I don't think it's a tough fixture football wise, but the 2000mi travel makes it very difficult on the players

I'm so glad uefa showed Messi and Ronaldo missing crucial penalties in that montage. They are sitting right there in the crowd :lol2:

So good to hear that theme song again... edit: omg that host is so hawt

What a self-important cunt. Just because he got lucky on guesses doesn't make 'fucktards' or 'gullible cunts' out of the people who were impressed by it...it just makes them as bored and/or interested in the goings-on of an active transfer market. He's the real fucktard if the only constructive thing he could put his mind to over a summer holiday was slaving over keeping a fake twitter account updated and looking/sounding legitimate. You know, instead of getting a job or applying himself to society or his education.

Brilliant opportunity to add some real substance to our cause this year. Nothing like bagging nice shiny piece of silverware at such an early point in the campaign

What a man, what a professional. Makes me delighted to see that he's reached the pinnacle of English football and can say he plays for the european champions.

Three things from around the league on Saturday: - Aston Villa is going down - AVB is a disease - Steve Clarke and Michael Laudrup look like they know how to manage a team

I think Mata played an essential role facilitating the runs and plays that Hazard and Torres were making. He was always making the penultimate pass that Hazard or Torres thrived on. Sexy football

Any idea why the NextGen game will be played behind closed doors?

From the Boro forum regarding McEachran's overall performance:

Give it a rest man. You obviously have no grasp on the complexities of web servers and the effects of fluctuations in traffic on such. The problem is not as easy as 'getting better servers' and it certainly isn't as affordable and painless as you seem to assume...and I'm not even considering the downtime and potential number of bugs that would linger for a considerable amount of time.

RVP was about 10 yards out, a tad left of center...low cross in from the left kinda bounced up on him, but he smashed it on the half volley across the keeper into the right side netting. Edit: Darn Sh0n3x beat me to it :tophat:

PL website says Jelavic won't play, auto-subs in Jack Colback. Sunderland game postponed...Jelavic scores

I heard last night on SSN that since Sky owns the premier league TV rights, the team that even finishes in 20th place will still earn more from TV than ManCity earned for finishing 1st.

He's one of those players you have to buy 2-3 years into a career mode. He ends up with like 90/90 pace, 85+ crossing, and 80+ on both tackles

Sure, he'll be a squad player more than anything... but I'm properly excited to have a player who plays on the right, who uses his right foot, and can actually cross the ball.

I think the were too distracted by the pace and precision of the build-up play that led to that goal. My word it was good. I think Cole's celebration afterwards was the best part. You can see just how much of a pure competitor he is haha

I think people are forgetting that his performance in the CL final was as big as the Drog's. FFS Drogba gave away a penalty in ET that Cech saved...and then he went on to correctly predict the direction of every kick in the shootout. But there's no need for me to remind us...we all know that. It's just a bit frustrating how disloyal some fans can become over a mistake. Fuck -- I kinda chuckled when it happened, probably because I can't remember a last time Cech actually own-goaled it like that

Don't even care if the goal was offside. Torres was in the right place at the right time...the type of forward play I guess we need for our formation.

GETTT INNNN

Chill the fuck out. Reading really lucky so far. I'm confident we will make a game of this still

Well fuck me sideways what a fucking header.

Champions of europe, we are we are!

Gawdamn those new dugout seats look so...classy
