Sounds like a typical Meireles goal.

Buffon maybe but Neuer and Hart? Naah. They maybe good goalkeepers but nowhere near enough Cech's level yet.

Just came across this. Skip to 4:52 and OMG! Look at that smile!! :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPhAxZIJwjk&feature=relmfu

Dear oh dear.

That would be the 'Flying Dutchman'. And, thanks! Now, just need to find the video scene for that!!

Need some help here. Anyone remember which Pirates of the Caribbean film had the one Jack Sparrow talking to 2 of his tiny little self?

Really don't see the need to create another Torres thread to discuss the same issues like that. Unless it's a big big news on he's being sold etc, just discuss it in his player thread. Merge!

Are you AVB in disguise? He only said one short simple thing and you replied with something long, extreme and being rather emotional.

Even he still has his doubters. It's only because we have 2 strikers now and Torres isn't exactly firing on all cylinders that elevated Sturridge into some god-like/fan-favourite status.

At this rate, I don't think everyone of us is gonna be happy with the strikers that we are gonna get/have in the future.

Yes but if you remember, Chris Hughton got a draw last time he visited the Bridge in the FA Cup last season with his Birmingham side. Forget the circumstances we had under AVB then, we really struggled to break them down that day because of their defensive solidity. Moreover, in our last home game, we took ages to get the goal against Stoke. They defended well and even created some decent chances on the break/set-pieces which we were lucky not to concede on 1-2 occasions. Norwich have some decent players who can cause us problems as they shown against Spurs earlier this season when you're not playing at 100% and focus on the task at hand. Also, you get all this lesser sides raising their game when they play against the big boys. Yeah but they won't play until next Friday, which means they'll have some time off till then with only training on the agenda. And besides, they'll be playing 3-4 days before we face Spurs in two weeks time and that won't make much of a difference even if we were to play those players this Saturday.

There's actually another one November too but that one will just be in midweek rather than having two weeks off like this upcoming one.

Maybe that comparison is a little bit harsh on Ibrahimovic but Mancini's record in Europe has been really poor. Nothing much has changed for him at City so far...

City do not deserve that point at all. Was completely outplayed all night by Dortmund and would have taken all 3 had it not been for the ludicrous penalty decision by the referee. Utterly ridiculous for the ref to give when Subotic(IIRC) was only like 1-2 yards away and he could have hardly moved his hand away. Furthermore, it was ball to hand and not hand to ball FFS!!

Yeah. Heard that the ticket prices were too expensive.

Empty seats can be seen in the home crowd section at the Etihad and Emirates...

Zenit deserved something from the game but came up against an inspired Abbiati. Allegri & Milan would have to thank him for the 3 points.

That is probably a factor but it's not rocket science to know you have to be consistent and not being so fussy with the decisions.

Slightly off topic this... http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8136042/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

I thought he did alright in the first half. Nothing really went wrong. It's only in the second half where he began to act like a pussy. Never really play advantage and there was even an incident where he blew the whistle because one of the Nordsjaelland player's boot came off and we were in possession then!

He has been and is still one of the best goalkeepers out there today. It's only those bunch of people that ridiculously overreact and say he's a bad keeper whenever he makes a mistake!

Oscar and Luiz once again with the dance. Thank goodness we did not draw the game this time around...

Realized earlier that he was actually somehow in the middle of the penalty box when Mata scored his second goal of the night.

Have to say the referee - Marijo Strahonja - was absolutely terrible in the second half yesterday. Almost every challenges we made on the Nordsjaelland's players, he immediately blew his whistle for a foul. Must have received phone calls from Platini at HT. Some of the decisions were just shocking and they hardly looked like a foul. Take the Mata's first goal and the Moses that was ruled out for instance. Torres brushed off that player and got the ball in the buildup for Mata's goal. Strahonja didn't see it as a foul. And then for the Moses one, he went toe-to-toe with Okore(IIRC) and then he suddenly fell onto the ground when Moses barely even touched him and the referee deemed that as a foul and his goal was ruled out. Utterly pathetic!!
