Please tell me we bought a world class striker?
I have no idea what this is meant to mean .. ?
You sold Matri and put Krasic as a striker.
God..we hired Ranieri again didn't we?
Well you've convinced me.
Zlatan would like anybody who works hard to become just like him. It just empowers his ego.
But I do think too, that Ola is a good player, I would also see him in Liverpool or playing a role a la Tore André Flo in Chelsea.
Your FM game is trolling me.

Wait...Villa and Stoke...switched...managers? Wha-?
:lol definitely just did a spit-take.
I just found out that it's a good thing. If we played in the quarter finals instead of Marseille, there would have been Dortmund - Bayern matches every Tuesday/Wednesday for 3 weeks. That would have been too much for Bayern
APOEL would have eliminated you guys in the previous round anyway.

Watched the first half of the AZ - Heracles game and Holman seems like a decent player. He had some good runs, piercing through the defense but when he's in front of the goal he seems a little indecisive. If he'd shoot more often then he'd be far more dangerous.
I hope I see Mancini celebrate like this again in a matter of weeks.
You can see both him and Platt really are living it in these days. Mancini doesn't show much emotions when he's angry á la Sven, but when he's really glad he really shows it.

quite a big talk for someone who finished 4th in a pretty managable group
but you're probably right it wouldn't be nice for either team if we faced each other that much

FINALLY....SUNHILEGEND HAS COME BACK......TO NEOGAF.COM
Spurs have taken 121 corners since they last scored from a corner situation. That is shockingly bad. I have no doubt that a team like United, City or even Chelsea would have scored from one of the 13 corners we had yesterday. Only 5 beat the first man for fuck's sake. How can players like Van Der Vaart and Modric be so shit at dead balls? I say we let Bale and Assou-Ekotto take every set-piece for the rest of the season.
The thing is that Bale is excellent at dead balls, when we got him from Southampton he was known as a set-piece specialist. For some reason VDV is the default taker even though he is utter shit and Modric is just as bad. I don't know why Redknapp doesn't just tell them not to take them. It's embarrassing.

You were missed. Did you enjoy the games? 6 Point lead is still a lot though.
I expect gifs of Wrestlemania on April 1.

Only watched the Barca match in full. Nice to see Messi break the record at home. They have definetly stepped up their game in the league, there was a period a few weeks ago where they looked like they had given up. I'm not holding my breath but I can't help but get excited at the prospect of going for the treble again. I know 6 points is alot, but 3 of them points are in Barca's hand as they have yet to play Madrid at home.
However if I had a choice I'd rather they win the CL then the Copa and the League.
Haven't followed wrestling since the attitude era, although I will be watching if only to see The Rock back headlining Wrestlemania.
Don't worry this time I'm back for good.
Welcome back, Sunhi! To celebrate, we need Hannover vs. Bayern gifs this weekend
Also this - http://spoughts.co.uk/2012/03/22/243/ was really good
Amitai wrote it if I'm correct? Very well written and sums up basically what's wrong with English media if not the game itself. The stuff about Rooney and Luiz was great
Awful blog name though hahaha, sounds like a type of potato

True, CL is the last trophy of the season and the biggest. Get the last laugh
Biggest chance though is CL + Copa. La Liga is still too far imo.
Even if we beat Madrid, they need to lose 1 game or draw 2 more while we win every one of our games. Doesn't hurt to be hopeful though lol.
And yeah was great to see Messi break the record, the guy is just amazing. You just run out of stuff to say lol. Incredible.
SunhiLegend, Will you be doing F1 this weekend? Off-topic but, loves me some F1.
Yep. Spot on.
Yep. Spot on.

VDV isn't too bad at free kicks, Modric is shit at them, and neither of them are great at corners. We're shit at attacking them though. And at defending them.
9gag has devoted quite a bit of attention towards Torres lately.
He cant be trusted Chelsea, you're safe...
How dare people try and look for positives, eh.

Off Course.
BA just drove it over. Thank christ.
Someone picked it up and brought it back when they realized it was
a) not theirs
b) covered in fuck-off locks.
Any underwear stolen?

Ronaldo yelling Solo Robar! at the end of the Villareal game. Pretty much saying they were just robbed lol. What the hell.
Some reports saying that the Madrid players went into Villareals locker room and tried to fight, cr7 took off his shirt lol. This is all according to Elperiodico. Don't know if it's true but it is funny.
I am looking forward to the next round of La Liga games. Madrid will either crumble or annihilate Sociedad.

It's the connotations of these 'positives' that irk me, and the writer. That we should pat ourselves on the back for showing compassion to a young man having a heart attack. It is our obligation as human beings to be compassionate in this situation, and not something we leave at the turnstile when we enter a football ground.
Nope. Some top quality underwear, too.
Reading Robert Hughes' book on Barcelona - the city, not so much the club. Much recommended.
I don't necessarily agree with the minutes of applause because it seems more fitting for someone that's died, but I think the reaction of everyone at White Hart Lane that night and the hospital should be proud of themselves.

I remember badly dislocating my knee at indoor and asking for the ice.
Someone came back with a plastic bag of tapwater.
The love and affection they showed at that time will stay with you forever.

Swap deal for Jenas. I think Comolli would probably go for that!
