Forget Messi, Man Mark Xavi!!!! Just saw Barca vs Madrid highlights. Xavi is the key. He had 4 assists in todays game and countless more for the entire season. The front three strikers get most of their supply from Xavi. If we can man mark him with Essien, we can cut their goal scoring chances and dent their game plan. Also, few of the goals were due to terrible defending for example, Diarra losing the ball and Casillas running out to clear the ball.

"Frank broke into the team young and, at first, he was a bit out of his depth. But he matured quickly and within a year was a regular fixture in the side. He scored countless goals and was popular. Along with Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole and Michael Carrick, a new batch of West Ham legends was emerging. The irony was that, on the pitch, he was frustratingly average. The emergence of Cole and Carrick in our midfield seemed to stunt Frank's progress. Despite being younger than Frank, they looked like better players than he was. As they grew in stature, his confidence seemed to shrivel." Now Doesnt this look very contradictory. First he calls him popular and says that he scored countless goals for them and then he says on pitch he was frustratingly average. Make up your mind you punks. "He'd manipulated his dad's departure to get what he wanted - a move to a bigger club, which happened to be one of our most bitter rivals. That's why West Ham fans don't like Frank." So now, he shouldnt even join your firecest rivals after hearing shit from you guys. Why would you care anyways after all you felt he was not as good as carrick, rio and joey? "When Frank left, many Hammers fans were happy to see the back of him" "Gloating about how he was now at a "big club" and saying Chelsea had better fans." Firstly, If I considered a Chelsea player shit i wouldnt care if he joins our fiercest rivals. And you mention many fans were happy to see the back of him. But when he became the best midfielder in the world at Chelsea, you started complaining. It was jealosy, frustration and contempt, how come the player we used to call shit, a player we were happy to get rid of became the best at on of our rivals' club?.

Bit rich after the ass spanking those kids got from us at Wembley a fortnight back.

I can see him glow in the dark.

I am expecting a 4-2-3-1 formation. With anelka on the right flank and Essien and Ballack infront of the defense. ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!!! no point being defensive in this game. It is definately going to be a high scoring match. We need to play high up the pitch and try to engage their defense as it is their weak spot. Also, the narrow and a relatively smaller pitch of Stamford Bridge will nullify the passing of barcelona and it will be more tough for them.

Cech, Mancienne, Ivanovic, Terry, Ashley Cole. Mikel, Belleti, Ballack, Quaresma, Di Santo, Kalou. Subs: Drogba, Stoch, Lampard, Essien, Alex, Boswinga.

So who would you drop out of Ivanovic, Bosingwa and Ashley Cole? I suggest, Ivanovic...He lacked pace on wings. But again he is a threat for corners and set pieces. Major Headache.

That scenario means there is no stabiltiy at the club for the next 7-8 yrs.

Hiddink busy till November, True. But if Russia qualifies he will be busy till July 2010. If russia fails to qualify we can have him back by november.

Again we are looking at a national coach who has no experience in club management at a top level. Every possibility of players being unfit by december and same Scolari like issue raising up. Id say, lets go for Rijkaard if Hiddink refuses to stay

I am not confident. I dont know how will we keep the clean sheet or even score more than them without conceding more.. Any draw would be bad for us. We have to score more than them and HAVE to WIN!!!

Marquez out of the season. Just read.

The last time Barca did not score ANY goal in a game was in their first ever match of the season.

Argentina in WC 06 beaten by Germans Holland Euro 08 beaten by Russia. Barca UCL 08-09 beaten by Chelsea? One common thing between Argentina, Holland and Barca was that they were playing the most incredible football and were expected to blow everyone in their path. Whats common between, Russia, Germans and Chelsea? They play more direct. So I am optimistic about stopping Barca.

2-2 for me. Its all about Barca and Messi. No one is talking about Drogba and Lampard and Essien. We have the best defense in Europe. Puyol couldnt handle Valencia strikers, so you can imagine what Drogba can do to him in his current form.

Well, Because Black Orange Black Orange combo looks nice. Black Shoes, Orange socks, Balck Shorts, Orange Jersey, Black cap

I am so glad.

Barca almost lost the game vs Valencia today. The referee and the linesman saved their arse and they got a draw. I hope the refereeing at Nou Camp is fair. We can beat them. I am very confident.

Can someone explain to me the logic of Playing a genuine RB at LB? I heard Boswinga it is finally, who will take the role to stop Messi. I know he is right footed and can stop Messi from cutting inside but so is Ivanovic.

Id be disappointed if we dont score by set piece. We have, Ballack, JT , Alex, Drogba, Ivanovic as the Aeriel threat. Barca have Puyol, Marquez, Abidal and Yaya? and Henry? Alves? Cant see how they will stop us at set pieces. I am beginning to be more confident about this tie than I was two weeks back. All we need is an away goal and play narrow to close gaps.

And We've conceded the least no. of goals in the league and have the Best defense in Europe.. So Bring em on.

Very Well Spoken there, Frank Lampard. That Guy is a Cunt. Frank loses his mom, his wife leaves him, his kids dont stay with him and this guy makes derogatory comments on a Radio station based on some Tabloid reports which we all know are shit. Lampard also spoke about The pic with the Mystery Woman in Las Vegas. Glad he put that to rest that he didnt sleep with her.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5222920,00.html Avram Grant has been approached by the Czech Republic Football Association with a view to taking over as national team manager. The Czechs sacked former coach Petr Rada and all of his coaching staff after disappointing results in the World Cup qualifying campaign this term. The team currently sit fourth in Group Three with eight points from six games and five points behind leaders Northern Ireland. The decision to offer the former Chelsea boss the job has caused mixed reaction from Czechs with many believing the job should not go to a foreign coach. "I can confirm this information, we have spoken with a person who officially represents Mr Grant," Czech FA vice-president Jaroslav Vacek said. Despite their recent poor form Vacek believes that the job is still an attractive proposition to candidates. "We still hear how the team degenerated, but it does have its quality and the new coach, if he succeeds, can make a good name by that," he added. Former England head coach Sven Goran Eriksson has also seen his name linked to the post after he was sacked from his position with Mexico last month. Looks like Cech will be reunited with his former manager.

The match pretty much was a borefest. I am kinda glad that we are now out of it. Untill today's game we were a bit in between now we are out. So I hope we rest some players at West Ham and get them fresh for the Barca game. I hope Mancienne gets a game at LB at West Ham. Hope Lampard and Ballack gets some rest as well.

So now its pretty obvious that Ivanovic will play at RB and Mancienne at LB. I hope Mancienne gets 10-15 mins at the lb position today and on the wekend.
