Champions League 2014/15

[AFC Leveller]

Neuer is a man mountain, cant be beaten.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

:bow: to all.

[Munchies]

fantastic half

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wrong thread.

Me. :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Enjoyable to watch.

Which of course is the whole point for most fans.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guardiola. :haha:

So lucky they didn't get punished. Mourinho makes a change after going behind or getting slaughtered - all hail the tactical genius. :bow:

[Munchies]

Wrong thread.

Me. :lol:

:cheers:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Redknapp says Neuer is the best goalkeeper ever.

Maybe a bit strong.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Bayern, edge of the area.

Lewandowski took the easy option to go down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xabi Alonso hits it straight against the wall.

[Master Splinter]

The decision-making in the final third has been terrible from both teams.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mascherano is going for the record of committing fouls in a single half I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez can't flick it like Mesut. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bernat booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi belt it, Neuer saves.

[Master Splinter]

Ref has pulled his Barcelona shirt on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pass it Neymar you berk!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Amazing from Messi, Neymar got Neuer'd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Neymar constantly fucking up.

Where's N_Q?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pique launches in to Lewandowski. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar went full-on Wilshere there. Lay it off!

[AFC Leveller]

neymar bigger diver than azzah

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar squaring up to the ref. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Time for Vermaelen. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thiago shoots, deflects very kindly for Ter Stegen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez. :haha:

Awful.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar dive, no yellow?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-0 Bayern Munich, MESSI!!!!!!

:bow:

What a player.

[AFC Leveller]

messi

great player

[Master Splinter]

Bayern's two minutes of idiotic sloppiness cost them there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muller off, Goetze on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 2-0 Bayern Munich, MESSI!!!!

Incredible.

[Master Splinter]

Ronaldo literally crying.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

All time top scorer in the Champions League again. :bow:

[fakeyank]

What. A. Freaking. Player.

[AFC Leveller]

GOAT

[Master Splinter]

Poor Boateng. :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Messi, stop being so fucking good you talented bastard.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rakitic off, Xavi on.

[Thierrymon]

Boateng :lol: Timber!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tyler. :sick:

Says he needs a cold shower.

[Munchies]

boateng dead lol

[Niall_Quinn]

Messi is as good as Neymar is shit, he's really that good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez. :haha:

How much?

[Globalgunner]

Ronaldo literally crying.

There really is no comparison between the two. Messi always leaves you with memories. Ronnie leaves you pissed off.

[Master Splinter]

Suarez pubbing it up tonight.

[AFC Leveller]

noone can say messi isnt the goat, what he did to boateng is a crime

[Globalgunner]

Messi is as good as Neymar is shit, he's really that good.

Neymar is slighty better than Raheem Sterling

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta off, Rafinha on.

Poor old Tommy V.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mascherano off, Bartra on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 3-0 Bayern Munich, Neymar!

Messi assist. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Bayern :haha:.

[AFC Leveller]

3

bye bye

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fight fight fight!

[AFC Leveller]

ft

wow

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 3-0 Bayern Munich, FT.

Messi. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

noone can say messi isnt the goat, what he did to boateng is a crime

It's like comparing The Beatles to Maroon 5.

[Globalgunner]

The fat lady is singing a German dirge for Bayern

[Niall_Quinn]

Can't feel any pity for Bayern because that cunt Robben dives for them. Have to pin all hopes on Juve now.

[Munchies]

Pep :rose:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That second goal is just jaw dropping.

I may have watched it a few times.

[Master Splinter]

Have Sky and Gary Neville moved on to more important matters like spreading the gospel of Mourinho, Terry, Matic and Chelsea?

[Munchies]

http://fat.gfycat.com/PortlyUnconsciousGoldenretriever.gif

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Same players pretty much?

Yeah, Guardiola had Ter Stegen, Neymar, Suarez and Rakitic. Redknapp, go home.

[Marc Overmars]

Messi. :bow:

What a freak.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Have Sky and Gary Neville moved on to more important matters like spreading the gospel of Mourinho, Terry, Matic and Chelsea?

He gave Mourinho a free pass on Monday because they didn't lose either leg against PSG so he'll be on it saying that's what Pep should have done.

