I agree, but they should have had two other pens and two red cards in addition. Like the England vs Germany game I think this is the week that breaks the camels back. This standard of refereeing is just too bad. Something will be done whether it's just allowing refs from other countries to ref...

This is really the worst and most cowardly group of refs I have ever seen. I can understand making mistakes, but they are not giving decisions they are blatantly seeing. I have always been against video technology and was even against goal line technology, but it might be time to bring...

It's not just Thursday nights it is European football in general. Europa League is worse, because teams in it don't usually have the quality of the top teams. I have said it from the start, but the CL is going to have a big impact on the title race. Sadly the Europa League may be the reason why...

I don't think he has the potential to be in that level either, but I believe he can be a better player than Joe Cole. The raw materials are there with Barkley: very strong, fast, both footed, good shot, can drive with the ball and has an eye for a pass. Needs to improve virtually everything...

Yes exactly. From the little I have heard and seen I think he will be keen on a move to City. He is best as a 10 or in a very fluid front 3, but Silva is better than him and the City's 10. He will be pushed out wide if he gets into the team and may not necessarily be in the first team. He was...

Souness is not a good pundit. He is one of the worst. He is always wrong, gets his facts wrong, misreads tactics and misreads games. The only good thing about him is that he is his own man and gives an honest opinion. I only watch English TV, but Neville, Carragher and Henry are leagues above...

I agree with that though talented youngsters often go through a difficult period after bursting through. In recent times Iniesta, Muller, Kroos, Ronaldo etc have all had such periods and come out it stronger. Barkley has the potential to become a world class player if he can get through this...

LOL. Just seen the incident. I have sympathy for Matic. That was a leg breaker and a certain red card. I can see why he was so angry. His reaction was usually a red card, but on another day could have got away with a yellow. Anyway it's swings and roundabouts. We had lots of bad luck with...

I did not mean to write that. Will edit it out. Got distracted with a conversation somewhere else. I meant to say though he IS world class he is not yet at the level of the likes Messi/Robben/Ronaldo and even Reus. He is world class and one of the best in the league. Arguably is the player of...

I don't see why Barca have so much fear. Yes in Messi and Neymar they probably have 2/5 best players in the world, but the rest of the team is not that frightening. They are a tp team, but City have the better midfield and even defence on paper. The gap could be back to four points tomorrow.

Robben won't win it, but he has probably been the best player in the world for the last year. Schalke and Leverkusen dropped points again today. The race for the CL spots could get interesting. Wolfsburg look certain to take it and that leaves two spots. Even Dortmund have an outside shot.

It was the right thing to do initially, but it takes a lot of effort and movement to keep the ball so well. It was the right way to play initially, but not as the team were tiring and City were getting more desperate. At the very least Alonso's mistake should have been the warning sign that the...

Perfect week for City. Chelsea drop points and United lose. Next week I think will be the season defining week for City. Win the next two games and you have a great chance at the double. Two wins, two points away from top spot and favourites to beat Barca. Lose both and it will be hard to see...

Obviously not seen the game, but hear Chelsea had some bad decisions. However, they have far bigger worries than that. They just don't have the squad depth or quality to compete on all fronts. I am not that surprised they lost after a CL game. It's probably better for them to go out of the CL...

It seems there are three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and Arsenal getting the fourth place trophy. Arsenal were awful today. We had the best of the game and a better team would have thumped them. Sadly we lacked quality and despite having a lot of possession and getting the...

Not fair to blame Boateng when he follows the instructions of the coach. Bayern foolishly kept trying to play possession football and pass it out of dangerous areas all game. This was risky but worked at the start yet it wouldn't work when the players tired. Alonso made a big mistake himself...

We will see, but Bayern actually have an average record against the big teams especially away. Lost 4-1 to Wolfsburg, lost 3-2 t City, drew 0-0 with Gladbach, drew 1-1 with Schalke and lost to Dortmund on neutral ground. Of course they had their spectacular result against Roma. I am not a fan...

I would be more than happy for Guardiola to go there. Would be perfect. I wasn't convinced by Van Gaal before he came to United, but he had a good world cup showing which made me more worried and then they splashed a lot of money. Herrera I had not seen and Di Maria should be one of the best...

Even then it would be a lot more than they would have got without the contract and at least he made sure they got more money back. Another important win for Dortmund they looked nervous today and when Kampl went off they stopped playing some good football. The defence was nervous too and they...

Or not. He is just loyal and wants to do something with his home club. It's not like he has not been a success elsewhere. I guess the Kroos must be the only Bayern player with the balls to start somewhere in the distance. Schweinsteiger, Muller, Lahm etc just lack balls. The same goes for Ribery...
