Ah right, hmm, maybe he was there for Hazard thenDefo need a new LB. Evra has been shit for 2 years and he's getting on now, I love him and don't wanna see him ditched or anything...but needs must.
I think we can afford a 30-40m gross spend with Berbatov and, seemingly, Park on the way out this summer. Clyne - the young fullback from Crystal Palace who can play either side - looks to be on for close to free. And, yes, we need an alternative to, if not a replacement of, Evra with a stable injury record. It won't hurt Fabio's development much either, since Evra is the wrong side of 30 now. I doubt Martinez is leaving Bielsa's Athletic; M'Vila or Tiote or another midfielder who can be an alternative to Carrick seems like it should be essential. But it's Fergie, so he could trust in Anderson and Cleverley again, and maybe throw Pogba in the deep end; who knows? And given Fergie's comments to Berbatov's agent about injecting pace into the squad, I can see us buying a winger to replace Park - I'd lay better odds on an out-of-contract bargain like Junior Hoilett rather than Hazard, though. Also, never going to happen, but I'd love to see us move on Del Piero with a pay-to-play deal for a Larsson-esque role next season. However, I get the feeling Michael Owen might be too likeable for Fergie to move on. It's a pity Berbatov didn't get himself down to the racetrack. He'll likely be our fourth striker - and first player on the injury table - next season.
Oh-uh. Ibra badmouthing the club. You know what that means! Time to put that no. 11 jersey back in the closet, transfer incoming!
I still have Zlatan's no. 9 shirt in mine. :/
Speaking of players that might be moving, if the rumors are to be believed ... Luis Suarez. Apparently Juve, Roma (?) and PSG are getting ready for the assault in the summer. I realize that most people who aren't Liverpool fans (and even some that are) think he's an asshole, but I'm more interested in knowing what his reputation among Liverpool players - his teammates is. Is he liked well enough? He'll probably end up at PSG for an obscene amount of petrol money, but I'd still like to know, just in case Marotta manages to pull off a miracle. I wouldn't want us to get a locker room troublemaker.
lol sorry I just finished watching the game...
I love to watch Barça play. It's an absolute pleasure to watch the way they pass the ball, keep possession and create their attacks. There's no question that they're the best team in the world and I always enjoy watching them win.
Their diving and antics, even their two asshat goalkeepers can easily be overlooked. But throw in their entitled, annoying, righteous and downright insufferable fans and it's all off the table.
But I heart Messi (poster) because he doesn't have that awful entitled attitude.

I think everyone agrees that the first was a penalty. The second penalty the ball was not even in play yet, he was falling already when he finally hit the ball, that's what the refs takes makes them take a new corner for all the time.

Goal.com? I'd honestly be surprised if he didn't re-sign with Dortmund. He'd be an absolute bargain, though.
(I havent seen the game) Is that really the penalty? I see Puyol(?) grabbing the Milan player and getting tangled up with a falling over Barcelona player who is being grabbed by the Milan player.
If so, yeah thats pretty soft.
should have been a Red Card for dirty Puyol
Biscuits, and Alves are the two divers in Barca that I agree with you. Fans being obnoxious...those are found everywhere my friend.
As far as those 2 PK's. They were legit. I tried to be unbiased but what can I say? Antonini made a stupid tackle on messi for the 1st and Nesta thought he wouldn't be caught by tugging Biscuits shirt in ref's sight. really dumb of nesta especially since its biscuits of all Barca players lol.
If Chelsea wins and face Barca...and torres scores....an own goal...will it be the end of the world?
Well sure, and Puyols far worse rugby tackle is also a foul surely? Yeah I can see why this place must have been pretty angry at the time.
Goal.com needs a name more commensurate with its epistemological status.

I just want Chelsea gone from the CL so we don't have to be top 3 in order to qualify for next seasons CL.
I know Chelsea's chances are slim of winning but anything can happen on a football field so the sooner they are disposed off the better.

John Terry will lift that CL trophy and make every proper Englishman happy and proud.
i want chelsea out, ideally they'd knock out barcelona and then john terry would slip and fall when taking the penalty that would have won it all.
i know i've said something along those lines before, but that was one of the greatest moments in the history of sport, so it's important to bring it up again.

It would be stupid for him to bail out of Real Madrid at 24 based on rumours.

