Man United in March/April mode where its just win, win, win. Lush for us.

People power will stop this. Otherwise this is a complete tragedy.

Our injuries have been a LOT worse than sunderlands. No doubt.

How is Steven Defour doing these days? Was heavily linked with Liverpool and Man United a few years ago, but he's still at Standard.

its all in the body language, people

Theres a good chance that Birmingham and Stoke will be the cup winners this year.....why shouldn't we have a piece of that? Neither are going down and it'll only add 5 or 6 games. These are professional athletes, they can take it.

For some reason I listened to Keys & Gray today and they said they'd ask Tony Pulis about Europa when he's on the show this week. He'll know.

He was good in Meet The Fockers and enjoyable in Theres Something About Mary, but player of the year? Aye, jog on mate.

It also claims that Norway is the country that loves football the most. Do our resident Norsemen agree?

I finished reading this about 2 weeks ago and loved it (for the most part). Actually thought the title chapter of why england lose was the worst bit. Sometimes i found their methods debatable but overall it was a great read. Liked their investigation into how Lyon have became what they have. They have a transfer committee who use the 'wisdom of crowds' to make decisions. Its went pretty well for them!

Last night made me even more excited for the next three tbh. Its fascinating how these four will pan out and last night was a nice bit of foreplay to the rest. Barca took it easy; they're pacing themselves and it worked. Got a horrible feeling Real will knock them out of the CL though.

Would call it a joke but this one isn't even funny. All the award's credibility has gone down the toilet thanks to the last two years.

Its a very smart (and obvious) strategy. Spend the money on quality and enlargen the squad with freebies. Going for Larsson, Wendt, Elmander etc is a no brainer.

Ferguson said some nice things about us in that Sky interview, but because he remembers us we're DEFINITELY getting slaughtered (if it was in any doubt). I was optimistic but after yesterday's defeat theres no chance of them messing up again, especially when Magic League #19 is in sight. 0-3, Rooney hat-trick (because thats how he rolls).

Its not getting any easier for Blackburn. They could easily sneak in there......

Maybe he's off to the casino.

Robben, Malouda, Kalou and Ballack are/were good too though.

If Messi wasn't around, we'd probably be saying all this about CRonaldo, whose goal scoring record is also extraordinary. Poor Crissy. Seems like the world can't handle two of them at once.....

He's definitely waiting for Man Utd but Fergie just keeps going and I still see him there in 3 or 4 years time. Arsenal/Wenger is the same story and I just don't see him at Man City because that'd be too easy for him. If he wins stuff at Real and can't get Man Utd, maybe he wants a different kind of challenge. The return at Chelsea is what I'd bet on, but I don't think Spurs are as unlikely as it sounds.

Need. Want. NOW!!!!

Oleguer, Gerard and Gabri......what a fantastic team they were

I reckon this Barca team is in its third season. As soon as Ronaldinho, Zambrotta, Deco and Oleguer left a new iteration began. Best team I've ever seen. International teams are hard to compare due to the lack of games and I'm too young to compare them with past club sides. But they'll be very hard to topple.

Got a horrible feeling Spurs will get him to replace Redknapp next summer. Tell me I'm wrong, please.

So which of the four will Barca/Madrid 'take it easy' in? I'd say the cup game, but the league match is looking less pivotal now.

bet you thought that was onside too?
