Champions League Thread 2012/13

[Özil's Panoramic View]

3 added mins.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Puyol might have just killed Barca off. Stupid foul.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Then again, I didn't expect a freekick of that shitness.

4-0 Jordi Alba!!!

[Marc Overmars]

Alba!!

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Milan :rose:

[Letters]

4-0

:lol:

[GP]

Barca have been brilliant.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pah! What a load of shit.

[Özim]

:shakeshead:

[Cripps_orig]

Robinho needs to fuck off

Wtf was that free kick?

Enabled Alba to score the tap in

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robinho. :haha:

Why didn't he get it in the mixer?

[PGFC]

Fuck it, if they can make history, so can we.

[Cripps_orig]

Fuck this shit tbh

CL died today

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 4-0 Milan, FT! Barcelona are through!

Well done to them.

[Letters]

Barca have been brilliant.

Pretty much.

Good game

[Marc Overmars]

AC. :lol:

Little bit shit.

Barca too good once again.

[Cripps_orig]

Only Mourinho can save us now.

Come on Real

[GP]

4-0 and with the refs against them,

Superb.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Still a few minutes to go in Schalke's match!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Corner for Schalke.

[Syn]

Good. If the German clubs are going to do it at least they'll have to do it the hard way. There are a couple of other really strong teams in the hat this year so you want them to play the best. Should be a few tasty fixtures in the next rounds.

[Cripps_orig]

Linesman motm?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nothing came from it. :lol:

Two minutes left, I think.

[fakeyank]

Milan pretty much played like Arsenal at the Nou Camp. Allegi mustve got his game plan from Wenger

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Linesman motm?

:haha:

You never quit, do you?

[Marc Overmars]

Barca won't be the only side to come from 2 goals down this week.

[Cripps_orig]

They need to change the rules as well.

Stop all this cup tied shit.

Balotelli would have scored that Niang chance

[Cripps_orig]

:haha:

You never quit, do you?

He attacked well in the first half and defended brilliantly in the second.

A perfect all round game. You and fellow Barca fans must be proud. I would be if I supported them

[Letters]

They need to change the rules as well.

Stop all this cup tied shit.

Balotelli would have scored that Niang chance

:console:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Milan just needed some dickhead like Muntari or George Boateng to athlete-ball his way through. They had a period of good control in Barcelona's half.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schalke 2-3 Galatasaray, Amrabat!

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Schalke :rose:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BFF3giJCQAE8hi1.jpg

Lucky bastard.

[Cripps_orig]

How much would this Yilmaz cost?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thought it was Yilmaz that scored but maybe not.

Sky. :lol:

Even so, Yilmaz has been great.

[Cripps_orig]

:console:

It is a ridiculous rule tbh. Once a player is brought in, he should be allowed to play in whatever game he likes

[Özil's Panoramic View]

They need to change the rules as well.

Stop all this cup tied shit.

Balotelli would have scored that Niang chance

:haha:

Are you serious?

I've seen him bottle easier.

[Marc Overmars]

Good. If the German clubs are going to do it at least they'll have to do it the hard way. There are a couple of other really strong teams in the hat this year so you want them to play the best. Should be a few tasty fixtures in the next rounds.

Yeah I think it's the best year for a while actually.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Galatasaray are through. :bow:

Eboue. :bow:

And Dids. :good:

[Marc Overmars]

Eboue. :lol:

Another one to use Arsenal as a stepping stone.

[Cripps_orig]

:haha:

Are you serious?

I've seen him bottle easier.ive seen lots of strikers miss chances but I along with other football lovers would have preferred to see Balotelli in that position

[Cripps_orig]

Malaga v Porto tomorrow.

What would happen if Malaga went on and won the CL?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Umut Bulut might've scored the winner for Galatasaray according to the BBC. Hell at this rate it might've been Eboue.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Malaga v Porto tomorrow.

What would happen if Malaga went on and won the CL?

Team with the most of their former players takes their place next season.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Malaga v Porto tomorrow.

What would happen if Malaga went on and won the CL?
We appeal to UEFA and go through to the qualifiers.

