Eh... that 'fact' doesn't mean anything. If Messi doesn't play, of course the tactics would be different, which could lead to different outcomes.

Barca has had many matches without Messi where they win by many goals.

Oh wow. Capello has resigned as England manager. No doubt this is because of him speaking out in support of John Terry. I wonder who will be his replacement? The FA need to find one quickly.

Roman Abramovich repeats rare trip to Chelsea training ground

It looks like Roman was pissed off after that 3-3 draw too lol.

Guus Hiddink won't lead them to victory though. Sucks for England, seeing as Capello instilled true leadership, didn't he also fix the diets of the players too? Lol. So close to the Euro Cup too...

LOL!

Capello was an awful England manager. The World Cup was the most depressing England performance in our history. He also failed to learn the language in 4 years as coach.

They'll get someone English in next and we'll fail in a different way.

[Trimss]

England should get Luiz Felipe Scolari.

[Trimss]

^ He's dope though, but I don't think he could adapt with the england style of football.

[Innovation]

The FA offered Jose the job before.

[Innovation]

Yeah they suit his style of play. What Jose did with Inter was crazy though.

[Innovation]

Wow, one of the best compilations I've seen.



Without Mata, our season would be much more bleak tbh. Amazing signing.

The 2008 final is what really pissed me off. I couldn't believe it when Terry slipped and then I had to watch Anelka's half-assed penalty. Iniesta's goal in 2009 was also hard to swallow.

This season in the PL, the QPR was hard game to watch. Sitting through the Howard Webb lead comeback against Utd was even worse.

List of Heart-Breaking Football Moments for me (I cried heavy tears after every one of those):


-1998 World Cup Quarter-Final Croatia 3-0 Germany
-1999 UCL Final, 90+min comeback from 1-0 to 2-1 United against Bayern
-2002 FIFA World Cup Final, Brazil 2-0 Germany
-2004-05 UCL Semi-Final: Chelsea vs Liverpool (ghost Liverpool goal)
-2006 FIFA World Cup Semi-Final, Germany 0-2 Italy (2 goals at 118 and 120)
-2006-07 UCL Semi-Final: Chelsea vs Liverpool (penalty loss)
-2008 UCL Final, Terry miss, then United winning
-2008 Euro Final: Spain 1-0 Germany (still ♥ el Nino)
-2009 UCL Semi-Final Second Leg: Tom Henning Ovrebo
-2010 FIFA World Cup Semi-Final: Spain 1-0 Germany

How can you cry tears for Germany?

I've never cried at football. My earlier years at City were so bad that I'm now immune to footballing related pain, other than mild disappointment. I still haven't come to terms with City being good.

The 4-3 Owen defeat to United was quite close mind,although that was more like RAGE.

Newcastle are decent, we could do with Cisse/Ba rather than Dzeko.

although that was more like RAGE.

Yeah exactly. For me it's just anger. This season, there's been a lot of it lmao.
