I watched none of them, was watching Real Madrid so I can't really opine but as far as City refers, it's not that Napoli had any bigger experience either in this kind of competition. I'll blame Mancini. I always do

Seems that Shaqiri will join Atletico Madrid in January if they are able to send Reyes to Istanbul.

Hey, Fergie.

How about buying decent defenders and a good midfielder? Smalling is...well, I'll leave it at that, while Ferdinand and Giggs are way too veteran to rely completely on them. o_0 Heck, we would be incredibly dependant on Scholes if he was still there.

Oh Chicharito, how much did we miss your freak goals today.

Can't say I'm surprised with Manchester City. Their campaign was slow off the mark thanks to them not having much experience on the European stage, and they had a brutal group to contend with. Think they'll be a force in Europe next year, though, if their current league form is anything to go by. :3

As for United... *shrugs* The English commentators here were talking down Basel and calling them lucky, but I thought they played a good game. And Manchester United were pretty complacent, and poor in front of goal. It's always a shame to see a classic team take a tumble, but the fact that they were even struggling in a group where their main rivals were a good but not great Benfica side and the Swiss champions says a lot about the inexperience of some of their young players. I feel sorry for some of the teams in the Europa League who thought they were in with a chance, though. Now they have one of the biggest clubs in the world and one of the richest clubs in the world thrown into the mix. :'D

Also, Shaqiri looked classy as always. Hard to believe he's only just turned twenty being that he outshone more experienced players on both sides. I think it's only a matter of time 'til he gets his big move. :3

Meh, I think people are being a bit nice on City, what with talking about how hard the group looked and whatnot. What were they, third or fourth seeded? That's what you get. It's sort of a shame City didn't clinch the second place though; Arsenal could get Napoli now.

Eh he he, United really are quite silly. Losing that 2-0 advantage against Basel at OT might seem a bit costly at the moment.

Cheating (it must've been, no? Just saw Ajax disallowed goals...) aside, did you guys see Vito? WIEEEEEEEEEEE, what a guy.

So, every one of our four fullbacks are injured. Seriously. Playing with four CBs and still being unable to score from set pieces = the Arsenal way. ^_____^

Even I feel bad for Sydney Crosby...

Add to this one injured and one suspended CB.

So, Henry is back. ^_________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____^

He was always a nobody in the French Squad, but was a fucking beast in Arsenal. Why he moved to Barcelona still boggles my mind.

Also, I'm not still decided if I'm more happy or sad to see my all-time favourite English footballer maybe coming out of retirement to help the sinking ship that United has become this season.

Playoffs?

I know I'm ready.

Happy with the result in the derby. Not talking about the City vs Utd in the FA Cup.

Español 1 - Barça 1

[Gypsy]

Too funny. So many yellows and so little possession but yet a draw.

At least United didn't get any Super Mario goals, I hate that son of a bitch.

[Yubson]

Can't wait to see Henry's performance against Leeds tonight in FA cup.

Go Gunners

I'm aware you aren't referring to him obviously.

Edit: Best moment of my life.
