    Pep Guardiola

    maaaannnnn they been sayin' this about Pep since Year Fuckin' One. he's not goin' anywhere. but if he says that, everyone chills out, including himself. one year contracts are the greatest motivation for him & the squad. you don't think the lads play extra hard to prove their hunger to Pep so...

    Scholes Vs Xavi (Not a direct comparison thread)

    Cox was wrong to include Xavi in that article as he hasn't been a deep-lying playmaker for fucking years. he's an all-pitch playmaker and in recent seasons has been getting forward a fuckload, especially this campaign. should have included Busquets instead, as he's a YOUNG deep-lying playmaker...

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    if the refs don't bail them out then they could definitely drop enough points to give us a shot at winning if we beat them in the Camp Nou. but you have to wonder if the refs will do that. Marca defending the referees decisions is huge, because the pressure they & AS put on officials is a...

    Scholes Vs Xavi (Not a direct comparison thread)

    this is definitely the case. I don't know what made things change, maybe it was his near-retirement with an eye problem, or how bad England's midfield got in his absence, I dunno. whatever it was, they have overcompensated BIG TIME since then. I mean he's a fucking rolls royce of a midfielder...

    he was onside. let's just be thankful the decision didn't cost us anything.

    Xavi and Crosas aren't Spanish, yo.

    Scholes Vs Xavi (Not a direct comparison thread)

    but he said that once. after Gerrard & Liverpool rinsed Real. he's also praised other players in a similar manner several times, including Scholes. but Xavi has repeatedly praised Scholes. he's not just paying lip-service to the man.

    in the bath? that would explain where they got the idea for this ad:

    Scholes Vs Xavi (Not a direct comparison thread)

    you can understand why Barcelona fans would "WTF?!" at first though, surely? I mean most of these people hate United so wouldn't have been paying too much attention to them when Scholes was in his prime which was a long time ago. so they'd look at Scholes now, and Xavi now, and they'd rightly...

    Jordi Alba

    Rakytskiy is a beast. could be a decent option if we want a LB/CB. but Shakhtar won't let him go for cheap. they don't need the money remember. and I dunno if he's as intelligent as Chygrynskiy who was able to acclimatise and adapt to living in Catalunya very quickly (his on-pitch transition...

    Scholes Vs Xavi (Not a direct comparison thread)

    Xavi. he's an all-time great and better than pretty much everyone else ever at that position. Scholes isn't THAAAAAT far behind, though. consider that he peaked about 8 years ago in a team that was much more direct than United currently and certainly more direct than us. and he was often...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v1

    the goal was otherworldly. didn't see enough of the ball in the second half (our midfield's fault) but to his credit stayed forward and prevented Sevilla from pushing up too high. the couple of occasions he did get the ball he scored (offside? I dunno, strange there were no replays) and put...

    Andrés Iniesta

    yeah he really did not play well. and that miss was just tragicomic.

    Xavi Hernández

    he and Cesc did not play well. he had a few lovely passes, and of course his free-kick was spectacular, but overall he gave the ball away a lot and hurt our control of the game.

    Sergio Busquets

    tonight's performance? yeah, it was alright.

    Daniel Alves

    an excellent performance at both ends of the pitch. probably MOTM. the block on Manu was HUGE.

    Pedro Rodriguez

    now THAT was much more like the Pedro of 2009 & 2010. very pleasing to see.

    Gerard Piqué

    indeed. a vastly improved performance from him. as expected, really. he always comes good around this time.

    Athletic Club

    Athletic's policy isn't racist, it's xenophobic. if it was racist then how do you explain Jonas Ramalho? I would hate to watch Ray Hudson comment on a shit match. but for teams like Barça, Athletic, Chile, Brazil when they're playing like Brazil, and to be fair even Real... he's perfect. no...
