Definitely, I've even stopped ragin' at Di Maria
Not nervous about Bayern at all, think we will be too strong at home.
More bugging me that I can't decide whether I want Barca or Chelsea in the final!
The risk of losing to Barca is there, but the reward is huge, and there is a bit of a psychological edge to Madrid now IMO.
However, Chelsea is interesting too due to Mou
I wouldn't mind if they squashed Liverpool for the FA Cup, though.
In fact, I'll be gutted if they don't.
Heaven forbid we not want "och, fitba in this country is bent" Kenny to get his mittens on a proper trophy.
It is unfortunate. Can't stand QPR.
Slightly worried, perhaps without substantive cause, about Everton.
I still can't believe how shite Spurs were yesterday. A disorganised shambles, Redknapp has not instilled enough discipline in the side, too many players are roaming around and not keeping the team in shape. We never look likely to score when Bale, Lennon, VDV etc are all farting around in front of the penalty area, not when the opposition have 10 behind the ball.

Wow. CL second-legs are going to be really interesting this week after that Clasico. And just saw the Newcastle highlights. Some real class in that side - Cabaye, Cisse, Ben Arfa, Tiote, Ba, etc. Thoroughly deserving of CL football.
Yes, please. I want to see Nani start, but I also get the feeling Young might. I wouldn't mind Giggs on the wing much, either, with Welbeck's work-rate; he's the best crosser of the ball in the side. But I think he'll be saved for use against tiring legs.

Yay. The fire alarm just went off in my building.

There was actually a unit with a fire but the fire department cleared us to head back inside. I could smell the smoke when walking in the hallway.
Lol at that picture with the tennis balls.
Just watched the match. How did Alves not get sent off? Lucky cunt. Good game though, Madrid were great. Pep is such a gentleman. Hopefully the squad follow suit, it always leaves a bitter taste in my mouth when Pep comes out and praises an opponent and then someone on the team moans about anti football and the like

I still want Modric at United. He's been great for two thirds of the season.
If it happens fairly rapidly and we don't get taxed like a Spanish colony for him, then I will not moan.
But if it takes all summer and we get milked for him - which I think is the likelier outcome - then fuuuck.
I think 40m is a fair price considering the market. Any more and we should look for cheaper alternatives.
Well, you'll be up against Daniel Levy...
Although how long is Modric's contract. If it's running out soon you could get him cheaper. Maybe.
ALeague decided by a dive, of a stupid fuckwit arsehole player
Ref got conned.
But then, why the fuck was a referee in their first season at that level appointed to the grand final
unbelievable. I am part of football in Australia and i often fucking wonder who the fuck is @ the wheel of this game here.

I feel we are going to the final too, it's just that we are getting closer to an even more important match. My heart can't take it.

2016.
lol. Yeah, only Chelsea and City are that daft.
Yeah Choc, that was pretty embarrassing. Airswing followed by a bit of a writhe when he hit the ground.
Well, it's pretty easy to see dives and the like on TV and say "I would never make such a mistake, this ref is a joke" (probably even more so if you are an actual ref) yet when in a real game, a game of huge importance such as an A-League final the challenge will be far greater.
Modric for 40m seems absurd given his form. The market has been ridiculous over the past two seasons but I think it'll drop down to normalcy soon. I could see Modric going to Chelsea or United for 25-30m.
I honestly don't see United willing to spend that much for Modric.
Indeed. That's the Llorente money.
If we were truly fucked, we wouldn't be top of the league.
I am aware that it is a popular article of faith that this United side is a Wolves-standard rabble held above water by prejudiced refereeing and Evil Fergie's charisma.
If City didn't have an awful crash in form, you wouldn't be top of the league, either. I know it hurts to hear it from a Liverpool fan, but anyone with two eyes and a brain to move them can see that the midfield is where United's glaring weakness is.
Bu... bu... Cleverley.
If we hadn't been unremittingly rogered by injuries, we would probably have won a fuckload more games.
*shades of doicare*
I know it must hurt like passing a kidney stone to concede it, but although we might not have the best midfield in the league any longer, we aren't awfully bad there.
Do we need a new midfielder ? Yes. Is there a midfield crisis ? No.
Okay, but my point is, it would hurt a lot more if you had a decent CM besides Carrick.
When I said midfield I meant central midfield - obviously Nani, Valencia and Young are adequate for a title challenging team on the left and right.
All I'm saying is United's team is like a race car without a steering wheel. You've got the power, the brakes, yada yada, but no matter how fast you go you're goin in a straight line. A Silva, Mata, Modric, or what have you would be a pretty deadly finishing touch.
But you're right. What I'm really saying is, I think Wolves have a better side, it's just that Ferguson manipulates the refs and the media to give United more points. You're lucky there's a conspiracy to keep you from relegation.
Perfect.

Fiorentina - Inter sure is early today. Only just woke up, don't feel like laughing at Inters misfortunes already.

Well I'm nervous. Win this and the City game looks cosy. Draw or lose and it's a colossal shot in the arm for City.
