[Olivier's xmas twist]

Mancini going mad :haha:

Still going mad :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

So City need to beat Madrid and win in Dortmund to have any chance of going through?

Good luck with that. :haha:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Mancini's post-match CL interviews are comedy gold. Gabriel Clarke/Geoff Shreeves/whichever chancer trying to catch him with zingers, which he pretends not to understand.

[GP]

Arabs :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Mancini is not getting the respect his chequebook deserves.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Arabs :haha:

Cech nearly fucked it up. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shaktar need to bring Fergie on from the bench so that they can give Chelsea two back eyes please.

Fergie has already influenced things at Stamford Bridge this season tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech saves from Fernandinho, he hit that little bit well.

Some teams should be made to sign an undertaking that they wont embarrrass themselves before being allowed to participate in the CL

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia 2-0 BATE, Soldado pelanty. :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Lille need Joe Cole.

We will be all too happy to help them out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Some teams should be made to sign an undertaking that they wont embarrrass themselves before being allowed to participate in the CL

I suppose this kind of thing happens when you keep selling your best players. And Gervinho.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Teixeira shoots, only just wide. Brilliant play from Shakhtar. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jordi Alba puts it across goal, nobody going in far post.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 5-0 Lille, Pizarro hat-trick. :haha:

[GP]

Barca pressure is relentless.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez heads on to the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torres. :haha:

Worst backheel ever.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juventus 3-0 Nordsjaelland, Giovinco.

Pyatov. :doh:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Sanchez heads on to the post!

Sanchez, im just not sold on him really.

Chelsea 2-1, Oscar.

Pyatov. :doh:

Good goal, bad keeping.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pyatov saves this time from Oscar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Celtic 1-0 Barcelona, HT.

And yeah, I just don't think Sanchez really fits in there.

[Niall_Quinn]

Excellent organisation by the jocks. Almost as if their manager knew what to expect from Barca and set up to nullify it. Barca relentless but what a bunch of horrible cheats they are.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Excellent organisation by the jocks. Almost as if their manager knew what to expect from Barca and set up to nullify it. Barca relentless but what a bunch of horrible cheats they are.

Time for Lampregas tbh.

[Globalgunner]

Excellent organisation by the jocks. Almost as if their manager knew what to expect from Barca and set up to nullify it. Barca relentless but what a bunch of horrible cheats they are..

What a novel concept!. is this allowed?. Has someone informed our management?

[Master Splinter]

It must be in Pyatov's contract that he has to make at least five mistakes per match for club and country.

He is awlful.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 2-2 Shakhtar, Willian, awlsome play!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Braga 1-0 Man Utd, Alan pelanty. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Floodlight failure at Braga. :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Power outage in the United game. Fergie up to his old tricks again?

[Master Splinter]

The Fergie :bow:.

He is immense.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Mulgrew.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wanyama is a beast.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez off, David Villa on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cluj 1-2 Galatasaray, Yilmaz again.

Jordi Alba was booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Song should be off.

[Master Splinter]

Bertrand having a Santos.

Time to hound him out of the country for having a bad game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 6-1 Lille, Kroos. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Song should be off.

He's not an Arsenal player.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Song should have been off - no question at all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Mikel. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Mikel :lol:.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Song should be off.

:gp: disgusting that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forster saves from Messi again!

[Xhaka Can’t]

My god, Foster is having a phenomenal night.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bartra off, Pique on.

Song hauled off, Cesc on.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Forster even.

Song hauled off. Fab on.

[Master Splinter]

Forster to throw one in the net in Laporta Time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benfica 2-0 Spartak Moscow, Cardozo with his second.

[Niall_Quinn]

Even Xavi can't stand that Alves ****.

[Globalgunner]

Disallowed goal for Mikel. :lol:

I`m afraid that sentence does not compute. Mikel doesnt score goals

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juventus 4-0 Nordsjaelland, Quagliarella.

[Niall_Quinn]

I`m afraid that sentence does not compute. Mikel doesnt score goals

Was a perfectly good offside goal but the linesman is a racist.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I`m afraid that sentence does not compute. Mikel doesnt score goals

The sentence is correct then!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Excellent organisation by the jocks. Almost as if their manager knew what to expect from Barca and set up to nullify it. Barca relentless but what a bunch of horrible cheats they are.

Surely that is cheating?

[Niall_Quinn]

Surely that is cheating?

It's tactical doping.

[Özim]

Celtic showing great resilience and fight again, second time they have against Barca...sure Barca have better players but it just shows you what organisation and desire can do.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cluj 1-3 Galatasaray, Yilmaz hat-trick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP is on to save the day again. :sick:

[Niall_Quinn]

Celtic showing great resilience and fight again, second time they have against Barca...sure Barca have better players but it just shows you what organisation and desire can do.

And a traditional kit the marketing whores haven't spunked on.

[Master Splinter]

Take Pyatov off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mikel puts it wide.

Pyatov is great.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Celtic, Watt!!!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Booooooaaaaaaaal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

[Master Splinter]

Pyatov catches one!!!!!!!!!!!

