Sissoko is Crap,and so is Kuyt.Liverpool should have won 3-1 or 4-1 had it not been for his poor finishing.
You're not serious are you? I don't know where the crap thing that you saw in Sissoko, infact I'd pick him mvp of the game. The man didn't stop running and completely shut down Xavi and Motta. He's very strong player, very effective, I'd take him without thinking twice.

:agree: He just needs to work on his passing, I see the "new Vieira" in him....

I remember when I saw Sissoko many many years ago playing for some African team (ye I could google it, my guess is Mali) in some under 21 or 18 World Championship. I was amazed to say the least. It seemed like he was doing whatever he pleased out there. One of the best players I've ever seen at that age.
As for now, it's been a while since I saw him play, didn't catch the Barca game yesterday either.

My game was Inter - Valencia. It has to be said, Inter were looking good first half, could of easily ended 2 or 3-0, had Crespo netted that sitter while already 1-0 up.
It was obvious Valencia were out there to close down and get a good result. Even at 1-0 down they weren't very keen on going forward. They did however have occasional moments of class up front and that, combined with Inter players getting nervous, choking, helped them to get a fantastic result.

guys, I'm no barca fan, but surely we can admit that they CAN and sometimes do play very good football. they are still overrated, they still did NOT deserve to beat arsenal in the CL final, and that yesterday they were truly unimpressive, and that more often than not they are dependent on ronny, but it must be said that messi is capable of some excellent dribbling, and that ronaldinho can sometimes inspire them to play some very good football. I think arsenal when they play well are better to watch, but barca are not all smoke and shadows

Articles from Skysports.com, shows what I said after the match. Firgie tried to cover his ass straight after the match when he got scared Man U would be punished for their crowd's trouble. :eyebrows: I dont think anything will happen thought.


Stadium chief defends actions

The head of security at Lens has rejected talk that his team were heavy-handed with Manchester United fans.

United's 1-0 win over Lille in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night was overshadowed by events off the pitch.

Trouble broke out at Lens' Stade Felix-Bollaert stadium with several fans appearing to be crushed due to over-crowding in the United end of the ground.

Tear gas was used by police to try and stop the supporters from climbing barriers as they tried to avoid being crushed.

Uefa has launched an investigation into the incidents, but the chief of security at Lens, Damien Vanoise, has defended his colleagues' actions.

"I think we responded to what happened," Vanoise told French radio station RTL.

"We didn't intervene by chance.

"There was not even a problem of communication. From the moment we saw the supporters who were trying to pull on the railings, what is the interpretation we can make from that - us, as security guards? For me, it is violent behaviour."

Vanoise also insisted that no one got crushed and that there were not too many people in the visitors' stand.

"I can tell you that nobody was crushed in the wire fencing," added Vanoise.

"There weren't too many people in that stand. The stand was not full."
Lille point finger at United

Lille director general Xavier Thuilot has hinted that Manchester United should be thrown out of the UEFA Champions League following the worrying crowd scenes that accompanied their clash on Tuesday night.

Uefa has already launched an investigation into the events that saw the United end of the ground apparently suffer from overcrowding in a stormy 1-0 win for the English side.

French police sprayed tear gas at the away crowd after some supporters attempted to scale perimeter fencing, and it has been reported that 5,000 fans were in a section of terracing designed to hold 3,500.

Uefa will discuss the issue on 22nd March after investigating 'possible violations of binding Uefa safety and security instructions by the host club, as well as the alleged improper conduct of both sets of supporters'.

United are planning to submit their own report to Uefa after consulting fans that were present at Stade Felix-Bollaert - some of whom have complained of heavy-handed policing - but Lille have now pointed the finger at their English counterparts.

Thuilot has claimed that the actions of some United fans were in a similar vein to those Feyenoord supporters who resulted in their team being expelled from the Uefa Cup following trouble in a game against Nancy.

"Uefa gave the green light to our security measures on the morning of the match so if they punish us they are in effect punishing themselves," Thuilot told a press conference.

"Manchester United are imposing their own brand of the law to Lille football club, to the Felix-Bollaert stadium and to Uefa.

"There was a real will on their part to impose their side of the story right from the full-time whistle because the club knows what's at stake following incidents involving their supporters.

"It's up to Uefa to rule on the issue, but we are clearly in the same category as Feyenoord."

Thuilot also blamed United's early release of match tickets for a number of forgeries, leading to alleged overcrowding in the away end.

"We sent their quota of places to Manchester several weeks ago, as is the usual thing to do.

"But the English club, instead of distributing the tickets to their supporters on their arrival at the stadium (or) on their descent from the bus, sent them out a month ago.

"The result - some very good forgeries, which have allowed some supporters to enter the stand reserved for them. All the forged tickets on the night were Manchester United tickets."

United have quickly rejected such accusations, replying: "Tickets were distributed by recorded delivery 11 days before the game or for collection from February 1.

"We would normally send out tickets for our home games at Old Trafford six weeks before the match and we have no problems with forgeries."

Inter can play "dream football" and still they will be hated by majority on this Forum.
Mark, inter can only play football in their dreams. :p ;)



Sorry for using this smiley again, but I think that it really suits such an argument.

In my opinion, the apparent point of weakness in Capello as well as in Rijkarrd is the absence of plan B once the their original plan is failed to make them take the lead.

I don't think so, actually I don't hope.

:cheesy:

The same wish here. :smoke:
I love that smiley too!
