YOU HAVE 4 GUYS OUTNUMBERING 1 OF THEM. WHY DO YOU ALL REFUSE TO TACKLE?!

Why is no one tackling? !?!?!?!? WHY ARE YOU STANDING STILL!?

What the fuck was that from Ramires? My cat would've kicked it better.

Back to the usual then with Ramires on the right and a double pivot who walk around casually.

Lampard and Mikel aren't fucking moving backwards at all.

David Luiz was literally our ONLY player running. Or even jogging.

Stop fucking ball watching!!!!

Ivanovic, why are you so far forward? You have no pace.

STOP STANDING STILL IVANOVIC, PLEASE!

ffs. Hazard needs to be central. Mata looks out of it so far.

WHY. CAN. PAID. PROFESSIONAL. FUCKING. COMMENTATORS. AND. PRESENTERS. NOT. GET. THE. DIFFERENCE. BETWEEN. "ATLETICO", "ATHLETICO" (not even a team) AND ATHLETIC?

Trequartista/Supporting Striker/Attacking Midfielder (in the hole).

Umm... no. It was his Champions League debut. That's all. He's played over 100 league games in his career (including npower Championship) and is 23...

is 18 and never played a professional game in his career.

Excuse my language, but why the fuck won't Robbie rotate!? What's wrong with slotting Romeu in for Mikel!? Why is Ramires, a central midfielder, starting on the right ahead of Moses and Sturridge (he's decent there, don't deny it)!? Meireles was pretty good with Mikel in the double pivot not too long ago. So if not Romeu in for Mikel, why not Meireles in for Lamps? Are we sticking with the same XI all season with 1 change at most each game?

Oh, and if Sturridge isn't on the bench... surely that means Moses, the closest thing we have to a striker, is, right? (See the problem now people? One injury to either Torres or Sturridge and we'd have no recognized striker to help out.)

Not at all happy about Ramires starting if true. Their left-back Filipe doesn't usually leave much space behind him, so if we counter-attack, Ramires won't get too much joy down that side. It's also risky playing Ramires, because he's a pretty awful passer, and one wrong pass can lead to Falcao's head somehow and them leading. Would have made more sense having Bertrand (again) starting on the left to limit Juanfran and then having Hazard down the middle; Mata right. I'm sorry, but I think Robbie's got this one wrong.

So. Damn. Excited. I'll be in a really bad mood if we lose this. I have a hunger for trophies since our CL triumph.

For the most part, the comparisons between Remy and Henry are pretty accurate. Remy however is probably less selfish than Henry, but also a lot less technically gifted. (I doubt/hope no-one is expecting him to become the next Henry if he signs!) Very useful player though. Can play in any attacking position, and play those positions very well.

...pardon me for asking; but where exactly did you see this?

I will wank into my own mouth (it can be done, I'm sure) if both Azpi and/or Moses/Oscar start this game

... That's like saying "WHY DID WE SIGN AZPILICUETA WHEN WE HAVE DAVID LUIZ?!"

Juventus. Are. Not. Pushovers. Honestly. Where has this rubbish come from that they're 'not that good'? Sure, Serie A isn't what it used to be, but it's incredible to go the full season unbeaten; and doing it with incredibly attractive football too. (Aside from when Borriello touched the ball .) It will be a very tight game. Buffon = Amongst the top 5 goalkeepers in the world. Pirlo = Probably the best passer in the world. (Xavi isn't quite as good as he's made out to be.) Chiellini = Well... I'm sure the Juventi on here will disagree, but he's quite tricky. He goes down easily sometimes around his own box to get possession back via. free-kick. Good pace for a centre-back. Giovinco = Incredible pace and dribbling. Vucinic = Almost unstoppable on his day. Vidal = In my opinion, the 2nd best box-to-box player in the world; just after Yaya Toure. Asamoah = Will break your legs if you piss him off. Marchisio = He's like an engine. He will not stop running. Even if you chop his legs off, he will run using his hands. Barzagli = Probably the best central defender in Serie A last season. Certainly amongst the top 10 central defenders world-wide last season. JUVENTUS. ARE. NOT. GOING. TO. BE. EASY.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. MOUTINHO WON'T ACCEPT TOTTENHAM'S OFFER MUAHAHAHAHAHA. He'll probably end up signing, but at least he's not that desperate to join.

Malaga apparently trying to sign Romeu from us on loan. It would be great for his development in my opinion, but would let Barcelona see a lot more on him, increasing the chances of them re-signing him.
