SAF shouldn't have rested Webb today tbf.

What the hell happened to Wayne Rooney? Did he have a twin brother who's fucking wank?

Luis Enrique? True, Sir Bobby used him as forward but Van Gaal played him on right midfield. To be frank he played every-f***ing-where he wanted to so it's hard to pin down. Koeman would be the last CM to reach 10+ goals a season I think, and that's because he took pens and set pieces.

I can't fucking remember the last time a Barça midfielder scored double figures tbf.

Any reason for the chicken celebration? Also, this is already Nolan's most prolific season already. I had him as good as finished two years ago after he signed for you but it's good to see him having a new peak

Isn't Nolan a Bolton product?

A reverse Nigerian? He's got alopecia Might be my Liverpool friend tricking me. But he told me once "poor Spearing, he has that sickness that Mel Gibson had in that movie where he gets old". We were both drunk, mind... Shelvey has alopecia, Wiki says Spearing has progeria, but people with that rarely live into their twenties. Guess it's a common joke between Liverpool fans I guess, I found nothing outside wikipedia so I guess it's vandalized.

Doesn't Spearing suffer from that premature aging sickness?

Agger is world glass.

RvN saying that going to Real Madrid would be "a dream made true". Dude, you spent three seasons there already

I don't know, both your forwards had to feed on long balls and scraps all game long, with the (very) odd winger run. I thought they managed at least to be a nuisance all the same, I wouldn't fault them.

Well my record stands. Have yet to watch a game that you lose since I started following your lot last season.

Loved that turn and shot that went inches from the post and that backheel. Leonel Besstie.

They were all songs and flags for Dalglish when he came out like. They had one flag with all their glorious managers faces on it, though it looked like some oppressive Soviet Union flag. Their fascination with their managers' iconography always reminds me of tin pot dictators actually http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5hDFu2z_gtY/TROBDKV8G_I/AAAAAAAAAVE/b4BngDCUEow/s1600/rafa-benitez-pa_1356726c.jpg http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:uZxr1fYFdL5R8M:http://cache4.asset-cache.net/xc/1771051.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=77BFBA49EF878921F7C3FC3F69D929FDFFBD76ED3645E353C396CA5D4A119C41A6D7FA9E00BB2834E30A760B0D811297&t=1

Best looking like a handy footballer today.

Lionel Besstie.

Nice turn by Best.

Your midfield is being a bit wasteful, punting the ball as soon as it gets to their feet. Should try to keep it and slow the tempo.

Peach of a deep cross that.

Get in

So much hoofing to get forward...

Today's derbies so far

Woodgate debuted at Real Madrid with an own goal and a red card. Pretty sure Vítor Bahía and Julen Lopetegui had dreadful debuts for Barça, but I have erased them from my mind.

Romário debuted with a hattrick against Real Sociedad. Best Barça debut I can recall. Such a player
