Heh can't argue with Choulo there But seriously Torres would score double Gomez in the Bayern Team Fuck me even at 36 and a few stone overweight I reckon I could score 1/2 of Gomez's goals

So glad Alba misses the next game and so love the 'dirty' moaning Barca scum! They just CANNOT handle being beaten!! Muahahhahahahahaha Best night for ages now roll on Thursday and do us proud boys I'm waiting for @Hutcho to make a bold winning statement - it used to work! Lets get behind him if he makes one this time

Oh my god!!! I would rather play Sturridge > Gomez!!!! Gomez is awful! Please don't be fooled he's useless!!! He makes Torres look like Cavanni

If you look at it - we're the only team to consistently fuck up Barca over the past 5 years - yes they won, but everybody knows we were cheated and cheated bad! So we set the stall for allowing them possession - other teams have now copied that and exploited it We were lucky but like you said we created it oh and we had Drogba

About time Barca on the end of some bad refereeing! Credit to Robben - that's the best I've ever seen him play, like a mad man! Tracked back and defended really well and going forward was class. I'd love us to play like Bayern and how we did under Mourinho - I absolutely detest tikka takka football - I love pacey wingers and whipped balls into the box... The days of Duff and Robben... Ahhhh.... I know Mueller sold get MOTM but for me Robben was MOTM he just played such a different game and gave everything to the team - something he has been criticised for not doing in the past Now.... How many penalties will Barca be awarded next game? Isn't that how it worked against us?

Yup understand your point of view too... I hate our over reliance on Mata and wish we had a credible alternative - hopefully the Summer will bring this Look at Barca just now - Messi had a bad game (still injured in my view) - and the whole team was flag, because they rely on him so much - that's how I think we are with Mata.. Agree he should be able to cope, but we've had 3 games a week for pretty much most of this year - just being at games as a sub is tough as you have to be mentally prepared to come on and play - check out the sports science studies showing subs actually waste a lot of energy through 'nervous energy'... Obviously each individual is different - but it does have an effect. Between now and the end of the season, I just cannot see where we can rest him - so he's stuck playing unless FSW decides on another rotation

Well that's your opinion and mine is he needs to be rested... Mental strength is just as important as physical strength and 'creative' people get tired from being creative - add in physical tiredness and it really degrades performance! Now that's just my observation of creative people in the various industries I have worked in, so yes I'm making an abstraction to football - but I can't see it being that different. 61 games is a lot - he's probably played 95%? Plus the summer break was interrupted with the Olympics. So hopefully this year he will get a nice break. Compare game 1-10 Mata with game 50-60 Mata and I'm pretty sure my point stands? I can't be arsed to look at the stats, but I'm sure they would back up that a fresher Mata is a better Mata?

Well Mata, Hazard and Oscar are playing pretty shit at the moment, so if they can do it - why can't CHALOBAH? All part of being a footballer - class is permanent, form is temporary! I hope our 3 maestros get their form for the next 5 games! And CHALOBAH gets to keep playing - especially at Wembley

What did he do to a chair? Vid?

What I find funny is that Ferguson hasn't even commented... I expected a comment along the lines of 'With those teeth, he could have killed him...'

Ok Suarez shouldn't have been on the pitch! But immediately after the incident, I said to the missus you watch that Fukka will score against us now! The cunt did - I nearly smashed the TV up! But I blame Bentitez! Bring on Terry - play an extra defender to cope with the last few minutes - but no... Some fucking tactical genius he is... Honestly, this is one time I wanted a defensive substitution but he brings on like for fucking like. It was obvious we needed to win and him ranting about extra time is all well and good - but you play to the fucking whistle and ensure the right personnel are on the pitch at the right time. Last few minutes leave Moses on halfway line and everybody else defending and closing down space! #not difficult!!! Cannot wait for this guy to go! Tactically inept and a sad excuse for a manager! I've decided not to blame our players totally - whilst they do carry a portion of the blame, they have to suffer this fool day in day out!

Don't come in here then if it upsets ya

We have cost us this season... 1) appointing RdM and then sacking him 2) attacking Clatten-cunt and not expecting repercussions... 3) appointing FSW 4) loaning out quality players and selling squad players in a depleted team - leaving us bare in our longest season ever!!! 5) ...... Still more to come I feel - Top 4 and Europa winners?

Mata needs a rest... He cannot create everything for 61 games!!! We need a decent back-up player to cover him... Also - why can't we play through balls? So many times a through ball was on and we fucked it out wide and lost possession! Really need a look at our coaching and analysis of games! Some serious back-room shake-up is fucking needed!