[Niall_Quinn]

That second goal is just jaw dropping.

I may have watched it a few times.

Bit too entertaining for my liking. In the end, we aren't going to remember stuff like this when we compare it to the chavs grinding out a title purchase.

[Master Splinter]

Same players pretty much?

Yeah, Guardiola had Ter Stegen, Neymar, Suarez and Rakitic. Redknapp, go home.

Jordi Alba too.

But don't let basic knowledge of the game you're paid to watch get in the way of casual ignorance.

Is Jamie Redknapp the thickest man in England?

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Messi. :bow:

What a god!

[Munchies]

more angles

http://giant.gfycat.com/BowedUnfoldedArachnid.gif

[GP]

There has never been a better player than Messi. He's undoubtedly the best of all time.

[Niall_Quinn]

George Best could do that. With a heavier ball, wearing clogs and being violently assaulted by drunk defenders.

[GP]

Sure, but Boateng isn't drunk here.

As far as I know.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I bet George Best couldn't.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sure, but Boateng isn't drunk here.

As far as I know.

He looks it.

[Marc Overmars]

Best was drunk himself and had no idea what he was doing anyway.

[Niall_Quinn]

Best was drunk himself and had no idea what he was doing anyway.

True. He could do it drunk.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Munchies]

:lol:

only time I recall Ronaldo doing something similar:

http://i.imgur.com/5k31Ihj.gif

[Marc Overmars]

That was before his game became all about pace and power™.

[Master Splinter]

Well, his tricks only came off like 5% of the time anyway.

He's just Agbonlahor on steroids now.

[Master Splinter]

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

:haha:

[Globalgunner]

They missed out cause of death, which should have read: Acute embarrasment

[Master Splinter]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CE0tz2QWIAEK4Aw.jpg

[Master Splinter]

Should be a good game despite the score from the first leg. Barca won't just camp in their own half and Bayern will come out like a machine because they usually do and because they have no other choice.

Goal fest please.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ITV's programme is on now.

Keane, Scholes and Dixon pitchside.

Scholes should just do what he did all career and shut the fuck up.

[GP]

Scholes is a ginger fuck stick

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

A repeat of yesterday's L1 play off would be nice.

[Munchies]

Pep starting ALonso/Schweinsteiger in midfield.. they're so slow

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great block from Pique to deny Thiago.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 1-0 Barcelona, BENATIA!!!!

[Munchies]

game on!

[Master Splinter]

Szczesny/Ospina/Almunia/Martinez/Lehmann/Huddart would be slaughtered for that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lewandowski was a bit too pub there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 1-1 Barcelona, Neymar!

MSN fucked them up.

[GP]

Easy

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ter Stegen saves from Muller!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible control from Suarez. :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Bayern Munich 1-1 Barcelona, Neymar!

MSN fucked them up.
Also known in some quarters ar Neymesuz

[Master Splinter]

Pep starting ALonso/Schweinsteiger in midfield.. they're so slow

Just like Mertesacker hahahahaha

ha

[Munchies]

Pep :rose:

[GP]

Just like Mertesacker hahahahaha

ha

Ahahahaha it's funny cos he's slow.

[Master Splinter]

Ahahahaha it's funny cos he's slow.

he has no pace and always gets turned by all the amazin fast players in the pl hahaha

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Also known in some quarters ar Neymesuz

Neymesuz Ozil :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lewandowski. :lol:

Toepoke and Ter Stegen saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi with half a toepoker, Neuer saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good chance for Muller, wasted.

Thiago. :bow:

He has said wherever Pep goes, he goes.

What a sycophant. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 1-2 Barcelona, Neymar!

Again Messi, Suarez and Neymar combine.

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi the big target man lumping the ball up to him. :haha:

[GP]

Suarez is brilliant.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Fucks sake stop giving it to Neymar to score, Luis. I need FF points!

[Globalgunner]

Suarez is brilliant.

And completely unselfish. two on a plate even Neymar couldn't F U

Fat lady tuning up to sing Wagner for Bayern

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

How football should be played, don't care who wins just enjoying what I'm seeing

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ter Stegen saves twice from Lewandowski's one shot to keep it out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi does a Boateng!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 1-2 Barcelona, HT.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bit too open, tended to get a bit entertaining at times. Not the sort of teams or game anyone is going to remember.

