The ref in this game was absolutely incredible. How the ref gave that as a penalty when it was not a foul and even if it was, was clearly outside of the box but that's how things work when you happen to be RM in La Liga. You expect biased decisions at the Bernabeau but the ref missed the foul on...

There's not a single teenager in the top 100 which just really shows how much more physical the game is now than what it used to be (and that's really saying something because tennis has always been a physical sport). Which really goes to show how impressive Federer winning a GS and being world...

Villa should've been introduced sooner into the game, especially since Messi was playing a considerable part of the second half on the wings. Villa playing in the centre would have him playing in a role that suits him more and I think he could've been pretty productive in this game. Tito...

I think Masch did good considering it's not his natural position but it was never going to last. A lot of his good perfromances also had to do with favourable circumstances as well, he was usually playing alongside much better players in defense and also the quality of opposition had to be...

I actually find this sport incredibly boring now. In most races, you can pretty much tell by the 5th lap who's going to win the race unless there's a mechanical issue or something.. How can a race or sport like that be exciting. Positions are more or less decided less by driving skills, it's...

Well they must have got somebody good lined up. Incredible they fired Brown after just 5 games into the season. With all the new players he had to deal with, it was always going to take time and as far as I remember none of those Laker losses were blow-outs.

I was really, really impressed with him in his two matches against Dortmund. He made a couple of timely interceptions and read the game really well. He looked very composed out there for such a young guy and is pretty good in the air as well. He's the type of defender that Barca needed, a really...

He is just not a CB. That is just not his natural position. He can get away with that at Barca but he wouldn't get away with that in any other side.

I still prefer Abidal over Alba. We need more height and defensive solidity in our back 4. Having two attacking full-backs is only exposing us more. It was allright when we had Alves who was the attacking one while Abidal was more cautious but recently we've been playing with Adriano and Alba...

What do you mean 'right now'????

I actually much prefer Keita to Song who was underrated here in these forums and at Barca. He didn't slow the game down and wasn't lacking in pace the way Song is and his distribution was much better. We just paid too much money for a player who isn't needed for a role we already had a better...

I never ever liked the idea of having him at CB and it was ridiculous how some would respond here (partcularly Xaviniesta) as if you were a traitor if you questioned Masch's credentials as an elite CB. It's all right in a few cases or in emergency situations but I doubt he'd be the third-choice...

If Mascherano couldn't make it as a DM at Barca than Alex Song definitely doesn't have much of a chance. We all know Mascherano is a far superior player in terms of technique, skill and speed but even he stuck out like a sore thumb in Barca's midfield. We could have made better use of 19m by...

As I've said before, our management is more concerned about how our defenders bring the ball out from the back rather than their actual defending skills. They are compromising our defense and it's going to end up proving very costly. The defense is steadily getting worse and I don't think any...

He's not going to 'save' us but things won't be as bad once he comes back.

According to me sometimes our defense doesn't know when to back off or when to come forward and put pressure on the ball, they just don't have a consistent game and make mistakes with their decision making a few too many times. There is no elite team in the world that has an average defense and...

He has been making mistakes and maybe he's not a great keeper but when you have a defense like we have and the CB pairing that we have right now, it would make even a good GK jittery and make him lose his confidence. It's a collective issue and not just Valdes, the defense in front him has been...

He's more of the John Terry last-ditch-save-your-ass-with-a-sliding-tackle player. I've never seen any world-class defender rely a whole lot on his tackling. He lunges in far too often for my liking. I wouldn't trust him starting in the CL games against the likes of Munich etc, unless he's got...

The equipment actually plays a bigger part than the competitor himself in F1 which is one of the reasons why I kind of lost intrest in it....

And is that really a surprise (okay maybe the manner of it is). I said it before this week that the Giants are the best and most complete team in the NFL. The first game of the season they were below-par but Dallas played their best and smartest game in a long , long time and so did Philly (it...
