No matter who you loan out, you don´t loan no one out to your fiercest rivals. Simple as. Benayoun could´ve been handy in our creativity lacking midfield and link-up play with the strikers.

I like the goalie top. Cech sais it is a bit like the one Bonetti played in. Maybe I get one myself acutally.

Robbie DiMatteo should turn into Malcom Tucker in the dressing room if they dare to perfom like against Wigan or Fulham.

To be fair, the first two goals by Ronnie were quite well taken. Callejon, maybe. But Courtois is a young goalie who established himself at one of Spains bigger clubs, so let´s not jump the gun here. Not the best night for him, but Real/CR are just a steamroller of a team.

win it. Oriol would at least inject some pace and positive passing in midfield. Should´ve gotten into the starting line up instead of Mereleis. Dreadful display. The pen maybe wasn´t one,but it totally came against the run of play. After this performance we should be happy with a point.

any decent streams around ?

i heard. it´s not just the refs but also the linesmen. really poor display by some of them.

poor refereeing the whole weekend. just goes on here.

Totally. If they do, hopefully we can capitalise in that.

What a goal by Bennet. Sweet strike !

Yes, they should´ve been steamrollerd more often after the City game. That was a United performance that is more likely given the way they play and the quality of their team. It just shows that the state of the other teams.

Had a handful in Victor Moses, but dealt good with him i think, given that he pretty much was thrown in the deep end against such a physical force. His crosses and runs on the sideline were promissing. Like him alot as a player, clearly he went to the Ashley Cole School for Advanced Left Back Studies.

They guy has to much class and cool for City anyway. Would be huge risk to take him abord, but he is a very creative and talented footballer. And an enigma, a masterclass of a riddle. Mind, Mancini said that Tevez was finished.

How would have a different result changed something about that ?

What is it with Arsenal lately ? Surely they couldn´t have turned into a decent team ? Very annyoing, i liked the Arsenal of old better, the one that collapsed around christmas and was loosing to Blackpool (no disrespect) away and home and so on.

We probably didn´t deserve to win this or even get a draw out of the game, but i so don´t care. If one of the Manc teams did it that way everyone would shout "stuff of champions". We did it, made hard on ourselves, but lots of the players actually looked very leggy and tired. As much as Mata should have a rest, we simply can´t afford to rest the guy. We just need him so much for some sense of creativity. Torres looked good, but what was that slipping there in the penalty area ? Man of the Match: Bertrand or Cahill for me.

What was the result of the corresponding fixture last season ?

would be a shame losing Romeu after such a short but promissing spell.

Can´t do nothing else than playing the best they can. I am sure the boys will be in the right state of mind against this shower. The tricky thing is that FA Cup game against Spurs. Wether we gonna rest a few key players or play a nearly full strength team and go on to secure at least one final? I don´t know. Players like Mereleis, Malouda and Essien have to step up their game for the Spurs match as I expect them start. Oh my, it is squeaky bum time, certainly. But the astonishing thing is that we are in this position in the first place. I wouldn´t be dissapointed if we lose to B-Lona, if it was under fair circumstances, but win the FA Cup. Having said that, it would make up for a lot of pain that we sufferend in ´09. Hopefully Drogba will be up to his best and fucking disgrace them.

oh no, fucking no. the worst of timing.

spot on. That has to be changed anyway, for a number of reasons.

I think that there is the part that the institutions play in fighting against racism,sexism and antisemitism but then there is also the individual behavoir of the fans, the players everyday that matter to be changed. Whishfull thinking, i know. Like Chelsea (do other clubs do it as well? ) did against Tottenham to install extra secruity staff to make sure that the chants against jewish people weren´t going is a very good thing but it just puts the lid on some of the peoples behavior and they might go on and sing these things in the pub anyway. As i was saying, it is one thing to relay on the FA, but it is another to take documentaries like these seriously and try to cut out the bullshit, basicially.

Do we have a schedule yet for the Barca game ? Sorry, just found it. Nevermind.

yep the hetero camouflage.

Disgusting. The middle name does him justice.