[Cripps_orig]

Need to get Isco in ASAP

Does he have any French/African blood in him?

[Marc Overmars]

Team with the most of their former players takes their place next season.

:dance:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Roy Keane said he bet 4-0. Must've been his betting slip.

[Niall_Quinn]

Malaga v Porto tomorrow.

What would happen if Malaga went on and won the CL?

There are refs who can prevent such unwanted outcomes.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

ive seen lots of strikers miss chances but I along with other football lovers would have preferred to see Balotelli in that position

Namely....

Anyway, the rule is the rule and I'm sure Milan, and by extension, all other teams in the CL and doing business in January, were all fully cognizant of it.

Plus, I haven't heard any Milan affiliate bemoaning that a cup tied Balotelli was why they were thrashed today.

So you can shelve that moan now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Milan fan on his own with Barca supporters. That must little bit hurt.

[Özim]

Fuck it, if they can make history, so can we.
Biggest beating in CL history?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Let's be honest, Balotelli would've stamped on someone's head in the first leg.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kofi Tawiah Quansah: "Dear Wenger I hope u r watching. That is how to overturn a 2 goal deficit."

Kofi. :bow:

Sod off Chiles, let me dream.

[Niall_Quinn]

Let's be honest, Balotelli would've stamped on someone's head in the first leg.

Indeed. And we were denied that by the stupid cup tie ruling.

[Cripps_orig]

Not using it as an excuse tbh

I said the same shit about cup tied rule last season as well

Anyway just seen Villas goal. Constant :doh:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

I said the same shit about cup tied rule last season as well

Anyway just seen Villas goal. Constant :doh:

Did you also see a replay of Messi's "offside" goal? :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Indeed. And we were denied that by the stupid cup tie ruling.

With Balotelli it might not neccesarily have been a Barca player.

Pepe is still around tbf.

[Cripps_orig]

Did you also see a replay of Messi's "offside" goal? :haha:

Yes...

It was offside. Do you deny it?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Flopped at 2 World Cups. Ok in 2006 he was young and a bit shit so you can excuse him for that but in 2010 where people were laughably calling him the best player in the world, he flopped spectacularly. Add that to constant no shows in the Copa America tournaments, I don't think anyone seriously has a reason to think he's the best other than their hatred for Ronaldo just cos he played for Man Utd. Fortunately I'm a little bit older and wiser than most

Yeah, I think we can put that one to bed now.

[Cripps_orig]

Yeah, I think we can put that one to bed now.

So scoring a tap in and offside goal means he was great at the World Cup and Copa Americas?

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Yes...

It was offside. Do you deny it?

No need to deny, as you're the only person I hear saying/maintaining that it's offside.

[Joker]

IMO he is the greatest tbh, his goal record is simply phenomenal.

[Özim]

There's some decent sides in the competition for the first time in a while, Dortmund, Bayern, Real, Barca, Juventus, PSG.....no real mickey mouse outifts, makes for an exciting competition at last.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

IMO he is the greatest tbh, his goal record is simply phenomenal.

Not sure he's quite there yet.

Has to do it for Argentina before I give him that tag line.

[Özim]

No need to deny, as you're the only person I hear saying/maintaining that it's offside.
Ronaldo's is pretty phenomenal as well to be fair 188 goals in 186 games for Real.

[Özim]

No need to deny, as you're the only person I hear saying/maintaining that it's offside.
I didn't see it but they were saying it was offside on ITV in the post match talk (the 2nd goal they said)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo's is pretty phenomenal as well to be fair 188 goals in 186 games for Real.

It's crazy.

And Messi has 226 from 210 in the same period. :haha:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Ronaldo's is pretty phenomenal as well to be fair 188 goals in 186 games for Real.

True.

Would have been the best of his era weren't it for Messi.

[Özim]

It's crazy.

And Messi has 226 from 210 in the same period. :haha:
Yeah it's pretty incredible, both players have been scoring almost a goal a game which over that period of time is almost unheard of.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

It's crazy.

And Messi has 226 from 210 in the same period. :haha:

Those two are just :wacko:.

We'd extol the virtues of players if that were their goal tallies for an entire career, nevermind some arbitrary date.

