Sorry for double posting, but this is pretty big.

Kenny Dalglish, a man who knows a things or two about football, wrote an article about the RM vs FCB game last Wednesday, it's pretty long, but please read it.

hmmm, i guess it really isn't all that long. i watched the end of one game, it was a canadian team vs a usa team, and after time expired they kept playing! like, for five minutes. can anyone explain this?

Canadian field is wider and longer, only 3 "downs" instead of four. plus some minor rule differences, thats basically it. i like watching Canadian football more cause i get to cheer for my home provinces team. thats the main reason.

They have injury time, they play for longer because of all the stoppages they've had earlier in the game for injuries/free kicks and shit like that.

God, we all know that in football, miracles sometimes do happen, and If I could choose one miracle, than it would be MC to loose all of their 3 last games ...

anyway, I'm not watching El Classico tonight, Slovakia - Russia should be a good hockey , I'm gonna watch hockey tonight !

I can't see City losing out on Champions League football now, they would have to lose all their games and we win all ours. still, qualifying for the Europa League after the season we've had is still a great achievement (we still need to win all our games though!). ALL HAIL KING KENNY.

I know, that's why it would be a miracle, and it most probably won't happen, but next year we're gonna make it !

btw: Bobby, would you ever believe that Skrtel will still be a part of the essential 11(how the fuck am I supposed to write it ? :P ) and simultaneously Liverpool will be doing very well ?

anyway, Napoli can't loose the CHL spot, we're just too close this year !

hopefully, I do like him. depends who we bring in during the summer. I can't see us relying on Agger cos he's so injury prone and Carragher hasn't got too many years left in him.

let's hope we see great football tonight, hopefully madrid won't hold back which means that there could be more space

Madrid have got nothing to lose now really, so they might as well go all out tonight and just attack.

Madrid won't hold back tonight.
I think Pep should start off with Keita in midfield, and AndrÃƒÂ©s foreward, for many reasons:
1- Pedro is pretty far from the Pedro we know, he's great for pressure and everything, but doesn't hold the ball the way Iniesta does, keeping ball possession is very impornat tonight.
2- Keita isn't that brilliant player, but he's tactically very disciplined ( lol i just translated that directly from french) he does EXACTLY what Pep tells him to, not to mention that he's more of a defensive midfielder, he will cover Sergio's place when BarÃƒÂ§a's in attaque, and help him reduce RM's counter attacks.
3- Pep will have 2 ready substitutes instead of one, Afellay and Pedro, so depends on how the game goes, one of them replaces Villa.

I'm a bit worried, but yet i expect another magical night from Pep, PLATINI, and the boys!
