Great player, but we don't need him.

I don't think there's any kind of plot against Chelsea with refs

The moment AVB realised Kalou's no good.

Fabregas will obviously not be an immediate starter, but what he does, is maintain the core of Barcelona. So far their core is Xavi (31) & Iniesta (27). And soon it will be Fabregas (24) & Thiago (20). It makes sense..

Aguero's scored more goals in 20minutes than Torres has in 20games

Good on him for saying all that. Wenger's been very important in his development so it's good to see him pay that deal of respect.

One could argue, Kalouda will be in there because of lack of alternatives. It's a thin argument, but valid.

Haven't seen much of Hazard. Anyone want to sum up his main attributes, strengths and weaknesses?

Indeed, though the chances of it happening? Slim. Well, the midfield could, but I don't see AVB using Bena on the wings yet.

I'm of an opinion that it's too far fetched for us to offer Kakuta in return. I do hope I'm proven right.

Falcao open to Leti move

Cech Bosingwa - Alex - Terry - Cole Romeu* Ramires - McEachran Anelka - Torres - Benayoun** *Mikel **Malouda

Spain got knocked out of the U20 World Cup last night. Oriol should link up with us this week then.

Definitely. Still can't believe he played despite that. Imagine the emotions he was going through, especially if he'd have scored that goal. I think we can all understand if he heads back to Nigeria soon.

Oh wow, and he still played 90minutes today? What character from him. Poor guy though, unimaginable how much stress he must be under.

If Joey Barton played for Real in this game.. All hell would break loose!

Callejon's attempt to take Marek Hamsik's hair do, has not gone well xD

Valdez is one dirty cunt

I like Real because of Ronaldo.. Love him since he'd left United & under Mourinho he's become really mature. Less theatrics & diving from him.

Byebye Fiberglass!

Great strike from Xabi. Great match now.

...what a goal

I thought I'd receive a bit of backlash from that Shawcross comment. I think he's a good defender, but lacks discipline. I'm not sure why Pulis hasn't controlled that yet, maybe he is? But when he's got a cool head he's a very good defender. Can read the game well & will mark his man. lentherussian - There's no use in talking about the Ramsey incident, such things happen in football.. There's no way he meant to injure Ramsey like that, he's not Stephen Hunt.

What a great goal by Ozil! I'm enjoying this game, Valdez made a great save before. Great finish by Ozil.
