I swear I thought Stuttgart would pull it off until I saw Messi shot like that, at that moment I instantly thought "nvm, barca wont lose".
Yeah, Stuttgart really should have got a second goal in that first half and made it very interesting. A score draw away for Barcelona is a very good result and I think they'll win comfortably at the Nou Camp.
Good performance from Manchester United - Rooney, Valencia, Berbatov, and Scholes especially. Man Utd 3-0 West Ham with Rooney scoring two and Owen scoring one. Berbatov and Valencia were both involved in the Rooney goals, which were two very well taken headers, and Scholes slipped Owen through for the third.
Chelsea vs Man City could be interesting on the weekend.

UEFA, fuck you
This must be the most obvious evidence that Barcelona is the little pet of the UEFA. First that semi-final aginst Chelsea, now this against Stuttgart. Stuttgart deserved a penalty(handbal) and that so called goal of Barcelona was an offside goal. I have no words for this disgrace.

Sorry for my mistake (Barça visited Stuttgart).
Europa League/UEFA Cup.
Juventus-Ajax
In Amsterdam Juve won with 1-2, but not deserved. Barring the Ajax goal, most shots were just missed, hit the pole. Very much bad luck. Ajax deserved two penalty's, but the referee was biased in adventage of Juventus so he didn't give them. With some less bad luck, Ajax would've won with 4-2 (if the poleshots were in, discounting the ungiven penalty's). In the game in Turin, Luis Suárez (best Ajax player, wanted by Juventus, Fehnerbahçe, Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, AC Milan, FC Barcelona, Hamburger SV, Werder Bremen, Manchester City and Sporting Lissabon, bids in the winter transfer time varying between 50.000.000 Euro and 200.000.000 Euro, Ajax is very dependant on him, he is a right winger and can also be left winger or central striker, scored 24 goals in 24 games in the Eredivisie) is suspended: His fatal yellow card in Amsterdam for talking to the referee because the referee wasn't fair.
In Amsterdam, Ajax missed Marko Pantelic, who was ill. Marko Pantelic is a cemntral striker and a very good one. Bundesliga-fans might know him: Last season he was playing for Hertha BSC and did very well. He always played there unless he was injured, just like now for Ajax. He is back and ready to play.
Ajax had a good match before Juventus: Sunday 21 February 2010 Ajax-Vitesse 4-0. Six poleshots from Suárez who scored once, goood assists from Pantelic who returned from his illness so a good match. Vitesse totally outplayed. They had no chances and only one Vitesse-player did well: The keeper. With the average Eredivisie-keeper (Eredivisie-keepers are quite good) in the Vitesse-goal and some more luck it would've been 8-0.
Is Ajax without Luis Suárez chanceless against Juventus, who got a lucky 2-1 win in their match Sunday.
Ajax is a top team, but one thing holds them back: Bad luck, referees against Ajax. In Holland, all fans of other teams hate Ajax the most. Most referees are against Ajax, just like the KNVB (Dutch football association, the head is from Enschede and a big fan of FC Twente, FC Twente and Ajax are batling in the Eredivisie for the second place, which means Champions League prerounds. Third=Europa League). For all games when Ajax visits a topclub, the referee is Pieter Vink, who is a fan of Feyenoord (the earth rival of Ajax) and always makes desicions in favor of the opponent. All crucial games (PSV-Ajax, Twnete-Ajax and Feyenoord-Ajax) are led by him, to make Ajax lose. In all of those Ajax was better, but Ajax lost to PSV (4-3 for PSV, hands goal and offsidegoal counted, Ajax deserved two ungiven penalty's and PSV shopuld've played with 10 from minute 25 but it was only a yellow card) and Twente (a penalty not given and the Twentegoal was offside. Two good not offside AJax goals were discounted which led to a 1-0 win for Twente). Feyenoord-Ajax was 1-1, Ajax deserved two penalty's and didn't get even one. Feyenoord-supporters can thank that referee because they had an undeserved point.
Ajax won at home with 3-0 from Twente, bu it should've been 4-0, a goal from Suárez was unrightfully discounted (offside, but it wasn't). The referee wanted to avoid trouble for Twente as much as possible.
If the KNVB and the referees were impartial and fair, Ajax would be #1 in the Eredivisie right now. Now Ajax is third.
PSV and Twente always win with 1-0 in the last minute when the opponent is better: They often have more luck.
The KNVB is much worse than the UEFA.

I just laugh so hard when all of those that support a team just create stupid excuses like ''the referees hate my team'', it's so fucking childish, just suck it up your team lost. The referee or the UEFA don't like a team more than another.
Looking forward to Manchester City - Chelsea. Seems like a good match, hoping Chelsea gets the better out of it.

No-ones commenting on the real football today. :(
Milan got their game in hand out off the way and came from one nil down to win 2-1 in a tough away match against Fiorentina, which puts them just four points behind Inter in the race for the Scudetto. I wouldn't usually post about Serie A as no-one else seems to follow it but Manchester fans might be interested in the resilience Milan showed, as well as Ronaldinho's sheer skill to get two assists, after Leonardo had the sense to drop Beckham and Dida.
Also, Villa were comfortable for the entire match against C Palace but after going ahead due to a corner that shouldn't have been awarded (more fines for Neil Warnock), Stephen Warnock decided to bumble around and help his dad out by giving away a cheap penalty which made it one each. Then John Carew (who's bigger then me and you) got fouled twice and thumped in to penaltys in the last few minutes to give Villa the win that they deserved. The League Cup final should be fun if Heskey doesn't play. Hopefully SAF will go mad and start with Owen and Berbatov up front.
also fuck inter

I enjoyed the match, i laughed at Drogba thinking he could bully Samuel around and just bouncing off him.
Not that I get happy with other's injuries, but I'm happy one of the best keepers in the league will get his chance on the 11, now :)
