    I want that to happen cause Kaka deserves a starting role, at least to prove that he is worthy once more before he really starts declining.

    Bilbao president seems like the biggest b**** ever, contract says 40mil, Bayern wants to pay 40 but this douche still doesn't want to accept the deal, although Martinez agreed with Bayern and can't go back because fans hate him now.

    It's okay to show your pride, but he's turning into a laughing stock now.

    I think I saw in the thread about US/Mexico friendly the comment one poster made about how Tim Howard spends all of his time berating his defenders. I honestly couldn't agree more. I'm watching the Everton/Man U match and each time he is forced to make a save, he immediately pops up and gets in the face of the defender nearest to him, as if a shot should never enter the six yard box. I'm sure his teammates get really tired of that really quickly.

    It's called leadership. I take you are a CR7 fan?

    I get that, but I think there's a difference between leadership and being a complete d***.

    I've also only been following European football for a couple of years, so I will admit with a bit of shame that I don't even know what or who CR7 is.

    Shaqiri with a superb game, so much creativity added to the team with him. Really hope he will start in a few weeks.

    Uninspired start for United. They've got problems on the back line.

    They're missing Rio + Phil Jones and will sign Buttner later this week. They were forced to play 6 midfielders today - the bigger issue is lack of creativity and consistency in the midfield. Cleverly and Carrick are rubbish, Valencia and Nani are hit or miss, Scholes is a dinosaur, and Young/Anderson are more of the same (pace). Kagawa was a good signing but there needs to be more technical passing ability to go with all the pace Ferguson has. You can't expect to outrun opponents every game - they eventually cooled down after the great start last season.

    The MU midfielders don't come close to what Man City, Chelsea, or Arsenal have. Even Newcastle and Tottenham have classier attacking options. Their advantage is the strike force of Rooney, VP and Welbeck and savvy players like Vidic and Evra at the back. So they definitely need to look at Kaka or any world class attacking midfielder they can get before the end of the month.

    I would also like to know what's going on in this man's head?! I can by now hardly believe that the deal is still not settled - I even began to wonder if that's some kind of weird PR strategy. We'll see...

    Barca look back this year I predict an easy win tonight and La Liga for them. However, RM goes all in for the UCL and win it and Mourinho further solidifies himself as the best manager ever.

    Great game. Barca dominated and Iniesta looked like te best player on the planet. Valdes made himself look stupid

    I thought it was impressive the way that Barça applied what they learned from the Chinese divers in the Olympics during today's game.

    Egregious.

    That said penalty was deserved.
