1-1 Gerrard with an excellent freekick and £225 for Druss. Now if Basle could just kindly and hilariously score a late winner all would be right in the world.

WTH! I just wanted to watch the first half of the boring Juventus 0-0  Atletico Madrid, and when I woke up the match was finished!

Nice work by Arsenal (Ramsey and Podolski), Real Madrid and Olympiakos.

Good night

Will be watching City tonight just to be there if they finally manage to get it right or to be there when they once again end up in remarkable failure.

[CrazyRah]

City finally managed to not screw it all up!

 

No upsets macking it through these groupstages which is a bit boring but hardly surprising. Now the true Champions league can finally start

In fairness United have played well and lost matches too. There's no telling what you're going to get with us, we can't seem to get the same team out more than once or twice in a row before 3 or 4 of them are injured. The only thing you know you're going to get watching United now is that someone will get injured and at some point during the match we will look utterly clueless, against Southampton the cluelessness lasted 90 minutes. It's amazing we are 3rd despite the 40+ injuries suffered this season, but it's hardly bloody surprising either, we have had massive injury problems for about 3 or 4 years now. There's clearly something very wrong.

 

Having to replace injured players is actually costing us the chance to bring on players that need a bit of match fitness. It's gotten ridiculous.

Southampton should have won that match, if only because I like Koeman way better than Van Gaal.. But they were the better team and deserved to win, now they have lost 3 matches in a row and have to be careful not to continue that streak.

 

I will say what I always said about Van Gaal; when he comes in, players get injured. It happend with AZ, with the Dutch Team and now at United. So either he has really, really bad luck or the way he wants the player to train gets them injured.

I just hope he can control himself and don't spend all of the 200 million he will be granted to buy new players during the winter on midfielders and forwards while he desperately needs good backs.

 

In the Champions League, Ajax won 4-.0 over Apoel Nicosia. The first half was horrible to watch without so much as a chance on either end. Ajax got really lucky as they were wrongfully granted a penalty just before half time. The second half was better but mostly because Apoel didn't believe they could win anymore and just basicly gave up..

 

Meanwhile Liverpool is pissed off on Kuipers for sending off Markovic, claiming they would have won the match otherwise. If they are at this level of pity responses they have bigger problems than one player, correctly, given a red card..

 

For the first time in 10 years we will have 3 Dutch teams in the Europa League. And though many people don't give a crap about it, I reckon Feyenoord believes otherwise. Plus PSV and Ajax should be lucky to play in the Europa League, there they actually have a chance to win some matches..

 

And meanwhile in the Dutch competition, we won!! A 1-0 away victory that meant the first victory in 3 months and even more for morale. Even though this bad period, with some soft protest actions, each home match the stadium largely sold out with 18.000 people (which in The Netherlands equals to the 7th highest attendence for a team that is currently 17th). The match wasn't good but there was spirit, determination and hard work for the first time in a looong while and as a reward 400 supporters were waiting on the parking lot of our stadium for the player bus to come home at 01.30 with fireworks and chants: https://www.youtube....h?v=i7UTjMmbKXw

Kimosabe, I'm wondering if you have any opinion about the four Dutch players in Newcastle United. Tim Krul, Vurnon Anita, Siem de Jong and Daryl Janmaat?

Kimosabe, I'm wondering if you have any opinion about the four Dutch players in Newcastle United. Tim Krul, Vurnon Anita, Siem de Jong and Daryl Janmaat?

I really like Krul, if it were up to me he would be the first keeper of the Dutch team

Siem de Jong was a good player in The Netherlands but he hasn't really been able to prove himself with his injuries. When he recovers he can be a good player for Newcastle

I never really thought highly of Janmaat. He was a decent enough player for Feyenoord but he seems that moving to England has done him good and he is playing pretty good now.

Anita simply isn't good enough, not really much else to say about him

[Nattfare]

Krul was really good a few seasons ago. I'd say he was close to be regarded as world class. He's gone backwards in my eyes since then. Flaps a bit too much on crosses and corners and his kicking is terrible.

 

Some have described Siem as a better Kevin Nolan... doesn't sound very accurate and definitely not very flattering. Will Pardew be able to use him in the right way? The only match he's played so far (against Aston Villa) it passed him completely by.

 

Janmaat was struggling a bit at the start of the season. He looks a bit like Mathieu Debuchy now, just not as rash in the tackle. He's been good recently though, I agree.

 

I think Anita would be good enough in the right team with the right way of playing. He was very useful when he played in a midfield trio with Tioté and Cabaye. But since we play mostly long balls and he's only expected to run around and win balls I feel he gets judged mostly on that. A role that is too weak to play.

Otherwise I think he is an intelligent football player who would benefit more on playing in a team that passes the ball around more. 

[CrazyRah]

I'd rather play with 10 men than have Torres on the pitch because he's just bound to disappoint and most likely demoralize the entire team. What a sad state for a once incredible striker.

 

Now I didn't watch the games themself from EL but the highlights were from most games quite entertaining and one just has to appreciate the Besiktas fans for dealing with those blackouts and swap it out for something that will be talked about around europe for a short while at least.

It will be interesting if any English team will actually take EL serious for the first time since Hodgson took Fulham of all teams to the finals. I can understand the lack of serious effort but it's a European trophy at the end and most of these teams are lucky if they even get close to one each decade.

 

City without Augero might be a tiger without claws due to how vital he has turned out to be for their offensive this season. Now City really has to show everyone that even without their most lethal striker that they still can prove to be a threat to all kinds of defences. Sad though for them to lose him now with the schedule becoming insanely tense up until the start of January. Going to be amazing as a fan but the players, almost pity a few of them but them millions might do a better job than us.

 

QPR.. why

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

Great performance by Arsenal against NewCastle!

 

You can watch the short version of the match here:

No contest really. Pardew went back to default and thought graft would have a chance against talent.

Seriously, why does he persist with throwing Gouffran on the wing who offers nothing or Dummet as a left back when he is only good in the centre?

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

Truly those 5 teams that don't deserve to be in Premier League are at the bottom (CP to LC).

[CrazyRah]

United started the first half really awkwardly and once again De Gea was called to save the team twice before Rooney did what I doubt anyone in the Premier League can do better and put United ahead. The defence is really sketchy but has grown better over time and while almost all of the cards are justified against United I'm not too worried about going down to 10 players just yet. Really only the Evans yellow card that I can't accept but whatever any unfairness that might've been shown towards United has been more than covered up by Mata scoring 2-0 from obvious offside. Goodness that one is just painful to watch even if my team is to gain from it

[CrazyRah]

I genuinly don't even want to know what United would be without De Gea. While 3-0 sound like United were a lot better that really was not the case. United was the better team due to better finishes and De Gea that might soon apply for godhood because he's being without a doubt the best player in the current United squad. United once again showcased a defence that could make anyone fall into despair and it really need to become less common. Fellaini did another genuinly solid match and I lost count how many times he won the ball. Young might even have a decent claim on the left decence because he's probably the most stable defender this season and that was not something I thought would be the case. Well done United, well done!

 

Liverpool is just not even fun to look at right now. So much didn't work at all today and while they on a normal keeper would've scored a few goals it's really sad to see them be this hollow and not to even mention "Super Mario" I was overjoyed to see him enter the pitch at half time and while he did push De Gea to prove his divine skills I'd say most of the second half Liverpool played with 10 men.
