[PRIIME]

Disappointing draw for Arsenal, but business as usual for PSG.

Hoping Paris can advance this week against City

Man, i turned on the Arsenal/West Ham stream this morning, promptly fell back asleep. Woke up a bit surprised 57 minutes and 5 goals later.

Hay liga.

barca always have problems against them in recent years. players looking exhausted, perhaps with an eye on the summer tourneys. but i'd like to see them focus on the CL and let atletico take the league after blowing an 8 point lead, la liga is one thing but retaining the CL is a feat nobody has done since the name change.

at this point, i can only hope leicester continue their run and keep spurs from winning because they're not letting up after demolishing united. watch for an exodus at arsenal, ozil and sanchez will surely get nice offers while the board/usamov keep backing wenger.

Run of good luck for PSG.

Run of good luck for PSG.

PSG's luck runs out.

CR7 steps it up!

And this after Thiago Silva saying Ibra's step into the BPL would be a "step down" from PSG. Sure, Thiago.

CR7 carrying that team on his shoulders.

At this point the prem would be a step down. At PSG he is guaranteed CL every season. Look at the teams in England that make it; City aside, the rest have considerably worse squads than PSG and he would be a waste of the occasional amazing he pulls off (because, apparently, he intends to exert minimal effort in games and saves his energy for the spectacular).

I think he should just move to the MLS, celebrity football, joining Beckham's team. Although Henry warned him a while ago that he has to be patient in the MLS, presumably because of the poorer standard of passes that don't always come to your feet there...

Ronaldo will go back to being MIA in the crucial games. This was a fluke. The barca match was down to barca falling asleep, and Wolfsburg aren't the most fear-inducing of opposition.

That said, this is lining up for a delicious semi final round. Last year was great, hoping for even more entertainment this year !

He's guaranteed CL play at PSG because Ligue 1 offers so little competition.

What makes the PSG squad, a perennial CL quarter-finalist, so much better than any number of English sides?

The BPL would be a step down because he wouldn't be able to coast through the entire regular season?

 

[El Argentino]

TLETI!!!!

 

[the shah]

wow these guys are just not moving. MSN getting exhausted perhaps. It's times like these they'll wish they had speedy little spaniards they could inject into the game to cause havoc for the opposition's defense (*ehem* pedro)

Suarez and Neymar should've been sent off.

Add Iniesta to that list
