True. You almost have to come thru the system it seems. He's have to compete with Iniesta whose only 27 or 8. I'd ship Pedro out and give him that spot.

For as much as I dislike that pansy, little moustached weenie, Pedro plays good football.

I think Bale to Barça is a bit of a stretch (especially with them clamouring for money to complete a myabe 35M deal for Fabregas last summer).

If they were completely moving on from David Villa, letting him go, maybe space. But Bale isn't a "barça" style player. He doesn't have that first touch and instant awareness. He's prone to bolting down that left wing. Not that that's bad - it's just what he does.

Then again, I didn't like Sánchez at first, but it seems he's fitting in more and more as well.

But yes - it'd be overload, even for a stretched squad.

Villa/Pedro/Fabregas, Messi/Villa, Sánchez/Pedro
Fabregas/Iniesta, Busquets/Mascherano, Xavi
Fontás/Abidal, Puyol, Piqué, Alves

Dang it. Barça just has so many versatile players. I couldn't believe my eyes the first time I saw Fabregas moving up the left wing, he even drifted into their no.9 slot for half a game once.

No it just means the journalist responsible made it up.

West Ham 2-1 up at home to Millwall despite having Nolan sent off in the 9th minute. 71 minutes in, I hope they can hold out.

Henry makes it 7-1 - very generous from RVP.

7-1 hurts. frown.gif Happened to me one time in a league game where we were brought down to 9 men and no subs by injuries.

Well to be honest, I put that up about 3 minutes into the match biggrin.gif Excellent work by Walcott, RVP and Oxlade-Chamberlain today. I really felt bad for Blackburn today, especially in the opening 15 or so minutes of the second half. Arsenal did whatever they wanted the whole match, but that opening of the half was just brutal for Blackburn.

Apparently, it's not as bad as it first seemed. Didn't break anything, just tore the skin off, pretty much.

Completely surprised by the Chelsea/ManU match. Never would have called Chelsea putting in 3, despite De Gea in goal.
