Olivier's xmas twist

Shouldn't have really sold RvC and replaced with Giroud. Once he settles at Utd they'll ease away from us until they are out of sight. Rooney and RvC, 75 goals between them last season. Talk about strengthening your opponents. Can't think of a dumber move in football for many a year.

2-1 to Utd BTW - RvC of course. He'll get 30+ again this year and that will probably be enough to give the title to Utd. Wonder how many our lad will score. Not many at all I think.

Yeah but the Utd defence being shite and the midfield being poor will not.

That second Robin van Persie goal gets better every time I see it... he had a quick glance to see the Cluj keeper charging towards him before steering the dropping ball past him, all in one movement.

Van Persie's second goal, though, gets worse with every viewing. It bounced in off his shoulder (and, no, he didn't mean it!). Still, I guess they all count...

So his 2nd goal gets better and worse every time he sees it?

I don't think we can play as badly as we did against Norwich ever again. I'm not sure that is much encouragement though.

Shakhtar v Chelsea should be good. The Old Boys are back :bow:.

Four goals for Messi tonight?

Messi has scored four or more three times this year. :lol: That's just stupid.

Also, Syn, Ledley will nutmeg one of Barca's midfield I reckon.

Shakhtar are on a ridiculous run. 21 league wins in a row. :haha:
