England fans may not like it but Terry being captain once again will make a possible retirement much harder.

Good goal. Had to watch the beginning of the video 5 times to realize it went in

Cosign every single word. A potential Fabregas-to-Barcelona transfer will make things even better in the summer.

RAMIRES!!!

It just had to be David fucking Luiz

Will be ridiculous if he gets real fire for that.

We seem to be more scared than them, and we're the side playing at home. Our mids can only pass the ball sideways when we're not on the counter. On the bright side Kalou's touches have been great.

Crossing my fingers for one of the rare times Kalou has a decent game as a starter. Hoping it's a 4-3-3 rather than a 4-4-2...

I might be a minority but I won't blame the board if he's asking for Sturridge money.

Borini on his move

That kind of logic is similar to that supporting the actions of Al Queda. Cheering for 9/11, 7/7, the Madrid train bombings etc. I'm won't claim it's wrong but it really is similar.

By our standards, 16k per week is quite good. And if he gets a 5 year deal it's even better.

What is it with football that makes speaking ones mind "mind games"?

Scouting players ≠ developing youthNot to mention that we've been through his "Ronaldo success" before.

5 in a single season. The new Liverpool.

Absolutely terrible draw as far as I'm concerned. Not surprising but I can't see why would anyone want a team of United's experience and sheer luck at this stage. We've got some time until the game and we better start creating chances from open play because we are not going to get any penalties against them in Europe, especially with them moaning about the last 3 league games between us. Fucking UEFA..

Think that's a general problem with mock-ups. They may look great on the screen but its hard to get them resemble a true shirt.

Indeed. Although I must say I still don't trust him defensively but he seems to have regained some of his acceleration.

Of course it matters who we draw. Getting a piss easy route to the final (à la United last year) could restore our European profile and earn the club the CL income that we missed last year. Not to mention that a possible Torres goal in the semis would be a dream for our marketing team.

What the fuck is Rob Bagchi on ?

I'll be surprised if he ends up in Wales. Can Swansea even afford his wages?

What are the odds on us drawing an English side? It sounds like a pretty safe bet to me.

Ancelotti confirmed that Torres, Malouda and Essien will start against ManCity. Therefore I expect: Cech Brana - Luiz - Terry - A.Cole Ramires - Essien - Lampard - Malouda Anelka Torres At least we now know what Carletto thinks our first XI is.

Apparently he'll join Swansea on loan
