They say you can win the CL playing that way, so sign me up!

Jokes aside, the game was in control before Capoue and Adebayor had to come off. I like Bentaleb but he looked a bit out of his depth today, and Kane is a work in progress to say the least.

edit: this one is too good not to share!

I guess you can never read into stats, i didn't watch the game just saw these;

Shots 16 vs 9
On Target 6 vs 4
61% possession vs 39%
13 Corners vs 2
508 Passes vs 339
81% Passing Accuracy vs 71%
23 Clearances vs 44

xD Seems to me was one sided as i read but i guess wasn't....

Heh, that reminds me: about 10 years ago, there was a remark in one of Polish newspapers that some dude in Bulgaria changed his name to Manchester United. They wrote that same requests were made in England, but British courts objected.

Rumours were that Lewy will announce his decision on January 2nd or 3rd, but we already know that it's not going to happen. As far as I know, his final destination will be revealed only couple weeks (days?) before the actual transfer to avoid the situation Gotze was in (fans called him a traitor and booed etc.)

On the other hand, the whole circus pretty much indicates that Robert is heading for Munich. Apparently, offers were made by Manchester United and Real Madrid, but only after he made up his mind. And, of course, if it wasn't Bayern, Lewandowski could easily end the speculations straight away, as nobody in Dortmund would give him shit for leaving Germany.

Current SkyBet Odds on this matter: Bayern Munich 5/2; Real Madrid 11/2; Chelsea 12/1; Arsenal 14/1; Manchester City 18/1; Manchester United 25/1. That actually makes me sad; it looks like imba will get even imber next season.

I don’t know what rumors are more believable: Lewandowski to Arsenal or Balotelli to Arsenal :x

Regarding Solskjaer, I don't see how it can go poorly for him, due to the anti-Vincent Tan circlejerk. If Cardiff stay up, Solskjaer is a god for doing it in spite of the "crazy" management. If they don't, he gets the benefit of the doubt because of the "crazy" management.

I want to keep him. I don't want him to go. That is my opinion, my wish, but my door is open. The club's door is open too so when a player wants to speak to us we are there waiting for them.

That is the quote which says that Mata can leave apparently :S haha

Quick Chelsea make a deal with Juventus to trade Mata for Vidal. Just cause.

Lol Ysellian xD
Freddy Gurain looks set to be our deal and i think Essien will leave to free up room for him. He is in good form this season, just one of the few bright sparks in the Inter side at the moment so it will be a good snatch if we get him quickly. Will do a very good job for us i think.

Oh yeah! I forgot about Guarin, in that case going for Vidal would be redundant. Nice purchase from Chelsea, he should do really well for Chelsea.

Robert Muric would be a great signing for Utd, the price is around 6 million pounds. I know Chelsea was interested but we don't really need a 17 year old Robben type player.

I feel bad about Mata, get the feeling he is giving up.
