the funny thing is ... it looks asif he's going to keep his job for next year LOL ... chel$ki are going to go on a massive spending spree ... again ... they should look to bayern to see how it's done ... when you sign players you actually have to cut players aswell ... and you should be signing players in positions you're lacking in quality ... bayern didn't have quality wingers only salihamidzic and schweinsteiger ... sali left and now we have altintop, ribery and ze roberto along with schweinie ... chel$ki just buy who ever is good and work it out later ...
Yeah, Chelsea just like to go after premier players regardless of it they actually fit into the team line up.
Meaning Shevchenko's (and others) skill is negated because they are forced to play in positions which dont suit their style, or within game structures which dont cater towards their style.
You cant just transplant a good player from one team structure, and expect them to play exactly the same in another.
I need opinions on whether Gerrard will be rested, and whether Arsenal will be playing youngers lads in favour of goal fests against weak teams in the run home.
thoughts?
i haven't heard anything official but i would imagine liverpool have their man focus on the UCL ... so it's highly likely there will be a re shuffle ... whether it's gerrard i'm not sure
as for arsenal ... LOL ... they're still wondering how it went to shit ... i'd imagine they'll play full strength for the rest just to carry some form into nxt year ... ultimate choke
Yeah im thinking Arsenal will attempt to get second spot to avoid annoying qualifying next season, but the Chelsea win makes that look unlikely.
Im expecting a second string Liverpool team, which is ridiculous, but thats the way it goes..
With the team they have, I feel Liverpool should have the 2nd spot at leastQuote:

Man utd lucky to draw i didnt see the game but man utd fans blaming the ref.
now they only 3 points up. maybe its not over just yet.
Rooney should have got sent off with that waist high slide tackle ????????
Shit makes me laugh sometimes !!!!!!!
Luca Toni scores 2 in the German cup final. Bayern win it 2-1 over Dortmund. the guys a goal machine.
if luca was playing in the champions league i think he would have a good chance of beating ronaldo for player of the year. he still might in my opinion. albeit a small one. if bayern win the the treble, a bit lesser because its eufa cup but still, and man u ends up winning nothing, i think there may be a chance. he is carrying bayern right now.
i dont know about that, Ronaldo has been amazing this season, as much as i hate to admit it.
28 goals as a midfielder in the EPL alone, and thats with missing a fair few games.
but yeah, maybe if Bayern had been more involved in european competition, toni would have been more highly regarded.
oh yeah, and fuck Liverpool.

2-1 in the cup final ... 1 down ... 1 almost assured with 1 to go ...
i think ronaldo has to get the player of the year ... nobody is matching him, not ronnie, messi, kaka no one ... i doubt if we were in the CL he'd get it ... he's put in solid work in the uefa cup ... he had a bare patch in the middle of the season but he's coming good again ... 4 braces in the space of about 8 days lol i think his goal count is up to 35 now ...
lol, Inter won!
they are 6 points ahead of Roma, and 4 games to go. The Scudetto is Inter's!! I mean OURS muahahahhahhaha
ah great moment for me. plus seeing AC Milan faaaaar behind me....couldn't be better

no one's been more consistent than Man Utd in the CL so far this season.Quote:

Kuyt, crazy motherf.... running through the whole pitch again
omg Riise you stupid Norwegian. kick the fukin ball out, dnt header it in your own net in the 95th minute.
if I'm not mistaken, that was so funny.... [for me, cuz I don't root for no team left]
riise is gonna get shot!!!
or he was bribed by Abramovich to throw the game
avram grant, what a manager, tatical substitutions leads to goal. cant dog the god.
haha i wake up to see riise fail his team again ... this guy is a fucking joke ... even funnier was his pay cheque he left at a pub lol i would of cut this useless idiot a long time ago he hasn't done anything for a good 4 years ... still liverpool can go to stamford and do the business ... maybe it's a blessing knowng you HAVE to score rather than taking a 1-0 and saying "do we just hold out or do we try and score and possibly open up our defence" and be caught in two minds n shit ...
i'm talking about in champions league this deacade ... only say liverpool, milan or real madrid have continually gone deep in the tournament as us ... we got a semi finals, few quarter finals ,won it ... we done alright but people seem to forget it:? ... but this year yes man u got it coveredQuote:

