I think they're about equally awful, but Terry in there was tipping it in your favor. Carrick got absolutely bodied by that simple ass turn :snoop:

This game is going to be some fukkery.


That we'll win by two goals. :mjpls:

Draw methinks. You'll park the bus and kill the game. Fergie's too smart to try and play an open game of football against Mata and co.

If we don't concede early I'll do something outrageous and implausible (but not really though).

Ashley Cole probably gets to face his favorite player again :russ:

Evra and Rafael against Hazard :sadcam:

It's a blessing you pose absolutely zero threat from the lone forward position as every semi-decent 9 in the lands has a fiesta against us.

Evra and Rafael won't have a direct match-up if Oscar, Mata and Hazard all play (how does Mazacar sound? :ld: getting a bit tired of typing their names all the time tbh). Different sort of threat entirely to wide players who stay wide and take on fullbacks.

If Sturridge plays then he's a threat despite his faults. Rio won't be able to cope with that pace :youngsabo:

That's the problem. They're both going to frolic up the pitch if a player isn't standing in their shadow. The last thing I want to see with this unaware ass backline is a versatile attack.

And Sturridge is a fraud so it doesn't matter.

"I've been called 'sunbed'. I've been called 'orange man' … and it's not as serious as what these guys are claiming because it's from their past and where I'm concerned it's a level of abuse at my skin colour. Now, I don't class that as an abuse, so I just get on with it" - confused former Hull City manager Phil Brown adds his two cents to the Kick It Out T-shirt debate, stopping just short of describing people with fake tans as a race.

What a finish to the Barcelona-Celtic match!! Jordi Alba is a beast of a LB. He's showing much of the same grittiness and technique that he did w/ Valencia last campaign.

Soldado w/ a hat-trick against BATE. Guardado finally makes an appearance for Los Che, who have looked rather average for their standards in domestic play.

I thought Chelsea was going to make a big statement today against Shahktar. Mata had been in lethal form as of late. Didn't get to watch the match but I heard Willian looked brilliant.

Surprising result from Juventus, who I just watched trash Napoli over the weekend.

Rafael will handle whichever of those 3 come up against him with ease, and a sprinkle of that aggressive energizer bunny swag he's got going.

Evra, however...

Regardless, i'm confident, tbh :manny:

Assuming we don't have a mongy start and settle early like v Newcastle, we should do well.

Gio dos Santos had an impressive debut with Mallorca yesterday against Sevilla, handing out 2 assists in the 1st Half. They still lost because Negredo beasted but I liked what I saw out of Gio early on.
