[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme is on for Barca vs Milan.

Jamie, Wilkins and Souness are in the studio.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pathis scored early on against Barca says Wilkins. Funny thing is, he said the name Pato only a few seconds before too. :lol:

Horrendous effort from Iniesta. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant tackle from Pique. Ibra airshot. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi shots, straight at Abbiati. Good counterattack though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi clears one for Milan! :haha:

Great pass from Cesc.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That was a sitter.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Barca!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Why did he pass it originally? :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mexes ballsed up giving Messi the ball, he runs in to the area, passes it to Xavi, who in turn passes to nobody. Messi wins it again and is then clipped.

Utter cock-up all round from Milan.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Messi!

He has his half century in the Champions League. Great knock.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seedorf is just brilliant.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 1-0 Marseille, Olic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Get up Cesc. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robinho. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi clips one near to Abbiati again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves activates Beast Mode, takes Abbiati out in the process.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Superb dummy from Seedorf to bamboozle Mascherano.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ambrosini. :haha:

As cynical as it gets.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves is terrible on setpieces. He's their Kolo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-1 Milan, Nocerino!

[Dennis Bendtner]

Fuck.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi shoots, Abbiati Hollywoods it away.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

There would have been no shootout before Milan scored :rolleyes:

[Cripps_orig]

Fuck yes

COme on AC

Hold on

Need to keep the ref quiet though

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 2-0 Marseille, Olic with his second.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tame shot from Cesc.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nesta booked

Another pelanty? :unsure:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Is that a pen? :unsure:

It should be.

And is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seedorf booked now. And yes another pelanty has been given. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Messi again.

[GP]

:woohoo:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Thank fuck.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Idiotic from Nesta really.

Clearly been taking notes from the Pulis book of defending.

[Cripps_orig]

What a fucking surprise

Something needs to be done about this. Too many times a ref has won Barca a game

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Pique, leave it for Valdes outside the area you berk.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi nearly shinned one in by accident.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Milan, dangerous area. Awful tackle from Xavi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That is utter shite from Ibra.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 HT.

The Laporta. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

American punditry :bow:.

Laying into Busquets for being a serial diver.

'Pizza Hut play of the half'.

"A fistful of jersey."

These guys are alswome. Well, apart from Warren Barton.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pizza Hut. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ibra and Robinho both go down in quick succession, nothing given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Barca, dangerous area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant effort from Xavi, only just wide.

[Cripps_orig]

Just seen why the 2nd penalty was given

:doh:

The ref has had a shocker.

**** defenders will do the same to Milan players in this very game and no penalty will be given. That is guaranteed.

Messi must be pissed off. To be demoted to 3rd best player in a world in a match he has scored 2 goals in

Messi :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 Iniesta! Messi's effort luckily broke to him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi chips one over. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seedorf off, Aquilani on.

Seedorf. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes denies Robinho! What a bottler.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi off, Thiago on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mascherano. :haha:

Rightly booked for that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thiago screws one wide. Brilliant play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Boateng off, Pato on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pique off injured, Adriano on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robinho booked. Pato had a good chance a minute ago but couldn't bring it down in the air quickly enough.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc hauled off, Keita on.

[Cripps_orig]

Cesc :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pato off injured. :haha:

Maxi Lopez on for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cuenca booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi and Abbiati both go for a cross, both end up sprawled on the floor. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss from Adriano. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Adriano :haha:.

It's so easy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes. :blink:

Nearly brainfarted Milan back in to this.

[Master Splinter]

Chaz Brett on Twitter: "Just pointing out that Peter Crouch has a better international scoring record than Messi.."

Ach finally signs up on Twitter.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 3-1 Milan, FT. Barca presumably will go on to face Chelsea. :popcorn:

Nocerino booked a bit before.

[GP]

Barca :bow:

The best in the world at what they do.

Never heard anyone who knows a thing about football say a bad word about them.

[Cripps_orig]

Ach finally signs up on Twitter.By speaking sense?

[Master Splinter]

Barca :bow:

The best in the world at what they do.

Never heard anyone who knows a thing about football say a bad word about them.

Always been a fan

Never seen them give a bad performance

[Cripps_orig]

Bayern v Real semi

Should be the final the world wants to see but one of them beating Chelsea would be decent

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's better to have the final the world wants to see as the semi-final, two games worth of it then.

