I was going to say what odds on 5-0 and Ronaldo to score but then I realised you'd probably get better odds on 5-0 and Ronaldo not to score.

Couple days late BUT SO WHAT, SHHH, DON'T JUDGE ME T-T...
So Sunderland got thrashed 8-0, by Southampton who are doing insanely well anyways!! :O
I saw highlights of the match and all I saw was the Sunderland defence give up and let Southampton score... I guess this is one situation where the revered Jean Alain Boumsoung could have easily carried a team's backline. Poor, poor Sunderland... OH AND NEWCASTLE WON A MATCH... We actually won a match... I didn't think that was possible.
LET THE HAMMER FALL
I thought first and second was sewn up (and it is) but also that the battle for 3rd and 4th would be incredible with three slick red machines in Liverpool, Man United and Arsenal all fighting it out. Instead it's like watching three chubby drunken blokes stumble around, swinging wildly and hoping to be the last one not to pass out on the floor.
Indeed. We all seem to have defensive problems this year, especially United. It's not even the way we play where we leave ourselves exposed all that much, it's just that we keep making such silly mistakes. I suppose that's what good defenders do though, not make mistakes. Wish we had a solid defender although Rojo doesn't look bad mind.
Tonights game will be brilliant. Something like a 2-3 to Madrid.
Str8 Pimpin'
Right now I just want to see consistency at the back. Through injury or selection, we've not had a consistent central partnership in particular, let alone wingbacks, since the start of last season, perhaps before that too. If we can get a preferred duo (or trio, if he does opt for three at the back) of LVG's to sit and learn to work with each other then we might not be too bad. I don't think our defenders themselves are as much the problem as the defenders as a group.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Psychotic will be pleased to know that his previous bantering about the odds has caused me to place a cheeky tenner on a Real win tonight. Scousers worldwide can now sleep easy in the knowledge of a certain Liverpool victory.

Nice job breaking it
Wasn't as bad as it could've been, they will utterly spank us in Madrid though.
The first goal was pure class, no defense in the world could stop that. The second two were just terrible defending though.
Was impressed with Can in the second half, I think he deserves an extended look over Allen. Really, as it has been all along, it's going to come down to whether we can win our last two group games if we want any hope of advancing.
Take care all.
Can hasn't impressed in the league, Allen has been better there.
On the plus side at least we are on level points with the other two teams in the group.
Happy enough with a point vs. Chelsea. We were the better team in the first half, not so much the second. Some interesting ref calls will dominate, but the points could have gone either way regardless of all calls because both teams had a decent number of chances. Both keepers were on top, top form.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
For God's sake Mario.

How bad do you have to be for him to score against you? Ludogorets and Swansea I guess. lol? Lol.
Also jammed it, Leicester still the best City and city
There are words I never thought I would post, and I have to post them quickly while they're still true - before the inevitable happens.
Joe Allen has had Cristiano Ronaldo in his pocket all night.
