That's not too bad a qualifying group Sweden have there Orm. Should be no problem finishing in the top two?

It should be no problem but I am sure that it will be difficult. We have a team that give away goals way to easy.

Zlatan is fantastic.
PSG without Zlatan is a boring team, with him PSG wins with a rate of +80% and there is spectacular action.
Bingo for him, with his goal in the 24th minute for Sweden, he has scored at every minute of a match.

Mwahahahahahahaha

"Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini lays into Chelsea [aka Mourinho] parking the bus again claiming it was like playing 'a [Mourinho's] small team'"

Didn't I say something similar (in fact I used exactly these same words) months ago?

Great minds think alike eh?

If you're a Chelsea fan what's the problem? City were at home, it was their job to stop Chelsea scoring and to break down the Chelsea defence. They failed in the former and just managed the latter towards the end to avoid defeat.

So Chelsea come away from the Etihad - almost certainly their toughest fixture of the season with a point. Advantage Mourinho.

Pellegrini is a sore loser, indeed

You should never bash your colleagues... oh well, this, Mourinho did hundreds of times so serves him right

And yes, that 1 - 1 is a Chelsea victory. Top of the league, they survived a big squad. Period.

As I have not had the opportunity to watch the Spurs for a while now a explanation why it is so would be appreciated.

The Spurs team is full of the same player.

There is no tempo, no slick passing, no taking players on, the defence is guaranteed to make numerous mistakes every game - its just dull

I am sure that they have a better attitude than AIK. I can't imagine worse. I just can't.

Russia at home so a win is needed to have a chance to win the group.

Sweden qualified for the European Under-21 Championship.

This by winning the return match, against France, with 4-1 after losing the first match with 2-0. The qualifying goal was made just 2 minutes before full time.

Just seen Erik Lamela score an absolutely incredible goal.....

The commentators were saying how great a strike it was - and I thought they were being somewhat over the top. It was a good, curling shot from just outside the box - but nothing more. Then they kept showing replay after replay - still the commentators were waxing lyrical.... strange.....

...then, at about the 8th replay - from another angle - I understood what they had seen and what was so special.

Lamela was side on to the goal and seemingly about to curl the ball with his right foot. No. He somehow stepped over the ball with his right foot and struck it with his left!! How the hell did he get such power, curl and precision with his left foot planted on the floor and his right leg over the ball????

Astonishing

You could have used the 'bump' by telling us how you liked the match and if a draw was fair.

No I couldn't. After the Spurs result just before I was in no mood to watch $%^&ing football. I may have mentioned before, but football is a stupid game...
