    Liverpool really are the most dangerous attacking front. Going to be a whopper of a matchup. City played tentatively this week while Arsenal looked more alive than in the past few Weeks. Pretty even game, so good result to take a point at least.

    We have the best German players, the best Dutch player, the best French player. I think we have the guy who will be the best Spanish player in a year or two as well (Thiago). The best Italian player (Pirlo) is too old by now. I don't want the best Portuguese player. But I wouldn't mind having the best Argentine player on the team as well. But ok :cool:.

    P.S.: I forgot, we also have the best Austrian player and the best Swiss player.

    That is not in English. Therefore it sucks.

    Seriously, Bayern will be lucky LUCKY to score 7 goals tonight. David Moys gonna sick den boys on 'em.

    And Ribery is not the best French player. That is clearly Patrice Evra. He is going to shut his side of the field down. There will be no scores on the bench!

    You were being funny until you got to Evra. Even his own mother wouldn't troll or joke like that. Sigh. Patrice.
    I just hope he doesn't get the captains armband again.

    It's going to be Buttner tonight! Evra is suspended I think. Robben will destroy him - Buttner can barely defend. He's basically a winger, in real Dutch style (i.e. we have no defenders).

    I think Robben is one of the best players in the world, easily. He's so dangerous. It's too bad he's had a bad record with injuries throughout his career (though he's been getting better) - - I reckon he would have a better reputation otherwise.

    Garnett is the master of moving picks.

    Robben was in top form tonight but he did not by any means destroy Buttner. Buttner is no worse a defender than Evra imo. (Doesn't mean much since I've never rated Evra highly).

    Good call to post that. I felt the same way but wasn't bold enough to type that down.

    No upset but then could a draw in this case be considered an upset given the disparity in form between both teams??? I think so.

    This draw is on Guardiola. If he played with a striker from the first minute, it's a win for Bayern. I'm sick of those false nine escapades.

    Such a pet peeve of mine. I hate it with a passion(but what can you say when it works for him some times).

    I'm glad it didnt work today and he had to bring Mario on. Hate the false nine. Free the REAL Strikers! lol.

    Fellaini was absolutely terrible. Couldn't keep possession and passed directly to Bayern all night. Still can't believe Moyes paid almost 30 million for him.
