    Exactly. For reasons, probably not unconnected to Marca, Ancelotti has decide to play him further back to increase his defensive contributions. Bale works best in a free role, not stuck out on the wing.

    I still enjoy watching Real.I don't like watching Barcelona.The Barca forwards spend more time on their knees and backs than girls in a brothel!

    Neymar may just be the worst actor of them all, which really is saying something. It’s him or Robben, I think, though I find Robben even more annoying.

    I still enjoyed watching Barca. Move after move was beautiful. I was amazed how completely they dominated Real in the second half. They pressed the life out of them completely.

    But, sure, their players do go down easier than Juarez hookers.

    Can't bare either of the cheating ****ty clubs. The demanded ffp cos they are state and tv funded so can and do just buy who ever they want while every one else is being made to jump through hoops.
    I'm old enough to remember barca kicking lumps out of us in 1982 with one of the worst thuggish displays on a football pitch ever witnessed

    David Moyes knows all about failing in Europe, so I bow to his authority! <laugh>

    Very respectable in domestic competitions, if rather negative in style. Not good in Europe, though.

    Good. We won't have to face him trying to cripple our best players anymore.

    "Good. We won't have to face him trying to cripple our best players anymore."

    If that doesn't hasten to the return of Bale to Spurs, nothing will.
    Just the sight of that girly hairband would induce at least a 4 month injury. :D

    Ridiculous isn't it.

    Two of them players - Salah and Marin - were linked with teams prior to joining Chelsea, everyone could see that the reason they were signed was to prevent another Prem side from strengthening. Think Atsu can be added to that as well, I'm sure there were English sides interested.

    Moses as well. They just scour the World for youngsters to loan out and never play then top up their first team squad with experienced players that are available on the cheap that then hardly get a look in, are loaned out and sold on again. Rinse and repeat to get them through FFP. It's all very cynical stuff.

    They have a lot of strength in depth in their U21 team. By that, I mean they sign a ****load of youngsters from around the world in the hope one or two of them will turn good (while quite conveniently fulfilling the criteria for HG players...) while any British players in their academy can say they were on the books at Chelsea when looking for a new club once they turn 18.

    Ozil thinks he can win the Ballon d’or. I think I’m Napoleon. Who’s more deluded?

    Wondering why she’s still locked up while Ozil strolls around pitches (whenever clubbing permits).
