I would like to see Newcastle in the UCL next year. Now that Joey Barton is gone, I have no reason to hate them.

It'd be nice but I think they need a year of cutting their teeth in Europa before they step up to the plate...

And no, that's not the Chelsea fanboy in me talkin :biggrin:

Ba and Cisse have been the best signings of the year in the entire league. Hats off to them - if they manage to capture the spot they will have earned it.

Getting Demba Ba on a free and paying a reported 10 million pounds for Cisse, Newcastle have turned Andy "I can't find the pitch" Carroll and Jose Enrique into 2 absolute goal scoring machines. The real question is if Newcastle can keep one or both from the big boy raids this summer.

Not Premier League, but an important match nonetheless.

Borussia Dortmund defeats Bayern Munich 1-0.

Arjen Robben got a PK in the 85th minute, and the reaction that follows said PK is absolutely priceless!

Dortmund stays atop the Bundesliga table, 6 points clear of Bayern.

If only Subotic was made to pay for his header off his own crossbar right after that penalty miss. Lucky for Borussia Dortmund, Robben was there to smash that rebound over the open goal to seal the game & the league in there favor.

I didn't want to post this in the Champions League thread (since United had an early exit), but in response to the complaining about Barca diving. Ashley Young just had a disgraceful dive in the box for a penalty against the team that gave him his big shot in the Premier League (Aston Villa).

United is too good for that bullshit but they do it all the time. Just to keep it even since I see posters complaining about Barca doing the same thing, yet giving other big clubs a pass.

Ashley Young could teach an Olympic diving class.

I'm not sure he is Olympic quality quite yet, but that was NCAA quality. I am a United fan and I am growing tired of the flops in the box. I just wish guys would try to carry on and not go down like they were shot with a gun.

Don't get it twisted. I'm WELL aware that plenty of other footballers around the world dive. Some more than others. What I was pointing out, is when Barca is in a must win situation, they resort to the weakest of dives.

Much like United this afternoon, their backs are against the wall, Man City is breathing down their necks. It's sad.

I'm just thankful the MLS is taking a stand against it, because something has got to change. I'm assuming the rule just passed recently, but if any player takes a dive and it looks like he's clearly acting, he gets a fine. He keeps taking flops, he gets suspended for a match.

Get the pussies out of the sport, enough of the diving already. It's soccer, not a PK shootout.

What a joke of a sequence on Chelski's second goal.

I'd be mad if it actually mattered. It's clear that Spurs rolled over after Drogba's wonderful strike for the first goal.

Terrible no-call on Terry coming in like a bowling ball, and then granting a goal when the ball didn't cross the line. All around shitty play by the officials.

That sounds like just about every game John Terry is involved in. Dude trucks so many people, and gets away with it.
