I like Ian Holloway very much as he speaks exactly what is on his mind without sugar coating it. He does not insult the intelligence of the fans by giving out scripted speeches. It wil be sad if Blackpool is relegated and Holloway is no longer in the PL.
I think he is right of course... the decision to fine him for fielding a 'weakened side' was ridiculous, especially since the bigger clubs do it regularly without similar treatments. Since he is so vocal and downright...
Both sides are guilty in one way or another... but this is a very biased video. Even the incident of pepe being sent off was shown to be fake since dani alves was not touched!
If they were the greatest team in the world they would not need to resort to cheating tactics. Perhaps the greatest team... at cheating.
Amazing keeper.
Chelsea won the double last season! Give the man another season, the squad itself needs a wake up call.
I really do hope Barca go up against Man U. Just so *some* Man U fans can shut the hell up when they get beaten! The Barca team are too good at the moment and there is no shame as a football fan to admit that, no matter what team you support.
If they end up beating Barca, then by all means brag about it, but first you have to beat them!
I don't agree with the number 1 in this list.
Well then they should stop nagging him to come over then!
Hey, I want a Ferrari, but nagging non-stop does not mean I'm gonna get it on the cheap.
You want a quality player? Pay a quality price. If you can't then just shut up about it and stop demanding 'negotiations'.
Meh... not real. Just a viral video released by Gatorade...
If Man U are serious about winning the CL, then they will eventually face Barca, whether be it in the next round or in the final.
If they play like this they will lose. Screw it, whatever way they play they will lose. Barca are too in form to not win the CL this season.
This article is a suitable reply to Nani.

Don't know why Man U fans are gloating, it wasn't Man U playing Arsenal yesterday... Let' see how they get on if they face Barca, will it only be a 4-3 agg?
How can you say that when there are four EPL teams in the Champions league all in the last 16? If they had crashed out in the first stages you would be correct, but they have not and they look strong. The prem league is a much harder environment than La Liga.
As much as I want Arsenal to go through, it may be better for Arsenal's run in the EPL if they lose the CL.
Barca should have this game in the bag. But if Arsenal score twice (possibility since Barca's best centre backs are missing) then they can lose 3-2 and still go through on away goals.
Are you saying that La Liga is better than the EPL?
Because La Liga is a two horse race throughout the whole season, whilst the EPL is wide open.
Let's not forget that there are currently FOUR EPL teams in champions league.
I highly doubt that Barca or Real can handle the high intensity of the EPL. Sure, Barca will win individual matches no prob, but repeat that every week aginst rough and determined opposition? Nope.
This just makes Arsenal drawing yesterday hurt a lot more. Knowing that we could have been a point behind with a game in hand is mind blowing agonising. Oh well, the title is Man U's to lose but Arsenal are still in there, especially when our key players return and allow Arsenal to run riot on any team.
Great result for both the London clubs.
As much as I would like to see Chelsea beat Man U, I don't think the blues have the confidence or the continuity to beat Man U.
Man U's counter attacking game will pose huge problems for Chelsea.
Well done Birmingham, a well deserved win from them.
As an Arsenal fan I feel that this is the point of the season where Arsenal might fold in. The carling cup was thought to be a certain win. I hope this is not true and that they do have the mental strength, but any more injuries to key players and our season is gone. We simply cannot rely on people like Rosicky.
Perfectly said.
I would also like to add that 'slowly killing' is a large understatement seeing as finishing 20 or more points difference ahead is normal now. More befitting would be Barcelona and Real Madrid have raped, massacred and continue to sh*t on La Liga.
