Magic Lamps

fernandinho is such an intelligent player.

at least we got a game of football at our hands now.

nice goal lukaku

game over.

holy fuck barkley is brilliant. massively improved over the season

The only thing giving me kind of solace is that Liverpool fans will be a lot more furious than us given Everton's forfeit

Êverton are so hypocritical basters. They always give us a hell of game but roll over to the mancs

fuck. anyway. just no draw.

but City have Demichelis. he is always good for an amazing blooper

coleman with the worst cross of the season. Lukaku will be vital for our posession next season. He wins almost every header, even against other tall+strong opponents

In 2007 the two favourite teams of Bundesliga Werder and Schalke both lost on the penultimate matchday to hand 3rd favourite Stuttgart the title...

who?

keep in mind, next season we wil have Atletico's 2 best players....

It has not been all bad. Atletico got really lucky with everyone of their goals. If we had defended like we did in Liverpool and had had a bit more luck we would have been through to the final. Simeone is incredible though. their team cost virtually nothing and he has lead it inot a CL final. But Terry, Etoo, Hazard had recovered only just + we had to play Ramires and Torres. With Cech, JT, Etoo, Hazard at 100% and Matic in the side this would have been a completely different ride.

over and out. well done atletico. we were all over the place defensively. deserved to go out.

etoo you dick. good penalty and good nerves by costa. at least one of our targets has scored against us. anyway. our D has been shit today

what a defensive lap, 3 players missing the ball. anyway, shit happens. Atletico were always gonna score. a bit less optimistic from now on, but we still can do it. we have shown we can score when not countering. So run at them.

I am sorry to deflate you, but I always prefer to speak the truth. I'd also love Klose breaking te record. My first ever game of football was the 8-0 vs Saudi Arabia, where he scored 3. He is such a classy player and a real gent. Deserves his place in the history books as much as anyone.

Loew is such an average coach, he will play with 6 mids and no striker cos it is more comfortable for his squad. As with Bayern, that will suffice against any weak opponent, but Germany will fall at the first high hurdle aka Brazil or Spain. Germany as well as Bayern are and have always been flat track bullies lacking character and killer instinct. Last season's Bayern CL win was a mere fluke against a weak Barca and a very lucky Dortmund side. Trust me both will not win another european title for another 12 years again.

So glad all this imaginated Bayern dominance and wankfest is over. One could not open a paper without 10 articles about how great Bayern are.

Hopefully some frustrated bayern fans give modric, bale and ronaldo some injuries

one or two quality strikers would still have scored at least one goal between them from those half-chances in these matches.

We are only 7 behind Liverpool in goal difference now. So if City slip and pool draw one of their matches, we might have a go and try to outscore them when we play vs Norwich and Cardiff equalizing the goal difference hence the decision going down to direct comparison (which IMO should be above GD anyway). Improbable but such a thrilling showdown would be worthy of such a crazy league season.

IMO this season has shown, that in EPL to break down the small teams week in week out, we need to be able to play two strikers from the start. Lukaku is used to playing in 2man strikeforce as is Costa. We could easily start half of the matches against mid-table teams and relegation battlers with a 4-4-2 or 4-1-3-2 like Willian---Matic---Luiz/Oscar---Hazard ------------Costa--Rom------------- or -----------------Matic---------------- -----Willian---Oscar----Hazard ---------Costa------Rom------------ looks potent and solid to me. Neither of Agüero, Dzeko or Negredo scored an extraordinary amount of goals, still because 2 of them played each match, they were keeping each other fresh and still with everyone of them averaging at least 0,5 goals per game it is almost a guarantee of a striker goal every match. Costa-Lukaku would be a strikeforce equal to Suarez-Sturrdige and any other in the league.

Schweinsteiger is extremely slow, that is why he was shifted from winger to no.10 to no8, just because he does not have the pace. Also I'd not consider him "bulky". Even my sister bursts in laughter any time he takes his shirt off and shows everyone his chicken-chest.
