeper First off, Ballack hasn't protected anyone in like five years. Also, Terry is still one of the better centrebacks in the world, though he's dcelined. Carragher is the third best at his club.

3-0 Marseille. Cisse. This is fun. Combine this with Newcastle and it's a good Saturday.

Lucho opens his account for Marseille, and Niang doubles the advantgae with an absolutely brilliant counter attack goal. Things looking good.

Yakubu, Fellaini, and the Russian have cost at least 35 million British pounds sterling by themselves. He's had funds.

Nolan is one of the worst signings I can remember. 4 million spent on a proven Premiership player...and he is a liability in the Championship. Who sanctioned that for goodness sake? And to think we were linked with M'bia and Marco Donadel (would have cost about the same) as well. Rubbish.
