Champions League Thread 2012/13

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a waste from Cesc.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adriano booked. He'll miss the next match.

[GP]

Lucas Moura is great.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zlatant smacks the wall and then runs it out when he gets it back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi having a tug. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 0-0 PSG, HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juventus 0-0 Bayern Munich, HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2032: Job done at the break for Bayern Munich and Bayern Munich then. Much to do for Juventus and PSG.

BBC. :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Shite first half.

I would turn over to Juve-Bayern but that tie seems dead.

[Marc Overmars]

Also, I think this is the first time I've ever seen Barca without Messi.

No real spark.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Maybe Barca are a one man team afterall :ninja:

​Ignoring the 5-0 win at the weekend obviously

[Cripps_orig]

Iniesta truly is awful

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant defending by Jordi Alba.

[Marc Overmars]

Maybe Barca are a one man team afterall :ninja:

​Ignoring the 5-0 win at the weekend obviously

cripps woz rite

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They could do without Cesc sending things sky high.

[Cripps_orig]

cripps woz rite

I hate being right

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good effort by Quagliarella.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 0-1 PSG, Pastore!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Here comes Messi. :lol:

[Özim]

PSG!!!!!!!

1-0!!!!

VIVE LA FRANCE!

[Marc Overmars]

PSG. :rose:

Messi to score a hatty.

[Power n Glory]

Viva la France!

[Cripps_orig]

Barca worst best team in the world ever?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

It would be nice to see someone different get through to the semis for once.

Even if that team is yet another Arabian plaything.

[Özim]

Hamstrings warming up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2056: West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle: "Was sleeping with one eye open...that goal opened the other!! Paris St-Germain you beauty!"


Gayle. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pastore. :haha:

Just dropped the Ashes.

Robben hits the post!

[GP]

Pastore :doh:

[Özim]

The problem has always been with Barcelona that they are too one dimensional, they have one way of playing and if that doesn't work they have no backup plan. Chelsea have shown this a few times, when the tippy tappy doesn't work they seem to lack any ideas.

[Cripps_orig]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves. :haha:

Just lean forward!

[GP]

Alves :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adriano off, Bartra on.

Cesc hauled off, One Leg Messi on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh dear Messi.

Great stuff from Iniesta.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juventus 0-1 Bayern Munich, Mandzukic!

[GP]

Barca piling on the pressure.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes just gets there ahead of Zlatan.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-1 PSG, PEDRO!!!

[GP]

PEDROOOOOO!!!

Goal!

[Power n Glory]

The fuckers!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi involved, of course. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Oh fuck off

[GP]

:bow:

[Özim]

The fuckers!!
:goodpost:

[Maestro]

khunts

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi the manager. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pastore's head has gone to pieces.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa's head is at the Emirates.

[Cripps_orig]

Barca through then.

Plus points are the likes of iniesta and Xavi have proven they are horrific

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lavezzi booked, he misses the next match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lavezzi off, Gameiro on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stop the press, Becks is coming on!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Iain Macintosh ‏@iainmacintosh 37s
If it hadn't been for Barca-funded growth hormones, Lionel Messi would now be a tiny chimney sweep in Rosario, entering homes via catflaps.

:haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Come on Becks

The world needs you

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa off, Song on. :lol:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

:lol: song

awful bong.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Becks fooled by Old Man Xavi.

Thiago Silva booked, gives Messi a good kicking.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great turn from Iniesta, not sure why he went for the shot though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jallet off, Van Der Wiel on.

[GP]

Almost brilliant by Iniesta

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pique nearly brought it all crashing down. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Becks booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juventus 0-2 Bayern Munich, Pizarro!

Juve. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes thought about it. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That should be that now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sirigu upfield. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 FT, Barca make it through for a sixth CL semi-final in a row!

PSG. :haha:

Money well spent.

[GP]

Barca are through

Paris Sand Germain :pal:

[Marc Overmars]

I don't think Barca were very good by their standards.

Hope they get Dortmund in the semis and are killed.

All German final. :pray:

[Power n Glory]

Bunch of motherfukers!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Who?

Us?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi. :lol:

What a freak.

[Globalgunner]

On the basis of today's performance barca will get smashed by any of trhe other 3 teams left in it. Pique looks like Shakira has stolen his mojo. played like an old woman throughout. How any team expects to win a cup tournament effectively with 10 midfielders i dont know. If they get Madrid. they will get murdered. I must say their defending is even worse than ours. Shambolic.

