I am his biggest ever fan, but yes, he has been poor all season long, but we still badly need him. Rakitic, no matter how hard he ever tries, will never be an adequate replacement for Xavi or Iniesta. Xavi, as great as he has been lately, is simply too old for this shit, and can only deliver if...

I am not doubting that Milan's greatness one bit, and yes, back then, teams from Romania, Yugoslavia, Belgium or the USSR were far more potent than nowadays due to the limitations on transfers, which allowed them to hold onto world class talent for much longer than is possible nowadays. But I...

@Bojan. I would not label Valencia as "mediocre". Not by any stretch.

If Mathieu did not have that brainfart then I would agree with you. The 1-3, however insurmountable it may seem, can conceivably be overturned. As statistically unlikely as it may seem, it is still, statistically possible. Factor in the fact that we are on nightmarish run of games on both...

Just another player padding the league he is currently playing at the back by making silly claims about the previous league in which he played. Nothing to see here, move along...

Maybe because they are not our fans?

Right, and let is also keep in mind that the English teams were banned during that period, and Spanish teams were not that great. Sacchi's Milan were gifted the qualification against Red Star Belgrade in one season (fog replay when Belgrade were leading 1-0 and then scandalously restarted the...

How many CL's did the Italian teams win during the years of Sacchi's tenure at AC Milan. I am not attacking your argument btw, just out of curiosity.

It comes back to what I have been saying over the quality of the Bayern players. Alonso is old. Dante is not a very good defender. Boateng is also not that great. Bottom line is that these players are likely to make blunders under psychological and physical pressure. It's one thing playing...

I would say this, without dismissing your argument mind. Some of the Bayern players are not nearly as good as most people think they are. This shows whenever Bayern have to face any decent side, or even when Bundesliga teams are up for a fight.

I was just thinking the same thing. Just goes on to show that the Camp Nou/La Masia is the Harvard of football.

This table would have been even more awesome if we had just taken a fraction of our chances in the two legs versus Man City and the final half hour against Real Madrid. But still, lots of games for all three of them to score in still.

That is precisely the reason why we spent almost 200m euros on Neymar and Suarez. Against big opponents, Messi has to drop deep so that opposition players are drawn to him and chances created for our two lesser (but still mega) attacking stars. Having a declining Villa, a lackadaisical Ibra, a...

Yes, I agree that the pressure put by Porto on Bayern was quite good and contributed to their mistakes. So let's just say that the result was a combination of a poor Bayern performance and a good Porto performance. This is just how football works. It could have been even worse for Bayern mind...

And with Porto's 2nd and 3rd best players out, it should not be such a tall order. But Bayern will have to play some football, and not do the Bambi-on-ice number from last night!

Both Danilo and Sandro foolishly managed to get booked. Having just watched the entire game, I would say that Bayern were fantastically inept and sluggish throughout the match. Only Thiago and Bernat were any good. Gotze, Mueller, Alonso, Boateng, Dante, Lewandowski were all atrocious. All three...

Really? Do you have a link with such statements from Pep? In my opinion you should chill out. Bayern are still favorites to go through to the semifinals. Sandro and Danilo missing the return leg will tell. Also with Ribery and maybe Bastian returning and the Allianz effect, things will be very...

There is nothing to wonder over. They will park the bus or get annihilated.
