I couldnt care less what your sister thinks. He is stronger than the average center midfielders around the world and that is what matters...Also, he is slow for a winger, but he is definitely not slow for a CM! Schweinsteiger is the best all around midfielder there is, period. No one will convince me otherwise.

If Arsenal wins tomorrow, I seriously doubt Everton will do much to try to stop City...

Wow, how did I miss it! Apparently, he also had some digs at Jose in his last article for Sky as well: http://www.skysports.com/opinion/story/0,25212,18932_9281063,00.html

Sorry, I am so electrified by our win that I forgot about that detailed! I really am mate, that wasnt my intention. Sorry...

Btw, what is this whole Jaime x Jose stuff?

I know, I know!

What? José is not Twyin! (you will understand in the next couple of episodes)...

Brilliant!

Gerrard MOTM.

He was absolutely incredible today, José = God.

GOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL!

FAIR-PLAY???

Brilliant change from Mourinho!

Geez, so much negativity! Carefree people, we have nothing to lose...

I know this aint the place, but Spanish TV rights are different than in England. It doesnt really depend on their position. The clubs have separate deals with the broadcasts...Real and Barcelona will gain whatever they agreed on no matter where they finish. Just like Atletico will gain whatever they agreed mo matter if they win the league or not. The difference they would be making is tiny, definitely not the 100 million you saw, lol. It's like in the MLB. New York Yankees gain hundreds of millions no matter if they get to the play-offs or not. Just like small franchises will make little money no matter if they win the world series or not.

Not really, because Vidal is not as technical as Bastian!He can pass, cross, dribble, position himself, etc.; but not as good as Schweinsteiger... Also, it's not like the German is weak and/or slow. He is quite bulky!

He can defend, tackle, run, drible, pass, score, cross, etc. He might not be the best at them seperately, but he is the only CM who can do it all at a high level!That doesnt mean Vidal is a bad player (he is amazing), but Schweinsteiger is the best all around midfielder there is, no doubt!

I totally agree, but isnt that exactly the problem (finding time to write)?

That would be Schweinsteiger.

I personally like reading people's preview. I really do! However, I gotta admit this new format would save me precious minutes of my time (especially during exams), thus allowing me to write more previews than I have been able to. Also, I believe a new format would refresh things (some of our articles have become a bit too similar) and it could inspire new members to patticipate as well. Not to mention it gives whoever is writing more creative freedom to choose their own topics and what not. So, in resume, I have nothing against the current format but I believe a change would be welcomed!

It's simple, UEFA's sponsors would never allow a team with worldwide stars be excluded from the biggest competition on Earth! Heineken wont be happy if, let's say, Ibra/Cavani/Lavezzi/Cabaye/Thiago Silva/etc dont participate in the propaganda. The same goes to City, Chelsea, Barcelona, Real, etc. It will never happen! Now, your French conspirancy is quite over the top...

I am not condoning Mourinho's actions in that particular derby, but to use Tito's sad death to promote himself and to take a dig at Chelsea/José is incredibly pathetic! It shows Mick Dennis is not even bothered by the tragedy that has just happened and only wants to create polemic headlines for himself... DISCUSSING!

Oh. My. God. I am absolutely shocked, this caught my completely off guard. I knew he had cancer, but I never thought it was THAT bad. I mean, wow! It just shows how not even the ones with access to ultra modern and expensive treatments are safe from this terrible disease. RIP.

Add to the argument...Ronaldo and RM as a whole dont ever show up in big games. Ibra is the one who does it!!! Bale is a one season wonder and cant do nothing else besides running like crazy. Lucas Moura is the real deal, not this shit Welsh sprinter who already proved himself in the two best leagues in the World!!! Modric and Xabi Alonso aint even all that impressive, it's a mirage. They arent even capable of lacing Veratti's shoes!!! Varane, Pepe and Sergio Ramos arent quality defenders, they just have amazing stats because nobody in Spain plays offensive football. If they played in Ligue 1 they would have real challenge with the superb goalscorers that play in France!!! Oh, and while we are at it, Carlo is a fucking shit manager. He will never be as good as the mighty Blanc!!!
