He [Essie] misplaced a lot of passes. He passed it out of play more than once and a few times he passed it into a ManCity player only to have it rebound onto a Real player (dumb luck). Other than his passing he was fine.

Don't be surprised if he scores 50+ golazos.

Yaya Touré was anonymous for the first half and came alive during the second. I didn't even know he was playing till the commentator mentioned the fact after 30 minutes of play he hadn't mention Touré once. Essien was painfully bad and now I realise why he loaned out...

Pirlo has an epic beard. None of our players do. Juve have already won.

I never said it was a privelege to play Juve. And I don't feel priveleged I'm just appreciating the fact this is a big fixture against a big club...

I know...but what does that have to do with anything?

Win, lose, draw. I'm not too worried at the moment, I'm just appreciating the fact that Chelsea is playing a club with the stature of Juventus! Hell I can't even remember the names of the other two clubs in the group (no disrespect intended, I know there is a Ukranian team and Danish team), I'm just excited to play Juve. When the draw was being drawn I knew the moment that ball was picked up it had Juve in it, it was written in the stars (as Gary Neville would say). Juve have had some magnificent players at their club: Zidane, Platini, Trezeguet, Buffon, Nedved, Del Piero, Baggio, Cannavaro and an even more magnificent history. Let's make this match a part of Juve's storied history by thrashing them 5-0.

Shevchenko has started a career in politics.

No it means he hates it when people hate hate. Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate

So in other words you hate hate? Or do you hate hate hate?

You have a bit of wool on your shoulder. Typical fucking kiwi can't stay away from the sheep.

Asamoah plays at LWB right?

I killed myself once, but choping my head off with a chainsaw...I got better.

First I've heard of it. It would be one of those outdated laws the government couldn't be arsed getting rid of, it isn't enforced at all. For example in Australian it is against the law to change lightbulbs unless you are a certified electrician, but that law is not enforced at all.

@SeB, found a picture of you.

We will indeed. The third is usually the crowning achievement season... They will do well until UEFA uses FFP to strip them of all their assets and forces them to sell their best players. Until the break even, they will receive no prize money from any competitions.

Have you read all of my posts in this thread? Have you? Or just the one? Please before passing your almighty judgement go and read every single one of my posts in this thread.

What's the point of having a La Liga thread if the whole thing is just one giant circle jerk over Spanish football? With no ying there is no yang.

Play eight sweepers.

He isn't at Barcelona now is he? Ruud Van Nistelrooy was a midfielder when he debuted at Den Bosch, and what position is he famous for?

Genoa provided one of the most entertaing matches I've ever seen. Genoa 4 - Inter 4

Bentdetedner to come off the bench and score a hattrick.

I think he really loves it. Kind of like Ronaldo and stepovers.

Hmmm, I might scout this game. It would be hilarious if they lost.

I hate La Liga.
