All this talk by 'experts' like Phil Thompson saying Real Madrid are poor defensively. I've watched them quite a lot and Nou Camp aside I've seen absolutely no evidence that they are poor defensively. Keeper is good, Ramos is good, the 2 portugese CB's are good, Marcelo is very attacking but can still defend. Diarra, Alonso and Khedira give good protection.
I bet the last time Phil Thompson watched them was when Liverpool smashed them at Anfield a few seasons ago

Phil Thompson is a know-nothing waste of oxygen. With an enormous nose and an entire chip shop on his shoulder because Liverpool are so crap these days. Mourinho's teams are not lacking defensively, quite the opposite.
Bridge had a good game today against Spurs... was quite surprised actually. He managed to keep Lennon quiet, Spurs have alot of pace and he defended well. Kolarov is great going forward, but defensively has been poor.
If Wayne can play like that week in week out, I would actually be tempted to give me another shot next season. Will see if it was just a "one off" though.

Bridge is probably the most one-footed player in the entire world. Good attacking but awful in defence which is a bit of a prob for a defender really. West Ham is about his level.

He wasnt today... one footed yes, if he played like that every week I would have him back
Got News 24 on at the mo..........ticker just said JT been restored as permanent England captain.
Yes sprouty he's got the captaincy back. I'm kind of surprised since he tried to tell Capello what to do in the world cup while playing completely crap himself. He's a lucky man.

Well I don't see the point in Ferdinand having it when he never bloody plays
He spends more time on twitter than actually playing football. Ferdinand out and Lescott in

It would appear so Prom
Landon Donovan has gone up in my estimation
@stuholden watched it live, so bummed for you buddy. No place for a tackle like that in football...I hope he gets punished accordingly

Apparently Capello wanted to meet Ferdinand in the week to talk to him and Ferdinand refused. Refuses to meet the England manager when he's captain nice touch that Rio.

Fergies influence?Who knows? He might have still been in the running but I guess he'll never know now. He was a crap captain anyway.

He's a great captain but unfortunately a complete idiot too. He'll keep the captaincy till he does Capello's missus
I think it's a good decision to reinstate Terry. Ferdinand has no right to complain when he's only been fit enough to actually do his job as captain twice in 12 months (a 12 months that included a major tournament).
And then when you consider the other candidates, you realise how stupid it is to dismiss someone for non-footballing matters, because they've all done worse...

afternoon all
That ref in the Scottish game is brave - awards a pen and then retracts it?? I'm only listening to the radio but they were all 
considering what's gone on up there with refs and these two teams in the last year or so.
Sunderland paid and then some for the luck they had with the beach ball goal last season. All the injuries, player sent off and the ref giving a pen that was a free kick. I'd be livid if I was a deckchair.
I wonder if Blue Mancs will park the bus against Chelsea this afternoon. I think they will, just like they did against us. Shocking way to play when you consider the excellent players they have who are capable of so much more

Tevez is out for City so they'll almost definitely be parking an enormous bus in front of their goal.
Lampard should be captain in my opinion. Doesn't seem to get into trouble off the field, doesn't seem to be part of the Cashley JT clown brigade on nights out at 7 in the morning, doesn't shag team mates girlfriends as far as I know, doesn't go around thumping people, doesn't fail to turn up for drugs tests, hasn't really had long spells out injured during his career.

Just watched it back several times - the ref did the right thing
Utter stupidity Tried parking the bus for 80 mins and now because the plan doesn't go according to plan... he sends on Balotelli and Johnson in hope that they manage to level it.
I wouldn't mind too much losing if we actually attacked, but the fact that we had every man behind the ball and still couldn't keep them out makes me angry.

I'm back home! They've put the games on the wrong way round-I really don't give a flyer about these two teams. Though I do agree that John Terry makes the best England Captain. Capellini should never have sacked him. (my phone selected that name, I like it) am I wrong in thinking that Lampard insulted some yanks after 11/9 or appeared in home movies or summat?
Suarez you beauty 
A Man City defeat can help Liverpool greatly, bearing in mind we still have to play both them and Spurs. Unless we shit the nest the battle for 4th is still in our grasp....
Also, not for the first time Chelsea flourish when Torres goes off. Luiz is a class player.

2-0
Totally deserved that result, can't wait to hear Mancini
Prob blame it on the laser from the crowd

If I was in the Man City board room at the end of this season I'd be saying this league's here for the taking.
But what do I know?

Cannot argue with that.Didn't watch the game because knew exactly how Mancini would set his team up and thought it would be a total bore fest.

I was beginning to think that City would hold out for a point. However, after that wonderful Luiz goal the game was over imo; regardless of Mancini's seemingly knee-jerk reaction to try and change his system, and without the excellent solo goal late on from Ramires.I'm now hopeful of a Top 3 finish for Chelsea.
