oh shi~
so the referee for the game will be howard webb

damn, rvp's chick is superb

positive or negative impact?

or more precisely, optimistic or pessimistic for his performance anticipation?

MAYBE HE 1ST TIME WATCHED FOOTBALL

How f*cking static were our players. The movement which we pride ourselves with so often and is the catalyst of how we play was absolutely zero.
However, all is not lost though. Winning the league isn't all about how well you do against the other Big 4 clubs. Its how well you do against the other 16 teams.

I know it's not fair to compare player with player, obviously each of them got different abilities and weaknesses but to be honest Barca's playing style(not the conduct of their club and players on the Cesc's issue ) is what we should learn.

Except from moving the ball faster, their passing are more purposeful, we always pass with no real intention outside the penalty box. And the way they close down their opponent when they don't have the ball is scary. I remember when we play against them we can't even pass the ball out of our half except from kicking it away with longball.

btw anyone here thinks that we'll get Barca for Last 16 of UCL?   

we can clearly see where the ref was at that time..
it suppose to be red card!!!

Feels like I just went back in time... I still remember everyone saying "Come on, bring on Barca!" or something something back then... 

Come on la.. I hope the diaby news is not true. Diaby jus back from injury and straight get into first 11 vs Chelsea? He suck every time he come back from injury and coincidentally those are big games.

Balotelli: 'I don't know who Wilshere is'

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli claimed he has never heard of Arsenal starlet Jack Wilshere when picking up the Tuttosport Golden Boy trophy on Tuesday.

Balotelli, who has barely played for City due to injury after joining the Eastlands club from Inter Milan in the summer, beat off competition from Wilshere to win the award, which recognises the best player under the age of 21.

Wilshere, a full England international, is seen as one of the brightest young prospects in the Premier League.

"I am delighted to receive this award,'' said Balotelli to Tuttosport. "Who should have won this award but me? Two years ago I finished sixth and a year ago fourth. It was finally my turn.

"I don't know who Wilshere is but the next time I play against Arsenal I will keep a close eye on him.

"Perhaps I can show him (Wilshere) the Golden Boy trophy and remind him that I won it!

"My aim is that this prize will, in the near future, transform itself into the Golden Ball Award. To have won this award is a good omen to achieve that.

"All I ask for is two things: to win the Premier League, in order to continue with the tradition I had at Inter of winning three consecutive league titles, and to clinch the Europa League - a trophy that I have not yet won, and a competition where we are considered favourites."

The nigga can really talk cock!

mancity's the new team to hate man.. it's as if all the fked up assholes are hanging out there. Mofotelli, Mofobayor, Bellamy, Tevez... fked up.

Prediction:

Arsenal 2 - Chelsea 0

- For sure Drogba would again score for Arsenal.
- Soccernet feels the same too: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/feature/_/id/280562?cc=4716

Happy holidays everyone. It's all about the game.
