    Malaga 3 - 0 Zenit! :D
    Savioa scored against Zenit!

    Real Madrid 3 - 2 ManCity. Craziest 2nd half ever. 1st half was boring, both teams playing it safe which is understandable, but wow what a 2nd half. 5 goals, Real goes down twice and ties it twice and Ronaldo gets the game winning goal in the 90th! Mourinho celebrates like never before.


    Luisao suspended 2 months and misses all competition. Maxi suspended. Not looking good against Celtic. Miguel Vitor is the RB, and Jardel fills in for Luisao. This could be a disaster.

    Ya crazy game. Real were attacking for long periods. Ronaldo was torching Maicon and that left side all game.

    Battle of the richest didn't disappoint. Hope for more of the same at the Etihad stadium in the 2nd leg.

    After watching this game City deserved to lose. They were letting Madrid shoot left and right. Kompany sucks! And what a freaking goal by Benzema! Great game.

    And Mourinho sliding, what a jackass! When did he score?! But what else is new.

    Good luck guys! No match thread?

    I know you're reshaping and Luisao is an important loss (especially in Europe), but surely you can beat a poor Celtic? They started the season pretty badly.

    Barcelona beat Spartak 3-2. Close game. Pique and Puyol out injured so definitely a possibility at scoring against Barca.

    Braga completely laid an egg today against Cluj, losing 2-0 at home in Braga.

    And Benfica's losing. Shock. Can't wait for the Sporting fans' recycled material later on.

    I hope a some change will happen 2nd half as usual with JJ. Missing Aimar and Nolito is a big lose, Maybe Gaitan and Cardozo can add something to the team. (I dont want to see Perez in the team anymore)

    Those are the players to keep

    Rodrigo, Cardozo, Gaitan, Nolito, Aimar, Salvio, Bruno, Garay, Maxi, Luisau, Artur

    The others are useless in my opinion..

    I'm a Porto fan and I have to agree here (so I hope he stays). His cycle is finished, he's not a bad coach and he did well for Benfica in the beginning but it's time for a regime change.

    Braga up by 2 at OT. :eek:

    Of course your moronic train of thought would mention SCP. We are in the worst years of our clubs history and you want to take a shot at us? Worry about your shit team and why your captain headbutts refs you idiot

    I was right though. You and Z are case in point. Worry about relagation, not me, idiot.

    lol I would not post in this Stinkhole, but you brought us up.

    its okay the season is long, and after what we witnessed in the FC Porto-Sporting clash we can see that Jorge Sousa etc are in fine form yet again for the northern side so enjoy your 2/3rd place finish and we will be happy avoiding relegation like you say.

    Z, you post in here more than I do. You're only kidding yourself.

    Liga is Porto's to lose, has been, and will continue to be so long as JJ is coach.

    Manure were lucky to win. Really impressed with Eder, Coehlo is shit and Micael... well, he's decent.

    Just wish Barbosa played more. I really like his style.
