Which is of course the critical part of the CL anyways...

Haven't you learned that when a Mourinho side qualifies to the next round via an away penaldo, it's because Mourinho is fucking genius of the game? Or that when Bayern beat a ten-man Shaktar 7-1 (or was it 7-0?) it's because they are two levels above us, and Lucho is poor man's Pep? Or that when...

Did I say that he is mediocre in general? No, I said that he is prone to some fuck-ups. He is no Nesta for example. End of. Take it or leave it. What are you trying to say about Roma then? That they are somehow great? Or more in general, and more to the point, are you denying the claims of...

Just goes on to show you what an absolute monster he was back in his Sevilla and in his early seasons with us, especially his first.

No. Watch them draw Monaco. :pep: Dante played 4000mns for Bayern last season, as well as 2500 this season so far. That may be down to injuries this season, but he has been an integral part of their team for quite some time.

I would! What is it that makes Roma so spectacular as a 3rd tier team anyway? Their line-up belongs to a retirement home if we are being honest. So the reason why Boateng totally misjudged that ball for J. Martinez was that Dante was somewhere around in the vicinity? Was that the reason also...

Let me get this str8: You believe that your assertion that for example Borussia Dortmund a team that is 9th in the 3rd best league in Europe, a team that was hammered 6-2 on aggregate by Juventus -in the same Champions League where their alleged "defensive solidity"- would hold the upper hand...

No, you are already horrifically wrong, since some of those teams have been already embarrassed in the CL while we are still going strong. We have also beaten some of those teams you have mentioned and are ahead of them in the league. We have also been the best performing team in Europe by far...

Some thoughts on your very interesting post. a) Managers are not as influential as most fans/pundits tend to believe (or pretend to do believe) I have been saying this for ages! Managers are the most overrated aspect of football by far. The psychological reasons behind this are all too...

Since you are provoking me. This is what you said back then: And this is what I said, there and then: Don't say you did not ask for it.

And since we have already wiped the floor with the Champions of Spain domestically, that sounds very nice indeed! I wouldn't be so certain that we will be facing the German champions in the final if we do in fact draw The Old Lady. Real Madrid (and even Atletico) are more than capable of...

The point that the defenders of Neymar are trying to make, is that his contribution is even more important than his -as you said- outstanding numbers would suggest. He has scored in multiple big games, multiple openers, very little binge scoring against already destroyed opponents, and he also...

But then again, no one will ever be... Football forums have this knack of obsessing over some promising players all the time, before they have remotely justified they hype. Don't get me wrong, he may become great and all, but it is still early days yet. He also has some very obvious weaknesses...

What about Christina's goals? How much do they count? Or Aguero's for example, who has been scoring at a far higher rate in the mighty EPL, than in the poor two-horse race La Liga. But no, we should only apply the time-filter that BBZ has discovered to Neymar!

Henry/Ibra/Villa/Pedro/Alexis could never do what the young Brazilian is currently doing this season. Neymar can very easily surpass Eto'o's great 08/09 season but playing out wide and taking no penaldos/set pieces!!! Simply astonishing! And Neymar is doing anything but statpadding. Out of his...

Most certainly! On another note, I am sure that @BBZ8800, was not complaining so much when Citeh and Liverpool 100+ scored last season in their own league.

@BBZ8800 So kind of you to calculate those statistics. But it would be instructive if you did the same with the EPL/Serie A/Bundesliga as well. It is not just La Liga that is oligopolistic, but all the major leagues. Edit: And having said that La Liga is a two-horse race (not really...

:lucho: 1. Mega-performance in a big game once again. 2. Looking excessively for Messi as others have noted as well. This juvenile thing must stop, it does not matter who scores the fucking goals, only that we win. OK, I know that for forward players goals always matter, but still, Lucho...

0-2 Neymar, Messi

9th minute, takes it down from Valdes (I think) skips past Anderson and Park (not sure it was Park) and sets Eto'o on his way! Genius Iniesta, my all time favorite player! His form in late 2009 was the best football I have ever seen (outside of Messi) and by far the most imaginative and...
