itt liverpool not winning things; sandbox i love football

essien tho! What an astonishing parallel to draw!

Gwan, do another one!
Diaby?

Diaby just needs to be rid of his grandma's ankles.

On a similar note, we're level on points at the top of the table.

diaby will be playing back-up at fenerbache when he can pass a medical to be sold

goddamn now i need to be able to use the search function more than ever, i'm sure two years ago you were calling him the new cruyff or w/e

Diaby is talented and can have terrific matches but I've never been deluded enough to think he'd be fit enough to get anywhere.

yr take on a footballer in 6 words or less

just to have it in one place for future-darragh

sandbox tho

we'll just c&p the whole damn thread and start a new one in ilf or something then, jeez.

Diaby's 35 yard shot against Uruguay in the World Cup that nearly beheaded Winnie Mandela in row Z was amazing.

He really does not like this scarf, does he?

Park, Giggs and Jones in midfield for Utd. Not one of our recognized central midfielders trusted to do the job

Is Carrick broken or diregarded?

Discarded

Suspended actually, which had slipped my mind. Guess that only really left Gibson and Fletcher. The mind boggles

not like that gap wasn't recognised this past while tbf

beauty

will last seconds obv

this could jeopardise united's written in stone 6-year one team challenge of barcelona's dominance

Vidic's flying elbows have struck twice already with Smalling the worst-affected victim

I really like Basel on the break. They go for throat when they have a momentary advantage (usually due to Utd having no central midfield)

this Shaqiri's a good player

he was good in the under whatevers euros or whatever it was. he was linked with a few clubs in the summer.

been struggling to find a good stream, now finally watching city-bayern.

also lol manchester.

He's got a real authority about him xp, head up running at the defence. A couple of times he's had a stupid amount of space in the middle - he's not playing in a false or withdrawn role or anything, Utd just haven't had anyone there to compete.

silva is a special footballer.

amazing half volley from 18 yards puts them 1-0 up. maybe bayern can stop looking bored from now on.

Ajax have had two goals wrongly disallowed lol

And now Madrid score 0-2 looooooooool

Both goals were disallowed because of offside but it wasn't

Vidic is crocked

Boateng blocks an Aguero shot off the line. Sweet move. I can't actually hate this City team and I really wish I could.

oh fuck that's a bad one

I'm too much of a wuss to dare to watch the replay, I'm going by his reaction only

Wow, he get shawx?

Mr Reliable himself, Evans is on: nothing can possibly go wrong now.

How is Gareth Barry in this team? Future thread: Truly shit players in truly great teams.

It took the ref four or five seconds to decide to give a yellow card - four or five seconds!

Vidic just twisted his knee, nothing too gruesome about it. If he's out for any length of time that could be the season fukt though. One of Utd's better performances of recent times, funnily enough. Just need to get the ball to Nani as often as possible

Ref does seem to be a bit reluctant to make decisions though tbf

time to sell them a virus i guess

Man, I have an aversion to Vidic but the replay of his knee getting caught made me shudder - reminded me of SF Giants catcher Buster Posey breaking his leg.

going for villareal-napoli second half. currently 0-0, hoping for a last minute cavani stormer.

commentator just said villareal have lost 8 of their last 13 in all comps. shame, i like teh yellow subs.

Senna still a starting player. In 2011.

De Guzman looked like he was pulled down in the box but ref didn't give it. It would have been a beaut of a team goal.

Replay shows it was a slip, ref was right.

Just shown a clip of City's second: looked a sweet passing move.

Senna doesn't start that much iirc, they've left out Borja Valero today for some reason.

Lyon at 1-4 now, they only need 2 more and they kick Ajax out, who had a 3 point and 7 goal advantage start of tonight :-)

Oh yeah, forgot about him. Everytime I hear Perez I keep thinking 'But Bobby left?'

Napoli just look ~off~ ya know. Every break is a bit too tame, every pass a bit too light or hit too hard, shots from 35 yards that will never go in etc.

And yet Villareal nearly put it in their own net! Lopez the keeper in nomansland, Cavani pulls it back to I think Zuniga, he hits it off the other Lopez and it was deflecting into goal until the keep ran and tackled the post to keep it out.