[Özim]

Unbelievable mighty Barca humbled!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck me. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!

Fuck off Barca you ****s.

Best match of the year.

[Cripps_orig]

Barca :haha:

BBLs :haha:

Messi so called best player in the world cant do it in Britain

[Marc Overmars]

Barca. :haha:

Celtic. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Sanchez Watt :bow:.

Arsenal :bow:.

Barca :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia 3-2 BATE, Mozolevski. :blink:

[Globalgunner]

Surely that is cheating?

Fortunately for us the introduction of FFP will soon level the playing field


Shit!! Celtic 2-0 Barca What? or maybe Watt

[Xhaka Can’t]

Celtic doing what we can only dream of.

[Özim]

Amazing stuff from Celtic, got to love that desire and passion, reminds me of the old days at Arsenal under Graham when we'd overcome superior opposition with these qualities

[Özim]

Celtic doing what we can only dream of.
That's a bit optimistic to be honest, I don't think we can even dream of that.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Mascherano should be off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia 4-2 BATE, Feghouli with his second.

[Niall_Quinn]

100% free kick if that had been Barca through on goal.

[Cripps_orig]

GOAL - Celtic 2-0 Barcelona - Tony Watt (83 mins)
Oh this is remarkable. They may be the best team in the world, but they'd struggle in the SPL on this eidence. Again Barcelona cannot deal with the most straightforward of attacks. Fraser Forster lumps a route one clearance down the park, Xavi makes a hash of clearing it and 18-year-old substitute Tony Watt runs on to plant an assured finish into the corner. Bedlam at Celtic Park.

:haha:

[Xhaka Can’t]

What are those numbers that keep appearing over the Sky Sports ident?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good block from Pique to deny David Villa.

[Xhaka Can’t]

CELTIC!!!!!! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Celtic 2-1 Barcelona, Messi!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Barca, useless team.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Balls.

2-1

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck off you greasy cheating slime. **** bag luckily steals one back for the scum.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Luiz. :lol:

[Özim]

This what football is all about for me, a team who want to win so badly, relative minnows downing Goliath.

[Master Splinter]

Shakhtar so close to a winner!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Fuck off you greasy cheating slime. **** bag luckily steals one back for the scum.

:gp:

Fabregas :pal:

Song :pal:

[Niall_Quinn]

All out cheating on EVERY decision by the ref now.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pedro the ridiculous diving ****.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Celtic 2-1 Barcelona, FT.

Barca. :haha:

[Xhaka Can’t]

CELTIC!!!!!! :bow:


THEY'VE DONE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

This what football is all about for me, a team who want to win so badly, relative minnows downing Goliath.

You really don't want Downing in your team, even if you have Goliath up front.

[GP]

Real/Barca :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking magnificent. That's what football is all about.

Fuck off home you dirty scum cheats. You took a hell of a beating.

[Özim]

THEY'VE DONE IT.....ABSOLUTELY AMAZING......WHAT A GAME.....WHAT A TEAM....MIGHTY CELTIC DOWN BARCA!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-2 Chelsea, Moses.

FFS.

Braga 1-1 Man Utd, RVP.

WOW WOW WOW

Moses!

3-2!

Shakhtar :doh:.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Pelanty to Man Utd.

Alex Mong :haha:

[Özim]

Real/Barca :haha:
:unsure:

[Niall_Quinn]

A thousand times bigger buzz than watching arsenal. I remember when we had nights that would get you going like that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Braga 1-2 Man Utd, Rooney.

[Özim]

Moses!

3-2!

Shakhtar :doh:.
Has he stopped parting the seas and decided to part defences instead?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The only good news about that Chelsea winner is Shakhtar will still hold the head-to-head advantage if they tie on points.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

FrankCesc Lampregrease :haha:

Alex Mong :haha:

:gp:

Barca :haha:

Damm the Cl is so poor.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Braga 1-2 Man Utd, Rooney.

Why don't they just fuck off! :ilt:

[Niall_Quinn]

Shame those filthy chavs and scummy Utd shit won, but you can't have everything (or anything if you support arsenal)

[Xhaka Can’t]

OK, setting yourself up to deal with a superior opposition may not technically be cheating, but surely the tactical introduction of a sub that wins you the game must be?

[Syn]

Damm the Cl is so poor.

why?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why don't they just fuck off! :ilt:

It's Fergie we need to fuck off really.

[Marc Overmars]

I'm wondering when it's going to stop being :sick: everytime RVC scores.

[Niall_Quinn]

OK, setting yourself up to deal with a superior opposition may not technically be cheating, but surely the tactical introduction of a sub that wins you the game must be?

Depends what minute the sub is made.

[Cripps_orig]

Barca :haha:

Terrible best team in the world

[Gervinho's Forehead]

OK, setting yourself up to deal with a superior opposition may not technically be cheating, but surely the tactical introduction of a sub that wins you the game must be?

Esp if it's not at a predetermined time in the match.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Depends what minute the sub is made.

:gp:

[Master Splinter]

The Fergie's plan was masterfully executed today.

What will he concoct on the weekend?

[Syn]

I'm wondering when it's going to stop being :sick: everytime RVC scores.