Cripps. I dont know what your problem with Messi is. Even Ronaldo`s mum knows Messi is the better player.

I have the same problem with Messi I have with Lance Armstrong.

[Globalgunner]

I have the same problem with Messi I have with Lance Armstrong.
Lets put it this way. Suppose you had a lisp or were born with a cleft palate and a doctor fixed you. You then went on to become a famous opera singer or POP musician. Would it be fair for someone to begrudge the operation done when you were a toddler.

There is no comparing Messi with a cheat like Armstrong

Neither of them will fuck you?

What a **** Mourinho is :rolleyes:

Best manager in the world as well as a brilliant person.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Champions League draw is on soon. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/66964000/jpg/_66964549_championsleague12.jpg

:lol:

UEFA against corruption. :ninja:

[Marc Overmars]

Is there something else going on during this event? The draw will take 30 seconds. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think for once, it's just the draw and not much else. Europa League Draw is supposed to be at 11:15.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They're doing the Europa League first by the looks of it. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Here we go. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lizarazu. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich vs Barcelona.

Wow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid.

[GP]

So we get the all german final that everyone wanted.

[Marc Overmars]

Germans. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Real v Bayern final :popcorn:

2 best teams in the world.

Feel sorry for Dortmund but hopefully they get thrashed, Klopp is sacked cos of the humiliation and he comes home

[Özil's Panoramic View]

And to think it was those Munich bottle wankers that gave way to the manc treble in 99 and allowed the chavs to blunder their way to ECL glory.

Come on Dortmund.

[Cripps_orig]

Possibly the last time Bayern will be universally backed as well.

Can't see them being supported in the final v Real or Dortmund and of course that **** of an average manager takes over next season so they will be hated

[Cripps_orig]

http://www.goal.com/en/news/article?contentId=3920230

Laporta has done well to pick one of his minions

[Cripps_orig]

Tuesday 23rd April 2013
Bayern Munich v Barcelona 19:45

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi will be fit apparently.

:popcorn:

[Marc Overmars]

I reckon Madrid will beat Dortmund but this tie is so hard to call.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I've predicted a Barca - Dortmund final.

[GP]

I've predicted a Barca - Dortmund final.

I think that's what every neutral wants.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I just want Dortmund to win it.

Don't really care who they have to beat to do it...

As for tonight; 2-1 Barca.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gotze scoring a last minute winner against Bayern in the final would be funny.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mario Gomez is up front for Bayern. :lol:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Cesc. :haha:

Warming the bench for this.

[GP]

Mario Gomez is up front for Bayern. :lol:

You mean he starts in defence for Barca?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol: Yeah I suppose so.

They need him probably.

Bayern Munich: Neuer, Lahm, Boateng, Dante, Alaba, Javi Martinez, Schweinsteiger, Robben, Muller, Ribery, Gomez.
Subs: Starke, Van Buyten, Shaqiri, Rafinha, Pizarro, Gustavo, Tymoschuk.

Barcelona: Valdes, Dani Alves, Pique, Bartra, Jordi Alba, Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta, Sanchez, Messi, Pedro.
Subs: Pinto, Fabregas, Villa, Thiago, Montoya, Abidal, Song.

Referee: Viktor Kassai (Hungary)

Ed Stark on the bench. :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Is Mario Gomez the most likely one to be off in the summer? Especially if Lewandowski does join.

No doubt linked with Chelsea, City and United, along with Falcao and Big Andy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm not sure, they might keep him on and get rid of one the other perennial benchers (Pizarro is an Old Man now after all). Robben is very likely to leave I think.

[Marc Overmars]

I wonder who else Pep is planning on bringing in because there could soon be a 'no Bayern' rule on FIFA, along with Barca and Madrid.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez quite possibly (not that it means he will go). We're obviously not looking at unknowns after the Gotze announcement.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ITV's programme is on in a minute.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chiles gets to go to Munich on a midweek jolly.

Just not fair.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southgate, Dixon and Keane are pitchside.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pique has shaved his hair. :lol:

Won't stop the herp derps.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Germans :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wish they weren't pitchside, wouldn't have to put up with Chiles shouting then.

Champions League music. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

10 seconds in, ITV's timer has gone. :lol:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Tony Gale is co-commentator on the FSC feed. :ilt:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robben shoots, Valdes saves!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sexy turn from Xavi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pique. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The pitch is soaking. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Hoping for a 5-5 with ten red cards and a repeat in the second leg.

