I suspect Mancini will get the boot come season end.
ManU doesn't look that good, just good enough. VP carried them through the first 1/2 and now with Vidic back they look much sounder defensively.
Chelsea is a joke, but way fun to watch Oscar, Hazard, and MAta play football.
Does anyone else think Bale is on roids? I hope Everton catch them for 4th.
Liverpool is becoming fun to watch but I just don't see Downing or Henderson having the quality to match up with the higher up teams. No way either starts for Man U, City, Chelsea, or Tottenham. I'll be curious to see what they got in this Cutinho guy.
So which EPL team does Mourinho end up with next year, or does he delay a few more years before taking over for Ferguson?

he must be on whatever Christiano Ronaldo is on, since they look more alike every day. |

Bale is definitely using something. Liverpool is fun to watch, I have a couple good friends in their front office and will be doing a trip next fall, I can't wait.
ManU is a beast. They even win comfortably when they are outworked and outplayed.
Champions league Celtic/Juventus on shortly. |

did u watch ac and barca? not the prettiest of games but......although i admire barca as the best team in soccer ( my god, i almost called it football ) i do like to see them lose occasionally. ac strategy was obviously closing down the middle with a hard defensive stand and play the long ball to el shaarway or wait for a break. very similar game to the celtic defeat of barca where barca controlled the game but could not break the defense. see what happens when they go to spain
so much soccer today, so little time. damn work i hope liverpool pulls their act together today. no sturridge, which sucks. 1 zenit goal and its over....

Well coached game by Milan, not so well by Barcelona. It is one thing to be the best team in the world. It is entirely something else to be unable to adapt to a situation and change your style of play. Laughable as it is, Barcelona would have been better with Peter Crouch out there than Messi yesterday. Nobody, no matter how good, was going to dribble or one two through that Milan defense, they needed to collapse it with long balls and play off the resultant havoc. Milan's coach set it up to force Barcelona to do something they lacked the players to do.

Great game by Liverpool today. Ended up one goal shy of advancement, but the atmosphere at Anfield was second to none. The way they dominated play showed a lot, especially with Sturridge unavailable. Two amazing free kicks by Suarez....his second one was pure class.
