Tooj Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 If Mascherano plays, Arsenal will go through. Aye. Busquets is far superior him in that role. He adds so much to that team, a bit like Pedro in the fact their crucial to how Barca play, yet they don't get the plaudits that others around them do.

Village Idiot Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Barca are favourites but I don't think they'll win that clearly. They've not exactly been in top form the past couple of weeks - maybe some fatigue is catching up with them. We always lower our performance in february-early march. Our fitness planning usually intends to peak around december and then april-may. Just happens that we got a hard CL tie in what's usually not a key month.

BeloEmre Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Lille might be made to pay in the 2nd half for only scoring 1 here. They've been by far the better side. Yeah, played some brilliant stuff in the first half. Gervinho could almost have ended the match if he had scored in the last minute there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 When's Puyol back? Thought he was only supposed to be out for 2-3 weeks, feels like he's been out for ages. His injury has always been "no return date", he is reportedly close to full recovery but not just yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Ferguson refuses to speak to media after Liverpool game Sir Alex Ferguson refused to speak to media rights holders following the game at Liverpool on Sunday which Manchester United lost 3-1. The United manager did not speak to host broadcaster Sky Sports, radio rights holders TalkSport and the club's television channel MUTV. His assistant Mike Phelan did not carry out his usual post-match engagements with the BBC. The decision not to talk to the media was made before the game. Should any of the media organisations complain to the Premier League, the governing body would be forced to act. Ferguson has not given a post-match interview to the BBC since 2004 after a BBC Three documentary about his son Jason, who was then working as a football agent. The Premier League was due to discuss Ferguson's BBC boycott, which is in contravention of its rules, late last year, but if any fines were imposed for his non-compliance they have yet to be made public. However, it is believed no media organisation has ever lodged an official complaint over the issue. Ferguson cancelled his pre-game briefing on Friday in protest at the coverage given to his post-match quotes at Chelsea on Tuesday for which the Football Association charged him with improper conduct . His action was also prompted by the furore that surrounded Wayne Rooney's elbowing of Wigan's James McCarthy last weekend. Ferguson said he had "feared the worst" when referee Martin Atkinson was appointed for the game at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea, which United lost 2-1 after leading at half-time. He denies the charge and will have a personal hearing at a date no later than 25 March. The Scot also has two matches of a four-game ban from last season hanging over him after remarks about referee Alan Wiley. It is not yet known whether the media blackout will continue this week, ahead of United's FA Cup quarter-final with Arsenal, although discussions are bound to take place behind the scenes. However defender Rio Ferdinand, who was not at Anfield as he recovers from a calf injury, offered his opinion via Twitter. "Bad result today, no excuses," he said. He should be charged again. No doubt he won't be though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 So it was more related to his improper conduct charge than the loss. So childish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I see Ferguson didn't talk to any of the media after the game, not even the club's own TV channel. Banned his players from doing so as well, according to Dan Taylor at teh Guardian. Not surprising when you consider the result & the aftermath of his post match Chelsea chat. That is the problem with people in this country most want to hear what the cunt is going to say but when he is a cunt people get upset. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
