Champions League Thread 2012/13

[Marc Overmars]

Don't think we'll ever see things like that over here, sadly. They don't have all seaters and I think they are allowed alcohol consumption inside the grounds. And, it's relatively cheap. Well ok for a Dortmund season ticket, dirt cheap. I think the highest season ticket price is somewhere between £500-700.

10-15 Euros a pop in the standing section for league matches.

Germans. :bow:

[Xhaka Can’t]

I wish we could have a standing section - I wouldn't bother with it myself, but it sure would enhance the atmosphere.

[GP]

Yeah, bring back the spirit of the old north bank.

I'd be up for that.

As long as Letters can still get his prawn sandwiches.

[Niall_Quinn]

Klopp says "little bit", if he mentions a handbrake then we need to sign him immediately.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Klopp's interview. :haha:

:bow:

[GP]

Sign him up!

[Marc Overmars]

He is class.

Another one we'll miss out on though while Wenget continues to troll us all.

[Master Splinter]

I must tell you, I will not have a say in who will replace me.

But Stojković has shown a special quality in a very competitive Japanese environment.

Two-time Bundesliga champion and Champions League finalist Klopp? I do not know Klopp.

[milla]

Shame this side has already been picked at by the vultures.

Wonder who will replace Gotzzer (cheers, Gary) and Lewandowski.

Dortmund will be ok IMO. Reus will take Lewadowski CF role and Klopp would likely replace Gotze with unknown Dortmund reserve player. Dortmund is not just about 1-2 players, their whole first team squad is terrific, Klopp is doing a good job with the players at his disposal. :coffee:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Sides like Dortmund and ourselves will always be picked over by vultures - ok in our case, less so now there is little left. The trick is what is done to replace departures. We haven't even done the bare minimum if launching credible challenges for trophies is the minimum.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

:lol: klopp

overrated apparently :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

They got Reus in when they knew Kagawa was going to leave, so I guess it's something they've already successfully dealt with before.

[Grebbo]

What an absolutely fantastic club Dortmund is. Amazing fans, atmosphere, players.... just seems like a great place to be for a player or a fan. Why any player would want to leave that club is beyond me.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

goetze sold over klopp's head, klopp has enough of selling to their rivals, leaves dortmund and..

:pray:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

...becomes a monk?




*sigh*

http://www.skysports.com/opinion/story/0,25212,27183_8665898,00.html

:lol:

Close enough NQ.

[Niall_Quinn]

It's such an embarrassment having that guy going around impersonating me.

[hobson's choice]

Glad UEFA are gonna get stuck with a final they don't want.

[IBK]

Don't think we'll ever see things like that over here, sadly. They don't have all seaters and I think they are allowed alcohol consumption inside the grounds. And, it's relatively cheap. Well ok for a Dortmund season ticket, dirt cheap. I think the highest season ticket price is somewhere between £500-700.

Shame.

[Cripps_orig]

Howard Webb is the referee for the real v Dortmund 2nd leg

[Niall_Quinn]

Howard Webb is the referee for the real v Dortmund 2nd leg

Excellent choice by Real. They must be firm favourites now.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Dortmund. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Dortmund. :pray:

Both they and Real Madrid won 1-2 yesterday with heavily changed teams.

[Marc Overmars]

I suspect Barca and Madrid will both win the 2nd legs but it won't be enough.

[Master Splinter]

Barcelona 3-1 Bayern.

Real Madrid 2-2 Dortmund.

Tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

Tuesday 30th April 2013
Real Madrid v Bor Dortmund (agg 1-4) 19:45

One way or another we will see something special

[Master Splinter]

Everyone is surely a Dortmund fan tonight?

Can't think of any decent human being who would support Real Madrid.

Come on The Mund.

[Cripps_orig]

I hope whoever wins tonight wins the final

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ITV's programme is on in a minute.

[Cripps_orig]

Real Madrid: Diego Lopez, Essien, Varane, Sergio Ramos, Fabio Coentrao, Modric, Alonso, Di Maria, Ozil, Ronaldo, Higuain. Subs: Casillas, Pepe, Khedira, Kaka, Benzema, Albiol, Morata.

