If your playing with and against other World Class Players, in the best league in the world and holding your own, and don´t go down in flames. Then you are obviously world class. But I get your point.
On another point, watching that 4th goal from Arsenal I find it amazing how fast Theo Walcott moves, ok everyone knows he´s fast. But here it comes more apparent, as if the video´s been fast forwarded where he is, he glides over the pitch. When he slows down to make the pass, the Liverpool player is still having trouble catching up. Just hope he doesn´t suffer the injury woes of other players who have had similar pace, due to overzealous panic fouling. For Englands sake

first of all, which one of the villa or sunderland defenders are world class? second, even if they were that good simply not going down in flames against a world class team does not make you as good as them.
yes, he scored a great goal and played in the premier league for half a game, but if that for you makes him world class then you're grasp on the term is way off.

Spurs 2-up against the ol' Red Devils! Good stuff. That Modric...he's real world-class.
😱
Come on the Devils.
Seriously though I haven't seen the game yet cause I was in work today. I heard on the radio on the way home that Spurs were miles better in the first half and Utd only turned things around when they got what the radio people said was a controversial pen
Bayern Munich have sacked Klinsmann, sad that they don´t give coaches a chance to build a team. Instead they want immediate results, which is a bit daft really.
Anyone who has seen Bayern play can see that Ribery is the main creative player, when he isn´t on form they play crap. Its not the Coaches fault, its the player quality.
Its also a different system than say in the Uk where the Manager coaches the team and buys the players, in Germany and some other coutnries the coach gets the team the management decide to buy and has to make it work
It was funny watching Chelsea play against Barcelona like a League One team in a cup game against a Premier League club. Funny, but also boring. They didn't even try to pass the ball! As soon as they got it, they just launched it as high as they could! I hope Barcelona beat them at the Bridge. Xavi and Iniesta looked about 12 times better than Stevie G and Lampard, and Toure did an Essien on Essien!

Unfortunately strategy might come out on top and see Chelsea going through with a late goal from a corner or penalties
I hope not. I despise chelsea and hope Barcelona destroy them in the 2nd leg. Hopefully chelsea will be more attack minded at stamford bridge leaving them more susceptible to Barcelona's very potent attack.
Yeh I think that might be the case, although Guss is a tactical genius maybe he´ll have something up his sleeve.
Has anyone seen Arsenal? definitely didn´t turn up for the game last night.
Dunno if it was because Man U are that much better a team, or Wengers strategy was wrong, long balls up front isn´t normally the Arsenal way and isn´t very effective with Ferdinand and vidic on the field. They also took to long to attack after winning the ball, as if they had taken sleeping pills.
Could be a different story at the Emirates though, and Man U might regret not scoring more than 1 goal.
Man united are looking very impressive at the mo.
Hopefully Barcelona will make the final, that way it´d be a more attractive game. Can´t see another Man U V Chelsea game being exciting, the teams know each other too well.
I like the way Barcelona play, really like the way they play in fact. That is Football the way it should be played.
