Just done it again. Great header, great ball in. I wonder if we're checking this bloke out.

Hulk's spectacular when he gets it right but he has no brain. We'd hate him, if he played for us.

Falcao is the best finisher with his head I've seen in the last few years. You can never be sure with these kind of players of course but 70 odd goals in 80 odd games including breaking Kilnsman's record in the UEFA suggests he's got something.

We could have won it but it's probably better we didn't try as we would have had all that 'tired' shite & maybe ended up with nothing. Balo may have saved our season.

No doubt. In fact, the last one I remember being under 6ft & this good or close is Ivan Zamorano.

Been exciting game so far. And to think some people call it mickey mouse competition. I would've loved us to be there...... although I'm not greedy.... I settle for FA Cup.

Also that Villas-Boas bloke seems like a complete nutter.

Some of Hulk's touches are superb but he's a complete twat.

The way porto played we would have smashed them. Oh well bigger fish to fry next season.

He probably does have something but seeing as we don't put crosses into the box there's no point in us signing him.

Also, we would have battered either of those finalists

You're underestimating Porto here. This team ran away with the Portuguese championship and have won a ton of games doing it, twenty points and 27 goals better than Benfica in second. They could do the double, make that the treble now. They got to the Europa final with away wins in Moscow and Seville and smashed someone (Villareal?) 5-1 away in the semi to get there. Their star is rising as surely as City's. The manager is Mourinho's pupil, only 33, and he's going to take them far.