[Niall_Quinn]

Scholes is a more irritating and more boring version of Michael Owen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez off, Pedro on. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar's fall. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

What a ridiculous fuck that Neymar bloke is :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schweinsteiger seeing things in his old age and boots it out of play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar at it again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 2-2 Barcelona, Lewandowski! The comeback is on. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Finished it as brilliantly as Walcott never does.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

If only Giroud had that in his locker.

[Niall_Quinn]

If only Giroud had that in his locker.

Instead of harmony hairspray

[Niall_Quinn]

Great defending by Lahm, Bayern almost scored there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I may fall asleep.

Barca bringing on defenders. :lol:

Rakitic off, Mathieu on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 3-2 Barcelona, Muller!

[Niall_Quinn]

Nice finish by Muller 3-2 :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta off, Xavi on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Neymar :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Neymar must have the best agent in the world.

[fakeyank]

Fraudiola getting found again :haha: :pal:

[Niall_Quinn]

Neymar :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 3-2

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

God that second half was poor.

[Munchies]

Juve :scarf:

Pogba :bow:

[AFC Leveller]

Satan is on his way to Madrid as i write this.

[Munchies]

Casillas; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; James, Kroos, Isco; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo.

Buffon, Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra, Marchisio, Pirlo, Pogba, Vidal, Tevez, Morata

[Master Splinter]

Is N_Q here to do his scouting report on Pogba?

Come on Juve!! They're doing it tbh. Satan is still hopefully hanging out with Mourinho.

1-1 on the night.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good clearance from Bale. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema. :haha:

Mug.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vidal shoots, Casillas stretches to save it but save it he does.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema times his run but not the pass.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale belts it, Buffon saves.

[fakeyank]

Real Madrid are showing how you play against teams with 10 people behind the ball.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

You're kidding :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Marketing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marketing 1-0 Juventus, Ronaldo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What's with the music? :haha:

They don't normally play that.

[Munchies]

how the fuck is that a pen?!??!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

They've been handing out song sheets as well

:rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo praising his brain for actually putting away a pelanty.

[Master Splinter]

I think it was a pel. Stupid challenge. James didn't dive like Azar either.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

how the fuck is that a pen?!??!

:satan:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale and Evra. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pogba runs it out of play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo just dropped the Ashes.

[Master Splinter]

Ronaldo :haha:.

What was that?

[Master Splinter]

Peer Low has been a bit crap over the two legs so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema decides enough of that attack and shoots over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The ref saw Juve had an attack on there so quickly decided to blow for the foul he previously had not given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

James booked for diving. :lol:

Disgusting.

[Master Splinter]

James :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT.

Juventus letting Satan have his way.

[fakeyank]

I want Juve to win but I also know that they will be massacred by Barca in the final.. so with a lot of pain I have to say that Real need to win this.

[Niall_Quinn]

Be a laugh if somebody with balls disqualified Marketing for not showing up for the second half.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Absolute shite from Pogba.

[Master Splinter]

Pogba has been dreadful.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marchisio smacks it but wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pogba. :haha:

Dear me.

[Master Splinter]

FFS Pogba.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vidal screwed that up, what a chance. Daft pass.

[Master Splinter]

MORATAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 1-1 Juventus, MORATA!!!!!!

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

This should be fun now.

Spaces for Juventus on the break :bow:.

[Munchies]

:bow:

#HALAJUVE

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale just packed his bags. :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema knocking down the elderly to the ground.

[Master Splinter]

Bale :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema hauled off, Hernandez on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

James smacks it, Buffon rooted to the spot but over it goes.

[Munchies]

Ha-mez hits one just over

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casillas saves to deny Marchisio.

Oh dear. What a chance.

[Master Splinter]

Marchisio :doh:.

Morata is brilliant at holding on to the ball and has deceptively good feet. Can see why he was likely a Wenget target. Cheekt bid IMO. Welbz :wave:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale puts another wide. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale heads it over! :haha:

What a legend.

