District that question wasn't wumming by the way, the media seem to think Cole is the best LB in the world
 
Clattenburg has been a total embarrasment in this game. He was at his mental best just there, Ribery basically stamped on Vidal's calf and Clattenburg seems not to have been able to see the whole contact and plays on despite it being clear the action Ribery was making before the challenge. When he eventually stops the game as Vidal had been rolling around he gives Vidal a talking to as he gets to his feet before any treatment gets to him. I can't believe he represents our country as an official in these things.
 
I see Barca have added some longer passing to their game. It will make them even more formidable now that they have a plan B.
 
It's got to be said that Fabregas looks like complete pants since he left the Gooners.
 
Messi came off because of a cut, didn't he? Same with Mascherano.
You can see why Barca are supposed to be looking at centre-halves when they're playing the Argentinian holding-midfielder at the back.
As Vertonghen's supposedly valued at £12m by them, I don't think we'll see Levy accepting a bid in the summer! <laugh>

Nowhere near good enough at that level. It's quite remarkable how much better Barca look without him in the side and it hasn't taken Villanova long to see that, hence why they are so far ahead of Real now. Barca are at their best when Iniesta isn't forced out wide as much as he was when Fabregas starts games.
 
Was Ibrahomich offside? Hmm...

Tony Gale called this pass a "simple flick":

How does he have a job?
 
I don't know so much about "a simple flick," but I am pretty certain that Tony Gale has a simple brain.
 
the Sun are reporting today that Real will bid for gareth in the summer because Zidane has said the best player he has seen is'nt playing in the C/L,and that is Bale,here we go again,and it's nowhere near Summer yet

Why do I get the feeling Real were looking through their list of ex players for a Welshman who could turn his head and, when they found their only option was the late John Charles, they trotted out Zidane instead?

Again, it's all part of Real's tapping up campaign. Get an all time great former player to flatter the target by telling him how much he is thought of, etc.

I'm fairly sure that we'll see them make a move this summer. Whether bale will respond, or Real are willing to meet Levy's undoubtedly high asking price, remains to be seen.

When John Toshack goes back again to replace Jose in the summer you really will all be bricking it!
