And in this instance, I give the ref some credit as well. He rightly played the advantage instead of blowing the whistle allowing Mata to continue to go forward and make that cross. I know I shouldn't really comment on how it's supposed to be, but I've seen that type of foul blown dead right away and I'm glad it wasn't the case.

GoldenEye for the N64 may be one of the best games I ever played. The head-to-head deathmatch was spectacular. A buddy of mine and I played Turok as well. I got big into the Phantasy Star series especially 2 for the Genesis. That was a great game. Final Fantasy II for the SNES was one of the best RPG games I played for that console. Anyone get into the TurboGrafx 16? This thread brings up many gaming memories. :-)

Personally, I don't think we need to do a lot to fix the lineup. Maybe a few changes. Sticking with a 4-3-3... Cech Ivan -- Luiz/Cahill -- JT/Cahill -- Cole Ramires -- Reus -- Lampard/Meireles Sturridge -- Torres -- Mata The addition of Cahill allows us for some flexibility for our centre backs. Now, the big acquisition is Reus. Reus allows us to play him as a CAM or just a flat CM depending on how we want to go. I could put Götze in there as well, but he's more of a solid CAM than a floating CM or CAM. I would also say Schweinsteiger, but he's not leaving Bayern. We always have Josh who's a perfect addition to sub in and out of the midfield. Josh needs to get more time regardless. We still have Romeu and Mikel (who I'd keep) if we want to play a DM. I've never really caught on as to why we always need a DM in our formation. To make room for Cahill and Reus, I'd sell Kalou and probably Anelka. That's my 2 cents... And probably why I'm not a football manager. :)

Gutted. Sick. And not really surprised.

Forget the draw. 2-1.

It is the CL. We don't ever get penalties.

F**k me...

Danny's got one heck of a motor on him.

Agreed. Never wanted to see him leave but never wanted to pay him the salary he wanted. We could use him...

Right? After those saves, I'm off to grab another beer from the fridge. I just downed this one real quick. ;)

Thank you Drogs for making me put my foot in my mouth! 1-0, go Blues!

IMHO, Torres needs to come on at half time.

Nice through ball by Danny.

I have to agree that we look bad so far... We got lucky with Ballack's header going off the bar.

Is Torres injured by chance? And what about Ash?

Finally found the match on TV. Now time to watch... Doesn't sound too good.

The more I watch Reus, the more he impresses me... The Germans have a load of talent. Really impressive.

F**k me... I just don't have anything else to say. Gutted. Time to break out the beer.

Unreal...

I'm buying you a pint if this comes true.

I was thinking this also. I know AVB didn't want to disrupt our flow but I would have thought he would give Torres at least a solid 15 min.

Oh, Malouda! That was a good chance for us there.

Great start to the second half, but we need to finish the job. C'mon you Blues!

My sentiments exactly...

Boooooo... /throws tomato
