Abidals injured, so are Puyol and Thiago. (+ Afellay, Villa and Fontas) Sanchez of course also injured.
Got injured last game, here's the clip of Pep yelling and raging when Sanchez got injured. Complains to him about playing 90minutes for Chile.
How did I miss those injurys? when did they happen?
edit: Maaaan, Pep is being a dickhead in that video. Why play him if he knew he had a knock.
Actually yes I think you are right.
Apparently Milan have lodged a complaint about the pitch. "Too flat, and what was all that green shit on it?"
Stolen from twitter but I'm tired and upset.
We're playing home, everything should go ok.
Why? Arsenal played well and showed their character. CL qualification should be your prime target!
Apparently Pogba will be on £20,000, 4 year contract. His agent gets £1.7m

If the move happens, we definitely need to buy a midfielder in the Summer.

Eriksen please!!!
You're like a day too late, man.
This puts the Daily Mail seal on it, though.
So it's a made up story?
I wish it is.
If true i'm guessing Fergie must be pissed that 2 young players he thought would be future United stars are/will be playing at different clubs next season.
It's going to happen to all clubs, though. It's only getting easier to get at academy and reserves lads.
Clubs take a minimal risk, agents get a nice cut and a boosted profile.

He'll get over it alot quicker than the fans will.
Pogba and Morrison are both great talents, definitely the two best talents from our youth system over the last few years. But people are making the mistake of assuming they were nailed on to be top players. It's never that simple and it's very rare that a player breaks through from the academy and goes on to be a hit in the first team.
The club has done the right thing. Morrison was more trouble than he was worth. Pogba was offered a deal. He didn't want to accept it. That's fair enough, it's his decision and he's made it. There was no need at all for us to pay him an unrealistic amount or throw him straight into the first team. A young player should be patient, work hard, wait for his chance and when it comes...take it.
Pogba was in the youth team less than a year ago. He is crazy is he thinks he's worth £20k a week or good enough for first team football. I hope he gets game time at Juve and fulfils his talent...but if he doesn't, I'll smile a little to myself.
FWIW, Morrison is alot more talented than Pogba and Ferguson willingly let him go, so I'm sure the loss of Pogba will be easier to deal with.
Usually when a youngster leaves Bayern because he wants to be first team player already and a foreign club comes around to offer him that, the kid fails.
Last case at Bayern was Christoph Knasmüller. Inter came around offering him money and first team football. van Gaal and the board said fuck him, he leaves to Inter gets zero play time, and 6 months later now he's at FC Ingolstadt 04 haha. The kid was talented, but he ruined his career already.

I dont know when those injuries happened either, but the talk in the Barca forums is that Thiago and Abidal got injured during international duty, damn friendlies..
The full squad for the Leverkusen game:
Víctor Valdés y Pinto;
Dani Alves, Gerard Piqué, Muniesa, Montoya, Bartra y Adriano;
Mascherano, Sergio Busquets, Cesc Fàbregas, Xavi, Iniesta, Keita, Jonathan dos Santos y Sergi Roberto
Messi, Pedro, Cuenca y Tello
Lad I went to school with is finally getting his chance at Utrecht, recently.

It was looking for a while like, unbelievably, leaving the A League was a bad career move, but he's quality. Bulk would help, but I think a good Championship side would be well-advised to have a look.

Wilbury, you have the emotional strength of a scared bunny rabbit.
Because I have no team to talk about because they are rubbish, my current form in FIFA is remarkable.
Ok going by that, I predict:
Valdes
Alves-Pique-Masch-Adriano
Keita-xavi-busi/iniesta
Messi-Cesc-Cuenca
Wow, nice!

That's great, I just had a kid I grew up with and mainly played baseball with because he was way to good at hockey to play with me get called up to the Boston Bruins of the NHL. It is crazy to think about shit like that.
Looks like a good player. Wonder how he'd do in europe, though.
Went to my local sports shop today and they had gotten all the new euro kits in. So I tried on:
Spain home and Away
Germany Home
France Away
Netherlands Away
Portugal Away
Ireland Away
and a bonus
Brazil Away
Lucky to have made it out of that shop with my money still in my wallet. All of them are sexy as hell. I really love the material in adidas kits this go around. Germanys is sweet.

I know they played well but it's awful knowing that they were so close to making history by turning Milan over.

I'm about to have an expensive summer of kit buying. U.S. kit, Germany Away, and possibly that Dutch Away kit. Napoli kit, plus whatever team I played as in the Airtricity Derby last night
Basically, Tommy plays like I want Ashley Young to.
That's pretty inconsiderate!
I didn't ask for help, intent was there if they werent such thiefs. 85 euro no thank you.
For the record, I went in to buy the spain away but it didnt fit, needed the next size. I was just curious about the fit of the others as of recent weight loss. I will buy them in the us this june.
Messi is keeping kitbag.com afloat.
Most of my kit buying is done in person, again due to weight. I need to know how it fits. I am keeping nike/adidas afloat though.
I never ask for help in stores.
Good idea. I just blew an embarrassing sum buying trousers online.
It was like wearing a sarong. Shirts are fine, but I was a mentalist to think I could guess about trousers.
Wait, is it a shopping no no to try on stuff for size, not asking for help, and then not buy it? I have never head of this. If the spain kit fit I would have bought it. Somtimes I try on kits and I decide to buy it. Nearly happened with netherlands today.
Nike have been really bad recently with their kits being all different shapes and sizes. some have shorter sleeves or tighter sleeves. so I do trust buying it online anymore.

Eh, I wouldn't give a fuck.
Some of the women's fashion shops get salty about it because they are mad at getting undercut so hard online. They've just got to deal with it, though. Some of the dumber ones periodically make noise about introducing a small charge to try something on. Which is embarrassing, frankly.
I don't give a fuck personally. I mind my own business, I am tall enough to get stuff from higher shelves ect. I have been burned too many times buying stuff without trying it on. I don't think anyone paid any attention to me today anyway.
I am actually the type of person who is easily pressurised, so if someone had come and asked me if I wanted help with the netherlands kit. I would likey have paniced and bought it :/. Awful habit has burnt me many times.
It's not really. Everyone does this.

I think fan antagonism might reach a dangerous point if these senior players keep it up.
