Champions League 2014/15

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I want Barca to win because Messi is impossible to dislike

Unless you're black or work in customs and revenues

[Marc Overmars]

Predictions then?

I'm going for 3-1 Barca.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi. :bow:

2-0 tbf to Barca.

[GP]

Barca win, Geoff.

[Niall_Quinn]

Unless you're black or work in customs and revenues

If you work in customs and revenues then you are also impossible to like. Coincidence.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cheating Bastards?

Calciopoli?

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

That's the wankers who run the club. Not the players. Barca players are diving, rolling, face holding cheating cunts.

If you're asking me which club owners I would like to win because they are decent then I have to say nobody.

Come on nobody!

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I just think that Juve is a tainted club which like most Italian clubs has a scumbag fan base, I don't hate the players who play for Man City just think they are playing for a club that has no class.

The simulation and feigning of injuries is pretty unsavoury but that kind of shit is endemic in European and South American
Football, they see it as gamesmanship.....and Barca with their talent don't need to do it.

If Barca were playing Milan I might feel inclined to support the Rossaneri but they aren't.

[Munchies]

Barca win 3-0

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/barcelona/11650005/Champions-League-final-Jose-Enrique-could-be-a-loser-for-Barcelona-whatever-the-result.html

Yeah he's better off losing the final.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jason Burt's view on Tevez:


Though recent performances have lacked their previous pizazz, you get the feeling that Sanchez could run riot here. A big-game player who never stops trying. 9

Win it for us Alexis!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme is on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Souness, Henry and Carragher in the studio.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Haha Souness with the banter - Henry was a shit striker.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Redknapp relegated to pitchside. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gary Neville harking back to 2008 for his analysis on what Tevez and Evra need to do. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Del Piero. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juventus: Buffon, Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Evra, Marchisio, Pirlo, Pogba, Vidal, Tevez, Morata.

Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Messi, Suarez, Neymar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi with the herp derp face there. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maradona. :lol:

What a fatty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Enrique, not Guardiola, Souness.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

At the risk of sticking my neck on the line this looks to me like a total mismatch, don't get me Wrong Juve have done tremendously well getting this far but I think this is going to make the FA cup final look finely balanced.

Or to use a much more grotesque analogy, this is going to make the brutal rape scene in the underpass in Irreversible look like gentle love making in comparison.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Del Piero. :bow:

Absolute love him, favourite Italian player of last twenty years

[Master Splinter]

Shame Chiellini is out for this. Not that Juventus are minnows, but why does the underdog team always suffer the major injuries? Satan is a predictable bastard.

Barca have less injuries than Chelsea. Vermaelen aside. :lol:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Not that Juventus are minnows

Aren't they?....I think you underestimate how far Italian football has fallen

For me one of the weakest teams to make the final since Bayer Leverkusen

[Master Splinter]

Gary Neville harking back to 2008 for his analysis on what Tevez and Evra need to do. :wacko:

Singular frames of reference :bow:.

Lack of research and knowledge :bow:.

The bare minimum :bow:.

We don't know much about them despite them being amongst the most celebrated teams and players in the world :bow:.

British football punditry :bow:.

Also, remember that one time a decade ago when Everton caught Arsenal on the break which has never happened to any other team in history?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Song in the studio for ITV. :haha:

Scholes and Dixon too.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Tbf they wanted Abidal.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Don't be silly we could win the treble and they'd still say we lack a spine

Treble winning Jellyfish!

[Master Splinter]

Aren't they?....I think you underestimate how far Italian football has fallen

For me one of the weakest teams to make the final since Bayer Leverkusen

Well, they're definitely not minnows.

The front three makes all the difference for Barcelona. I think Pogba needs a good game with some control and discipline, or they'll get cut through easily.

I'm thinking 2-1 to Barcelona.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tbf they wanted Abidal.

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

McNumpty's contribution as chief football writer:



Phil McNulty
BBC Sport chief football writer in Berlin

"Last time I was in Berlin's Olympic Stadium, Colombian pop songstress Shakira was also here and gave a stirring rendition of her haunting - and not in a good way - hit 'Hips Don't Lie' before Italy's World Cup final win against France in 2006.

