    amazing. first Manchester, now Madrid... these Arabs sure like playing the role of noisy neighbours don't they? shame the club wasn't from the North or South, but whatcha gonna do? still, this is good for La Liga.

    if it's Sevilla then Juan Carlos will be shitting it. "OH FUCK THE MUSLIMS ARE BACK IN ANDALUCIA! QUICK SOMEONE CALL CHARLTON HESTON!!"

    Wayne Rooney

    I think he always was interested. despite the overwhelming evidence for him just being past-it and not interested anymore, it seems as though the stories about him not being over the injury were actually true. who'd a thunk it, eh?

    Andrés Iniesta

    why have UEFA only started acting on this now? why not a week ago when it happened? this stinks. hopefully UEFA will see sense (as if) and not add an extra game on. there's no proof he got booked directly and, frankly, this seems to benefit Madrid just a bit too much. next thing you know...

    Pedro Rodriguez

    he's been pretty shit since that injury. it's fine, though, the power will return to his legs eventually. as Myr says, it's a cup-final so hopefully his brain just hits those old rhythms again.

    Vincent Kompany

    I'm just amazed that he's actually come good. I remember back on CM when he was an 18 year old wonderkid and everyone would buy him in every save they did. and then he wasn't that great and went to Hamburg. and everyone was all "huh?"

    Mario Balotelli

    he is an utter dick. but by god, you gotta love him.

    Romelu Lukaku

    of course he's sucking, he's 18! kids that age are usually inconsistent as hell. he needs to leave, pronto. the hype train will destroy him otherwise. and he needs to go somewhere good for youngsters. us, Villarreal, United, Marseille, somewhere that has a track record of developing and...

    Sergio Busquets

    special K speaks the truth. but really, just tell them Busquets is a lanky version of Guardiola as a player. and if they still have a blank face, tell them Guardiola was the Xabi Alonso of his day. only more defensively capable. and cooler. if they STILL rip on Busquets, get some new friends.

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    yeah, that's not what I was blaming on Americans. football is expressionist and the "tactics" you speak of are more like philosophies. broad ideas that can be expressed in various ways, through various different types of minutiae. what the people obsess over are the minutiae themselves, and...

    Fernando Torres

    they all said Rooney had lost his explosiveness too. and frankly he looked as though he had. but look at him now, back to his best. if Torres fails next season, then you can write him off. but you haveta give him a full season first.

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    well again, what are "matchday tactics"? setting the team up in the correct formation is very important. it isn't a magical solution and can only follow on from the work done in training, but it's still crucial. I think part of the problem is Americanisation. the American sports lend themselves...

    Fernando Torres

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that 90% of the people ripping Torres were also ripping Rooney for his awful form. a good summer's rest, a proper pre-season and an overhaul of Chelsea's astoundingly uncreative midfield will see Nandy the Pansy play like we know he can.

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    as hinted at by Jamrock, the problem is semantic. tactics is such a blanket term that you can't really argue how important it is, because what is it? setting the team up in a correct way and coaching them to do the right things in the right situations, the things poncirus is (correct in)...
