Barca showed great quality in that game, they made a top side like Man Utd look average. Thats not easy to do against a team managed by Ferguson. Also apart from the goal I dont remember Valdes being tested and they had Mascherano at the back.
lol some incredibly shady stuff here. Football is looking obscenely corrupt right now

Yes, now showing that a bit of loyalty gets you nowhere at NUFC. The twat does it every year, yet we're still surprised when he pulls stunts like this, should've known when the 10 year season ticket plan came in that he'd pull something like this when he's got most of the season ticket sales secured for another year.
I think Hughton is a great manager and was mistreated by newcastle after getting them straight back up. He will do a good job but I dont see them getting top2 spots this season. Especially as a couple of their star players will leave

It always depends alot on the ability of the goalkeeper, too.
I believe in the future the English national team will produce many noteable incidences regarding goalkeeping - here a small glimpse at how it might look like:
Note that the "other" goalie is from Canada - maybe you shouldn't have let them found an own national team 😛.
If it wasn't so tragic it'd be funny:
Premier League:
Assorted stuff:

I was shocked when I looked into the back page of the evening standard a few days ago and saw the news he was going to Chelsea. Falcao and Moutinho might leave too, and suddenly one of our best teams ever is split before having a go at the Champions League. I was so pumped for next season, this Porto team was stronger than Mourinho's in 2004 and Villas-Boas led us fans to believe he would stay. I understand his move, it's too good an offer to turn down, but at least he could have been honest from the start.
Well, at least that's €15M for a coach, if Falcao leaves that's €30M more, if Moutinho goes that's €40M and if Chelsea want to go crazy and get Hulk (his release clause is €100M and Porto isn't looking to sell, so it'd take at least €40M to make them change their mind), Porto will be swimming in money. And I know they'd spend it well, but it'd take time to rebuild the team. And I know which team I'll be supporting in the Premier League this season.

am i the only one watching the women's world cup? i'm so deprived of football this is what i have to resort to (although tbh the quality is about on par with birmingham's offerings last season).
the best part of women's football is how awful the goalkeepers are. if you shoot on target from anywhere and it doesn't accidentally hit the keeper it's a goal, guaranteed.
Pre season friendly to at Fratton Park - Pompey home to Chelsea, fairly even game with Chelsea only winning by a stupid own goal by Tal Ben Haim 😡
Chelsea look very shaky at the back and failed to worry our goal too much (even in the 2nd half when Lampard, Anelka & Drogba were on), Torres is still wandering around somewhere totally lost.
But......, is John Terrys boot too high here >>
A big white leg going into Luke Varneys head & shoulder - the ref wasn't bothered 😡😡
