Hmm, Maradonna who???

"A new star is born" Sky commentator after Aguero's 2nd and stunning goal. I mean, what the hell is wrong with you people? It would have been almost as bad when CR scored his first goal with Madrid and the Spanish commentator saying: "A new star is born"

On the one hand I want him to flop since he's playing for Chelski. On the other I want him to resurract himself since he is playing for La Furia Roja along with our boys, and he seems like a nice kid.

But it's not just about foreign leagues, it's about La Liga. The 2nd best league in Europe, and apparently not that far behind.

Absolutely true. But the point lots of people are trying to make here, is that Aguero has been world-class for years, but for many EPL-commentators, it's as if his Atletico exploits did not count for shit...

Good point. Thanx for the clarification...

But SKY show La Liga as well, and ITV me thinks are even more nationalistic (course they have every right to) but at least they should be balanced. They can want the best for their league, and that is alright, but don't be telling us that Aguero's star was born last night...ffs

Yeah, maybe it's a case of footballistic solipsism. But it's not as if La Liga is some obscure league. I think it's the only foreign league that they bother to have any kind of look at...

Yeah, yeah, I can recall that. I mean, it's as if Aguero came out of nowhere..it's as if he hasn't been immense for Atletico for the past 5 years or so, beating teams virtually on his own sometimes...

I made the exact same thought last night. I mean, I am not saying that La Liga is better, if anything I believe that EPL is overall somewhat superior, but not by much. But I mean how naive can some pro-EPL commentators actually be? a)The league that has produced both the World and European...

Mourinho has transformed you into an obnoxious team basically. His shitty personality shines through your players' actions. The envy as well.

It's less than that for me. He has been mediocre 3 seasons ago, and absolutely crap the past 2. Having been a massive player before that makes no difference now, he is a crap player basically, a bit like Dinho. 12m I would say. And that may be excessive to.

I think that he has had his day with us.

What would be a realistic valuation for Kaka right now would you say? I want to hear the views of people on this.

This. His poor passing does not allow Pep to utilise him at DM. Will Biscuits be ready for this game?

Our first league game... Will they actually play this coming weekend? Or is the strike gonna hold?

We won't be ready by Wednesday, but at we won't be as bad as we were on Sunday night.

When someone goes on a mad rant on how his star player is great (and maybe the greatest in the world) well, they should be reminded of Leo Messi. Recall that in 2009/10, lots of Mancunians and English press experts were claiming that granny-shagger was the best in the world, and many Chelski...

That is absolutely true. Players like Aguero, Silva and Toure had been immense in La Liga for years, but it is only now that the English press starts recognising their talents...

Even though we are playing at home, and should be more prepared than we were on Sunday night, truth is that Madrid are more prepared and more fit. So I guess, that gives them a slight edge.
