Spurs will be lucky not to be relegated the they are going. i said it before, there is no leaders in that team.

And fuck Villa for conceding another late goal.

 

[Flipmo]

The Spurs problem is that they don't have anyone good enough in front. When Berbatov and Keane were there, the goals were coming in. Who do they have now? Bent? Wow. I'm surprised he gave me a goal to my fantasy team now. lol. Pavlovchenko is good, but he lacks finishing. He's more of a work horse. Modric isn't impressing, but give him a few more weeks, he'll settle in, even at that. Ramos has been using him wrong. Modri is a playmaker, not a fucking DM, Ramos.

Its still early days and its a new team. They will get it together.

Carrick's out for 4-6 weeks, big blow imo. Step up Anderson?

[tHuG $TyLe]

yay for Aguero. I said he would rip the CL up

Atletico were good.

Also good seeing Adriano score again.

 

[Bobby Sands]

where the hell was Alonso tonight

 

[2Pax]

yea he plays good against United...then sits the next one on the bench, Rafa is a strange one sometimes.

 

[Flipmo]

Man U had its chances. Should have won, but will have to settle on a draw.

Impreesive for Lyon to come back to draw it after being down 2 - 0.

Del Piero goal was class.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

Del Piero goal was class.

no it wasnt.... it was very class.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Anyone see the Fiorentina v Lyon game? Lyon are a dirty pack of whores. I hope they never win anything again.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

^What did they do?

I heard Benzema was class, not just for his goal.

Man Utd 0-0 Villarreal.

Villarreal had a great move in the game which resutled in franco flicking the ball onto the post. Awesome play.

Bayern won.

Fenerbache can't defend for shit, Porto were gifted two goals. Lucho smashed in one though.

I can't believe Gilardino scored twice . How i slated him at AC Milan for being goddamn awful. AC Milan was probably too big for him.

Real Madrid won, nothing much to mention.

 

[Bobby Sands]

nah Gilardino is a good player. He found it difficult at Milan and got a lot of unfair criticism. He should lead the Italian attack as he offers alot more than Toni.

i didnt see the Fiorentina v Lyon game but i read about what happend earlier. Luciano Zauri went down with a head injury (suspected broken jaw) in the Fiorentina penalty area. He was down there for over a minute but Lyon never put the ball out and ref didnt stop play. Lyon used the injured Zauri to beat the offside trap and score their first goal. Zauri was then stretchered off. The referee is to blame as well for not stopping play. He was the same ref that allowed Ruud Van Nistelrooy's goal to stand against Italy when Panucci was down injured.

 

[2Pax]

Only seen the United game, it was pretty 'meh'. Rooney is still not being utilised correctly, Gary Neville's crosses were shocking, Fletcher and Hargreaves combo in midfield didn't really work but it was nice to see Ronaldo back .

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Gilardino did find it hard, but he missed some goddamn sitters. He missed an open goal against Barcelona in the CL semi final a few seasons back, he missed one on ones, free headers in the league too, that knocked his confidence then he barely touched the ball, and when he did he looked terrified.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

AC Milan beat FC Zurich 3-1
Napoli beat Benfica 3-2. Too bad one of these teams have to be eliminated.