Dortmund, after cruising past Real Madrid, will then have easy pickings in the final.

With Gotze dropped to the bench for the final, obviously.

Basically, come on BVB.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Pique looks like Lex Luthor.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi's first involvement, passes it straight to Dante.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pique header, wide.

Bayern are funny at setpieces.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sort your life out Pique.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro defended very well there.

[Cripps_orig]

We all Bayern fans?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lahm shoots, Max Payne blocks. Pelanty appeal, nothing given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muller hits it on the volley, near post save from Valdes.

It did hit Pique's arm before that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant pass from Schweinsteiger.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robben. :haha:

Dear god.

[Master Splinter]

We all Dortmund fans?

Pretty much.

Literally no-one wants one of the other three thunder**** teams to win this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bartra. :lol:

Jordi Alba saves his arse from anything coming of it.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Biscuits. :haha:

Really a drab affair this between two supposedly top, top teams.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 1-0 Barcelona, Muller!

[Marc Overmars]

Muller!

[Master Splinter]

Valdes deflects Muller's header into the Corner.

Sorry.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Muller heads it into the Corner.

Sorry.

You should be.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant interception from Dante. Well, sliding tackle on the ball really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Greedy Balding Twat. :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Greedy Balding Twat. :bow:

That's no way to talk about Letters.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Huge appeal for a pelanty again from Bayern. Nothing given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mario Gomez booked. :lol:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Gomez booked for trying to maul Messi.

[Marc Overmars]

Messi getting clattered whenever on the ball. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Couple of questions

Is it embarrassing for Barca that the best Spanish player on the pitch is a Bayern player?

How long will iniesta live off the World Cup final goal? He is horrific

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bartra booked.

[GP]

Gomes is an oaf

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jordi Alba nearly there on to Messi's pass.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Messi's been woeful.

Time for cesc.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 1-0 Barcelona, HT.

[Marc Overmars]

Boring game but Bayern have shaded it so far.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Bayern capitalizing on their physicality that half.

Spanish midgets. :lol:

[Rors]

Give up Adrian...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If only.

I they were going to get rid of him I guess they would have done it a while ago. :(

[Rors]

At least three more years...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wonderful.

Also, second half is on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Javi Martinez booked.

:popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta was onside, not that I think he was going to get to it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 2-0 Barcelona, Mario Gomez. :doh:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:popcorn:

Well there's my prediction gone...

[Marc Overmars]

Gomez!!

[Cripps_orig]

Gomezzzz

Tis guy is awesome

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Offside too. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Looked offside. :lol:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Barca. :haha:

They are woeful aerially.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Ribery :lol:

Tries to shoulder charge Pique. Bounces off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muller shoots, drags it wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ribery clears one.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Have Barca managed a shot on goal as yet? I can't recall an attempt.

[Marc Overmars]

Messi. :lol:

Send him to the glue factory.

[Marc Overmars]

Bayern are a more polished version of Stoke.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Robben is undoubtably a perennial bottler.

[Cripps_orig]

End of this bartra pub teamers Barca career?

[Marc Overmars]

Selfless balding twat?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scuffer of a cross from Jordi Alba.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez. :lol:

Why is he on?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That fan. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ribery has had a Robben.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Sanchez. :haha:

Barca as good as a man down with him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible shot from Bartra!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mario Gomez off, Gustavo on.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

We need a coach like Heynkes who'll apply tactics according to opposition.

Must get now that Pep's taking over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 3-0 Barcelona, Robben. :o

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Letters has been brilliant.

[Marc Overmars]

Robben!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was a blatant foul on Jordi Alba. :lol:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Robben!!!

Utter shit but scores a most awesome goal here.

[Özim]

Tits team getting a pasting.

[Özim]

Bayern vs Real Madrid looking good!

[GP]

:lol:

Once again the referees are against Barca.

[Marc Overmars]

German Kuyt fouled Alba. :lol:

[Globalgunner]

These are the games where it is plain for all to see that Valdes is crap

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bartra. :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Bartra. :lol:

What was that?

[Özim]

These are the games where it is plain for all to see that Valdes is crap
Never rated him to be honest, they've not needed him that much and thus made him look good but when he's needed rarely does he save them.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I just hope tomorrow's SF sets up the second leg nicely, so there's something to watch next week. Nothing worse than a second leg that's already been won...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes saves from Muller.

Muller is injured.

[Marc Overmars]

Barca have been awful. Probably the worst I've seen them play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 4-0 Barcelona, Muller. :doh:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

They're getting paddled.

