You'll feel better after tomorrow.
Swansea's bench is probably league 1 level and they still beat Man City.
We'll be fine.
I would fist a goat if we won tomorrow...

Relying on Aston Villa is not a position I want to be in.
And that's really how it should be in the last fixtures of the season.
Why Napoli, Lazio and Udinese are playing a few hours before Inter makes no fucking sense whatsoever. (non-financially speaking)
All of the above are fighting for the third spot, and if they all somehow end up winning, it might kill Inter's motivation in their clash with Milan.
Exactly. Which is why all these games should be on at the same time. Players won't know the results from other games (unless fans cheer the scores). All these different kick off times screw up motivation.
So, Hertha in the play-offs means they are destroying the pitch for the final
Fuck, we always have to play Dortmund before an important match. I wonder if Jupp is going to use the best XI or the CL-final XI.

LOL. All the Porto players painted their hair blue and white.
Nuri Sahin? Yeah he's there.
I'd like to see the faces of Özil, Alonso, Pepe etc. We're playing like shit :lol

You have to be fucking kidding me... João Pereira and Izmailov injured on the warm-up... Pereirinha and Carrillo are in.

I imagine most of our buys will happen pre Euros, so fairly soon.
If we are champions when the last home game is played they usually do it.
Well the whole team looks like out-of-balance which isn't a huge surprise. Ronaldo is missing passes all the time and then there's what you said, no Özil, Alonso, Ramos etc.

Why? Because la Lega Calcio is a fucking joke, that's why. Always has been, always will be.
Is Ashton ready for tomorrow?
EDIT: Nope. 4-3-3 with Chiellini as LB and Pepe?
Bring them in early incase their price rises after a good performance in the Euros?

Yep, the way we usually try to do it. Smart in theory...
Bologna - Napoli
Atalanta - Lazio
Udinese - Genoa
Grim.

Sounds better to me than Lecce's Caceres to be honest.
If we go with a 3-5-2, I hope we use Giaccherini on the left or somewhere.
Edit: We were COMPLETELY outplayed with a 4-3-3 at home. So maybe a 3-5-2 is more likely?

The Carroll goal/off the line thing, was a goal.
It's heavily ironic though that we've been beaten like that after what happened in '05. C'est la vie. Kenny's probably gone. Hope Rafa or AVB replace him. Carroll was immense and I was shocked he didn't start. If Suarez didn't get fouls off Terry and Ivanovic then without Carroll we can't hold the ball up front against them. That's what happened for the first 60 minutes. Spearing choked a bit, he's a good lad but I don't think he's up to it at LFC. We miss Lucas terribly.

Whoever we sign will probably get injured during the Euros.
Which is why we should get Kagawa.
Get on it SAF and David Gill.

Great move by Carrillo.

Yes! Kagawa, Hazard, Martinez, M'Vila signings confirmed.
The quotes are probably about Pogba, Berba and PIG leaving. Activity my arse

Madrid is playing like a handicapped team. It's lovely. Reminds me of Torres early games in Chelsea.
Can't even imagine what they would cost.

I'll be hugely disappointed if we don't get Kagawa tbh.
He'll be £12m at most so he's definitely a value signing. And he's only 23 so he meets all the criteria of a Man United transfer target.
The ESPN site are reporting that Kagawa gave an interview on Japanese tv where he said that he's looking forward to playing for United next season. But ESPN got that quote from a fake twitter account. Don't believe it.

Probably just under £100 million.
Kagawa - ~£15 mill
Hazard - ~£32 mill
Martinez - ~£27 mill
M'Vila - ~£21 mill

That would be some team.
Wonderful goal from Totti.
Terrific day at The Valley. Charlton defeated a game Hartlepool 3-2 after going down 1-0, having already secured the title a fortnight ago, but earning the three points it took to equal Fulham's 101 point League One record.
The start of the afternoon was a bit surreal - the Red Devils parachuted into the ground, trailing red smoke and wearing the new Nike home kit.
Of course, we stayed to see the trophy presentation and the ensuing celebrations. The stewards and the police were proper spoilsports and wouldn't let the fans onto the pitch!
What's this 'FA Cup' nonsense you're all jabbering about?

:lol I saw that quote this morning. Hilarious how quickly the account was found to be fake. Surprised ESPN didn't do any background checks before running that!
He said he won't talk to his agent until after the German cup final so there will be no action until after then at the earliest.
