Meh, that was more a case of poor performances in individual matches than something that suggests an issue with the team overall - apart from the obvious case of not having good defensive cover outside of our main defenders.
Spanked my Norwich, Fulham and Spurs (we let in 14 goals against those 3 teams alone in the respective matches) while not having our strongest team out says a lot. Norwich especially when we had a horrendous makeshift back 4.
We still went the first 11 games of the season with one of the best GA numbers in the league, and have the joint second highest amount of clean sheets in the league.
I hope nobody on here who uses Twitter has seen the disgusting #saveched, #justiceforched other such nonsense this weekend.
A section of United fans have publicly named the victim and have been giving her dogs abuse all weekend. They're setting up petitions left, right and centre, and Facebook and Twitter are hot with abusive messages about the victim and about calls for a retrial.
They are fucking awful. The Tevez saga was embarrassing, their attempts to sue us for being awarded preference in the 2018 World Cup stadium bidding was silly, but this is just downright sinister. They are an abomination.
If we make it into the CL you bet your arse I'll be in the city centre they day it happens. I'll be sure to document on video just how crazy of a day that could be.

When you play at home, you should be able to concede a fluke goal and still win. Unfortunately that requires scoring at least a goal more than your opponents.
We had some 30 shots and didn't score a goal. Don't deserve a win if you can't get the ball in the fuckin net!!

WOW at Everton today. I cannot believe my eyes. They defied expectations, no doubt. Leading away at Old Trafford and then conceding twice usually means game over. Heck, then it is 3-1 you think it's definitely over - then at 3-2 there may be some even action but at 4-2?? GAME OVER. 4-4??? WOW. Hats off to Everton for their persistence when the odds of drawing looked impossible. If only Barca had this mentality yesterday.
Also, hats off to Juve. It's a good time for them and many Madrid gaffers, after not having won a league title in years, happy for you guys. I look forward to seeing Juve in the Champions League
Thank you Willkiller. I enjoy writing back to all of you myself. That truly was a snoozefest, the Arsenal-Chelsea game. I'm just happy we didn't lose. You're a Newcastle fan right? You guys are beasting at the moment. I'd be so happy to have a player up front who's effective like Cisse.
It melts my heart to hear such a comment from a United fan. You guys, collectively, played a big part in making me want to throw away the hate I had for your club. Thanks bro!
Did you buy anything in the HORRIBLY HORRIBLY HORRIBLY OVERPRICED Nou Camp store? Have a walk around the city? Or do the Camp Nou experience tour?
Edit: It hurt to see Tello play so badly. I love the guy. But he was AWFUL today. He should have been pulled off at half time for Alexis. The big occasion got to him.
Messi <3 I only bought a few things from the store. As you said, it really is QUITE PRICEY :/ I bought a book on Barcelona, a scarf which I wore around my neck in the classico, and...wait for it...a pack of Barca-branded crisps!! Potato flavored, very decent! There was a wonderful yellow training kit I wanted to buy, but they only had the XL size!
I had a walk around the city, it sure is beautiful! Did you get to do that yourself? One thing I did not enjoy much is the food to be honest. City is quite expensive too! The Camp Nou experience was FANTASTIC!!! I loved those touch screens!! Very, very well done honestly, the whole thing.
As for Tello, it does hurt because like you I highly admire him. Alexis should have started - same goes for Fabregas. Also, Pique should have been part of a FOUR man defense, with Busquets moved up. Damn it Pep.
I like scrolling though the fady multiquote post knowing I am in there somewhere because he is too polite to skip anyone What also makes me smile is the fact that fady was doing the epic multi quote posts before we had a mulitquote function.
Haha you know me too well Messi I simply enjoy chatting with most of you people, and you're among the favorites so it's a no brainer when it comes to replying to you.
I wish you were in my place instead pulga, as you would have seen your team at a pivotal moment, and you would have loved every minute of the experience. Thanks for the kind words btw, I appreciate it I like being a peaceful fan.
Fady - were you fairly low ,behind and to the right of the goal that was Reals in the first half and Barcas in the second? I swear I saw you on TV. Probably my imagination but I figured I would ask.
What :0?? I was there! First half I was behind Casillas and second behind Valdes I was wearing a Barca jersey with a Barca jacket and a scarf! Is that the same area you are referring to?
Why bro? Man City have to face UNITED (a win is far from guaranteed, even a loss may happen) and NEWCASTLE AT SPORTS DIRECT ARENA (1 word - Cisse). If City manage to win all their remaining games, it would be a miracle.
If i was an Arsenal fan, I agree. But yes, if both teams scored a few goals it would have been more exciting; even if it was a draw. Chelsea's attacks were horrribbbblllleeee.

The whole game was horrible. Even Arsenal, we had a few chances but we were crap. Our midfield was disjointed, our attack ineffective and the only reason we never conceeded was because Chelsea's attack sucked as much as ours.
Poor game and that surprised me given what was at stake for both teams. I mean, when you are bringing on Andre Santos to try and assist in a goal what does that tell you? lol We're completely void of ideas....

Lol, yeah all in your barca gear! You were looking very angry as Iniesta didnt get a call or something. Your face was right there in the shot. I was like "that looks like Fady!" So awesome it might have been you! If you get a recording of the game (I watched on GOL TV) you will see yourself or your look alike!!
