yeah but if they beat the press they kill you.  These really good sides can just play in every way and they're too good

Look, football is in a funny moment.  The concentration of good players in the top teams is unlike anything we've seen.  Madrid have an insane team as do 5 or 6 teams right now.  

Our recruitment was too speculative, we needed everyone to go straight away and it's just not happened for half of them.  I know it's early but Markovic looks like a real dud.  Both the fullbacks are a bit iffy, Can is a squad player when we needed another centre midfielder and the Balotelli punt hasn't paid off at all.  

fudgeing hell sometimes I wonder if you eve enjoy football.

Not sure how you get that from that post?

I love football, I maybe enjoy the analytical side more than most.  Watching a side like Madrid tonight I always try and see how we can get to that level.  

I don't know if you have a wife/GF/family, but I do and I find now I can't really let football results affect my general emotional state, too much else to worry about!