[Cripps_orig]

4-0

:haha:

[Marc Overmars]

MULLER!!!

[Özim]

FOOOOOOUUUUUUR NILLLLL :lol:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Oh dear.

Barca. :haha:

[GP]

We won 2-0 here...

[Globalgunner]

Game over. No point showing up for the next leg. Roll on tomorrow.

[Cripps_orig]

Bayern vs Real Madrid looking good!

Tis the final the world wants to see and I like Dortmund as well

[Özim]

Bye bye Barca, the final every neutral wants to see is on. Now Real need to complete the task.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro off, David Villa on.

Bit late maybe.

Why is Sanchez still on? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bye bye Barca, the final every neutral wants to see is on. Now Real need to complete the task.

:lol:

No.

[Özim]

Tis the final the world wants to see and I like Dortmund as well
Spot on, looking forward to it.

[Cripps_orig]

Also the 3rd goal was brilliant.

The so called best player ever was left n his drug filled arse as Bayern countered

[Özim]

:lol:

No.
I want to see it and I'm neutral. :lol:

[Özim]

Barca have no answers.

[Özim]

Robben has been great, worked so hard, scored the goal. Respect to the guy.

[Cripps_orig]

How old is robben?

Cheeky bid?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I want to see it and I'm neutral. :lol:

You aren't everyone though.

[Marc Overmars]

Robben has gone mental.

[Özim]

How old is robben?

Cheeky bid?
Would love him to come over, can't see it ever happening sadly.

Remember when he played for Chelsea, he was dazzlingly good.

[Özim]

You aren't everyone though.
True but you'll never get everyone wanting the same final.

[Cripps_orig]

Would love him to come over, can't see it ever happening sadly.

Remember when he played for Chelsea, he was dazzlingly good.

Pretty much.

Been a fan ever since. Bought him for arsenal from Groningen whatever in championship manager.

Brilliant player

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jordi Alba. :lol:

Booked and will miss the second leg.

[Marc Overmars]

Alba. :lol:

What a dick.

[Özim]

Wouldn't mind us gettign Shaquiri, doesn't play that much and is quality.

Barca are now turning to petulance now that they're getting thrashed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

True but you'll never get everyone wanting the same final.

Best not to make generalisations then. :ninja:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

They're cracking up!

[Cripps_orig]

Alba should be off

Laporta does it again.

Saying that, he misses the 2nd leg

[Globalgunner]

Would love him to come over, can't see it ever happening sadly.

Remember when he played for Chelsea, he was dazzlingly good.

Not the same player i`m afraid. Now he`s a bottling diving POS

[Cripps_orig]

Iniesta :haha:

I love being right

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Not the same player i`m afraid. Now he`s a bottling diving POS

This^

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 FT.

[Özim]

4-0 FT

Barca's glory days are over.

[GP]

All German final then :pray:

[Cripps_orig]

4-0 FT

:haha:

Astonvillasupernova or whatever the Barca **** managers name is :wave:

Messi :haha:

Let the myth be ended now

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

When was the last time they were beaten this heavily?

[Özim]

Cheesy German music playing now, the perfect end to the perfect night for them.

[Özim]

Now for a good Real win tomorrow to setup a great final.

[Cripps_orig]

Bayern have dominated in Germany.

last thing we want is an all German final where Bayern will win piss easy by 4 or 5

Only Jose and Real can save us from that

[Cripps_orig]

When was the last time they were beaten this heavily?

Didn't Real beat them by 4 recently?

Last season I think

[Marc Overmars]

What a result. :haha:

I did have a feeling Bayern would take this but you can just never doubt Barca's quality, so I wasn't sure.

Bayern got on top of them physically and Barca didn't look up for it at all. A couple of dodgy goals in there tbf but on the balance of play it was deserved, Barca's best chances fell to some pub team centre back which says it all really.

Germans. :bow:

Their time has come.

[Cripps_orig]

Couple of dodgy goals?

Gomez was offside. What's the other?

[Cripps_orig]

Chances of a neutral getting a ticket for the final?

[Ollie the Optimist]

To think, the only team to beat bayern since October 2012, is us. At their ground, 2-0.


After today, just shows how good a result that was

[Özim]

No.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Gomez was offside. What's the other?

Clear foul on Alba by Muller for the Robben goal.

Still, bloody awesome seeing those ****s getting a bit shafted and routed.

Officials. :bow:

Germans. :bow:
