I just watch the replay again. I still don't think it was an aguero stamp.

Ramires is a jose player. He wont be sold just like khedira.

Nathaniel hasnt play since....... Ake hasnt play since...... Jose is not the best person to let young players play. And if we spend big on a cm, than what happens to our cf, lb positions?

We need players like ramires that wont back down. Not pansies. Also as skipper mentioned I dont think he stomped like aguero did last season.

People said di maria is a headless chicken. However, for carlo and argentina he is not. Jose plays and instructs his players. You cant blame willian for doing what jose wants him to do.

When ramires leaves, who will take his place? Matic is a boss of a dm, however, stamina is not his friend. We need ramires on this team, regardless of what happen today.

Sack Mourinho and bring in who????

So, Madrid is going to buy Cole? Does that mean Fabio is available? I still think Cole is better lb than Dave currently. I'm surprised Mourinho uses him sparingly.

I would rank it. 1. Bayern 2. Real 3. barcelona 4. PSG Bayern is the most balanced team and now their team is finally fully healthy with the exception of batsbuder. The domestic league is already won, so they just have to concentrate on their to final cup tournaments. Madrid is the second most balance team and the best counter team. Di Maria has been playing fantastic for madrid this season (since he is playing in a similar role he plays for argentina, where he usually excels in), and the acquisition of Bale really has allowed for Ronnie to rest a bit. Barcelona has Messi and won't be relying on barthra again this season. I like the overall makeup of PSG. However, Zlatan disappears quite a bit in a big games and Lucas/Pastore/Menez/Lavezzi haven't set the world on fire. As RMPR mentioned, I would only bet Madrid beating Bayern.

+ Bayern Munich: Robben Dortmund: Henrik PSG: Zlatan England NT: Jack WIlshere. The amount of time and effort you spent on slating Oscar is really mind boggling. Actually, on other chelsea forums, the English posters are similar to you, but their like 15 years old + english.

Arsenal #10: Jack Wilshere Manchester City #10: Dzeko Manchester United #10: Wayne Rooney Tottenham #10: Abadeyor

No number should ever be retired. Especially, 1-10.

i kind of wished hazard got the 7 jersey and rambo switch to #8

"The big difference is the tactical play and the way all teams play a lot of good football. There are no long balls like there are in England," he said on Thursday. "That is the biggest thing about Spain, it is all passing and movement. It has been a new experience which I am obviously learning from and enjoying. "All the teams, no matter if they are at the top or the bottom, try to play football. It is exciting, it is a great league and it is great to be playing here." -Gareth Bale on EPL vs La Liga

Bojan played against barcelona in the champions league (Not sure if it applies to Thibaut) I thought, it was only domestic competition our loanees couldn't play us against.

When did Lukaku play european football on loan?

For centerbacks, definitely. Leftbacks is debatable, I guess technically Lahm is still the best leftback in the world.

Real Madrid was poorly constructed and injury ridden. (I blame Perez).

Alaba might have the best cross in him not named Philip Lahm (fullback). Also, attacking wise, only marcelo is comparable (maybe coentrao) (I love Marcelo btw.) Dante was in the top bracket last season.

Lahm and Alaba are the best in their position along with manuel Neuer. Boateng and Dante are good (at the min). However, like David Luiz, Dante does tend to make mistakes quite a bit. However, I'm not really sure what defensive line I would take over Bayern (+ gk). Maybe Roma.

I disagree with only your first point. Bayern Munich has the best team overall and the best team individually. Next season, their team will be better. In: Robert Lewandowski, Sebastian Rode and I can bet pep will bring one player at least.

Pep has done a fantastic job with Bayern this season. They are undefeated in their domestic league, qualified to the next round of the champs league and won the supercup +club world cup. He has taken Philip Lahm to another level and brought Rafinha into relevancy. He has both their cm injured for most of the season, sold Gustavo/loaned kirkoff and still able to flourished without any proper cm. He gave julian green and weiser some game time and pierre a few games. Last year, they won the treble, however, dortmund was on their level even without gotze (and the Champs league final). This season, bayern has absolutely destroyed BVB minus the one preseason game. Pep has done far better than what I imagine. To be undefeated in any domestic league is a superior accomplishment. The only thing I will ever slate Pep on is his dumb transfers.

i kind of find it ironic people are slating pep's football when we have Jose Mourinho.

I remember reading a few years back that the only reason Aguero didn't go to Madrid was because of that. You guys really do not think Thibaut considers himself an Atletico player?

I thought Perez had an agreement that Atletico players couldn't directly transfer into Real...
