intense enigma

Bloody international breaks

If the transfer goes through, I wonder if the old fool would shake hands with Rafa before and after our matches against them this season.

sh!!t player that Royston Drenthe

This is more like..... Anyway, I am all wet with the excitement of the new stadium and i don't even know how feck it looks like Hope it's worth the wait

What about Gavin Mahon?

What's thier problem? It's their s*** fecking performances that put them in this position in the first place so why have a dig at Rafa when they should be slapping themselves or each other in the faces. Do they honestly think Rafa gives two flying f***s about what happens to Sheffield United or Wigan?

Imo, some managers start with instant success in the league and disappear while some build their way to the top via the cups before dominating the league....Old whisky breath won cups first didn't he before winning titles with United. So we are potentially looking at a serious domination of the premiership once we start winning the league.

So Mascherano was right afterall when he said Rafa sees things before they happen

Just hope the club dont get punished to heavily for this act of stupidity seeing that it could be involved in the ref's or fourth officials report I was sober

It takes some doing to hit Mikel and/or Drogba bang on target in the midst of that goal mouth melee from the terraces.

Thought I saw Drogba picking up a few bottles and walking towards the fourth official.

If you pull it off, drinks on me

That would be brilliant. The ref awarding us a penno when Cech slips after taking a goal kick.

Definitely...the appeal of Bramall lane ain't all that great

They can say what they want but most people know what Real are like. So many are likely to believe Rafa than those @rseholes from Madrid.

Wonder if Mascherano's performance will have an effect on Momo like how Didi went up another level after Biscan signed.

Daniele de Rossi

I don't care what others say but that side with Barnes, Beardsley, Aldridge, Hansen and co would out pass and out smart the Arsenal's invincibles anyday.

I think so too. We haven't played them in a while and are probably due a match with them i guess. Either way, we fear no one in Europe. Bring em on I say.

That is so harsh on Bramble

I remember Barcamania saying something along the lines of 'man to man we're a inferior team to Barcelona in most parts of the pitch'. Imo, Barca were sh!!t over two legs and to be honest, i've seen league two sides defend a lot better than they have done, not just in this tie but, over the years and that's being complimentary. And to compare Puyol to Carra is the worst kind of insult that can be directed towards good ol Jamie. Oh, Oleguer makes Babb look like Baresi. And Barcamania, long may your sh!!t defence and decline continue.

It's often easier said than done.

I don't know....failure, i feel, is quite a strong word to use. The domestic scene is not quite what we expected but we still have Europe to look forward too. Anyway, imo, seasons like this often provide important lessons for the team that can only bode well for the future. Rafa is BOSS........and so is Momo

I remember reading sometime in November that he was under going treatment for an addiction problem. River Plate's President said it was a social addiction that is not about drugs or something to that effect. Not entirely sure what that means but never followed up since reading that piece.
