How did Blackburn play?
I'm assuming they sat pretty compact and pressed hard about 20 yards out?

I think so. I thought no one would beat Ronaldos 42 goal season for quite a while. Then couple years later Messi got 47 which is what the other Ronaldo had, then next season he scored 53, I thought that was it, no way you can get higher than that, now Messi has 54 with atleast 12 games left. lol.
At this rate, 65 is looking like an achievable target. sixty-five. lol.
And he looks to be breaking all the CL top scorer charts too.
He is 24 and if he doesn't start partying to 5am before game day and drinking etc then I can easily see him continuing at this rate.

It's italian football, I wouldn't be so surprised.
I need to rest. All this for a Coppa Italia match, haha.
Too bad about tomorrow's game. Siena have basically already said that the match against Napoli is just a formality for them. They are not interested in the Coppa Italia and only care about the weekend's game. Fuck this bullshit. Siena gets to play a final - of any kind, really - once every 50 years, if that, and they don't care, even though they won @ home? I hate this attitude, hate it with a passion.

I think QPR could pull a Blackburn tommorow and nick a win over Liverpool. No idea why I think that though.
Can't wait for El Cashico tommorow though, hope City get back to just the one point.

234 not 233 I think. Either way, incredible lol.
I would not sell Messi for even 130mil. Who is Barcelona going to buy with 130mil that can do what Messi does? eg. He won the Spanish Supercup for us, no one else. And it was his first game of the season after an extended holiday, vs Madrid, 3 goals, 2 assists. Irreplaceable.
Messi suits Barcelona perfectly and Barca suits Messi perfectly. City wouldnt be able to make his wages much higher than they already are. So I don't see him wanting to leave, and I don't see Barca wanting to sell him.

Unspectacularly solid.
Drab game with 2 unambitious sides but I don't give a fuck, long way to go but we have a chance of staying up now. QPR will win tomorrow and I think Bolton will come together no and have a good run
The Yak is genuine quality, great Muamba tribute and well done referee for not booking him

Can't wait to see Messi against our defense, mostly against Mesbah and Antonini. It will be so awesome.

Were we watching the same game? Benfica were clearly superior on the last 30 mins of the first half but Porto was on top on the second one, and overall Porto ended up with twice as many attacks, more ball possession more corners etc. We just got caught in a nasty counter attack, shit happens.
Despite that it was a great game to watch. Props to benfica.
Go BRAGA!
We had some problems in the midfield and Mangala was on the worse and the best today. Anyway, what we need is to win the league!

Braga will probably make it to the final but will not be easy, Gil Vicente is always hard to beat when they play in Barcelos.
This is the best GIF.
According to Sky Sport 24, Juventus have already informed Roma they will not be exercising their option to buy on Marco Borriello.
Love him, but his feet are as useless as Borriello's head.

At least we never risrespected females nor anybody else. I hope.
Talking about Storari, yeah Buffon is way better, but he's still a top-notch GK.
We are best thread.
Juve should buy Olic 
I don't want the croatian warrior to end his career under fucking Magath.

Conte would LOVE a striker like Olic, but he's too old now
He's no Buffon as far as feet are concerned, but it's not really a problem, imo. He's a great second goalkeeper. What *can* be a problem is the fact that we *always* start with a short pass from the keeper to a defender, as per Conte's orders. Which is great, because it helps instill a certain mentality and passing confidence. Sometimes our lads go a bit too far though and risk conceding dangerous counters, when they could simply get rid of the ball by kicking it forward blindly. No shame in it.

He's younger than Klose. /case

Wow, just read that Herrmann could be back for the match against Bayern. Nice.

I doubt he will start but I guess he could make quite an impact as sub.
Also, I love Gündogan's development. He's been great since Klopp gave him a break last year. I'm kinda wondering why he doesn't start more games now, though. I think he would do great if he got as many starts as he got at the start of the season.

No, it makes sense. Sit solid and press around the 20 yard mark and MON dosen't know what to do.

Klopp on German Sky tonight: "I'm not available for the Chelsea job".
Is he playing as CM or AM?

So 32 games played, no defeats. And no defeats against Milan across four games this season. Good stuff. Shame about all the draws, though, hey?

Just watched Rovers/Sunderland. One of the weirder games I've seen so far. A lot of unforced errors, loss of possession, silly penalties, bad corners, etc. Congrats to the Rovers though for pulling it off. Nice to see another 'Pray 4 Muamba' shirt too.
