If Drogba ever made any effort to stay on his feet, Chelski wouldn't have had to worry about one late goal, they'd have had 2 or 3 of their own on the board. And Ballack should have gotten multiple YC's last week.<br /><br />As for Barca, given a matchup with with ManU, Alves is no loss - they're going to need an actual 4-man back line, not a 3 and a third one. And given Alves' crossing today, that's no loss. Abidal is a loss on the left. Puyol and Pique in the middle, Toure at RB, and I don't know the roster well enough to fill the LB spot, but they must have someone. I'd have no problem with them having 5 players dedicated to defense, and letting the other 5 just attack like mad.<br /><br />ManUre can be had by a team that takes the game to them, and the only certainty is that Barca will do just that...jjf3https://www.blogger.com/profile/04463971119340446760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-35857987240947588942009-05-06T17:36:00.000-04:002009-05-06T17:36:00.000-04:00Michael Ballack is insane.Michael Ballack is <A HREF="http://i39.tinypic.com/2a7a3qv.jpg" REL="nofollow">insane</A>.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00704310493950105726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-32477005930051213072009-05-06T17:01:00.000-04:002009-05-06T17:01:00.000-04:00if that was a "footballing orgamsm," then it was T...if that was a "footballing orgamsm," then it was Tantric... looooongg-awaited then utterly insane!The Likely Ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08662871179552554891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-48121732070491355212009-05-06T17:00:00.000-04:002009-05-06T17:00:00.000-04:00So the only way to appeal is based on mistaken ide...So the only way to appeal is based on mistaken identity. Maybe it's because I can't turn off the lawyering, but a crafty Barca appeal writer could certainly say that it is a case of mistaken identity because nobody made the foul, so saying Abidal fouled Anelka would be assessing the foul to the wrong person.BackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-56262971895109735862009-05-06T16:59:00.000-04:002009-05-06T16:59:00.000-04:00The Ref's wiki page has already been defaced many ...The Ref's wiki page has already been defaced many times.
