What's bigger than being Champions of THE WORLD THE WOOOOORRRRLLLLLD

i don't know all their ages but i'm pretty sure only Almunia, Hleb and Silva were senior players. Even if you want to count Van Persie he went off pretty sharpish. You could count Senderos a a mighty big strtch but not really. Who were the others. I too mentioned the Manc angle when my mother seemed to be far too upset about donny's loss for a women who's sole footballing knowledge comes from me Posts merged: we've never actually replaced Mcmanaman for my money

watching Hleb yesterday you could understand exactly what he meant. Although Lupoli should have scored from a Hleb pass Posts merged: Why are there always these ridiculous fix allegations. Apparently the draw for the third round qualifiers was fixed so we'd get everton and the champion's league draw was probably fixed so that chelsea got an easy team and avoided barca Posts merged: Oh leave off. There were fans on the radio last night complaining that arsenal players had the temerity to celebrate. They were a bunch of 19 year old kids bar 3 of them who had fought back from behind twice against a team playing the game of their life. Sorry if the precious underdogs didn't win against arsenal youth but it happens

Well can I just say that I've played CB to quite a high standard* and as such am in the ultimate postion to judge and i think he'll score goals given a run. *Marked a former Aberdeen forward out of a game once (even though he scored) but you could tell he was class.

yes but barca players do things like bacheels and nutmegs and 15 pass moves and that goes against everything John L stands for. You can't expect a man to sacrifice all his principles on a whim. For me the equation goes. I hate chelsea. I want chelsea to lose. Not very complicated i know but heartfelt nonetheless. Imagine losing to chelsea or chelsea winning anything. it's too horrible.

I had to add the qualifier because otherwise someone would have said "so you think baros is as good as shevchenko". They are similarish and from the top strikers if baros was like any of them then it's sheva

least deco runs about a bit. If barca had their wingers right up pitch like they normally do and riquelme in CM just strollling they'd get overrun

It's the only way he'll ever get any sense

I know shevchenko is much better but in terms of styles thats what baros should aim to emulate as the the top striker he is most similar to. I don't think that that is an outlandish statement

not a chance you could replace deco or xavi with riquelme

where would you put him in the barca team though. He is fantastic by the way. The first time i saw him was when he was murdering Carragher in midfield in an under20s tourny and he was just a class apart

Aston Villa 0v2 Man Utd Everton 1v1 Bolton Fulham 1v1 Blackburn Man City 2v1 Birmingham Portsmouth 1v1 West Brom West Ham 2v2 Newcastle Wigan 2v1 Charlton Arsenal 2v0 Chelsea Middlesbrough 1v1 Tottenham

Kallon is from the same place as my parents. I was hoping he was gonna turn out to be good and lead Sierra Leone to glory

I used to really like Di Canio when he was over here. I haven't the words to describe my feelings now.

I think the standard view of "dum footballer" and what Di Canio is are two different things

I've wanted chelsea to win three games all season and those are the three they've conspired to lose. i hate them. If arsenal win then we are potentially 6 points behind chelsea and we still have to play them. We play the game for the glory not a champion's league spot so we can kick on from there and the motivation of being that close to the leaders will keep the lads going even if we don't catch them. I'm already learning all the arsenal player's surnames so i can join in their pre-match celebrations

On Deco it was only when i saw him for barca that i realised what he could do. I thought Rui Costa gave him a lesson in how to be a team's playmaker in Euro2004 where deco was poor. Deco and Steg are obviously more gifted than Lampard but i still reckon deco and Lampard shouldn't swap as their effectiveness would decline in each other's team

I like Arsenal and hate chelsea and we want to finish top so no-brainer

What about their lack of success before that though RiH, 1988 aside. TbH i reckon their lack of penalty taking ability in 96, 98 and 2000 is what really held them back. That and a Maniche special. You're right though. If they are embarrasing the nation everytime they speak then just send them home or don't let them speak. Harmony is more important. I think bogarde is different to the rest of the players you mention though RiH. Those boys can play. Evans was interested in bogarde. Sheesh

They are both better suited to where they are

I never rated him going back to his Ajax days. I don't know how he played for them AC and Barca. I suggest his ability is the reason he didn't feature much

Is it because you already know that they lost their right back, centre half, centre midfielder and playmaker and talisman as well as their exceptional manager who they had to replace twice in about 2months.

Can't remember but i don't think so. It was still better than Zlatan's anyway I think Baros is more similar to shevchenko but nowhere near as good
