It will be a great match, even for a friendly with 7-8 substitutes. My guess is 2-2 and we win on penalties.

Also, fuck SajN for cheering for his main rivals. Homo.

[SajN]

Absent?

He helped Barca defeating Milan when they needed it the most, for example. Against Bayern he was injured.

I am not saying he deserves it. Ribery can get it for all I care, but C. Ronaldo doesn't deserve it more than Messi... or less.

[SajN]

Alright. I guess I can kind of agree with you there

[Innovation]

So yeah, Rev, Lello, dr3, Inno and any other I might have forgotten.. You ready?!

Should be a decent match! I don't expect us to win, but I hope we can put in a solid performance. Whoever is playing on the right wing is going to have to do some serious tracking back to help with Ronaldo.

We also pose a serious threat going forward, so I'd like to think you guys have to worry about us too.

[Innovation]

Some of my friends say that this match is going to be the "serious" test, the one that we should get a lot out of.
So yeah, we do respect Chelsea and the work Mou has done ever since he took over.

It's going to be a serious test for both sides. I'm looking forward to it, hopefully it won't disappoint.

[SajN]

Now Barca has officially bid on Luiz from Chelsea. Luiz himself has stated that he is willing to go down in salary to join them. The only obstacle in the way is Chelsea and their man Mou who hates Barca and probably don't want to sell anyone to them.

Ron didn't win anything last year & scored less than Messi so I don't see him as a contender at all. Messi could still be a contender as Barca at least won Primera & as he scored so many goals yet again but it would be totally weird & inappropriate to win it over whoever Bayern player who gets nominated 'cuz of that old fashioned ass whooping they got & most of it 'cuz Bayern won absolutely everything last year.

The thing with Bayern players though is that they didn't have an outstanding player who was a head & shoulders about the rest but were a team team above all.

Sometimes when things are close like they are now... the new season is kinda vital so we'll have to wait & see.

[Innovation]

Luiz himself has stated that he is willing to go down in salary to join them.

When did he say that? As far as I'm aware, he's never publicly stated he wants to join Barcelona. Let's not forget he signed a new 5 year contract last year.

Either before of after the Real game, I'm expecting Mourinho to shoot down this bid. He stated a week or so ago that none of his players will be leaving the club.

[SajN]

The RM players seems to be falling at each contact, lol.

[Innovation]

He's too good.

[Trimss]

AHHAHAH CHELSEA LOST BUNCH OF LOSERS HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH


BUT THEY WON AGAINST Milan

[SajN]

Take that, Mou!

[Francesco]

Take that, Mou!

I was gonna say that too... even though it's a friendly.

Moylesy is having a fairly difficult start to his United career eh? Can't attract top players, not good enough.

Fergie will be back in charge by Christmas. That's my prediction.

Chelsea are favourites for the league this year, with Mourinho in charge. Only one of the top 3 with Premier League experience. I would imagine they will make a blistering start and be a good few points ahead at Christmas. City will need to beat them home and away to keep up, I think.

1. City (because I have to)
2. Chelsea
3. Arsenal
4. Spurs

What do you guys think?

[Hansen]

United is going to fail horribly this season.

My prediction:

1. Chelsea
2. City
3. Arsenal
4. Man United
