March 6, 201115 yr Don't they only become available on Monday or Tuesday? You can always try footytube which is quite decent. It normally does but it doesn't look like it. It says for most programme on BBC's website that they will become available on iplayer later but it doesn't mention anything for MOtD. I've watched the game, just wanna see the interviews etc. Thanks, gonna try footytube.

March 7, 201115 yr terrible loss for man utd. i'm having serious doubts now over our chances of winning any trophies at all this season. the team as a whole is in a serious form slump and losing our best player this season Nani is the last thing we needed. we've been very very lucky this season but i think our luck has finally run out.
March 8, 201115 yr 3-1 Chelsea win over Blackpool. Good win considering Blackpool's performances at Bloomfield this season.
March 8, 201115 yr It's over a month since Torres signed for Chelsea for a British record £50m. Let's take a look at some of Torres's highlights in that Chelsea shirt so far. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jtcU4p-17t0#at=101
March 8, 201115 yr Hahaha! Although it's a bit premature to be judging him right now, I do recall I posted opinions in this thread about how Chelsea's style does not suit Torres, and I didn't see the match tonight but someone told me there were a few flashes of brilliance and signature Torres movement (This was from a Chelski fan by the way, I wouldn't mind knowing the un-biased truth) but I think he's destined to be a flop, which is unfortunate because he is incredibly talented, he just went to the wrong club. In the same way I thought Henry was making a huge mistake by going to Barca, some would argue that he did well but from what I saw, I was right. Torres+Drogba= :wtf:
March 8, 201115 yr I watched the first half...he didn't play like a player worth 50 million pounds from what I saw.

In the same way I thought Henry was making a huge mistake by going to Barca, some would argue that he did well but from what I saw, I was right. Torres+Drogba= :wtf: I think you're right but Torres for the past year now has looked very average. Was obviously highlighted by his very very poor World Cup. I thought he'd fire them in already at Chelsea but he's the exact same as he was before his move. True the formation is probably not in his favour at but as far as I'm concerned spending 50m has not made the slightest bit of difference to the Chelsea attack. It's not as though they needed Torres desperately. They should have spent that money on a midfielder because that's where the quality has declined most for Chelsea the past couple of years.
March 8, 201115 yr Chelsea was weak sauce today. Coming from a non-chelsea fan, I thought Torres was promising the first few games, he created some opportunities and took shots that barely missed. But I also agree that Chelsea probably shouldn't have bought him. Not only does he not fit in with Drogba, but it wasn't the strikers that needed fixing during their slump so much as everything else.
March 8, 201115 yr Champion's League tomorrow!! Predictions?? Barcelona 2 - 0 Arsenal (Barca wins 3-2 on aggregate) I'm hesitant about that prediction though... It'll be tough to fend off Arsenal's attack without their top central defenders (with Pique suspended and Puyol still injured), but it's damn difficult to score in Camp Nou and I think Abidal and Busquets will step up. (I know very little about Shakhtar Donetsk and Roma so I won't predict a score for that match)
March 8, 201115 yr once again i have no idea what to think of tomorrows match. the logical thing would be for barca to walk all over arsenal. but barca seem to bring the best out of arsenal so really anything is possible. barca haven't looked their ruthless best since that loss in north london and we all know of arsenals woes in that time. i'm just hoping for 90mins of high quality football.
March 8, 201115 yr Shakhtar's only lost 2 matches this season (one was against Arsenal) while Roma have struggled recently (obviously that's comparing Ukraine and Serie A, but Shakhtar did impress in champions league). Statistically Roma may have had a slight advantage last game but seeing how they're playing in Donetsk, I'd be shocked if Roma advanced considering the away-goal rule and all. As for the game people actually care about, I have no predictions since the gunners have been so inconsistent.
March 8, 201115 yr Mascherano: Messi could get five Javier Mascherano has warned Arsenal that World Player of the Year Lionel Messi could repeat his hammering of the Gunners at the Nou Camp, or even go one better and smash five goals this time around. Messi bagged all four in a 4-1 win over Arsenal in the quarter-finals last season and Barcelona are hoping he is in similar form in order to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg, with former Liverpool midfielder Mascherano claiming that Messi could be key once again. "Nothing Leo does would surprise me. I think he can repeat what he did last year or even go one better. We don't know how far he can go,'' he told the Sun. "Obviously 1-0 is good enough but this team does not conform or settle for anything. We certainly will treat the game to win by the biggest margin possible." Mascherano, 26, added: "We always play with the same intensity. The important thing is that we play in the way we are used to. Like we did in London, where I think that apart from the result it was spectacular. "There are games where you don't deserve to have a negative result but you leave with almost nothing. Well, it's over now. But if we have the same intensity as we did in London we have a great chance to go through." Argentina skipper Mascherano helped Barcelona record an important 1-0 win over Zaragoza on Saturday after making a rare start and insists that his side are not thinking about the injured Arsenal players who will miss the game at the Nou Camp. "Walcott and Van Persie are two important players,'' he said. ''In Cesc's case I don't know if he will be there or not. In any of those cases they are very important players for Arsenal but also they have others to replace them. "It's not as if we believe Arsenal will play with eight players if they're not there. No, they will play with 11. Maybe they won't be at the same level - but the ones who will come in, if they are at Arsenal it's because they have the level to be there. "This is a hugely important game. Although it shapes the rest of the season in one competition we still have La Liga and the Spanish Cup as well. We all want to carry on and we will treat this game like a final." http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/890673/javier-mascherano:-messi-could-get-five-this-time?cc=5901
March 8, 201115 yr Looks like Van Persie is back on the roster for Arsenal. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/premiership/arsenal-stars-van-persie-fabregas-and-wilshere-recover-in-time-for-barcelona-clash-15106710.html

Actually Barca haven't looked world class in a handful of games, they only drew 1-1 the Saturday before they went to the Emirates. As much as Pep doesn't want to admit it, the unthinkable has happened and for the first time since he started as coach, they are in a slump- great news for Arsenal. I'm going to predict Barca go through regardless.

I'm going to predict Barca go through regardless. Definitely. They should have blown out Zaragosa...instead they barely beat them. However, I think today they'll light up. They're treating this as a CHampionship game now. They'll give it their all and Messi almost always shows up big in situations like this.
March 8, 201115 yr As much as I want Arsenal to go through because they're an English club I think they'll get battered tonight.
March 8, 201115 yr As much as I want Arsenal to go through because they're an English club I think they'll get battered tonight. As much as I am an Arsenal fan I agree, Arsenal have been bad without Cesc...
March 8, 201115 yr As much as I am an Arsenal fan I agree, Arsenal have been bad without Cesc... Oh dear! You spoke to soon! Fabregas just pretty much pulled the trigger on his own team by helping Messi to score. Does the guy not know how to clear his lines? What an utter idiot thinking he can flick it back in such a dangerous place and he got what he deserved.
March 8, 201115 yr Wow, what a half. Stupid, stupid mistake from Fabregas right when things were looking up for Arsenal. On one hand Barca had them under seige for essentially the whole half (possession was what? 68-32?) but the amount of shots was low because of a lot of crucial last second defensive tackles. Barca was Barca, as expected, but the gunners made sure only a genuine Barca through-ball was gonna break the defense. I was more afraid when Arsenal finally began an attack near the end of the half, because that gave Messi more room to operate on the counter-attack. Stupid foul from Van Persie, but I was more ticked by Arbidal for grabbing his neck after having taken a dive just a minute before. The goal obviously changes everything (props to Messi for the footwork). I hope the 2nd half isn't too much of a downer.
