I've not really followed this case due to a lack of interest but are we really considering taking the armband from a man who means to the club as much as John Terry for the sake of a message?

It's not even a question of confidence and finishing now, as people have pointed out he barely makes runs anymore and looks as lazy as a player could be. While the fact that he gets roughly 10 minutes against tired opposition could explain his inability to find form it does not in anyway excuse his workrate. You didn't see Danny having that attitude when he was getting the same treatment from Carletto last season.

Who? FFS instead of loaning him to a top Ligue Une side like those wanting him 12 months ago we're sending him to Malouda's newly promoted club?

Not really connected to Messi but I wanted to share this and it gives a very good idea of what the best are capable of.

Most blatant lack of counter-arguments I've seen on this board in months. Give it a rest.

I apologise for bothering. That's where we disagree. While I couldn't possibly defend the performance, we looked more than capable of taking the 3 points with us, and would have had it not been for an individual mistake.

Do you not know that succumbing to pressure in this manner is absolutely unacceptable? Are we arguing the performance or the two points lost?

I did expect him to be way behind the top keepers of the league but not 2nd to last. As always, stats do not tell the full story but Petr has this season at times been well below what is required of a keeper at a top club.

Lose 2 points due to an individual error. Blame coach. Get a grip.

"It's not a title-winning performance is it" hahahahah FUCK OFF

FFS TX. At least wait for the game to finish before having such an attitude. We beat City only 4 days ago...

Who the hell is commenting on ESPN? Biased cunt. Never a pen.

Cobe did it long before him.

English Defence League. In a nutshell he didn't like what he was reading in a socio-political thread.

Piazon's link-up play in tight spaces looks impressive.

Mata. I'd love to name a couple more but he's just a class apart.

-4 vs -2 according to my calculations... Formations are just numbers ; ) Not really the question. Getting as far in the competition as possible is very important in terms of status(=sponsorships) and CL revenue (tickets included)..

Napoli?! Fucking typical.. Fuck off UEFA, fuck off Michel

The new Neymar thread..

Preparing all age groups of players for a very specific football style is as important as having the ability to offer league football within the club structure. La Masia produces not only great players but mostly players very good for the Barcelona style.

More like scrapped unless I missed something huge.

Piazon looks too central and too deep to feel comfortable. The "quiet" guy on the left flank looks quite good.

Our centerbacks are a class apart.

Johnny Swift equalizes in the 6th minute.

1-0 to Doncaster from a set piece.