[Cripps_orig]

No need to deny, as you're the only person I hear saying/maintaining that it's offside.

Missed the post match coverage on itv?

[Cripps_orig]

True.

Would have been the best of his era weren't it for Messi.

:haha:

Wumming it up I see

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Those two are just :wacko:.

We'd extol the virtues of players if that were their goal tallies for an entire career, nevermind some arbitrary date.

Well Henry scored 226 with us in his first stint, double the time. :wacko:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

:haha:

Wumming it up I see

Good that you can at least spot and have a laugh at one of your vices. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Henry :lol:

But yeah Ronaldo and Messi are beasts. Surely there must be some charity match thingy that can get them both on the same side.

Sign them up for soccer aid or whatever it's called.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Well Henry scored 226 with us in his first stint, double the time. :wacko:
I was just looking at Henry's stats actually.

It's just silly. Inhuman.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Missed the post match coverage on itv?

I'm across the Atlantic.


FSC it is.

[Cripps_orig]

What was Rush and Fowlers records at Liverpool?

[Power n Glory]

Both of the bastards need testing for drugs! :lol:

Fantastic game tonight. Prefer Messi over Ronaldo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henry :lol:

But yeah Ronaldo and Messi are beasts. Surely there must be some charity match thingy that can get them both on the same side.

Sign them up for soccer aid or whatever it's called.

James Corden vs Ronaldo and Messi. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Both of the bastards need testing for drugs! :lol:

Messi is screwed

[Özim]

What was Rush and Fowlers records at Liverpool?
Did any of the others have anything like this appear on tv?


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pieK7b4KLL4

If not Rush is clearly the best.

[Cripps_orig]

I haven't seen milk bottles like those in years

[Marc Overmars]

30-40 goals was considered exceptional and probably about the maximum you'd expect from any world class striker. They've redefined that though and that's what sets them apart.

If they "only" managed that amount next season it would have to be considered poor!

[Özim]

I haven't seen milk bottles like those in years
Yeah I know I haven't seen any bottle for a while either, that's been part of the problem sadly.

They're probably Universe class to be fair, in those terms the amount of goals they score is pretty normal. There's a guy on Uranus that scores every night...or so they say.

[Marc Overmars]

They're also never injured, which is just weird.

[GP]

They're also never injured, which is just weird.

Yeah... weird...

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

What was Rush and Fowlers records at Liverpool?
Off the top of my head I'd say around 1 in 2. But obviously at their peak it was much higher.

Rush's first spell with us probably isn't too dissimilar from Henry's at Arsenal.

[Kano]

Off the top of my head I'd say around 1 in 2. But obviously at their peak it was much higher.

Rush's first spell with us probably isn't too dissimilar from Henry's at Arsenal.
and more decisive than ronaldo in the big games of course.

[Kano]

There's some decent sides in the competition for the first time in a while, Dortmund, Bayern, Real, Barca, Juventus, PSG.....no real mickey mouse outifts, makes for an exciting competition at last.
there are always 5/6 'classic' teams at this stage of the comp.

your main complaint has always been its always the same faces - exactly what is happening yet again.

[Marc Overmars]

I think he means in terms of quality they are a bit closer together this time. Buoyed by the quality of the Germans and maybe Barca not being as inhuman as we've seen in the past.

[Kano]

I think he means in terms of quality they are a bit closer together this time. Buoyed by the quality of the Germans and maybe Barca not being as inhuman as we've seen in the past.
i think the differences are as clear as in the past - in fact i'd place the german teams head and shoulders above both the spanish teams right now with juventus sandwiched inbetween. it doesn't feel any different to any normal year to me - there are still a couple of teams that really stand out on performances and another couple that merit a threat based on reputation.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

@ Cripps... I'm still awaiting proof showing Messi was offside for his 2nd goal.

[Kano]

it was very fast but he was offside - they showed the freeze frame at half time.

half a step ahead when the ball was passed to him, stepped back onside and banged it in.

[GP]

Evens out the stonewall pel they didn't get anyway.

