itt liverpool not winning things; sandbox i love football

commentators musing on whether fabregas could play as a 'false 9' at the Euros now that Villa is injured. Poor old Torres completely forgotten.

neymar Vs. messi lol

has neymar had over 5 touches yet?

poor old soldado
xp

lol the russian commentator just referred to 'Elano Ralph Rubinstein Blumer' which is some wikipedia vandalism

'There is no Ralph,' Elano explained a few days ago. 'I don't know where that has come from, I never heard it before. My name is Elano Blumer, but because I learned they use your surname only in England I didn't want to become known as Blumer. So I said Elano. And I think my goal against Newcastle last week was the most beautiful I have ever scored, but I don't mind if I score a few ugly ones as well.'

Hernandez is back. Nice surprise

3-0 Cesc. 4 of them queuing up tbf.

Ow poor Santos, they threw half their season to prepare for this one game. I hope they get a goal at least, they can't do worse than United.

Uncalled for

Cesc misses a good chance. Barca not clinical enough. It's like watching LFC (hollow laugh)

Ganso just did something good, which is the first time I've thought that in the half dozen times I've seen him play.

tis the time of year for cooking the goose

I've come to the conclusion that having iniesta/xavi/messi on the same team isn't fair. UEFA should step in.

i dont think ive ever watched the club world cup final before

even by messi standards his touch is insane today

First non Liverpool one that I've watched.

I wonder what Masch really thinks about being a CB now.

tbf on a heat map he is probably only playing 5-10 yards further back than he did at liverpool

that's true actually.
neymar fluffs his chance.

It's a fair point, should Barca's formation properly begin with a zero?

lol that shanked shot by neymar turned out to be a dangerous pass

I watched the Corinthians-Vasco one, most lolworthy primetime entertainment the BBC ever bounced themselves into showing live

every single game about a dozen times I think the opposition has xavi trapped, and every single time he wiggles out. Every fucking time!

alves also proving his worth today imo

he did that about six years ago

rooney helps my fantasy team out. Yes Fergie, he's a CF (when not playing RB obvs)

this xavi fella is quite something

looking forward to seeing what he does next

sometimes it's even possible to imagining him gracing a stage like the emirates, or the etihad

steady

Keane told the Sunday Times newspaper: “If you want to question my managerial record; listen, you could question every pundit’s managerial skill in relation to (Ferguson’s) and we’re all going to come up short.

“But I would also say that without players like myself, maybe he wouldn’t have such a good managerial record because players who go down the punditry road, it’s soon forgotten that we put bodies on the line for him.”

Keane also accused Ferguson of failing to stand by him following his abrupt exit from the club in 2005. “People say he stood by me in difficult times. But he didn’t when I was 34, not when I was towards the end and had a few differences with (former United assistant boss) Carlos Queiroz. All of a sudden then, (it was|) ‘off you go, Roy, and here’s the statement we’ve done.”’

could maybe come off the bench for the gunners. song/wilshere got the centre mid spots sewn up for next 8 years.
xp

messi walks in the fourth.

Good lord that Messi goal

lol the man u rb serves it up

xp I meant the first one hehe

first touch kinda poor and still he makes it

Five Cantonas! Four Cantonas, three Cantonas, two Cantonas and...

...one of those £89 kindles from Amazon.

good work from rooney for first tbfttl

Ppl complaining abt barca monopoly of power need their heads examined they are charismatic leaders not benevolent dictators

suarez drinking his maté there

TWP is playing well. Nice to see him and Valencia linking up for the goal too

on road so only saw goal.

Feeling unconfident about spurs later on, i think the wobble is coming

Great individual goal from Carrick. There's something I can't recall ever saying before.

never questioned the guy's technical ability tbph.

jones should have two today, that would have been fantasy football paydirt

el clasicoast on bbc1 an' all

Jones again

srsly
