When have your best players Tiote,Barton,Enrique,Collocini and Nolan been out injured? Other than Enrique being out about a month you've had a very,very good season injury wise. You once again conveniently ignore Ben Arfa. Carroll not count either? Steve Harper? Leon Best? Shola? We might not have the strongest squad in the world but when we have to draft in Shefki Kuqi as striking cover you know that you're fucked injury wise! Or that you strikeforce is abysmal? OUR STRIKEFORCE IS ABYSMAL!? L-KRAB is the best strike-force in the league, bar none. Get out of here. L-KRAB, I like it. No need to buy any strikers.

I thought Welbeck's loan had been terminated? Definitely need some sort of shit-stirring graphic.

I don't actually think there's much Real Madrid can do. They're just up against the best club side in recent history and in my view, it will take some sort of complacency on Barca's part for Real to win the league next year. Either that or Messi, Xavi and Iniesta being out for ages.

Yep, probably the most important decision for Guardiola, that, as the rest of the team pretty much picks itself. I assume he'll be given game time in the remaining La Liga games and if he's deemed ready to face Man Utd then that's a blow to Man Utd. Abidal is one of the most improved players in La Liga in the past 12 months IMO.

Villa's been in very poor form, though. Yes he could skip away from O'Shea for example coming inside from the left but what is it, 1 in 14 now? Still a class act of course but not Man Utd's biggest concern (if it's possible or useful to rank Barca's threats).

Yep, I'm expecting a good game too and I don't think it'll be that one-sided. Barca will no doubt have upwards of 60% of the ball but I don't think Man Utd will be outplayed in the same way they were in Rome.

There are no laughs involved when Kevin Kyle is signed on FM, or more specifically CM 01/02. Seriously, try it. He's really good.

Nice goal.

3-1.

I'm surprised they haven't said that 4-1 on aggregate is a dangerous scoreline.

What the fuck is Clive blithering on about?

Just the players who've been booked tonight, so Scholes, Anderson and... Gibson?

Best goalie in the world again.

They're not doing very well.

Oh, Adrian. You do try hard to keep people interested in this match but the tie really isn't still alive.

"It's a lovely ball..." ...Clive says as Scholes passes it to a Schalke player.

Studs are showing. It's a yellow. Stop complaining.

Just get 10 yards back for Christ's sake. Pathetic.

A rather good game atm, surprisingly.

Decent.

Hmm.

Great ball by Gibson.

1-0.

Bardsley's decent. No more than that.