any other gems like toni in the serie that will come cheap ?? preferably replacements for podolski, lahm, lucio, schweinisteiger and a reserve goal keeper ... our team better win champions league next year coz we gonna get picked apart
"best team in europe" manchester U...only could possess the ball 35% of the game.
"best player in the world" C. ronaldo misses a penal and was basically invisible most of the game.
Barca controlled that game but couldnt do anything offensively. Man Utd defended really well.
Barca's ball movement is unmatched though, real slick.
C.Ronaldo was schooled by Zambrotta. he didnt do much but complain and miss a penalty. Not a pretty game though, i think Man Utd played for a draw they showed no intent in going forward.
0 intent on going forward. when you bring rooney and tevez back to midfielders and almost backs, you are not trying to score. barca for me lacked pace in their ball movement. they were controlling the game very nice, but when there was a glimmer of space they didnt really run at the defence to exploit it. barley any wing play to try and get endline and cross the ball in. i think henry should have played from the start as well.
to me barca really miss ronnie (at his peak) for someone to create something special in the middle of the park 30 yards and in, weither it be a great pass, shot, free kick, ect. it was too stagnant.
second leg should be interesting, messi a week fitter.
haven't watched it but it seems asif untied let barca do what they want ... reaaaally should of scored ... i don't think either side is in the box seat for the return leg and maybe only 1 goal tops will be scored ... you're right with mess ^^ one more week of fitness and another la liga fixture to get in his groove should do him good ...
tomorrow is bayern v zenit ... really tricky fixture this because what i saw of them against leverkusen in this first leg they got some pace out wide ... toni is suspended so we gotta really on the klose/podolski show who haven't done much all season ... MVB has a broken nose i think but he's soldiering on ... schweinsteiger is out of sorts and we could REALLY use altintop i can't say that enough such a critical injury at a time when depth and rotation is needed :(
again ronaldo when he gets frustrated he plays like crap and complains too much
i dunno how he missed that penalty
he still has alot of growing up to do
man u played like crap and dint create much chances for tevez or ronaldo
ronaldo was playing striker and rooney was on the flanks
what was up with that???????
man u didnt play their game at all
i dunno why they took off messi
if they wouldve kept him on then im sure barca wouldve scored
and henry looked dangerous near the end
barca really could use ronnie in that midfield
next weeks games should be interesting & entertaining
tomorrow mornings side to face zenit:
kahh; lell, lucio, demichelis, lahm; schweinsteiger, van bommel, ze roberto, ribery; podolski, klose
both teams have contrasting form in the last 5 games ... we've gone: W3-1, D3-3, W5-0, W3-1, W2-1 ... and zenit have gone W4-1, D2-2, L1-0, D1-1, D1-1 ... hopefully we can keep our roll going
christian lell has to be the biggest surprise packet of the season ... he's pretty much gone from like 3rd choice at best for bayern to a possible bolter for germany's euro 2008 campaign ... he's kept marcell jansen out of the team alot and i've basically forgotten that sagnol is even there although if willy wasn't injured he'd probably play alot more ... good to see our depth hold it's own ... players like ottl and toni kroos aswell ...
flamini looks like he's on the way out for reasons other than money :S then why leave if money isn't the issue ?? players get so bitchy these days ... look for him to move to juve ... not that arsenal will care they'll replace him no doubt
the 10 shirt on Zenit is good. he should be the guy BM try and stop.
sucks toni is suspended. ribery and klose are gonna have to step it up.
in the other game i like mutu to do rangers dirty.
mutu's goal last week was special ... watch for rangers to kick and hack their way against fiorentina the scottish way ... it's the only way they know how
i read an article about tottenham and man city back in for ronaldinho because milan isnt sure if they want to pay sure a high fee for him.
are those clubs serious. this is a 2 time world player of the year. in his prime years. and hes going to go to some mid table premier team? get the fuck out of here with that.
i read only man citeh were interested didn't hear about spurs ...
im fucking drunk as fuck 4 53 am and SBS and ESPN have rangers v fiorentina im so fucking agry AAAARGH
well bayern draw with zenit. Lucio scored an own goal. well now toni will jus have to work his magic in the away leg.
fiorentina and rangers draw to. dull game.
wats up with these semi-finals. champs league and uefa cup in total out of 4 game we get 4 goals.
lol how wack are we ?? ... 0-0 in russia i guarentee ... glad it wasnt on live ... time for bed i think
