    German. Pep and his assistant (who, by the way, has a very attractive daughter) have learned German quite fast. Sometimes they mix in some English words, but mostly, it is German. Of course, you have some players with Brazilian roots (Dante, Rafinha, Thiago) who speak Portuguese, some guys who speak Spanish (Thiago, Martinez, Pizarro), some guys who speak French (Ribery, van Buyten), but everyone speaks enough German to understand each other. All the German guys speak some English. So it works.

    This is how I imagine Bayern players speak to each other on and off the pitch.

    Sunderland has gifted Liverpool the title in a span of 4 days.

    Nothing has been gifted. We have not lost in 2014

    Its a surprise gift. Yet one slip up could have allowed City or Chelsea a way back in. The pressure has decreased, there is a margin of error now. Sunderland has effectively made it easier for them. Title is an easy call now. No way they can blow this IMO.

    Crap! Chelsea scored fairly early only for Sunderland to come back. Certainly should have won that one.

    Oh well, there's still the CL!

    Oh the delicious irony of watching Maureen's trophy hopes dashed by 3 different loan players in the same game (well done Vito!).

    Perfect storm for LFC with City and Chelsea dropping points back to back. If they can win emphatically against Norwich without Hendo and Sturridge, that would be a huge boost of confidence for the Chelsea match next week. Chelsea will be pretty tired after the CL match and hopefully Sturridge will be 100% by then.

    Good to wake up to a 2-0 Lead.

    Amazing Strike from Sterling, great goal from Luis.

    I really hope Luis breaks the record.

    Caught most of the second half and surprised Pool were leading with the way they played in the second. Surprised Suarez gave up a potential goal right in front of the net and gave it to Lucas... whom everyone knows will never score. Could have tied the all time goal tally with Christiano.

    and Moses is fuggging awful... Jeezuz... what a waste of loan! Chelsea couldn't take him back soon enough. I bet he would still suck if he was placed in an MLA team.

    Liverpool is actually pretty thin at the striker position. Aspas is useless and I sure hope Borini won't be our third striker next season.

    Next up:
    Arsenal vs Hull, then Everton vs MU.
    What a great Sunday. Big games.

    They were absolutely on fire for the first 15 minutes. Then Norwich just crept back into it and Mingnolet got shy coming out after his airswing.

    Looks to be a pretty close race for the 4th if Everton holds their lead.

    Where do you guys rank the Scottish Premier league? Been watching a bit of it, and honestly am not impressed the MLS has better control it seems.

    But maybe it is the teams I am watching?

    Scotland is more known for golf for a reason.

    Better off watching the Malaysian league or something than the SPL.