Sturridge showed what we have missed up front... Sturridge + BA would have been a great combo and I would gladly swap Studge for Moses. Sturridge hit the post, set up 2 great chances and scored in 45 mins - whilst our striker had 90 to achieve precisely fuck all. Yes Studge should be in trouble for his tackle on Bert - but I don't think it was malicious, I think it was more Danny being a little revved up. All the bullshit about him the media spouted is now shown as bullshit. Give the lad a chance and he will take it... He always makes something happen. I hope he continues to play - I will always support him in an England shirt! Just hope he leaves Loserpool soon! So Studge was a mistake IMHO - but that's life, lets wish him well and focus on 3rd spot

Yes I am deadly serious! He turned over possession so many times and apart from one decent run - in open play he was ineffective. I like Hazard as a player, but he cannot keep on conceding possession like this! He needs to learn when he can use the flicks/tricks and when it's just better to keep the ball, even if it means drawing a foul... The lad has talent and will get better, but I think this game was too much for him. I also thought Mata was sloppy too and everything I said about Hazard applies to Mata too! Oscar, great goal, also had sloppy moments - as did our whole team. The problem with Mazacar or whatever it's called is that if they lose possession cheaply, our pivot and defence is overrun and shit teams like Liverpool have a chance... The more I see it the more I don't see Mazacar ever working properly - this needs to be addressed next season or we will continue to go backwards So Mazacar and Pivot need fixing, kinda begs the question of does this fucking formation actually work for us? Would 442 be better or 4411?

Ahh sorry dude Choochoo you idiot

I think you spelt it van Busten in your original post, maybe that's what confused him? I doubt many people don't know Van Basten - like the best natural finisher around - van Nistlerooy was almost as good - but Van Bastens volleys were awesome... The Dutch had some amazing players then... Overmars was great too and the blonde lad who played for Le Arse

If we come 5th we will have progressed over last season! Fucks sake nobody is going to leave because we finished 5th!!! These players know we have been robbed this season! They have also had the longest hardest season ever and you know what - if players want to leave for a 'blip' in CL football then FUCK THEM they only care for themselves and we are better off without them!!! FACT! Next season will be much better - no more transition, a manager everybody likes and a possible push for a title, Look at the players we got coming back from Loan and add a few signings and we have a fucking awesome squad. I get the pessimism post match - but lets keep this in check shall we! I still think we will make CL but if we don't I don't care and neither will the players and manager we sign as they know we have a squad ready to challenge !!!

Ok finally calm enough to post.. 1) 6 minutes I can see - some long delays... 2) most refs would have blown at 6 mins, especially as the commentator said he's looked at his watch and the ball went out of play, most normal refs would have blown at that point I feel... 3) bringing on Benayoun was awful. 4) at Half Time when Studge came on for Pool we looked fucked! At that point Loserpool had changed their tactics and our genius fat cunt couldn't see it, should have changed shape to cope with it 5) leaving the anti-ball magnet on (Torres past halftime) was a joke - even Jamie Redknapp called it post match 6) bringing Lampard on instead of terry was stupid, we could have dropped JT with Iva and pushed Luiz into a covering position or sweeper... Luiz can break with the ball faster than Lampard and is a better tackler than Lampard 7) 2nd half we looked lost 8) Hazard and Mata looked poor, kept trying stupid fucking flicks and one two's that just turned over possession - these guys need to get a fucking grip, leave that shit for the training ground 9) Moses did fuck all - and is proving to be a complete liability I hope it's just an 'after Africa Nations thing' - he's not been the same player since he came back from there... Reminds me of Drogba during his malaria problem... 10) Ref was bad. Suarez will get banned but that doesn't help us! 11) We WILL make 4th.. This is just last years good luck evening itself out, we will be in 3rd come the end of the season, result against Utd and Spurs will change the mood

Stopped reading after this! Great post! Shows the boys still have the fight and desire for each other - this will see us over the line. Knowing this - I'm calling 3rd spot ours! Happy to be quoted 3rd is OURS you heard it here first Oh and perhaps a nice little European Trophy

Anyone? Link that works on IPad? Please?

Anyone got an iPad compatible stream for 2nd half? Just got back to hotel and they showing wanky Hammers v Utd on Sky

Fucks sake not this clown who couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo! I would rather keep Torres than sign this idiot! Expect to be quoted next year when we sign him and bags a hat trick first game Now did I do it on purpose?

Sad day indeed....
