Magic Lamps

when did we score?I just went out to get myself down and missed the goal. looking forward to conceding though.

this team is a bunch of chokers and bottlers who can not accelerate their play to save their lives. Even the days we were shit under Claudio, Rafa and the second season under Carlo we player who would stand up, fight and try something instead of passing the ball around like bellends and wonder that it does not find its way into the net on its own. we need guys who take some responsibility instead of hide in their shadows.

willian's set pieces are so fuckin crap. there are 7 players above 6ft height in the fuckin box and he brings them low towards the first post. wtf?

WE are so deep and slow in transition no wonder we don't score. every attack you can already see it will fail, just too slow and inaccurate every fuckin week the same old shit.

parked bus. we know how this will end.

Hull are heads and shoulders above us. week per week people keep saying our bad performances are only a one off, but we have not won for ages now. and that is exactly why because we have been second best every week.

there u have it. hull will park the darn bus now and it will end 2 all

we are all over the fuckin place. once again stopped playing football after a lead, once again got punished. will we ever learn? same old chelsea always choking.

just gift those other fucker the title tibo. cech would not have done that shit in a million years.

title collapse anyone?

bring azpi on.

so coming. ffs

excellent work from Rami and Willian covering up for Iva's and Matic's defensive ineffieciency so far.

nice opportunity to boost our goal difference.

A decent offense performance at alst. tbf hull have been shit defensively as have we. esp ivanovic still suspect defensively.

now stop playing football and concede.

what a fucking opener

Agüero sure, Kane maybe, esp considering he is outscoirng world-class strikers either having the best season in their career (agüero) or playing with way better midfielders behind them (Costa) with ease and at only 21 years. People cry one-season wonder but does anyone really think a striker of that technical and goalscoring ability will only have one good season? maybe he will not score that much ever again but this guy will continue to make headlines. Michael owen sends his regards. Giroud has killer holdöup play but a man his size should have. Not even Gunners would have him over Costa though.Giroud is a good striker but not a good finisher. But the worst thing about is he lets you down. He should have scored about every big game gunners lose and embodies there loser's mentality. Makes you hope with good performances in unimportant games but does fuck all in those that really matter. Arsenal will win their 3rd/4th place trophy with or without his goals, assists or hold up play.

Yup and it was still tight. He also had a great match vs Germany that year. What I like most about him apart from his defensive work-rate is his skill. Much more than Willian e.g. he creates chances with his skills, trickery and clever movement rather than pace.

Him scoring the important 1-0 vs everton made me think about him again. 25 and in his prime he is having a great season in Ukranian league. Peforming better there than Willian did who also was worth 32m. Also Yarmolenko is rather tall so if we had him we would not need to push Iva up the right flank in order to keep posession from our goalkicks with the header. He is out of contract in 2016 so he would be dead cheap too.

We have not lost a game to Barca for 9 years. In fact, The 8 times we played them we only lost against them twice, winning 3. IN 2004/5 we got them in the quarterfinal, lost the game at Camp Nou 2-1 but then came that magic night at Stamford bridge. Despite a brilliant Ronaldinho double cutting our 3-0 lead achieved by goals from Gudjohnsen, Duff, Lamps, we advanced through a late JT header. WE also spanked Bayern at SB that season. A shame we could not win it there already, losing to that fucking Liverpool ghost goal. Our power would have made light work of Milan in the final. In 2005/2006 we were rather poor. Losing 1-0 at camp nou, 2-1 at SB with a late penalty making things look more close than they were In 2006/7 we had them in the group stages. 2-2 at Camp Nou, Lampard scoring that impossible spinned lob from a 5° angle, drogba with a late equalizer. at SB a drogba double beat them 2-1 or 2-0 idk 2008/9 i guess i don't have to tell anyone. Our performance in the 2nd leg was one of our greatest CL games bar drogba's finishing. 2011/12 was maybe my favourite against all odds against the greatest sides in the world football. The most amazing thing about all our successful matches vs Barca is that there always were players like Cech, Drogba and esp Lampard who simply grew to the challenge. The game, the tactics were never set for them which is the excuse that as always used for FAbregas and Mata not performing in those. No offensive player like to defend all the game. Still some made the game their ow and won it for us. We are yet to see that from our current side.

City not even able to score a fucking penalty against one of Germany's worse penalty keepers. They were lucky Barca was wasteful today, too. Pathetic bunch of tossers.

When you sit deep you have to do it like Juve with their efiiciency and counter attacking. They might not be that good every week but today was a blue print of deep defensive, counter attacking football.

I think Wolfsburg is his next destination. He will rip the Bundesliga apart with his physical superiority.

I wish, I really do. I like to have City busy to eliminate any danger of them catching us and for england to still have one CL representant. But for a dismal City to beat a decent Barca side with the best offense in the world it would take a minor miracle.