Borussia Dortmund: Weidenfeller, Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer, Gundogan, Bender, Blaszczykowski, Gotze, Reus, Lewandowski. Subs: Langerak, Kehl, Leitner, Sahin, Grosskreutz, Schieber, Felipe Santana.

Referee: Howard Webb (England)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southgate, Keane and Dixon are pitchside, presumably.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No Chiles, 4-1 would mean extra time.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Because I was so wrong in my prediction last time, I'll say it again and hope for the same.

3-1 Real.

But I want it to be close so there's a final worth watching...

[Cripps_orig]

We all Real fans today I assume?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mourinho putting all the blame on his players. Nice.

[Cripps_orig]

Tbf when they cross the white line, he can do f all about it.

Yes he picked the team but that team is what everyone else would have picked. Bad day at the office. Nothing more. Hopefully they redeem themselves tonight.

Come on Real and come on football

[Master Splinter]

Chiles actually did the "would any of these players get in the Madrid team?" thing.

Fucking hell.

On Paper football is the surest sign of a lack of any sense and understanding of well, anything.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Dortmund. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tbf when they cross the white line, he can do f all about it.

Yes he picked the team but that team is what everyone else would have picked. Bad day at the office. Nothing more. Hopefully they redeem themselves tonight.

Come on Real and come on football

He's accountable, just like in the last two seasons of going out at this stage. Exonerating himself doesn't really look particularly good.

[Cripps_orig]

Real corner

[Cripps_orig]

Di Maria shoots just off target.

decent start

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I've been Real on FM recently. Went down to 8 men in one game, and incredibly none of the sendings off were Pepe.

[Master Splinter]

Essien again?!

Mourinho really is his daddy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Was Pepe already suspended?

[Cripps_orig]

Time wasting already started.

Webb needs to have a good game and be impartial

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Higuain through on goal, Weidenfeller saves. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

He's accountable, just like in the last two seasons of going out at this stage. Exonerating himself doesn't really look particularly good.

The Chairman shouldn't get off scot-free.

[Cripps_orig]

Weidenfeller saves from Higuain.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Maria. :haha:

Sergio Ramos' pelanty from last season will have company.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sergio Ramos. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Dortmund's defence make almost as many stupid individual errors as current Arsenal.

Thankfully, their attack is more like Arsenal of recent past.

[Marc Overmars]

The pace these games are played at is just outstanding.

[Cripps_orig]

Dortmund panicking.

If Real score now, it's theirs for the taking

[Master Splinter]

Ronaldo clears one.

[Master Splinter]

How many big decisions will Super Cop get astoundingly wrong tonight?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Higuain. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

That's a booking surely

[Master Splinter]

Higuain :lol:.

Even if it was offside.

[Master Splinter]

That's a booking surely

Hig Waa Een took a huge dive after a slight push.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gotze has just realised who he might be playing in the final against, hobbling.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lewandowski chests down, shoots, Diego Lopez saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo does the same thing but from closer range, Weidenfeller saves!

[Cripps_orig]

Lewandowski misses a sitter.

[Marc Overmars]

How is this game still 0-0? :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Weidenfeller :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gotze off, Grosskreutz on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ozil. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Ozil :haha:.

[Marc Overmars]

Wow. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Goetze hauled off

[Master Splinter]

This game is ridiculous.

Come on Gross Kraut :bow:.

[Cripps_orig]

Real should be out of sight already.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Dortmund are holding on by their fingernails at the moment. Need to ride it out for another 15 minutes or so.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dortmund. :bow:

Broke down but great break whilst it lasted.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is Tyldesley getting bonuses for how many times he utters 'Real Madrid'?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Reus is superb.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sergio Ramos. :haha:

What a scrote.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a block from Higuain! :haha:

Poor old Di Maria.

Ozil. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coentrao booked.

Kick the shit out of them seems to be on the agenda for Marketing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Subotic should've done a lot more with that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who is Gundojuan?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"You've got to, it's that sort of night". Yes Townsend, CL semi final second leg is the place for pub team tactics.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

It's safe to say Madrid would be just fine on a cold, wet Tuesday night in Stoke.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Even Modric is joining in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Weidenfeller. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blaszczykowski. :doh:

Complete scuffer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gundogan booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Surely Sergio Ramos will be sent off tonight?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

You can see why Ramos has a dire disciplinary record.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bender booked.

