Start a full-strength side. Once we go 3-0 up (if we ever do) take off Iniesta+Messi+Neymar.

It is the the Holy Grail of club football, not just extra bonus.

Lots of teams playing pretty average football (or let's say, just OK football) and have weak defenses, like to pretend they are just another version of FC Barcelona. :lucho:

In the rest of Europe (make that, the rest of the world) the players of United today would have had all their family members cursed in the most vulgar and imaginative ways you can either think or not think of. Which is the best way to go? I am not sure to be honest.

United fans: "Attack, attack, attack" :facepalm:

Another beauty from Pirlo! Juventus are a very solid, if unspectacular team. Edit: As I say this, Juventus concede to Torino, 1-1 at HT. Still, no worries for Juve, their title has long been in the bag. Edit 2: Torino turn it around, Juventus indifferent.

Barca fans can identify with this over the years. Still, has no real impact on you. Try having this in a CL semi.

Awesome header by the Everton player there!

United lucky that Liverpool could not win yesterday.

We have faced an avalanche of tough games in recent weeks and months. Must-win games keep on coming, and we will have to face Bayern (a team that has precisely zero domestic worries) 2 times in six days, and then, after 3 and a half days have to travel at the Calderon. There is no club that can...

I am not sure they are much stronger (Chelsea and PSG) than Juventus, but they are at the very least equal. City are not any worse than Juve either. What gives Juventus some hope here, is that Real Madrid has to win a game at the RSP right before the first semi, and a home game vs Valencia...

Obviously. But I was referring to the "total wins" and "away wins in a season" meme that was mentioned earlier by other posters. For us the big mission now is to go through to the CL final. Then we see.

The Calderon game will be right after our 2nd CL semi. I don't know how much intensity we would be able to muster at that stage to be honest. Atletico better be assured of 3rd place by then, or we will be having problems over there.

a) When will he play his first game though? He is clearly not ready to play yet, otherwise he would have played yesterday. (Martinez I mean) b) Will Ribery and Benatia be ready for the 2nd leg? Will they play either on Tuesday or Saturday before the CL semi? c) How has Benatia been this...

Chill mate, I just said that I doubt whether Martinez can jump straight into a CL semi. Doubting does not mean that I consider it impossible. There is only a week and half for the CL semi and Martinez has not kicked a football for many months. I am probably right in my assessment. But since your...

There must be something lost in translation there. Beating Pep's team would be even better. I approve of this comment. :goodpost:

If Lahm is not playing as a RB, how can he be a better RB than actual RBs?

Martinez has not played for a long while, I doubt that he just jump in a CL semi. I am also unsure of how long Ribery and Benatia have been out for.

Sounds convincing.

You either completely misunderstood my point, or you deliberately ignored the point I was making. My post did not at any point make the claim that La Liga was not a two-horse race between 09/10 and 11/12 (or even 12/13) What I said was this: I do not make any claim that in for example...
