Wow. Talk about delusion.

I can't believe you actually think that we would buy him just to get on over on you. Its laughable you actually believe we would make any decision like that.

I will admit the Tevez poster probably was a dig at utd but apart from that.

No Biz between the two of us I'm not the delusional one
 
I can believe that Ronaldo felt that Real Madrid should have enforced its players votes not to vote for messi/iniesta...Instead they backed the players and allowed them to vote another spanish player, Iniesta instead of going for Ronaldo.

Do you have some inside info we don't ? or are you just assuming all this based on his enormous ego.

Since when did Zenit have so much money?

I think since the whole Anzhi thing they've got proper competition so the owners seemed to have realised it's going to take proper money to get through the Champions League.


They've got a pretty amazing stadium currently under construction, and they're owned by this company - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gazprom

is the largest extractor of natural gas in the world and the largest Russian company.

So yeah they've always had the resources available.
 
Bah, Hulk being wasted away in Russia kinda blows. We can only hope we get to see Neymar join Barca and watch him on sky sports. Russian football is awful to watch.
 
To be honest Messi's goals were just gifted to him a penalty and a deflected cross sat up for a tap in. He has seriously great games but last year despite the goal tally I think he played less well, he became a striker, out and out really and most of his goals came like that though with some fantastic finishing, the previous 3 years so so many ridiculous goals where he ran through half a team himself before scoring. Meh, I dunno just when people say another 2 goals it doesn't mean the same it did 2 years ago.

Either way, decent performance from Barca, great goal by Villa the pass from Cesc was great but he controlled it on the chest, one touch away from the defender but still towards goal and a cool finish, he's such a class little player.

Real, shocking all around, I will be pretty pee'd off if Di Maria doesn't get a huge ban, someone shoved him, barely even badly and he turned and threw the biggest punch I think i've seen tried in football, just a huge swing and the guy just ducked out the way(by luck). Ridiculous reaction, then he fell, sat straight up and started protesting his innocence, no injury, nothing, ALonso ran over pushed him to the ground said something then Di Maria started writhing around on the floor like he'd been shot or something. Pathetic ref, it was a straight red, even if he gave him a yellow he was already on one so would have been off.

Likewise Higuain kicked out after a bit of a barge, caught the player, could easily have seen red for it though it was tame in comparison to Di Maria.

Navas was pretty awesome getting to the box but final ball wasn't that good, from the chances made Sevilla should have won by a way bigger margin. Di Maria, Ozil, Alonso, Ronaldo, Higuain, Arbeloa, Khedira all stank, all terrible, really terrible.

I've said before that Mourinho seems to inspire a certain way of thinking, a certain style of team building that promotes short term success but seems to suck long term. Inter, who were winning before he joined, went one step further then completely and utterly fell apart. Chelsea fell apart, Real already seem to be falling apart. He got fired before he could have a bad season at Chelsea(he had a bad start to one though), he jumped ship before the same happened at Inter and he probably should have jumped ship before it happens at Real.

Half the Real team was always over rated, but throw in, over confidence, and something missing, maybe the hunger to win or the belief they need to try/train hard and they have become really awful overnight. Ozil/Di Maria rarely show up in the big games at all, why they still get starts against top 4/top Euro teams I have no clue. Alonso is always pap, Khedira gets around a lot but ultimately does very little. Ronaldo with no service and no interplay on the team is relatively easy to mark out of a game.... defensively they don't have a single top defender in the back four, four mistake prone, rash challenging, violent and stupid defenders.
 
Safe to say that La Liga is over now? 8 points between Real and Barca. Real have looked awful this season in the league.

AC Milan also lost 1-0 last night. Currently sitting 13th in Serie A after 3 games.

Man City must fancy their chances this week vs Madrid.

I don't know why so many people thought City were the underdogs in this tie. Maybe their inexperienced in this league but they have the team to beat any team.

RM right now are vulnerable and I will be sweating City on Tuesday night. If teams like Sevilla and Getafe can beat them then I am sure City can also.

Saying all of that, I don't think either team have been impressive at the start of this season.

I am going for a 2-2 draw.
