I honestly can't see him succeeding like he did at Barca anywhere else. He had 2 of the best players to ever grace a football pitch (Messi and Xavi IMO) (oh and Thiago while I'm at it ) which he will not have anywhere else. They are 100% Barca and won't leave. However, the success that they got put massive confidence into the minds of most of the other players which has given them an almost fearless attitude. They believed that they were the best which is why they were the best. This year though I think that Guardiola has struggled to motivate himself and consequently the players as well. They have not performed as well. Iniesta and Pique are notable examples. Pep is not the sort of person that can build a footballing empire from my point of view because he has struggled to motivate himself after a few years of incredible success which I guess could be natural- what is the point in trying if you have already won it last year? If he can get some special players at his next club he can motivate himself and the others and be successful but i don't see him being as successful ever again. He is 100% Barca. Apart from at Barca he has made only 56 appearances for other teams and with Barca's passing philosophy he has never been truly exposed to other styles of play.

he deserves a lot of respect today for making the big call of putting Bertrand in. It payed off because he was man of the match and I'm 100% sure that AVB would have put Bosingwa at right back for this game. RdM has put faith in bertrand and it is working

Torres continues to play crap yet still gets more support from the crowd than Didier. A lot of the time it is like he is blameless for everything. He was shocking today and his work rate very poor. Sturridge was also awful and should spend the next 2 weeks alone passing a ball against a brick wall until he can actually kick a football to somebody else's feet to be fair to Malouda he does get a lot of unfair criticism. I thought he looked good going forward today and on most occasions his hard work was ruined by Kalou doing something stupid. He does always try and you have to remember that without him we certainly would not have won the double. He was very positive today and was interacting with the fans at corners which shows that he does care.

He is only 18 and Drogba was a very late developer, he didn't make a real breakthrough until he was about 23. If Lukaku gets the chance then I am convinced that he will be better than Drogba because he seems to have a natural head start learning from Drogba and physically he is more or less the finished article. Like you say though, he has not been given a chance in the PL yet
-
The players can be very proud of themselves. All of them put in a great shift for the team above all Cahill, Cole, Ramires, Cech and Drogba who had a long night all alone up front. It was always going to be difficult but he was incredible and showed that he can still be world class

Disruption of minutes silence at Semi
Liquidator replied to Changingman_2000's topic in Matthew Harding Stand
People calling them 'scouse cunts' for some of them reacting angrily on forums and the radio is just stupid. We are moaning that all of them seem to think the world revolves around Liverpool yet we are being hypocritical by saying that all of them seem to think that. Just like we have a few stupid 'fans' chanting 'murderers' during the minutes silence they have a few 'fans' chanting things about Munich. Every club has some stupid fans and I can guarantee that most Liverpool fans do not chant 'Munich' and think that the world should revolve around them in the same way that 99% of Chelsea fans know that respecting the silence is the right thing to do. Almost all supporters of both clubs know that the actions of a minority are disgusting. You cannot say things like 'it was their fault' and 'the scouse cunts had it coming' because you are making a stupid generalisation that all of the Liverpool fans who had their lives taken from them were disgusting people. How can people call the victims 'cunts' and other horrible things like that without knowing who they were? A lovely father who just loved football could have died that day, a 12 year old boy who would never see his friends and family again as well. These are humans not 'Scouse twats' etc. . You will most likely find that the majority of the victims were lovely people who had their lives taken prematurely and therefore it is sickening to think of those people in a horrible way because of a minority of Liverpool fans and also because the people who died were Liverpool fans. These are human beings who went out to see a football match and never came home to their families. -
Livorno midfielder Morosini dies during Serie B game

I always go to Sainsburys in Fulham Broadway shopping centre and buy a drink that costs under £1.50. Not really a matchday superstition just me being a tight bastard

Navas suffers from chronic homesickness and therefore will not move from Sevilla.

I think that this could come across the wrong way but I doubt that the minutes silence on Sunday will be anywhere near as well respected on Saturday when Liverpool are playing. This is because unlike for Liverpool it will not be seen as something as personal to the club and fans of Chelsea and Spurs. Whilst I appreciate that Hillsborough and its victims should always be remembered is it practical to have all clubs, most of whom do not have a strong connection with the incident to respect it in such a thorough way that Liverpool do?

It would be better IMO if we had a 'true' transition season where Lukaku, McEachran, Bertrand etc. all get regular starts in the league. It will be to our benefit in the future if we have a good young core of players playing together from a young age. Look what Barcelona do with their young players- they take a gamble and give the likes of Tello and Cuenca. If they are playing for their club from as young an age as possible they will learn more. Having said that I think we undoubtedly need a winger who can actually cross. Jordi Alba would be a possibility although if we really want proven quality I would try to get Di Maria. A skilful players who will run at people without falling over his own feet like Kalou, very capable of using both feet, can cross and can finish. What I find most frustrating is that the likes of Real Madrid, Man U etc. are able to go out and find quality like Di Maria, Nani, Higuain from smaller clubs yet our board and scouting network is absolutely hopeless and would rather go and sign Deco and Kalou. We have made very few true quality signings in the last 5 years. Ivanovic has probably been our best signing since 2007. Does our board genuinely think it would not be a good idea to set up a large scouting system and youth academy in a talent hotspot like South America like what Porto and Benfica do? Look at the quality which Porto have got cheaply through their South American scouting. We are lagging way behind these clubs in terms of our scouting.

To be honest without that red circle I would never have noticed a difference between the two badges
-
The marking for their goal was a disgrace. Lampard, Bertrand and Ramires all on the front post with only Bertrand doing what he was supposed to be doing- being on the front post. The other two just stood aimlessly watching as the ball went straight over their head

I sing but I don't start off chants. I never leave early because I don't live too far away from the ground so don't have to worry about the last train or things like that and because the time I do leave early will be the time that I miss something. I also stay if we are losing heavily because it is when we tend to have a better atmosphere Favourite chants anyone? Can't beat 10 men went to mow IMO

Shed Upper seems to be getting better as well during the time when MHL was getting quieter. I sit in Shed Upper and for the amount of people sitting here it is definitely louder than MHL per person to amount of noise made