Bale territory on the freekick.

[PGFC]

Webbs got Benders number then.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo. :haha:

Give it up old man.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gross Krauts. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

Victory for football so far.

[Marc Overmars]

Awesome first half.

Madrid were excellent for most of it but really needed to take at least 1 chance.

Dortmund looking classy on the counter.

Why can't all football be of this quality?

[Letters]

Bender! :lol:

#childish.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Hummels looks a pretty decent CB when he isn't throwing them in. Which is probably the sign of a not-so-good CB, but whatever.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lewandowski. :haha:

What a chance.

[Marc Overmars]

What a chance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lewandowski smacks the bar! :doh:

[GP]

Can't believe he's missed that

[Marc Overmars]

That should have been game over.

No composure for any of chances tonight, they've all been Defoe'ing it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lewandowski. :bow:

Giving him some back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid momentum. :lol:

Shut up Tyldesley.

Coentrao off, Kaka on. Higuain off, Benzema on.

[GP]

Tyldesley is the Britta Perry of commentators.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sergio Ramos really doesn't like Lewandowski's face.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Diego Lopez to deny Gundogan!

[Marc Overmars]

Gundogan. :doh:

How many more chances?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lewandowski header, just wide. Might have been a foul.

[GP]

Jesus...

He looks a different player from the first leg.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Weird stab from Di Maria.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brent S: "Is Howard Webb reffing a Champions League game or a WWE showdown? I'm fully expecting Ramos to tackle Lewandowski with a steel chair next..."

:lol:

What?

Also, Xabi Alonso off, Khedira on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gundogan. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo. :haha:

What a chance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kaka on the volley, not far wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Khedira. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lewandowski chance, another block.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sergio Ramos booked. :o

Would miss the final.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That was inevitable.

[Cripps_orig]

Webb has been shocking as expected

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Khedira booked. Time for some reds I imagine.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 1-0 Borussia Dortmund, Benzema!

[Marc Overmars]

Finally. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Weidenfeller booked

It's on

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Backs to the wall now. And then manic counters.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sergio Ramos header, Weidenfeller saves. Had a chance before that too.

Come on Dortmund.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lewandowski off, Kehl on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo. :haha:

Great save from Weidenfeller from Benzema's deflected shot!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blocks to shots by Essien and Varane now!

2-0 Sergio Ramos. Fuck.

[Marc Overmars]

Ramos!!

[GP]

The bottle job is on!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What about that from Varane.

Townsend. :doh:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Zimm was right maybe!

[Marc Overmars]

What an absolute pumping Dortmund are getting.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bender off, Santana on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sergio Ramos. :haha:

No idea how long is left.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That will surely be it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo. :haha:

Starfish at the end.

[GP]

STARFISH!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 FT. Dortmund through to the final!!!

:bow:

Mourinho. :haha:

What a bottle job.

[GP]

Real :haha:

Pathetic

[Letters]

Bender :bow:

Mourinho :pal:

[Marc Overmars]

Fantastic tie. :bow:

Great effort from Madrid but they really should have taken some of those early chances.

Part 1 complete. :dance:

Come on Bayern.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mourinho. :lol:

His fifth exit at the semi-final stage. Third in a row. :coffee:

[GP]

Ronaldo's record of bottling the big games continues.

What a fraud.

[GP]

Mourinho. :lol:

His fifth exit at the semi-final stage. Third in a row. :coffee:

Mourinho was on his way to the final bank...

[GP]

Soccer Guy ‏@usasoccerguy
Dortmund are soccerbees- wearing yellow & black uniforms & making real sweet soccer honey for soccer fans to eat & enjoy.

[Cripps_orig]

Congratulations to Dortmund

Hope they win it

Commiserations to Real Madrid. Left it a little too late though.

[Letters]

That was liquid football


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xhlx43rTs2Q

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moshpit!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mourinho was on his way to the final bank...

He has the Copa Del Rey.

Mourinho. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Can't wait for tomorrow now.

I expect it to be very similar to this game.

Come on football. :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Ronaldo was extremely quiet tonight.

Ah, he's injured. Might explain it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He didn't do a huge amount in the first leg really either, scored obviously but Hummels had a brainfart and a FIFA goal came from it.