They're not even +1's. Each goal is a difference-maker that only he can score. Rooney is not even in the same league.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

why?

I just don't think its at the quality it use to be, don't get me wrong, you have some good team, and maybe it hots up in the later rounds, but i don't think i have seen anything special fromany team yet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-3 Hernandez. Awesome defending from Arsenalistas.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Barcelona. :haha:

BBLs. :haha:

Xavi jumping over the ball. :haha:

Xavi. :haha:

The Laporta. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Braga :doh:.

Braga :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd qualify as group winners. :sick:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Celtic though, you have to give it to them, best result of the 2 days for me. Only 2 points behind barca now.

COME ON CELTIC.

[Marc Overmars]

They're not even +1's. Each goal is a difference-maker that only he can score. Rooney is not even in the same league.

Yeah, that's what sets him apart unfortunatley.

Only hope is that he's dragged down by his teammates like he was here.

[Master Splinter]

RVC United somehow have four wins from four.

[Syn]

I just don't think its at the quality it use to be, don't get me wrong, you have some good team, and maybe it hots up in the later rounds, but i don't think i have seen anything special fromany team yet.

The Germans playing into form has compensated for the Brits being shit. I think the competition is as strong as it has been for a while. The attacking quality in Europe is unbelievable these days. Saw that last year when Man utd were battered (and that's no exaggeration) by only the 4th best team in Spain. A lot of the non-traditional big players are making noise and it's good to see.

You got the feeling Dortmund looked a bit scared on their travels last season. Now that they've played themselves in, I quite fancy them to go all the way.

[Niall_Quinn]

They're not even +1's. Each goal is a difference-maker that only he can score. Rooney is not even in the same league.

Best striker in the world. We knew that before we sold him to our rivals. We'll solve their midfield problem for them too once we are ready to flog Jack. You can't say we aren't generous.

Looks very strong this year. We really are just one level above the minnows in the competition now.

True, suppose it won't be the same old same old. Its always good to see new faces.

[Marc Overmars]

I've said it before but I just love watching Dortmund play. So direct and pacy.

I hope they can go far.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Dortmund are a very good team. I remember no one wanting them in the draw last season, but they flopped pretty badly in our group. This year playing at a brilliant pace with really good attacking players.

Germans. :bow:

They're back I think.

On the negative side yeah, our star is not shining bright in Europe. Not even played a good game yet. Just not that good with the ball. Potential for buttsecks in the knockouts.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Best striker in the world. We knew that before we sold him to our rivals. We'll solve their midfield problem for them too once we are ready to flog Jack. You can't say we aren't generous.

Sssshhhhhh! Remember we're not supposed to have a hint of Arsenal in our posts in these threads. :ninja:

[Niall_Quinn]

Sssshhhhhh! Remember we're not supposed to have a hint of Arsenal in our posts in these threads. :ninja:

Oops. Back on topic then. Rooney is a ****.

[Marc Overmars]

Barca vs Dortmund in the 2nd round please. :pray:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

I've said it before but I just love watching Dortmund play. So direct and pacy.

I hope they can go far.

Same, i think they'd beat any of the englidh teams in the knock out stages. Once they get rid of city that is.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Barca vs Dortmund in the 2nd round please. :pray:

Oh god I can't take another German side bottling it the final against another English team (probably united) It'll be too much!!!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Oh god I can't take another German side bottling it the final against another English team (probably united) It'll be too much!!!

RVP with the winning goal tbh.

[Marc Overmars]

Pretty sure the razors would come out for real if RVC scored the winning goal in the CL final.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Oh god I can't take another German side bottling it the final against another English team (probably united) It'll be too much!!!

RVP with the winning goal tbh.

:sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Celtic had 11% possession according to Sky.

[Cripps_orig]

ITV not having highlights on a wednesday :doh:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Celtic had 11% possession according to Sky.

:haha:

Tippy, tappy football. :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Wanayama might be worth a punt.

Although he's probably more of a scrote African rather than one who can upload beast mode.

[Niall_Quinn]

Celtic had 11% possession according to Sky.

:haha:

Barca, worse than Arsenal.

[Niall_Quinn]

RVP with the winning goal tbh.

RvC missing the decisive penalty in a shoot out is a better way to look at it.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

RvC missing the decisive penalty in a shoot out is a better way to look at it.

True.


Barca, worse than Arsenal.

Well they played like us. Must say they do stick to their principles no matter what.

So how many will Bendtner score against Chelsea?

I'm going for 2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrible touch from Iniesta.

I don't know how many goals he will score but I think Bendtner will do the Bendtner head holding 3048384894 times.

[Marc Overmars]

Does Dennis Bendtner even get games for Juve?

They must be pretty shit up front to call on him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spartak Moscow 0-1 Barcelona, Dani Alves! Messi fluked assist.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BATE 0-1 Lille, Sidibe.

What a chance for Suchy, blazes it over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spartak Moscow 0-2 Barcelona, Messi! Completely scuffed in to the ground but it goes in to the corner.

He is going to destroy Raul's CL record. One behind Horseface's record.