"She is here again tonight but this time it is a family matter as she is here to provide support for her partner, Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, in the Champions League final."


http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/75507000/jpg/_75507994_mc.jpg

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That is some Grade A analysis and exactly what I expect to see from a chief football writer.

Just like Martin Samuel.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Remember when we didn't know what Scholes sounded like?

I miss those days.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Scholes, Alex Song and Dixon in the ITV studio. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi = moody.

Rooney = you can't take the attitude away from him, he'd be half the player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Beastie Boys. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Come on Juventus :scarf:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Do they have to lift that trophy up in the stands?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Does Messi enjoy occasions like this, Thierry?

:wacko:

[Globalgunner]

Do they have to lift that trophy up in the stands?

Nah, That one belongs to John Terry

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Champions League music. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nah, That one belongs to John Terry

Big Trophy for Big Man.

[Globalgunner]

Come on Juventus :scarf:.

You still on those Meds, I see.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gary Neville not commentating on the final?

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barca pubbing it up at the back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mascherano. :lol:

Dear me.

[Globalgunner]

Gary Neville not commentating on the final?

:haha:

Spare a thought for us. We have David fkn pleat

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juventus 0-1 Barcelona, Rakitic!!!

All started from Messi's Hollywood passing.

[GP]

Amazing

[Globalgunner]

Rakitic,!!!!!!. Iniesta is a football God

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar appealing for handball, nothing given.

Stevie Me(ssi). :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar goes for it himself, out the stadium it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vidal the scrote booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a pass from Messi, well I suppose it was a crap one really given Neymar managed to miss it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Buffon saves from Dani Alves!

Juve clinging on grimly.

[Globalgunner]

Barca could be out of sight already, but Neymar is the weak link

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vidal should be off. Berk.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Vidal a must avoid tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jordi Alba skies from the set-piece routine!

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Vidal should be off. Berk.

Allegri needs to take him off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vidal getting embarrassed by Dani Alves.

And everybody else in truth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yes Messi has fears from Evra in 2008. Like in 2009 and 2011.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tevez tries to do something but ends up drifting the ball wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Decent chance for Morata, puts it way wide from where he was.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marchisio smashes it in to the stands. Foul had already been called I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar shoots, easy for Buffon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pogba was fouled there surely?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Pogba was fouled there surely?

On second glance no he wasn't

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez with the outstep, not far wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible pass from Neymar, Messi would have been in.

Old Man Buffon saves from Suarez!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pogba booked.

Juve are a bunch of scrotes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves passing to absolutely nobody.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Signing for Arsenal has turned Vidal's mind to jelly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Buffon nearly ruined it all there.

[Globalgunner]

Either Pogba or Vidal will likely get a red in this game

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi nearly shat on them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juventus 0-1 Barcelona, HT.

No added time. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Not even a contest tbh.

Messi to comb in a couple in the 2nd half to seal it.

[GP]

Wait...

Are the players coming down on an escalator?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar doing up his laces whilst sat on the escalator. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez goes for goal, Buffon saves again.

Should have FIFA'd it to Messi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez wants the glory.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi wants the glory this time but great football though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juventus 1-1 Barcelona, MORATA!!!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

lol Barca. They should have had this won already. :lol:


Could have used an Alexis screamer about now. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta with the idea, Messi isn't that quick though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Appropriate time to bring in Jamie Redknapp?

No it fucking isn't.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Tevez, blew that one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pogba shot, straight at Ter Stegen.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Barca only have themselves to blame, should have been out of sight in this match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vidal. :haha:

Thug.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juve appealing for a pelanty, again nothing given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juventus 1-2 Barcelona, Suarez!

Messi made it.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

2-1 Suarez! Game perked up second half

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez booked.

[GP]

suarez has really given this side some bite ahaha bite get it?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar disallowed goal for handball!

:haha:

Cunt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ter Stegen nearly dropped the Ashes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Barca, dangerous area.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Neymar does love a good roll around.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi freekick, not really close.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta off, Xavi on for his farewells.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What is Ter Stegen up to?