Wow lol. I hope the person that 'liked' 2 of those comments was him.
If you want a real laugh, open goal.com player ratings for the match and just read the comments. :lol
God damn some of these comments have 1500+ thumbs up lol.
Sure.

Those people cant even spell lol. What does that tell you? Either kids or dumb people making those comments on goal.com
I don't get why you're saying this at this point of the season? Are there any news rumours about Real trying to sell him?
They are probably fake I guess.

But according to Barça fans this year, Real Madrid has like 10 extra points from refs "mistakes" in La Liga
not only barça fans, even heavily biased spanish media say that. it is fact. But again, madrid's loudspeakers in spain are too powerful, they alter reality, they draw at vilarreal , with 2 penalties not given for the yellow team but they turn it into a robbery and leave the pitch without speaking to the media for almost a week. Just like with barça's games. Xavi nailed it, they don't know how to lose. There's always an excuse. of course if they win, with ref helping them , then Mou shakes hands with everyone and you now, refs are human and make mistakes.
It has become really tiring, even if penalties are penalties, or red or yellow cards are well shown, it is always a robbery. If it is the opposite way it is ignored by most or just human error and move on.

Silva is great, but he's not even the best (or 2nd best) CB in Serie A this season.

I'm a Barcelone>RM fan, but if we are to judge by the play of these two teams recently, I think RM will win. Barcelona is too sloppy in the back and not very effective in the front.

All hail Barzagli. Fifa commentator says his name in the most non-italian way. He is a beast in fifa, though his stats aren't that great. Maybe it's just me.
Who according to you is better than Silva at CB?
edit
Speaking of CBs I just googled Puyols girlfriend Malena Costa, wow. She must love him for his looks and personality.
It's pretty obvious Florentino wants Aguero at all costs, and AS posted something about a possible deal Higuain+10 millions for Aguero. They aren't exactly throwing shit at a wall to see if it sticks. Rumours have been rampant since last summer about Aguero and Madrid.
Who has been the best this season? I haven't watched a single Serie A game except for that really impressive Juve game at the start of the season where Vidal scored a fantastic volley off a lofted through ball over the defensive line.
<3 thanks dude
So.. Rumors over info from the official site stating they're not going to sell him?
http://www.realmadrid.com/cs/Satell...yone,_we_regard_Higuain_is_a_club_player_.htm
I think this was much clearer, no? And Ballack should have been sent off in the same match, easily. That would have slightly impacted the second leg. Also, Abidal's sending off was ridiculous.
So Ovrebo was shit during that game. Stark was shit in the first leg. Shit happens.
Oh, and Van Persie's red card last year against Barca? Should have been sent off for this (video). Also, Messi scored a clearly legitimate goal in the first leg that was disallowed for offside.
I really don't like to argue about this stuff, and two wrongs don't make a right.. but this conspiracy bullshit has really become annoying lately.
It's going to be a cracker! I think it will be much more enjoyable than Chelsea-Barca.
I get the feeling that most Bayern fans really hate Real Madrid. Why?

Maybe it's Mourinho? Since he beat them with Inter last time.
Most seem excited at the prospect of playing against one of the best teams in the world. It's a good test for Bayern to see how good they really are. I am really looking forward to it.
Lahm vs CRonaldo. Ribery vs Ramos, Robben vs Marcelo, Gomez vs the goal.
agree. only explaining part of the story is the problem here.
it's not really hate. it's more like a healthy rivalry between both teams since they have met each other pretty often. and i think bayern is the team who won the most games against madrid in the champions league. it's really a nice competition.
That's it for me. I don't want them to lose against Mourinho again!
Apart from that I certainly don't hate Madrid. Although I dislike some players like Sergio Ramos, but that is true for most clubs (even my own).
Really looking forward to those two games. Personally I hope playing the first game at home will be in Bayern's favour. If they win it (IF!), then they could concentrate on counterattacking at the Bernabeu.
We will see.
On the other side of the draw I see no real challenge for Barca from either Benfica or Chelsea.
Liverpool really needs to be a part of this again. It sucks being on probation. We've had some great matches against Real, Barca, et al. and we're good at kicking the other English teams out of the CL
The retro green one? It's great looking. How is the quality on it?
