Sanchez the new Pedro...

Im sad to see Bojan leave too. He just needed more minutes to get his confidence back. But we are so good now that we can't risk experimenting with low confidence players.

It's a kind of feeling like a son leaving the house for college but yet without graduating. Weird.

ESPNstar website is really disgusting.
WHenever a Barca player talks about Cesc, they must put it up but when English players talk about wanting players from another club, it just goes under the radar.

Double standards..

Someone from Arsenal said that he would love to play with Gervinho way before the transfer window opened up.
And a player from Chelsea said the same thing about another plater very recently but I just can't get it in my head.

So just because it is an English media it only has to protect EPL?

im not talking about writing more stories about other countries or teams from a certain country.
i was talking about double standards.

berita harian/kosmo must publish more news from other countries like singapore,philipine or thailand instead of local@malaysia news?
i presume that this is what you meant
kosmo=espn star
spore=other leagues.

so espnstar should write more about LOCAL news?
what is local? where?
are you saying because "espnstar" is an English based news portal and it shouldn't write more stories about other leagues?

tapping up?

I like Cuenca..

If you have watches Thiago closely for the past few years, you would know that Thiago is no where close to Xavi. Even Iniesta is not similar to Xavi. Iniesta and Thiago are the more adventurous type, Thiago being hte more aggressive one.

Xavi was never like any of those two.
Thiago plays more risky because he doesn't keep the ball close to him like Iniesta does. Xavi hardly ever dribbles besides his 360.

Xavi also plays deep. He sometimes starts circulating from our half, that is somewhere where I can't imagine Thiago doing as he is more prone to losing the ball.

Thiago just doesn't have it in him. He has the jogo bonito in him. It's unlike him to be like Xavi. I prefer him just hte way he is. But just play him in a more advance midfield position where losing the ball is a lot safer.

That is Gerard Deulofeu.
He and Sergi Gomez, he wore #12 if Im not mistaken, they just came back from the U19 Euro's which they won.
I am not a big fan of Gerard D though. He still needs a lot of maturing to do.
That said, he is only 17 and was kicking ass at the Euro's with people a lot older than him.
17yo to 19yo is quite a big difference in that age group.

Compare the matches that Madrid played and Barca.
Chinese semi-pro's and pro's.

And remember who looked better before the 5-0 thrashing??
Madrid were scoring goals for fun and a lot of people actually thought they could win at Camp Nou.
It even led Mourinho to believe that he could win and fielded a non-defensive team
And the rest is history....

But yeah, I do have a fear that last season was the climax.
It just can't get any better.
I hope I am wrong

what are guys talking about???
milito???? pffttt

time to talk about Cesc. He's on the way to Barca now and travel with the team to Madrid

Hey Nizam, the VIP phone number seller.

Yup. Pep doesn't want the squad to lose focus which I already think they (Pique and Puyol and Xavi) did. Xavi was reported to be seen at the airport with a bouquet

pep doesn't think that he is ready yet. next year.
but it is always nice to have him as a back-up cb

no.10pm their time so 4am our time.

it looks like it's not going to be shown on astro.

but anyways, i dont really care about this match.
usually im counting the days a week before the match but not this one.
so sick playing against madrid.

i wish the spanish FA could make an exemption and let them play on a neutral ground once instead of two matches.

haih nothing..

The two Spanish Super Cup games will this year be live broadcasted in a record 147 countries

but i guess not in Malaysia haih.
But thank God they showed us the pre-season matches.

Like I said before, don't really care about this match.
Would prefer if Pep approached it like a pre-season game and let some youngsters play to let them get a feeling of playing under pressure.
There is no scarier place than Bernabeu for them.

Mourinho: "What did I learn from the CL tie against Barcelona? That I can't say the truth, but I won't keep quiet."

Why or should I say, POR QUE POR QUE does he has to do this?
Season hasn't even started yet and already he's trying to influence the refs, media and fans.
Now they can play dirty again and when they get a red card, you know the story already..
Barca gets help from refs and all.

Another thing is, now the refs are scared to blow the whistle and card a Madrid player in order to keep Mourinho's mouth shut.

no way sacrifice busquets.

without him in dm, our build-up play is always different.
he is a key player to our play.

can you explain to us or to me at least why it's a joke?

argh. i just had a similar converstaion on youtube.

the reason why cesc' price is so low is because he only has one and only ONE BUYER.
it would be totally different if he was open to other clubs, then it would be a bidding war.
but he only wanted Barca.
and Arsenal's price was what? 45mill? Not that far off the target.

another reason why he shouldn't cost so much is, count the matches he has played for Arsenal for the past 2-3 seasons.
he is always out maybe 1/2 of the season.

did he lead Arsenal to any trophies? NO!!

totally different case with ROnaldo.

