You have a better chance of convincing water to flow up hill than to convince a Gooner to give a Spurs player anything more than begrudging credit for a performance.

Exactly. He isn't a left back, he can play there but it isn't his preferred position. He's a left winger, his performances reflect that. It is for that reason that if we were looking for someone to play on our left side of attack, i'd have him, but i'd never buy him for left back. But he hasn't...

That's assuming Mourinho will keep the same style of play against us.

We won't be held to ransom, carry on like this and Dani knows where the door is. Who knows, we might replace him with someone who can actually cross the ball, wouldn't that be a treat? We'll miss him, but he is hardly what i'd call an irreplacable member of our team, not in the way Xavi, Messi...

I've actually been really positive in the past couple of years. But as much as I hate to admit it we miss the big dickhead who sodded off in the summer. We should probably go for Llorente in January, but we won't. We are over relying on our youth currently tbh, Thago I have faith in but not so...

Beast was saying that a couple seasons back in all fairness Meta. Didn't change shit. I'm worried because frankly we are short on adequate cover especially upfront.

The only team in the league that might give them a reality check is us. But on our current form the thought of that is laughable unless Pep motivates them the way he did at half time against Valencia.

That is pretty spot on, especially to anyone who recalls when he left Chelsea. For the last year and a half of his time there (particularly the start of 07-08 before he left) teams seemed to have found him out tactically, and he struggled to reproduce the form that had seen them win two...

Alot being made of Racing playing 5 at the back and 4 in midfield, but when you see how high a defensive line Racing played, suicide. Will be interesting to see how Real go when teams start to drop really deep defensively against them like they do to us. Though yeah, Real looking like the best...

Roberto Carlos was overrated. Most of his went high, wide or just hit the wall.

If Real and Man City have taught us anything it is that need does not come into it. You buy players so your domestic/continental rivals can't get them.

Model professional. Doesn't get much of a look in sometimes for weeks on end, never complains and then comes in and does a fantastic job pretty much every time. Tonight he was clearly man of the match. You cannot ask for more than he gives really, both on and off the pitch.

Sos Cagon has to be one of the best ones. Hell, just River fans on the whole are fantastic:

Redknapp has said during pre season he wants to experiment with 4-3-3 and variations of 4-5-1 (so 4-2-3-1 etc) which are most successful in the Champions LEague. 4-4-2 as a system doesn't work in the CL really, and the first leg against Young Boys showed that. A 4-2-3-1 imparticular would be...

The English press are going to love VdVs wife. I can already see the bad headlines now.

This is based on Raoila getting revenge mostly. Maxwell evidently hasn't said anything or let his performance in training drop or he wouldn't have been in the squad for the Racing game, nevermind starting.

Schalke have had excess money to burn for a long long time, so probably for a payday. Look back down the years at all the players they've bought for pretty hefty sums etc.

So he plays using stilts or something? That or the cameras at the WC did a weird zooming job on him to make him look as tall if not taller than everyone else.

Marca are the only ones who have said we could not afford our players wages, and they are well known and even acknowledged by Madrid fans to be in PErez pocket. Not surprisingly the English press picked up on that and act as if its gospel, then stretch it by claiming we have to sell all our...

Yep.