Pogba heads over anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vidal off to sign the paperwork, Pereya on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi pub. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great pass from Rakitic to Pique, Pique with a pass to Shakira.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Pique :haha::haha:


Time to bring on Vermelean.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Alves literally just collapses to the ground and gets a free kick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Morata off, Llorente on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez. :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Pereyea!!! Dropped the Ashes!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Evra down now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ter Stegen saves from Marchiso's deflected strike.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five added minutes!

Moggi. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rakitic off, Mathieu on.

[Globalgunner]

Dracula off. Pedro on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves. :haha:

Is now really the time?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juventus 1-3 Barcelona, Neymar!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juventus 1-3 Barcelona, FT!!!

Barca win the treble for the second time and the European Cup for the fifth time.

Vermaelen. :bow:

Messi. :bow:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Don't they still need to kick off again to officially end it?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Most importantly, an extra 3 million for us thanks to TV5.

Wenger :bow:

Dick Law :bow:

Gazidis :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Hang on... Pixels looks like a carbon copy of Anthology of Interest II.

Oh yeah, and Patrice :pal: Suarez certainly knew you were there... as he raced past you to score.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Ter Stegan's English is better than Rooney's.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Fuck off Platini :angry:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That '100% Jesus' is waiting to be photoshopped.

[GP]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jamie Redknapp: The way Barca play is unique, they've transcended the game.

Literally a few seconds later.

Jamie Redknapp: Juventus are trying to play that way too, playing out from the back. Other teams try also.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why does he do that, Thierry?

He told you in the fucking interview Sky screened earlier you meffs!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They have a transfer ban as it stands...

They can't improve on any of the players they have.

[Marc Overmars]

BT Sport are going to charge an extra £5 a month if you want to watch their CL coverage next season. Also, Gary Lineker is going to be their CL host. :lol:

No more live CL football for me for the next 3 years. :rose:

Though in all honesty aside from our games I've barely watched the competition over the past few seasons, can't say I'll miss it too much.

[Niall_Quinn]

BT Sport are going to charge an extra £5 a month if you want to watch their CL coverage next season.

Provided the unauthorised pirates can stay one step ahead of the authorised pirates footie will remain free and Sky and BT can do one.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I think BT are going to have a free-to-air channel next year, which will have 1 game per week. And ITV will have the highlights. So in effect, no change.

[Niall_Quinn]

So no MOTD? We get the hateful, hateful ITV and their shitty, shitty, adverts instead?

[Xhaka Can’t]

A fiver a month, just for CL?

No thanks.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Fiver a month?

Wankers

Bless those foreign internet streams that makes purchasing this package unnecessary

[Xhaka Can’t]

It is free if you have BT TV. I know of one person that actually has this.

[Syn]

I was getting it free with BT broadband, but if I have to pay an extra £5 a month I'll tell them to fuck off. And then I'll pay the £5 a month. Football innit. Need it.

[Marc Overmars]

I'm not going to bother with it. I'll just hope 1 or 2 of our games are on the free to air channel, or better yet, I'll attend the 3 home group games.

Can't say I'm really arsed about the CL, I'd be a little bit gutted if Sky lost the bulk of their PL games though, but that will never happen. It would destroy them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This sucks.

I don't know whether to BT it up or not, missing the CL would be quite, quite shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

I was getting it free with BT broadband, but if I have to pay an extra £5 a month I'll tell them to fuck off. And then I'll pay the £5 a month. Football innit. Need it.

I may take the same stand as you. If they think I'm just going to pay up the £5 without a good moan they have another thing coming!

[Master Splinter]

Shakhtar beat Fenerbahce 3-0 in the second leg and knock them out of the CL.

RVC :haha: :haha:.

What a moron :haha:.

Celtic drew 0-0 against FK Carrier Bag to come through 1-0 on aggregate.

[GP]

lololololololol

looooooool

[Heisenberg]

:haha:

[Xhaka Can’t]

I decided to part with the fiver. Not really arsed about the CL, but it is on at times when there is fuck all else to do but watch tv.