Hummels was brilliant tonight though.

[Marc Overmars]

Ronaldo was extremely quiet tonight.

Ah, he's injured. Might explain it.

Time to send Messi and Ronaldo to the glue factory tbh.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

It's about time.


I wonder what drugs Klopp is on tonight :popcorn:

Useless ITV.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mourinho isn't happy with Webb. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ITV are such a ramshackle organisation. Couldn't even hang on to finish an interview properly.

Look at the pain in his face. :lol: Oh well.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another billion quid team bites the dust. Barca next please and Dortmund to stuff Bayern in the final, all's well that ends well.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

klopp overrated apparently :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

We all Bayern fans for the 2nd semi?

And Dortmund fans whoever they play in the final?

[Özil's Panoramic View]

We all Bayern fans for the 2nd semi?

And Dortmund fans whoever they play in the final?

Both go without saying, tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

No Busquets apparently

[Marc Overmars]

Sounds like Mourinho will go back to Chelsea. :rolleyes:

Bayern have a stack of players on yellow cards tonight, including, Lahm, Dante and Schweinsteiger. :popcorn:

[Xhaka Can’t]

We all Bayern fans for the 2nd semi?

And Dortmund fans whoever they play in the final?

That is pretty much where I am.

[Master Splinter]

Mourinho does it again.

Dortmund should have killed the game off well before Benzema's goal. They're extremely inefficient. The speed and incisiveness of their attacks is just glorious though. Reus is such a special player. Every time he touches the ball in the final third, it seems to lead to a chance. I want Klopp at Arsenal just so he'd bring him along too.

How did Segrio Ramos not get sent off? About ten elbows and he only gets booked in the dying stages of the match. Webb :doh:.

Mourinho :haha:.

Ronaldo :haha:.

A rare victory for football. Dortmund :bow:.

[Letters]

I'm mostly wondering how much MrsL will stab me in the face if I insist we spent 2 hours of our holiday in Rome watching the final.

<_<

[Cripps_orig]

Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Javi Martinez, Luiz Gustavo, Dante and Mario Gomez are all on yellows.

Hope they win and all are booked

[GP]

[Xhaka Can’t]

I'm mostly wondering how much MrsL will stab me in the face if I insist we spent 2 hours of our holiday in Rome watching the final.

<_<

I managed to get a couple of hours off my honeymoon to watch an Ireland v France game no problem.

I then got hideously drunk stayed until closing, then got lost on the way back to the hotel because I couldn't explain to the taxi driver where it was with not being able to remember the name of the hotel or where in Barcelona it was.

Apparently, that bit was a problem.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Barcelona: Valdes, Dani Alves, Pique, Bartra, Adriano, Xavi, Song, Iniesta, Villa, Fabregas, Pedro. Subs: Pinto, Sanchez, Messi, Thiago, Jonathan, Montoya, Tello.

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

Referee: Joan Laporta (Spain).

[GP]

Messi :lol:

[GP]

Song and Cesc starting?

Easy German win.

[Cripps_orig]

Messi dropped for their biggest game of the season :haha:

Best player in the world tbh :lol:

Fabregas and Song both starting as is Iniesta. Surely the piss poorest Barca team of all time

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme is on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jamie, Ballack and Souness are pitchside.

[milla]

Mourinho does it again.

Dortmund should have killed the game off well before Benzema's goal. They're extremely inefficient. The speed and incisiveness of their attacks is just glorious though. Reus is such a special player. Every time he touches the ball in the final third, it seems to lead to a chance. I want Klopp at Arsenal just so he'd bring him along too.

How did Segrio Ramos not get sent off? About ten elbows and he only gets booked in the dying stages of the match. Webb :doh:.

Mourinho :haha:.

Ronaldo :haha:.

A rare victory for football. Dortmund :bow:.

:gp:

Reus is much bigger talent than Lewandowski IMO, he score a lot of goals whilst playing for small time Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-3 years ago. Would be nice if we could have him at Arsenal. Imagine, Reus and Draxler combo at the Grove :cloud9:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jamie doing the "wouldn't get in their team" routine.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Come on.... actually I don't care.

Come on Dortmund!

