The thing is we need ManIOU to lose more then 1 game.. not just to Chelski .. and we need to win all our 7 games..

And you know what? Pool can only hope that S**s win FA cup .. which open the 6th placing to Euro League next year. Thats their only hope based on Sunday's performance. Say bye bye to Torres, Pools.. You aint keeping him for long like this.

[germanturkey]

all 7 of our games are fairly winnable. only tough ones are like Spurs away (heh, yeah right) and City at home. But city's current form doesn't scare anyone. If we can make it through birmingham without injuries, we have a good shot at going the rest of the way.

[KiNA]

S**s tough? What are you talking about..

btw, I found some links to some Chelski's fan forum .. and S**s's forum about our CL draw ... All of them like kids jumping up and down screaming stuff like You going out! You going OUT! .. Feels like a bit moronic irony isn't it?

Because .. the thing is .. dude, you already gone out, we still have a chance to NOT go out yet See the difference yet?

[germanturkey]

haha, that's why i hate sp*rs. like that dvd they released that one 4-4 game they got against us a few seasons ago. then i show them this joke and they stop talking.

[KiNA]

Oh come on.. their manager just found out that they *could* be at the top of the league IF they dont drop any points!

All you can do is laugh .. and feel pity for them ... NOT!

[kayote]

our preformance during latter half of the season has been shamefull. losing to Inter which i saw coming a mile off, cause lets face it if anyone know the capebilities fo Chelsea it's the special one.

but to draw with blackburn at a time like this shows we need reform. and not just spending money in the summer. Which BTW i though we wern't allowed to do sense the whole tapping players thing. we can't go on like this.

Good luck to Fulhum and Arsenal as fellow london teams in Europe. and i feel disgusted juat typing that. we can hope to win the F.A Cup and even though i have every hope of getting 1st place finish, United aren't gonna let the points go easy.

[germanturkey]

i think that's the problem with Chelsea, they always buy new players and never let the current team grow together. you still win things because of the quality of the players you buy, but the team is stuck in a transition mode.

Meanwhile... anyone following the AFC Champions League? It's the poorer, Asian relative of the UEFA Champions League.

I'm pretty stoked Adelaide United have gone through all first 3 games of the group stage undefeated so far. But knowing our luck, as soon as I've written that, we'll probably lose all our remaining group stage matches.

watching that game took 10 years off my life. jesus christ. at least we had the mental fortitude to come back at 2-0 down. the first 20 minutes was so beautiful on barca's part. complete domination.

[KiNA]

yep .. footballing lesson by them. Arsenal players still feels inferior against them. Song suffered the most as he had to play in CB position too which he left for a very long time.. both goals are due to his inability to mark Ibra IMHO.. But one name stood out out of all the young players. Denilson. He kept his high standard. Peoples slacking him, but they failed to see his true ability.. same as Gilberto, albeit still havent matured enough.. give him 1 more season uninterrupt, he'll be our "invisible wall"

And after all the talk on 10 goals in 4 games (?).. Messi was keep quiet. PERIOD. Xavi was a delight to watch tho ..

Still, they keep they head high and soak all those pressure until the Barce player tires themselves out. And then TW14 came to torture them. No matter what the result come next week, I'm very very proud of this team.


Looking for the full match torrent .. Need to rewatch them again.

[boggart]

Credit to the Gunners coming back like that. Fabregas will be missed by you guys, but we'll miss both our central defenders Puyol and Pique too.

Will be another interesting game at Camp Nou...

[KiNA]

Yep.. now you have to deal with flowery Sam as our playmaker .. with Tom definitely takes AA23's slot with TW14 on the right wing.

I hope AW plays Merida and Vela against WW.. I even think he should field Kyle to partner TV5 in CB slot... (but then, I'm sure he go with TV5 + Campbell with Uncle Egghead on bench)

[germanturkey]

there's nothing wrong with Nasri. he pretty much demolished porto while playing in place of cesc.

[KiNA]

Of course nothing wrong with flowery Sam .. He can wear flowery underwear all the time and dance around the whole Barce team ^^

[germanturkey]

hey, if i were gay for anyone on the team, Nasri would be third behind Cesc and Vermenator.

though am i missing something with the flowery jokes? first time i've heard them...

[KiNA]

There's a screenshot of him wearing underpant with flowery design during the match in Porto.

Damn linesmen giving Drogba that OFFSIDE goal...meh. Man U played badly in the first half though, so maybe they didn't deserve to win but those linesmen need a good scolding and a timeout in the corner.

For God's sake, we need video technology...
