I can't stand the argument that he hasn't won a World Cup yet. Club football and the Champions League has overtaken that as a benchmark of success.

More people are interested in us playing Barça than Fulham? Unbelievable...

Indeed. Not a "lad," just an absolute moron.

In Bed with Maradona is the greatest football website around. Enough said. The Guardian did their top 100 blogs a couple of years ago, which is worth a look - particularly European Football Weekends, Les Rosbifs and The Equaliser (all of which have stopped posting, unfortunately). I can echo the mention for WhoScored - it's like an online version of that FourFourTwo/Opta StatsZone app. The design could be improved, but the analytical blogs on there make up for it. There are two main general podcasts I listen to - The Guardian's Football Weekly (informed but pretty dry at times) and The Football Ramble (a more laid-back, independant one with four fans/ comedians, which strikes the right balance between being irreverent and interesting).

We won't lose because of refereeing decisions - this isn't 2005, 2006 or 2009. We'll lose because they're the greatest side in the world and we're, well, have you watched us recently?

It's all PR at the end of the day.

Barclays Asia Trophy final against Villa? Wasn't that in black?

Horrific news.

Clashes with the PL, that's why.

YES!! Just got my tickets without much hassle (once past the waiting room, at least). :blue scalf: Twitter says KO at 6pm, which is baffling. Liverpool at lunchtime.

It's The Guardian...

Yeah, he didn't start that. So before you criticise fact-checking...

Luiz MOTM for me.

Absolutely bloody delighted. Four CL assists this season for Nando.

Dire.

APOEL.

YESS!! In other news, Everton, Spurs and Madrid also ahead.

Pleasing.

Confident start.

Because he's not Bosingwa.

Bizarre, really. Hope it pays off.

Congratulations! :blue scalf:

Yes, One Step Beyond by Madness.

Hello there! :blue scalf:
