Liverpool will be lucky to qualify for the UEFA cup now, never mind the CL. Adios Suarez I imagine.

you mean they won't be able to afford him, or is he gonna get fired for not scoring & not scoring & not scoring?

of course.

he was barely touched but crumbled to the ground like a sack of potatoes

I think he'll want to leave. He's a world class player who'll expect to be playing at CL level and for all Rodgers public support for him, I don't think he's really his kind of player. Suarez can be brilliant but his selfishness reminds me a lot of Arjen Robben and Rodgers wants a far more fluid Barca-like style. Regardless of his obvious qualities he strikes me as a difficult player to slot into a team, so the one thing that might keep him at Anfield regardless of where Liverpool finish could be a simple lack of interest elsewhere.

Shame if he does leave England though. Along with Kompany, he's probably my favourite players in the prem right now. (Weird, cos I can't think of two more different players - and I imagine people).

Love it.

you mean from last weekend vs. schalke? or CL highlights for the upcoming matches?

[pad_023]

Great result for albion tonight, it's good to have Mulumbu and Yacob back, without them we were very shaky indeed. Even though Liverpool had most of the possession we were solid at the back and didn't look like conceding. Definite dive for the penalty, disgraceful play by Suarez.

its a shame that willian left shaktar, the borussia tie will not be as interesting without him

Schalke game.

ah yes. alaba shone. he's always been one of my favorite players since last year (this year he started the season injured/out so it's good to see him back in form).

good to see robben/gomez start as they had been as of late spending a lot of time on the bench with mandzukic/mueller starting. which is awesome i think, to have so many options-- mandzukic has been getting better since he started as well.

in schalke's defense however they were missing key players such as huntelaar and affelay and farfan (the lack of attackers prolly made it easy for alaba to move up). plus they have some kind of coach problem. so they weren't such good competition.

but i'm stoked about seeing bayern play arsenal next week.

======

today, not sure about whether to catch PSG/Valencia or Juve/Celtic live. first world problems!

[demonrail666]

Watching Juve Celtic. Excellent game so far.

Really enjoying it, Celtic are being super aggressive but the quality is all with Juve. I think Buffon has made about 7 or 8 saves but theyve all been routine.

Ref is doing a pretty good job overall, he has ALOT of decisions to make and has kept his cards in his pocket mostly, it looks a really hard one to officiate.

I thought Yakob was gonna get sent off for a while there, Gerrard Lucas and Shelvey were getting in on him and he was getting bullied, but he held his nerve well and it was great to see Albion win.

psg beating valencia at halftime. nice game, not great, but i'm only half-watching @ work.

[demonrail666]

Who's the guy in your sig, Ikara?

[h8kurdt]

NO ONE SAY THE RESULTS FOR THE PISSING CELTIC GAME! Watching it on +1. Man the ref is certainly getting his work cut out.

[the ikara cult]

Its Michael Cusack, founder of the GAA and, i was pleased to find out a couple of years ago, a direct relative of mine.

[demonrail666]

Very cool. The likelihood that he smoked a pipe looks very high.

so can valencia/psg be mentioned? or is it too soon?

(i havent watched celtic/juve yet so yes, please, keep it quiet...)

[demonrail666]

This would be an ideal opportunity for payback on your Omar/The Wire revelation

[the ikara cult]

They got shown up in the end, terrible commentary as usual from Andy "Yeah, Yep..." Townsend, and no objective thought about the match. Ah well, its Real v United tomorrow, and apparently Wayne Rooney is a "Freckled Devil"

haa haa haaa. i think i found out accidentally but im trying not to think of it.

you'd only hurt h8kurdt at this point.

don't miss the next valencia/psg though-- the stakes are higher... should i tell? should i tell?

----

anyway, zlatan got kicked out at the last minute. red card! ouch... and verrati got a yc which means he won't play either. psg is crippled for next time.
