Oscar's goal is the best I've ever seen live. To some it may just look like a simple "tap the ball forward a tiny bit, turn around, shoot", but it's much more than that, and honestly he was doing it against one of the world's best midfields and defence. The technique was incredible.

When Ronaldo first joined United, I always saw him as a genuine winger who wouldn't be anywhere near as prolific as he is now. I feel similar with Eden.. but I also feel that under Jose, Eden could reach that Ronaldo level without the diving, without the arrogance, double the confidence, half the cockiness, and perhaps even more the talent.

I was going to post this but didn't have big enough balls to

Should loan Josh to Watford next season along with Chalobah (if that's possible). I think he's failed (in a way) at Boro simply because they prefer to play without a playmaker. Very few teams in the Championship actually have proper roles for their players since they just want to find the win in any way possible. But Watford like using playmakers and Josh could be a slight upgrade to what they have currently.

Doesn't seem happy in the post-match interview.

If we win in Amsterdam we can still sing "Champions of Europe, we know what we are" next season

That £21m for Luiz doesn't seem so much now.

Luiz is shit in midfield..

Eh I kinda hate that from Cahill you know. Doesn't like to tackle. Just lets a player run past or pass by him.

Are you fucking joking Torres

What's that chant? Sounds like "There's only one Getafe" ....

When you have Xabi Alonso you have many players in one. An anchorman, a normal defensive midfielder, and then there's the playmaker in him. Playmakers typically get better with age like a fine wine. (See Xavi, Pirlo, Scholes). Alonso may have had more stamina in his Liverpool days, but he's a leader now with damn good decision-making and incredible vision.

Steve Holland has lost a few lbs.

In the final, Benfica would want 'revenge' against us. On the other hand, it would be the biggest game in the history of Fener's existence I believe. Lose-lose for us really, but I feel Benfica have the stronger and more clinical squad.

Which leads to a Basel attack. Hmph.

Bertrand not even running back after losing the ball :(

Torres walks in a really odd way when he slows down with the ball. His body shakes like jelly.

Eurgh. Would rather face Fener in a potential final than Benfica I think.

Ivan and Cahill need to stop fucking about. Worst centre back pairing we have.

Ramires must have one of these in his stomach:

Instead of debating whether he's better in defence or midfield which seems to cause some actual arguments, why not just be happy that we have such a versatile player who's capable as a stand-in defensive midfielder (and could probably stand in for even Mata given the chance! Who knows!) and a future (potentially) world-class centre-back? I think it's obvious his career will be made in the heart of defence, but at the same time, he'd improve almost any club in the world by playing in midfield. Just be happy we have such a talent at our club who gives us plenty of options and passion on the pitch. When Mikel isn't needed for a particular game or it's simply the wrong match for him, David Luiz the midfielder can play. When we need someone to slow down the match and Mikel starts, David Luiz the defender can play. I still really want to see him play as a striker though. He could be the next Pele IMO.

Mou always manages to squeeze just that little bit extra talent out of players, so just imagine Mata under him

Ibrahimovic has declared he's leaving PSG at the end of this season. Juventus are apparently front-runners to sign him with City interested. They're already getting Llorente aren't they, so Ibra and Llorente in the same team would give them 2 rather similar options. Big, powerful, good finishers.

As a person he was and is quite a bit of a dickhead especially regarding the Matthew Harding incident. As a businessman, he's cunning, ruthless, and without him we wouldn't be here today. It's hard to form a proper opinion on him IMO.

These papers and sites reporting that Mou has asked Lew to join us just won't quiet down will they? It's rare that such a story is reported in seemingly every corner of the globe for so long even after the manager of the player has denied such a similar claim. I think there's substance to it. I think if we get Mourinho the good days will return next season.
