I like Villa so I will say you need to fire that manager.
Link that Iniesta video you kept posting. Fatcao is going to join us don't worry.
I wish I was old enough to watch Kaka, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho bossing Europe.
This UK time? What time is this on US Eastern? Need to set up my alarm if it's early.
It was awesome. We won the game as well so I can appreciate it unlike that Iniesta goal.
Oddly enough each of them had a string of about five years where they couldn't be touched and won a ton of silverware. And then....for one reason or another fell off and were never the same.
6 AM eastern.

One of my favourite CL goals was Kaka's pass to Crespo and then the finish. Perfection. Part of what was an incredible final.
It's all Real Madrid's fault.
Ronaldinho never actually went to Real Madrid, but he was near by.
Holy fuck that's very early.
Thanks.Think I'll just set up the DVR and watch it whenever I wake up. But then again it sucks not following the live reactions to a match on mobilegaf while I watch it.. ggrrrrrr.

Arsenal v Barca highlights
Genuinely one of the most entertaining games in European football in the past few years
Commentary is pretty fun as well

Lovely liver shot by Pettis that was. Thought the fight might of been a little more competitive but Pettis was just oozing class and Cerrone looked a little clueless.
Pettis right now is my favorite fighter. Dude throws some sort of cartwheel kick I've never seen before.... then before the liver shot he does a wall walk knee to the face, that I didn't even catch in real time. They had to replay it before I could appreciate it.... Bendo vs. Pettis 2 plz.

Is twitter not working for anyone else? The app won't load any tweets and if I try to use the actual website it fails to the load the page and then launches the app which still doesn't work. Annoying.
Just checked. Working fine here.

The fuck?
Having technique doesn't mean they only care about being flashy. He has pretty good vision and I think is the most impressive from the reserves.

Cheers, must just be something up with my phone :-/
In other non football related news, everyone excited for the tennis?
Clegg's grumbling pessimism comes as some kind of surprise ?
You seem to have changed your tune on his dismissal. I mentioned it a while ago and it was not a possibility but a club like Aston Villa cannot be relegated. That is just too large a fall from grace.
It's not when you're top of the league with +6 points.
But I can see how you're confused with the concept of draws since you have more 'draws' than 'wins, Everton.
Must be really awkward for you supporting Italy when it's basically Juve.

Ready for Colombia to crush Venezuela in March papi?
I think he may get sacked, fan pressure may force it after another month of terrible results. But I also think he is not really the problem. I dont know what the problem actually is, we are very light in quality in midfield thats for sure, but beyond that our players are really not that bad.
Just something has been on a downward path for a few years now. I am really not sure what it is.
Maybe this is what relegated teams feel like? I dont know.

Our players aren't bad they are just raw and buckle under pressure. And now that we are under pressure every game because we are doing so bad they are struggling to find form. Really, we need the other shoe to drop. If we can get a few good results in a row we should be able to stay up and I think year 2 will be better. Even if we do end up in the Championship. I really do trust Lambert, and think that he has a long-term plan that he is implementing and unfortunately his first year isn't going as well as planned.
Paul Lambert brought this on himself. You have a very young squad, too many of your experienced players have been forced out. The treatment of Darren Bent for example. In Bent you have a proven goal scorer who you paid a lot of money for but the manager pushes him out for reasons unknown. Under Lambert you were always going to struggle defensively, just as Norwich did last season, but imo Aston Villa are fielding too many youngsters who are not quite ready for the intense pressure that Lambert's carelessness has now put them under.
He is riding a tight rope here because I feel Aston Villa's young players get their heads down when they conceed a goal and it results in conceeding more goals and when this happens your attack just dies as well.
Trusting Lambert you really shouldn't do. He left both his previous clubs in not so friendly circumstances and he will have no hesitation in doing the same to yoiu. If you go down and another premier league club comes for Lambert he will ditch you in a heartbeat.
Yup, yup. Good points both. Sigh. Not enjoying my football right now I have to admit. Trying times.

Other than Barca players, I really like many many Bayern players. They've had some great teams with fantastic players.
But I would be listing 20 players that way. If I had to pick just one, it would be Ronaldinho.
Legend
Nice pick, absolutely class pass + finish.
Barca lost and I still love watching that game. So good.
Bayern was so not important in the middle of the 2000s. It was all about italian, spanish and british clubs, or to be precise just arsenal and man u lol. man, it was always a pleasure to watch ronaldinho. and it was a pain in the ass to see us flopping in the champions league. which bayern fan doesnt remember how roy makaay scored 3 goals against us in one game. as revenge we bought him from la coruna the year after lol. i guess it's because of those bad times, this newly created bayern spirit still feels pretty new. we are one of the big clubs now. but still, even with all the money we are still not quite the same. I guess it's due to the fact we dont have to rely on any big investors. Anyway, feels good to be there where we are right now.
Little random Bayern photo from 2005
Just look at Ballack, Lucio or Hargreaves lol. And it even features Sebastian Deisler (left from Kahn) who used to be one of the biggest talents Germany ever had. But he retired from football due to depression. Man, we even had fucking Ismael and Paulo Guererro back then lol.

Harry can give Fabio back then, the jowly cunt.
I read that earlier. Harry really angry.
There's nothing he does better than crushing the spirit of his squad players.
Should fuck off and manage Guernsey or summat.
Hope QPR go down and then down again.
Go on, talk yourself out of any responsibility you poxy fucking villain. Poor old Arry has been led astray and sold duff players. What a calamity for the old stager.
You knew the side you put out were going to let you down and crumble against MK Dons ? Well, some fucking manager you are then. More embarrassing than Rafa. Which is really fucking down there in the scheme of things.

So we got these book/magazine things into work, 20 years of premier league and 20 years of Champions League. Been flicking thru the CL one, brings back memories!
Remember when Monaco were good for like 2 seasons? :lol

Harry should be ashamed of himself for saying those things. He just shitted on the entire QPR fanbase by admitting he fielded a team he knew would lose to a team 2 divisions below his side.
That's disgraceful imo. The FA should give the cunt a fine for that. What about the QPR fans who paid their money to watch Harry do that? What a cunt!

RAWK is tediously caught up with this Brazilian foetus
this about that coutinho guy? i don't see it. at least not for the EPL.
The person who said that probably hasn't even seen him play, except for clips on YouTube.
I'm excited about him because I know so little. Think people need to realise that Henderson and jonjo are probably better than him at the moment. Coutinho will need a lot of time
I dunno.
The Inter equivalent of MUFC facebook going bananas because they sold him isn't really evidence in his favour.
He is, in some measure, "anointed by Rafa" though, which means a lot.
Like elseanio says, it's a bit mysterious. You could convince someone that Taarabt was a top top top player through Youtube.