[GP]

Come on Dominos!

[Marc Overmars]

Cesc and Song? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What's Souness on about? :lol:

Guardiola 'inherited' a team that finished third.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Champions League music. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

First Barca game for this ref.

:popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vilanova having a good pick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves. :lol:

Nearly caught out. Probably a passback, although looked unintentional.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clap of encouragement from Xavi to the ref. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not the Nevgasm tonight please. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robben. :haha:

[GP]

Robben :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible from Dani Alves. Great pass from Xavi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes off on his travels. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves. :haha:

Just save face and get Messi on FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great effort from Pedro, Neuer saves.

[Niall_Quinn]

This Barca team show why even if we sign top quality we still need to get away from the tippy tappy shit football. Even Barca with their billion quid roster look short on ideas when they come up against a well organised opponent.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pique resorting to a shot on target, Valdes blocks it with his foot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Whack it Cesc!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chance for Xavi, volleys it over.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dive by Cesc followed by a horrible miss by Xavi.

[Niall_Quinn]

Some dreadfully sloppy play by both teams, especially in the final third.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Maybe Barca can't find another doctor.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robben booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why didn't Iniesta lay it off to Pedro?

[Niall_Quinn]

Maybe Barca haven't remembered they are 4 down but it's all very comfortable for the Germans so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robben is little bit greedy.

[Niall_Quinn]

Robben, what a greedy bastard.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pedro dead, died instantly after a strong challenge. He's better now though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well won by Adriano, terrible shot.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another Barca move breaks down in the box. So e terrible decision making going on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Nice passage of play from Fabregas, but breaks down around the box again.

[Niall_Quinn]

These commentators switch their allegiance pretty fast, no slobbering over Barca tonight. Instead we have the red army.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves takes out Schweinsteiger, then goes down feigning injury.

Dani Alves booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

Just get Messi on, even if he can't walk.

[Niall_Quinn]

Alves faking injury to try to avoid a booking. Gets booked anyway. Very dull half comes to an end. Easy for the Germans.

[Cripps_orig]

Barca are terrible

[Marc Overmars]

Barca fairly blunt without Messi, again.

Bayern will probably score on the counter at some point, although the same was said for Dortmund last night.

[Niall_Quinn]

Barca are terrible

Their blood bags didn't arrive for some reason.

[Niall_Quinn]

Gazprom advert :haha:

Buy our gas or we kill you all.

[Cripps_orig]

Iniesta is terrible

[Niall_Quinn]

Iniesta is terrible

He's choking tonight as badly as Ronaldo.

[Cripps_orig]

Iniesta is terrible

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mare of a start from Song.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 0-1 Bayern Munich, Robben! Great goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lol 5-0 robben

[Niall_Quinn]

How old is Robben? 50?

[Marc Overmars]

Damn, missed the goal.

Wanted to shout the scorer. :(

[Niall_Quinn]

Even Ribery is playing well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Villa :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robben can't resist conspiring to mess it up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi off, Sanchez on. Barca's prayers answered.

[Niall_Quinn]

Candy from a baby, Barca being murdered here. Totally toothless performance from the one man team Spaniards. Xavi off and the hopeless Sanchez on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref seems very impartial tonight. Scandalous.

[Cripps_orig]

Bayern :bow:

Robben is awesome

Barca :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Bayern :bow:

Robben is awesome

Barca :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A baptism of fire, Neville.

Just a baptism doesn't really describe what you mean.

[Niall_Quinn]

This is a very very good Bayern team, like a machine. Remind me of the early 80s Liverpool.

[Marc Overmars]

Bayern are little bit awesome.

[Niall_Quinn]

Why would the coronation of some **** king be a great time for the Dutch?

[Niall_Quinn]

Iniesta has been very ordinary without his mates.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta off, Thiago on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Iniesta off, thiago on.corner to Barca, their best moment of the match so far. Looks like Barca have given it up and are pulling players.

[Cripps_orig]

Iniesta hauled off

Surely the end of his Barca career

[Niall_Quinn]

The incredible, we should have broke the bank to sign him, Schweinsteiger comes off.

[Niall_Quinn]

Mueller works hard but he's a bit shite.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lol, has to be a FK for foul on Robben???
