Matchday 7: Stuttgart vs Barcelona

[Emilfu]

And im down 200 £ because we didnt win.

I had Bordeaux to win with exactly 1 goal, Man utd to win with atleast 3, and Benfica to win with atleast 3 goals.

Betting is a waste of money. You might as well give your money away. less trauma.

And yet im up with a total of over 700£ so far in 2010 alone. Its okay, considering I started with less than 50£

Not a bad result. I'm sure we can win this easily at Camp Nou. No worries.

We should be happy with the result tonight. Hopefully Ibra's goal will be as inspiring as Henry's diving header against Lyon last year. We've got Malaga (H), Almeria (A), and Valencia (H) before the return leg. Plenty of time to get back on form with two relatively lesser opponents before Los Che come to the Camp Nou. Barring any injuries, we should be approximating our collective best by that time.
There were lots of poor performances tonight, but I thought Messi was particularly crappy. Although his job is to score goals and disrupt the defensive balance of the opposition by drawing extra markers, his defensive effort was sub-par. I expected more of him and he is one of the reasons that Stuttgart ran riot down the flanks.

by looking at the display we had today, I think a draw is a good result. We're lucky that after their goal, they defended the whole game. Our defence was completely torn apart in the 1st half, but good thing the defenders fixed some of their mistakes in the 2nd half.

My dominant impressions of the game were that team is really missing Alves and that Pep really screwed up by moving Iniesta to the wing and playing Yaya & Busquets at the same time.

One day to go. Our first proper test this season.

It's crunch time.
