Coquelin is actually really good.Yeah Djourou and Jenkinson can go...but Arshavin is still a threat sometimes.

Any one see the line-up Pep is sending out for this Barca v. Villarreal game? essentially has 2 lines of mid-fielders:
Valdes-Abidal-Mascherno-Kieta-Busquets-Thiago--Cesc-Iniesta-Pedro-Sanchez-Messi.

I look forward to the day when Pep decides to play 11 mids at once. If they can just control 100% possession, they don't even need Valdes out there.

Yesterday was tough, crazy how a team so far away affects your day. Feel sorry for the away support, they were great all match.
Arsenal have signed Andre Santos from Fenerbahçe.

You can argue that Man Utd. is playing an extremely young, new, and inexperienced squad.

So, why does Villareal not have any sponsor logos on their kits?

I think half of La Liga is without kit sponsors at the moment. Saw an article on it the other day...meanwhile, Barca and Real have deals estimated at 30 mil. each.

I guess I was wrong on the Meireles speculation. There are reports Chelsea are making an improved bid for him. Sounds like a player plus cash. Would rather see sturridge come our way instead of benayoun but that probably won't happen.

As a Utd I'm not even gonna sit here and try to say City aren't a good squad, that'd be absurd. But
@ you City "fans." Where were y'all last year in the last thread?
PS. last time you won silverware, we were wrapping up the league later in the day. 5-1 is damn impressive too, but it sure as hell ain't 8-2.

unless barca or real are involved, I don't really feel like watching any other la liga matches as opposed to the epl where I will watch most teams. I'm really glad I got to see Manchester united play at soldier field against the Chicago fire.

Valencia - Racing from this past Saturday > Any other league fixture to date in terms of excitement
Just watching the thrashing yesterday, I'm running out of superlatives to describe Barca. Experimental lineup in an unfamiliar formation yet they destroy a Champions League team by a 'manita,' and hold 75% possession. Unreal.
Sources aren't exactly credible, but

your loss
And aren't there only 2-3 good teams in England per year? How is that so different from any other league? Man United and Chelsea are the usual contenders, and then once in a while you have another challenger come in like this year's Man City squad
