    Own Up

    Daft twat near me has Butt on the back ffs. This years shirt and lettering anarl.
  4. Nights like that are exactly why you shouldn't fuck about playing weak teams in Europe for the sake of mediocrity in the league. European games should be savoured and given absolutely everything, class result for Fulham - absolutely delighted for Hodgson.

    Champions League

    Don't see the deal with Bayern at all. They shouldn't even be in the quarter finals tbh, scraped out of the group stages and then through the last 16 on a jammy offside goal.
  6. Same, really nice mix of teams in there.
  7. The great Colo vs Jonas goal battle is far more interesting tbh.
  8. Just got back, without a doubt Scunthorpe were the worst, and the most gutless opposition team I've ever seen at St. James' Park. We never got out of first gear and yet we could have easily got 7 or 8 without even breaking sweat. Absolutely pedestrian performance from us and yet we still ran rings around them for 90 minutes.
  9. No. He isn't a big name here and has never been linked to us. Our most spoken targets for that area are Silva, Ribery and Di María. Another usually mentioned option is shipping Iniesta there permanently with the signing of Cesc. Modric is a great player, but on the evidence of this season I'd like somebody a bit more direct. Currently only Messi runs at players in our team. Good. He was linked to you lot before he came to us, and he's a Barca fan. Out of those options i'd go with Ribery before Cesc tbh. Not saying he's a better player but he's more direct and no point shifting Iniesta out of position for a whole season (i know he's played that role before but still). He developed his career there actually, mostly because he couldn't get many games in the centre with Xavi and Deco. But he is a diminished player in the wing in my opinion. I've always disliked seeing Iniesta out wide. Barca always look better with Xavi and Iniesta in the centre together imo, I've seen games where Iniesta has started outwide and later been shifted centrally and subsequently the game has changed trememndously in Barca's favour. Just looks so much more comfortable there. Do you not think the left wing spot would be better filled by an out and out forward player rather than a winger/attacking midfielder? I mean Henry is no winger and he has played that position the last couple of seasons. I know the versatility of say Silva for example would mean he'd have little trouble slotting in on that side, but I always it feel it would be better to have a bigger goal threat there. What about Luis Suarez as an option there, scoring goals for fun in Holland (aye ana) cutting in from the left flank. Probably not as technically adept as say Silva but boy can he strike the ball. Guess it would be a gamble though, there's a chance he's not really of the highest quality.
  10. That shirt of hurt idea is fucking wank anyway imo. Would rather just donate money.
  11. Absolute tactical masterclass from Mourinho and Inter that. Say what you like about the gamesmanship from Inter at times, they were by far the better side. I really can't remember a clear cut chance Chelsea had in that game, or in the first leg for that matter (Kalou's pen shout maybe).
  12. 4-3-3. Nice one Inter, fingers crossed for a Turnbull horror show.
  13. He along with Messi practically carried Barca for the first half of the season, when the likes of Henry and Iniesta were miles out of form he was scoring goals. If his form doesn't pick up between now and the end of the season it starts to enter flop territory, but not yet.
  14. Torres - Zlatan - Messi in full flow.
  15. From what I've heard he's very much in the Palacios mould. If so, how is he gonna fit into your midfield? Then again, squad depth is no harm.
  16. Which cunts voted for the likes of Jose, Colo, Guthrie, Lovenkrands, Vuckic..
  17. Ooof. There's the media taken up for tomorrow then.
  18. Meh. Generally, there is less risk than other regions.
  19. Away to Palermo next week? That's a very tough game.
  20. Well that's a very irritating goal.
  21. Yeah, Madrid definitely need to get rid of that bloke like.
  22. Not to jump on stereotypes, but you genuinely can't go wrong with Scandinavian players. Fulham are a good example.
