I hate playing the CL in Saint George's Day. Very bad memories of the last time this happened.

Wtf, and that on the eve of a CL semi. Bayern are such devious cunts

he apparently was fantastic too but i haven't seen the game myself. He was fantastic indeed, very compsoed throughout and did some great interceptions. But has to be said that Levante's attacking play is pretty toothless since Martins left, Acquafresca doesn't bring what they need (mostly pace and directness). Still, Abi's performance was the greatest thing to take from last night: I would love him to resign, yesterday convinced me that despite all his health woes there's till gas in his tank

One thing I legitimately think about La Liga is that, nevertheless the two horse race at the top, the race for the CL is wide open every year. It's pretty much a closed shop in the PL and even Spurs are in danger of not making it this year either.

And the 3rd time in almost as many years. Also the 3rd time that I'll be the only one smiling the next (Mon)day at work. The only Bayern fan I know is an insufferable arrogant t***. He's been bombarding my facebook with gloating even before the draw. He's also from Singapore.

That would be 3 lost finals in a row for Bayern. Juventus-tastic.

Watching Bayern. I'm going to order some vaseline for Tuesday.

Nice too see Chelsea's lopsided transfer policy makes ours look well-thought and balanced.

Out of contract in the summer also?... Yes. For some reason Real Sociedad fans I know won't give him the time of the day though.

Anyway, my vote is for Paul Heyman.

Heh, the US will have better PL coverage than Spain now. I'll better move back there.

Surprised to see Montagnier getting so many votes, wasn't aware he was known outside La Liga. He had a rough start at Real Sociedad but they are one of the best teams to watch in La Liga right now.

Amorebieta used to be decent, but he's de-evolved into a clumsy oaf lately, possibly his head was turned as he ran down his contract to get a big money move, but he isn't the player he used to. Pogba linked to Real Madrid today in Marca, together with a few other DMs. Slow news week so they have to come up with something.

Feel better about this one. Just watched a RAW rerun and I just realized this lad looks like Paul Bearer's long lost son.

Hasn't had a good season, but injury hasn't helped. Yesterday was probably his best game of the season. Personally think he'll be great,but he needs time. Pleased about yesterday, Alexis was excellent too. I wish Tello had more to his game so he could be a fixture of the first team, but he was devastating yesterday. We need 3 wins in the next 7 games to clinch the title now.

Considering im not technically a NUFC fan Ill spare you guys the pain and go there myself to check. Its basically 9000 seperate threads all about the game, dont know if theyre so excited they cant contain themselves to one thread, or just lack the brainpower to organize everything into one thread.. Its quite laughable how small time they are, I mean one guy even went ahead to make a thread called "Best day of my life" and then write "by a country mile" in it. Imagine if they ever qualify for europe xD This lot are even worse than Espanyol fans. Way worse. Would probably top myself if Espanyol put 3 past us, mind.

Alexis has been mint the last few games, imho. Should be starting in the semis. I will even change my avatar if he scores today.

Thing is "El Loco" and stability don't seem to go hand-by-hand either. All things point to him leaving Athletic at the end of the season, with a divided dressing room. He's a genius manager mind, but man management isn't his forte.

When are Puyol and/or Mascherano due back? I thought you missed either of them massively yesterday, Adriano looked every bit an attacking FB at CB. Mascherano has an outside chance of making the second leg, same with Puyol. Absolute no confidence in facing any of the teams in the draw with just one fit natural CB, goes without saying. Would there be any chance Abidal could be risked? Anyway on the plus side I can now go and watch Barca reserves v Levante next week since it's been moved to Saturday. Hasn't kicked a ball in over a year and just survived a serious sickness. Can't see him getting anything other than feel good minutes. I'd die for a Dortmund-Barça semis or final.

:lol: I pulled that from The Simpsons, all credit to them

How much do they pad tax in Spain now? Remember that 28% rule that was threatened to be quashed a few years ago. It was quashed 3 years ago, except for contracts signed before it (like Cronaldo's, one of the reason's RM are dragging their feet on a new one). Now max tax is 54%

We were awful last night, no excuses about it. Still a half-lame Messi was enough to get us the semis but we'll need far far more than that to have a chance to lift the trophy. We have two weeks to regroup and get players back from injuries. We still have had some truly brilliant performances this season so certainly think we're not finished yet. Alba's class, one of our standout players this season. Bit of a cunt, yeah.

Thanks. Are we your favorite English club VI? Yeah. Mostly because of this place, really. Didn't really have much of an affiliation with it or any other English club before (always been a big fan of English football though).

Your team looks good, to be frank. Good luck