[Cripps_orig]

@ Cripps... I'm still awaiting proof showing Messi was offside for his 2nd goal.

Just watch a replay.

[hobson's choice]

Eboue. :bow:

:bow::bow:

[Letters]

Pretty much. Funny how some of the rabid anti-Barca people on here haven't mentioned that.

[Kano]

i think there's only one on here isn't there?

anyway, fuck both madrid and barca. both absolute massive chundering cünts.

Funnily enough, Arsenal STILL had better odds of winning the damn thing than Galatasaray this morning, in spite of the fact they're a round ahead of us. :woohoo: :crying:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Malaga 1-0 Porto, Isco!

[Cripps_orig]

Biggest Must Get since Reina

Swap with Arteta.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Defour sent off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Malaga 2-0 Porto, Santa Cruz!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Malaga are through!

Three La Liga teams in the draw.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just saw Isco's goal. Bit special tbf.

[GP]

Just saw Isco's goal. Bit special tbf.

Must get

[Cripps_orig]

Dream Real v Bayern final still on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Must get

I concur.

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Dortmund.

Hope they beat Bayern along the way as well and snap Neuer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme is on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ray Wilkins has no idea whatsoever why the English teams have done badly in the Champions League and then proceeds to list reasons why that is.

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Steve McLaren just thinks it has been a bad year. :rolleyes:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Don't be another El Clasico. Not again.

For the semis though, I want Barca, Real, Bayern and Dortmund. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Here we go:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Malaga vs Borussia Dortmund.

:popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid vs Galatasaray. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PSG vs Barcelona. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich vs Juventus.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

There's no semi-final draw for today. I had no idea it was an open draw for the semi's!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

2 mildly decent games, 2 poor games.

The SF draw is on April 12th apparently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three very good ties I reckon. Real Madrid vs Galatasaray the exception.

[Syn]

Think the ties are a forgone conclusion tbh.

The 4 clear top teams kept apart.

Semi finals are going to be awesome.

[GP]

So we all Galatasaray fans?

[Munchies]

Didn't they used to give the SF draw at the same time before ?

[Marc Overmars]

Looking forward to PSG vs Barca the most. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So we all Galatasaray fans?

Dids. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Nani banned for one game

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zlatan can play in the first leg against Barca. Must be some huge ruse designed to help Barca out again.

[Cripps_orig]

It was a ridiculous sending off tbh. One game was too harsh let alone 2

[Cripps_orig]

Tuesday 2nd April 2013
Bayern Munich v Juventus 19:45
Paris SG v Barcelona 19:45

Wednesday 3rd April 2013
Malaga v Bor Dortmund 19:45
Real Madrid v Galatasaray 19:45

Barca match is on ITV :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

According to the SSN drone Barca are 20 points clear in La Liga. :rolleyes:

[Munchies]

Completely forgot about this tonight !

Should be a good set of games

[Cripps_orig]

We all PSG fans?

[Marc Overmars]

I'm hoping PSG win to make the 2nd leg interesting.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rumours Beckham will start. :lol:

Surely not?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's true. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Douchez. :lol:

Cesc. :haha:

Song. :haha:

Sanchez. :doh:

Tito is definitely back then. :bow: for that regardless.

[Marc Overmars]

PSG have a proper Football Manager squad.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme for Bayern Munich vs Juventus is on SS2 in a few minutes.

[Master Splinter]

It will be interesting to see how someone who hasn't played football since 2007 does in a match of this importance.

Barca will likely kill Pea Ess Gee at home even if they struggle tonight.

I think Juventus will come through their tie against Bayern.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Barca.

3-1 Bayern.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Keane, Dixon and Southgate are pitchside.

Straight in to a Beckham VT. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zlatan going on a tour of hugging everyone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Champions League music. :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Good lord, how long has Alves been bleach blonde?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barca's calypso kit. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good lord, how long has Alves been bleach blonde?

Since they got through against Milan. It was for a bet, shockingly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Dani Alves. Booking surely? A long time between the whistle going and sticking it away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 1-0 Juventus, Alaba!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nearly a Barca OG but hits the post!

