Rambo is suspended.

Except for the bayern united tie, the rest 3 are going to be very competitive. Chelsea - psg is a 50-50 (51-49 due to jose). Atm should get more credit than they are getting specially against a team that they have faced thrice this season and have drawn all 3. Alsi that atm are actually liga toppers at the moment. I expect a brilliant 180 minures and won't be at all suprised if atm came thru the tie. Rm have once again shown that they are big game chokers. 1 point from a possible 12 against the only teans worth mentioning in the la liga. Their defence is a joke and attacks is based on moments if magic rather than actual plays or even link up. I mean bake was tge perfect example of that last night. Non existebt for 89 minutes but those 2 runs that he made, one in each half were just out of the world. So while RM are definite favourites, I would still say that bvb have a decent chance is they can keep the wungers quiet. Specially if bvb are clinical upfront. They will get a buck load of chances agaibst that defence.

If not, then what is the ref supposed to do?Like I said, the defender reduces the chance of scoring but still gets away with fouling. In the end, if a striker is thru on goal, a defender can foul a striker and yet the defending team is in a better position than before the tackle which is just absurd. You have to understand that a red + a pen is given ONLY in situatiins where a defender is deemed to have stopped a clear cut goal scoring oppurtunity. Xabi was not given a red last night for a foul on iniesta and neither was alves. It is only the most obvious goal scoring oppurtunities which are generally deemed to be a red + pen offense.

First thing first, ox was not even a "questionable" decision compared to the dive of neymar. It was a clear cut red and a disgraceful action. Intentionallu handling the ball dearrves a red.Now for the last man tackle/fouls while debying clear goal scoring oppurtunity (which I think was the xase last night) , while I except that sometimes they can be harsh, but u have to accept that they do make some sense. I mean like someone said above, say the conversion rate of a pen is 80% in the world (4 out of 5), and you just give a pen or a pen + yellow, then the defender is commiting a foul and still reducing the chances of the striker scoring fron 100% to 80%. Which is what will happen if the refs stop givng reds for denying goalscoring oppurtunities. Hence, I have to say, the rule should defo stay.

Massively disagree. What ox tried to do warranted a red card. I mean INTENTIONALLY putting hand on ball is disgraceful.Defenders make a proffesional foul , sonetimes intentionally fouling a pkayer but sometimes with the intention of putting a last ditch tackle to avoid the goal, But they are red carded if they are the last man and have stopped a goal scoring oppurtunity. But atleast those are still proffesional fouls. What ox did was like I said before, disgraceful. I mean look at suarez and the impact it had. That handball from ox deserved a red card n a penalty

Happy bday rambo. Hope you can regain your start of the season form soon.

A lot depends on city's next four fixtures. The villa gane really pecked us back

Salah is the cover for willian.

Can't make out what the quote was the that guy's shirt. Keep calm and finish??????Any idea?

Its since 2008-09. Jose got that job in 2010.

lol

Pathwtic league. Pathetic teams. Barca look shit defensively and simply can't do shit wothout ref. Real are over-rated and heavily dependent on moment of magics rather than having an actual play.

Not at all. Everyone expected an easy 3rd or 4th. No one expected pool to be fighting for the title and that is over- acheieving.Plus this might mean they get a manager who has the balls and intelligence to spend in the market fee and get players while changing their style of play. Infact it just goes deeper than simply buying players or even results. This arsenal team has no character. No fight, no passion. I mean everyone simply accepted this for a fact that arsenal will choke sooner or later and they dint disappoint. Add to that the mental block they have against big teams and wenger's amateurish tactocs to try and play a particular brand of football regardless of the opposition and it simply is not something I personally would want to change. Can't see how a new manager with a decent budget would be any worse than what wenger has been.

Nnnnnnnnooooooooo!!!!We want you to stay, we want you to stay. Arsene wenger, we want you to stay

For the first time in YEARS... I am supporting barca. Want ATM to win the league.

Hope he is there against psg

4 points does seem like a lot but be patient. 2/3out of those 4 might be dropped on tuesday itself. What we have to do is keep winning the games and hope for city to choke against united, soton, arsenal, everton, pool.

Pjanic, kroos , gundogan etc etc will replacr lamps. Not mikel. Mikel is our 2nd dm (more like 4th or 5th) but still a replacement for matic. Think chalobah can get that role after mikel is sold in the summer (which seems more and nore likely).

put the guy in the cebter of the field and he ll always be fantastic.

damn

How long is silva out for???

Anything to say to lionsden??

Fuck u arsenal!!!! Fuck u!!! Up your fucking ass. Bloody wankers. What a match. Perfect absolutely peefect, well except for the etoo injury. Hope it's not serious cos he is essential. Jose got his tactics perfect yet again. We pressed them really high up the pitch. Forcing them into conceding the possession. After the early goal otself, the result was decised and was a mere formaliry after the red. Cech - was brilliant. That save from giroud was very vital and the one drom rosicky later on too. 8/10 IVA- brilliant perdormance. Provised the width late in the match and put in some good crosses. Tackle steal on the line was just brillant. 8/10 Gc and JT- solid as ever. Were not under any pressure and dealt with everuthong well. 7/10 Azpi- stop running u wanler!!! 80th minute or so, arsebal get the ball, hazard has stopped pressing but this MACHONE was closing down jenkinson. Damn this guy. Add to that, the cross field ball to schurrle. Oh god!!! 9/10 Matic- brillaint.just fabulous.he ll be the per fect player If he can get that passing range. 9/10 Luiz- very good performance. Some might say a "headless chicken" perfornance but he seserves a lot of accolades for today. The difference was evident when mikel came on. We stopped winning rhe 2nd balls and harryong them in possession. 8/10 Schurrle- motm. Really coming into his own now. Got stuck into the arse players. His movement is just delicious. 9/10 Oscar- good peformance. Coming bacl to form a bit. Neat finish for the 4th goal. Another job on arteta done. Good day in th e offics. 8/10 Hazars - very meh!!! Just was not that involved. Almost a jog in the park like perdormance. Still had his moments like the initial ball to schurrle which was offside. 6/10 Etoo- damn this guy keeps getting bettet and better. That finish was a top top top finish. Really set the tone for the match. Will be gutted if he is injured for a long time. 9/10 Subs- Salah- good confident perfoemance. Reallt good run and brilliant finish for the goal. Dribbling was pretty good too.8/10 Mikel- meh!!! Nothing much to say. Torres- good gane. Thw game to his liking rab behind thw arsebal defence. He is good in space but we rarwly play such a game. Should have scored though.

Pleaee. For the love of god give him an extension.

Very important not to drop points here. One week rest too (a rarity). Can't even be botheres to guess the tean cos I simply never get it right. Hope united can do us a favor by making coty drop a couple or a o points.
