Apart from buggering up that shot, thought Klasnic was excellent.

Can't remember seeing many better ones ever tbh.

A lot depends upon our injuries.

Its not. It will be tight, competitive, and physical. I doubt there are many goals in it, and Lucho is better than anyone ManU will be displaying in midfield. Inter-Bayern should be a good encounter between two midtable sides in their respective leagues. Absolutely. Anyone who thinks there's easy games at this stage is either a fool or deliberately building a straw man. well chelsea cophenhagen is a bit easy I dunno, Chelsea are starting to get some form and players back.

Aye. Reckon it'll be a hell of alot closer than most are saying it will be, and Barca will nick it by a goal. Wasn't there all this carry on when Arsenal drew Real a couple of seasons ago? And Arsenal defended well and ended up nicking it? They had Terry Henry then though. Who the f*** is Terry Henry? That's probably the only bite that has EVER got in the Internet. Congratulations.

While I'm on it, apparently Jenas may be back, although Palacios and Kranjcar are now injured (not that that makes any difference to people's fantasy teams).

Physioroom.com is the best to keep uptodate on that kind of stuff. Was in training this week, I'd expect him to be a sub if we play - although as it's Blackpool I don't know if the pitch will pass muster.

Vilarreal, Zenit, Spartak, Twente, Ajax, Braga, Stuttgart, PSG, Porto, Sporting, CSKA, Leverkusen, Kiev and one of PSV or Metallist. Thanks - well you never know, there are a couple in there that look awkward. I'd love to see them go out of both cups, then try to keep everyone happy.

Still lower than ours, give them time I guess. Maybe not any more, what is yours? This guy usually makes for good reading (despite being an Arsenal fan): http://swissramble.blogspot.com/search/label/Manchester%20City Just edited my post, our wage bill is 220m euro (185m pounds). This however, includes the wages of all our sporting sections (football, basketball, handball, roller hockey, etc...). Cheers.

If Man City get through in second, who could they face?

The blog Swissramble.blogspot.com pulls them together. As said above, 133M in 2009/10 (107% of turnover). By way of comparison, Man U's was 132M (46%), Arsenal's 111M (50%) and Spurs' 67M (56%). Remember, this is last year's figure. Some others from the previous year - Chelsea 149M (68%), Liverpool 90M (57%), Aston Villa 61M (77%), Everton 49M (62%). City's will almost certainly have gone up loads for this year, although increased turnover will offset it somewhat. It would be nice to think that Tevez leaving will mean they miss top four, but even if they do it will not make much difference (other than guaranteeing a Mancini sacking).

Major League ftw.

I'd forgotten Man City even had some of these players. What an insane squad.

Chelsea, Spurs and Man U in the top four? What a f***ing pisstake that is We're fair enough, we don't foul people enough. Chelsea are top for respect towards referees though, which is an utter, utter lie.

This should be in here, frankly. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/dec/10/barcelona-shirt-sponsor-qatar-foundation Still can't believe how transparently outrageous this is.

We've been watching MOTD for years and years and saying the same things. When are they going to listen?

Still think piss-drinking vs Nolan getting 8 beats that. He didn't even get out of 2010.

Well we're nothing if not entertaining. I'm off for a lie down. Honestly, would have taken a draw before that, but what a soppy goal to give away.

Come on you shower of shite, COME ON.

Oh ffs.

Oh ffs.

Didn't kill the shot. A real keeper would have taken that in the bollocks if it meant saving it. As much as I don't like Spurs, I enjoy watching them. As much as I love them, watching games this open every bloody week is terrifying. Makes it more fun, yeah? The Keegan era was like that, you'd but shitting yourself out of sheer enjoyment and terror. Hey, I grew up with some bonkers Spurs teams too. The 86-87 team would have been the best of the lot, if Richard Gough had stayed. He didn't, the defense went to pot. Difference is, I'm too old for this now, and I'm now on an American diet so my arteries are crying.
