    Barcelona wouldn't be Barcelona if it didn't have the help of the refs. What a disastrous El Clasico.

    Still laughing at those rankings which had Hart above Neuer. SMH.

    So what exactly happened to Hart? He dropped hard this season. He was doing OK the past season. I thought he was the future of England.

    English Keeper Syndrome - where one flub and everyone in the country makes a big deal out of it and completely shoot the keeper's confidence

    Rob Green, David James, etc. are prime examples of those who suffered the EKS.

    Dortmund - Stuttgart 6:1

    This is going to be a very interesting season in Germany. I honestly didn't expect Dortmund to be that good. Leverkusen will sooner or later fall behind, but Bayern and Dortmund will probably battle for the title till the last match.

    I couldn't have said it any better myself. It infuriates me to no end.
    David James was always a bit shaky from the start at Liverpool after making the step up to the Premiership so I won't even add him to the mix.

    It's players like Paul Robinson that come to mind. Fantastic keeper for a while early on and then of course after a few mistakes the English press and fans go in on him. Same thing with Rob Green even though he wasn't even on Robbo's level for a while. Now Joe Hart is going through the same thing.

    I'm guessing Marc-Andre Ter Stegen didnt having to endure the same thing over in Germany despite his flub vs the USA. Granted he isn't making many errors but I doubt if he was that he would get the press and media on his case like in England. I despite the English media and most "supporters".

    Joe Hart has been wildly inconsistent over the past 2 seasons. Honestly he just seems average most of the time. He has cost City at least 5 points so far with his errors, this was the straw that broke the camels back

    Pepe Reina should have gone to City instead. But they're doing well over there in Napoli.

    And City wins 7-0 with Hart benched.

    City looking sluggish today, only scoring 7. Should have scored over 9000!

    Arsenal dominated the midfield against Liverpool but they could use a striker. Their final third needs some polishing. Arsenal will have about £65 million to spend and I have a feeling they will try to use that money to get either Suarez (rebid) or Lewandowski.

    Nice half volley goal by Ramsey in the second half btw.