[Master Splinter]

Bale :haha: :haha:.

[Munchies]

:haha: :haha:

Lmfao

come back Bale

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hernandez tumbles to the floor, nothing given.

[Master Splinter]

Who's going to pay Real the fee they want for Bale though?

United seem to be the only option. He'd hopefully be as successful as their last Real import.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dive every second for Marketing for the rest of the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who's going to pay Real the fee they want for Bale though?

United seem to be the only option. He'd hopefully be as successful as their last Real import.

Perez is a mentalist, depends what trophy signing they can get their hands on in the summer.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I love Spanish commentary.

Arriba! Bayul Bayul Bayul!

Pogba is muerto, apparently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man Pirlo off, Barzagli on.

Pirlo gets a better reception than Bale from the Madridistas. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid get gifted a corner but nothing really comes of it.

Tame shot from Kroos.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think Bale goes for shots all the time because he has no game intelligence.

Smudger defending him for 'taking responsibility'. :lol:

Morata off, Llorente on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hernandez can't control it properly, out it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casillas saves from Pogba, Vidal pubs up the rebound.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pogba off, Pereyra on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four added minutes!

[Munchies]

cmon Juve!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Buffon. :bow:

Brilliant.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Foul throw from Casillas! :haha: :haha: :haha:

That worked well for them.

That clause that Real tried to put in his contract :haha:.

[Master Splinter]

Real have no trust in their squad despite the money spent on all those big-name youngsters they're hoarding.

The fire sale will be fun and hopefully they all do a Robben, Sneijder and Morata.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Evra v Suarez :tiphat:

And Chiellini.

At least he isn't a diving shitstick like that mob in Madrid.

[Munchies]

Souness namedrops Arsenal again for no fucking reason.

what the cunt say?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

what the cunt say?

He was talking about expecting Real Madrid's 'big' players, expecting them to relish the situation and then mentioned this is what we say about Arsenal. :wacko:

When are Turkish clubs going to be banned from European competition?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3097399/Galatasaray-supporter-points-gun-air-title-celebrations-busy-Istanbul.html

Why are their fans (and often their teams) allowed to get away with so much shit when clubs from other countries would get pasted for doing half of what the Turks get away with?

Racist chants from a small section of idiots? Bans, fines, matches behind closed doors.

Beatings, stabbings, bringing guns to matches, armed gunmen attacking team buses (as you do) - slap on the wrist and business as usual.

Kick 'em out.

Oh wait! That's racist! A ban for me.

[Niall_Quinn]

A small price to pay to see those scumbags lose. Plus we robbed them big time with the Tommy deal, it would be a bit rude to double dip.

[Marc Overmars]

Rather see Buffon and Pirlo win it tbh.

Come on Juve!

Though I think Barca will win comfortably.

Pretty much.

Pirlo is the third most liked player in football history after Alexis and Cazorla.

Vidal to unveil his Arsenal contract during the celebrations.

Pirlo is the third most liked player in football history after Alexis and Cazorla.

Free pies?

[fakeyank]

Free pies?

I never got to taste the pie at Emirates.. the lines are too long, unless you leave around the 30th minute of the first half! LDG once went to get me one but he got me another beer instead! :lol:

[Xhaka Can’t]

LDG is a man who has his priorities all sorted out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chiellini is out.

Couldn't get a tetanus injection in time.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Kind of fell out of love with Pirlo a bit after he moved from Milan (my joint favourite Serie A side with Roma) and moved to the Old Lady, but certainly the catalyst for Italys World Cup win (along with Cannavaro) and Milans European cup wins in 2003 and 2007.
Definitely want Barca to win tomorrow night, the only positive id take from Juve winning is Gigi Buffon adding a European cup to his career, fantastic keeper and fantastically loyal club servant.

[Niall_Quinn]

Definitely want Barca to win tomorrow night

???

Why?

Can't be any rational explanation for wanting to see those cheating bastards win.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Cheating Bastards?

Calciopoli?

I prefer the way Barcelona play football, Juventus is as mentioned above corrupt even by Italian standards.

[GP]

I want Barca to win because Messi is impossible to dislike