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Barca's defence. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Or did Lavezzi hit it? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I was right, would've been a Busquets OG.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi. :haha:

Ambitious to say the least.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa nearly in on Iniesta's pass. Not sure standing off players is the best idea from PSG.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tyldesley thinks a cancer recoverer is a sight for sore eyes.

[Globalgunner]

Alves seems to have rediscovered his mojo. Was pants for most of last season but has really got back to being the best rb in europe.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kroos is down injured.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good shot from Pastore, Valdes just about does enough.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta goes for a curler but wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to PSG, dangerous area.

Pique booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's Beckham time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zlatan told Becks to sod off, Valdes saves. Bit of a rocket.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robben came on for Kroos. :lol:

Shot saved by Buffon, probably should've scored.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Surprised Messi didn't whack it there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta shoots, Sirigu saves.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Messi. :haha:

Bit of a pubber thus far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zlatan pulls it across goal.

Lucas Moura. :bow:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Fuck sake Zlatan.

Won't get much of a better chance than that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robben. :haha:

Misses another sitter.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MESSI!!!!

PSG 0-1 Barca.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a pass from Dani Alves though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi cuts inside, only just misses.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PSG 0-1 Barca, HT.

Messi probably injured.

[Marc Overmars]

Brilliant pass from Alves for the goal.

Time for Lucas Moura to come home. He is brilliant, Suarez-like control and movement.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That hair might not be a bad idea after all.

Terrific ball.

[Globalgunner]

Its a blessing to be able to witness Messi and not have to rely on heresay. The boy is just ethereal. If his talent was shared among 5 players they would all be better than anyone currently playing for Wengers team.

[Cripps_orig]

Or we can give them the drugs he used

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi off, Cesc on.

Cesc can't really afford to have a mare here.

[GP]

Time for Cesc to come home tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not the best start from Cesc really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Busquets shoots, Sirigu saves.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Ibra needs to do the right thing and kick Mascherano in the face.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Cesc. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two fuck ups in quick succession from Iniesta there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves doing a Eboue there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zlatan. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jordi Alba booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez. :haha:

FFS every single game.

[GP]

Sanchez :doh:

He is terrible

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Better from Sanchez this time, didn't catch it cleanly but at least it was an effort on target.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 2-0 Juventus, Muller!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lavezzi off, Menez on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Matudi booked and will miss the next match.

Bayern's second should've have stood.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez wins a freekick after running about like a headless chicken.

Saint Becks is booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not a bad effort from Dani Alves. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Beckham hauled off, Verratti on.

[GP]

Well and truly hauled off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maxwell shoots near post, Valdes saves. Going wide anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Barca, dangerous area.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That was 6 years ago!

Jesus.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deflected from Xavi for a corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was 6 years ago!

Jesus.

That second leg must've been the ultimate shit your pants time when Gudjohnsen scored.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mascherano gets his customary booking. Suspended for the next match.

Song at CB quite possibly at the Camp Nou.

Dani Alves injured.

Barca. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pastore off, Gameiro on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes smothers to deny Zlatan!

Two Barca players down on the ground.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That second leg must've been the ultimate shit your pants time when Gudjohnsen scored.
He has a knack of doing that against us.

I'm still only just recovering from his miss in 2005.

[GP]

Getting a bit ragged

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Utterly stupid from Sirigu there.

Sanchez was going no where.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He must've known it was Sanchez. Sanchez doesn't do anything.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Sanchez knew what he was doing there. Obviously.

The touch almost went out the ground.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Zlatan, offside spotted this time.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Valdes. :haha:

That was dire stuff.

[Marc Overmars]

PSG. :bow:

Pubbed it but a good effort anyway.

They'll still be killed next week mind.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Bit of exoneration for Valdes. Ball did take a deflection.

[Injury Time]

Um commentator after 2nd Barca goal said "PSG game over as need to win at Barca"...after PSG. 2nd goal "they were back in the game"... Pretty sure they still need to win at Barca :blink:

Oh and Chiles just shut up you cock.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chiles doing Champions League football is just so wrong.

[Munchies]

Valdes looked like his soul was being taken from him haha
