At Cornellà watching Espanyol 1-1 Atlético Madrid. Espanyol playing with just Osvaldo up front and a deep midfield. Luis García abd Iván Alonso leed to be moved on in the summer.
Very impressed by the very vocal Blanco y Azul ultras.
United reps apparently here watching De Gea.

Obviously only one game but what do you think of De Gea from watching him live in the stadium?

He looks great on TV in terms of saves he makes, but whenever I see him at a game I don't think he commands the box or his defence anything like a keeper rated at £15-£20m should.

Bale
Nasri
Tevez

i know its a farce generally, and voted for in January, but does Bale deserve that really?

More evidence that most footballers are stupid.

Re: Football Chat Thread : Sun Apr 17, 2011 9:59 pm  

Agree absolutely. First time I've seen him in person and a fee of £20 million looks far too much.
Osvaldo was superb again and he'd really suit the Premier League.
Reyes is still an absolute tool.

Only one thing worse than losing to Citeh & that's having to share a coach back with sweaty Wanderers fans as we speak! Has running water not reached that part of Lancashire yet? Must be these guys that put the B.O in Bolton

Caught 2nd half of the dippers match earlier and wondered when they actually signed up half the Croxteth Crew to their playing squad.... was like watching an episode of Crimewatch!

Splendid work by the London press
best player (Kompany) didn't even get a nomination
Tevez has done precious little in the last 2 months (but fantastic before)

The cameras are always on the managers when they shake hands so he must have known.

2 matches automatic, guaranteed. I expect we'll see it tomorrow in the news.

How long has Arsene been managing now and he still doesn't understand a MINIMUM of 8 minutes. By the time Arsenal had taken their pen and celebrated there were another 2 mins at least to add on.

Can't stand Liverpool but Dalglish' interview was bang on.

It's funny how liverpool are getting it now but couldn't get their head around "fergie time" when united benefitted from similar circumstances.

With the amount of whining Man United fans are getting up to, I'm beginning to think that Wenger should take over at OT when Fergie retires.