I love Cesc but he seriously isn't worth over 40mill.

i think astro forgot about it last week.

but bloody crap. my astro has been giving me
services currently unavailable.

since yesterday but only for the sports channel.
what a luck....

i just called astro for more than 5 times for the past 4 weeks.
last thursday somebody came to fix it and a few hours later same problem. today another one came, after less than 1 hour, same problem.

so i just called them to complain again and the customer service girl had the nerve to ask me if i would like to upgrade to beyond?

i lost it.
i really feel like they have been trying to rip me off for the past 2 months. purposely only disturbing my sports package because somehow they know that is what i watch the most.
and now she expects me to upgrade...

really fishy...

ill just download it off pakman.
i hate streaming. so small. not satisfied.hehe

haha no.i do have hd tv but doesn't it sound funny?
only the sports package is service not available.
and then she offered me to upgrade.........
it got me thinking that it's their tactic to make people upgrade.

since there were hardly any la liga i decided to watch some epl,
arsenal vs. some team and
man city vs some team.

the hypocrisy of some fans.
there were dives at least twice in each of those matches.

just because of that one match where pedro, busquests went a over the top after 2 previous aggressive clasicos, all these haters use that as a yardstick.
and just because mourinho calls barca as such, other ran away blindly with it too.
of course without watching the matches and turning a blind eye to the dives in the so called real football in epl.

the worst part is that some people think it is ok that mourinho go around poking people's eye, no, not mano y mano but from the back like a true coward.

the saddest part is that some people blindly follow mourinho. tsk tsk tsk.
god gave us eyes, not just ears.

haha who on earth are you/? do you think villa cares?

you dont have any more respect because he was "claimed" to have insulted Ozil's religion?
did you even watch the match bro?
didn't you see keita and abidal near where they were?
didn't you see that ozil said something and was walking away and villa asked him something and ozil pushed him away?
and then villa retaliate..

no? no? didnt see that? no?

Added on August 23, 2011, 1:12 amout of nowhere??????
are you fricking serious?
so villa walked around and decided to slap someone???

it takes two to tango.
read what i wrote above.
i "think" you watched the match but you decided to put on your white colored glasses on.

---

Added on August 23, 2011, 1:33 amhow many years have you been a fan of ac milan?
he's been slapping people's face many times before.
if you are a new fan or dont watch their matches then i can understand since he hardly plays nowadays.

oh and he was attacking an assistant manager last season.
but of course that doesn't come into play because we all jsut love to hate on barca dont we and all the players of other teams are angels?

incredible performance.
it was just a friendly but see how quick it took them to gel again...
we are so lucky to witness this great team.
i'm so lucky that my dad is dutch.
im so lucky to have a family that supports this team,

i guess discussing without name calling is fine with you but in my part of the world we discuss.

look here in the video below.
did villa suddenly pop out of nowhere and went on a face-slapping spree?
i already set the time for you just in case you decided to ignore what happened before the actual slap.
its starting from the 1.38min mark. For some reason lowyat doesn't allow the function whereby it starts at one particular mark during the video.
So just go manually to 1.38min mark.

pardon me about the scottish insult. but i do know that gatusso used to play for rangers when i was kinda young.
i didnt know that.but it could be something similar here right?
obviously from the video you can see that villa triggered after ozil did/said something and then walked away while villa was asking properly and then he went bananas after ozil just slapped his arm away.

gatusso has slapped many players around during his playing time. thats a fact!

Added on August 24, 2011, 11:33 amagain with the respect.
so because ozil is the quietest person in Madrid you assume he didn't do anything wrong?
funny..just on that basis alone, you assume that every quiet person is a good person.

---

Added on August 24, 2011, 11:38 amand you are not wearing white glasses?no?

look at your comments;
1) okay...so villa hit ozil out of nowhere
2) i think mourinho tugged his ear

1) Again read my comments carefully and watch the video that I provided.
2) Again you are being biased here and decided not to watch the video or the photos properly.


**********************************

Sorry for beating a dead horse but this has to stop!
People start to hate our club with BS facts and run away with it and spread the hate.
Like Busquets is a diver thing. He did it once at the Inter match and Madrid last season and people start to ASSUME that he is a diver based on that one or two matches.
Look what Casillas said. He went to the extent as saying that Cesc faked it.
That's the kind of power Mourinho has to brainwash these people including a lot of football fans.
It's frightening!!