Also, you've got to love RAWK:


We really ought to get back into the CL. The money it generates is disgusting.

Imagine if Barca spunked their cash and got Pepe, Lucas, Skrtel and Suarez from us. That's the spine of an all conquering team there. They would be unstoppable.

:bow:

[Master Splinter]

Has Wilkins seen Drogba play this season?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Has Wilkins seen Drogba play this season?

I would suggest not.

[Cripps_orig]

We all Chelsea fans tomorrow and in the semis then?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No.

[Cripps_orig]

Ah a Benfica fan then tomorrow and in the semis?

Fair enough

[Thierrymon]

It's better to have the final the world wants to see as the semi-final, two games worth of it then.

Also, you've got to love RAWK:



:bow:

Please tell me that is a jest. Actually its from RAWK so i know its not.

RAWK :console:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah a Benfica fan then tomorrow and in the semis?

Fair enough

Well tbf, so long as it isn't Chelsea, anyone can win it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Please tell me that is a jest. Actually its from RAWK so i know its not.

RAWK :console:

It's possibly my favourite website.

Chelsea are throwing themselves at everything already.

[Rors]

Jorge Jesus really looks like somebody. Maybe a pensive Ed Byrne...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a block by Capdevila to deny David Luiz. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Mata. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AVB sends one up in to the stands.

[Cripps_orig]

Forgot Aimar played for Benfica.

One of the many who have been touted the next Maradona just like Messi is now and failed just like Messi will

[Cripps_orig]

Terry, best player manager ever?

[Rors]

Big Man :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gaitan. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica, Honest Frank. :sick:

[Rors]

Nngh..

[Rors]

There's my first "Ah shut UP!" at the Tv screen of the night. Clive's "Drrrrrrives" did the trick.

[Rors]

Torres :lol: Just no lad, just no.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torres. :lol:

God knows how that managed to run through Benfica's defence though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

All of Benfica's players are getting booked. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 1-0 APOEL, Ronaldo.

[Cripps_orig]

1-0 Real

Best player in the world

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Straight in to the wall from Aimar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maxi Pereira sent off. :doh:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Well there goes the game.

[Cripps_orig]

Looked to me like he pulled out of the challenge

[dazthegooner]

Well Benfica will have to come from well behind now will suit Cashley...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramires booked. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torres. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Benfica, same area as the previous one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save by Cech to deny Cardozo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How the hell didn't Ramires score? :haha:

Utter cock-up by Witsel to allow Kalou a scuffed cross in the first place.

[Rors]

:pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cardozo goes for glory from 50 yards out. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great turn by Torres, shot blocked just wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mata shot, saved by Artur, Torres acrobatically clears.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cardozo off, Oliveira on.

[Rors]

Torres :haha: Now officially beyond parody.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mata fires one right across goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bruno Cesar off, Rodrigo on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djalo heads wide. Surely Benfica will get one goal tonight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kalou shoots, wide. :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

The finishing from both sides has been abysmal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oliveira shoots, Cech saves. Ivanovic does well to hound Rodrigo out of the follow-up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benfica find space all the time. Chelsea will get annhilated by Barca on this showing.

Real Madrid 3-1 APOEL, Ronaldo with his second.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Benfica, dangerous area.

Mikel booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mata off, Meireles on.

[Cripps_orig]

Ronaldos 2nd was a free kick

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi and Ronaldo are going to get well over 120 between them this season. :haha: They're already on 107.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 4-2 APOEL. :blink:

Callejon for Madrid, pelanty for APOEL, Solari.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Come on Benfica!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech. :haha:

What a wuss.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Meireles. :haha:

OMG.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oliveira goes for the audacious shot, should've passed. Chelsea are just shit.

[Cripps_orig]

Oliveira :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torres off, Drogba on.

[GP]

Come on Benfica!

Too little too late.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 2-1 Benfica, Meireles. :rolleyes:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Aww.

Safe to say he hammered that.

[Cripps_orig]

2-1 Meireles

3-1 on agg

Hope they fuck Barca up

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea through. They were really poor tonight.

[Rors]

Muh

[Cripps_orig]

Just seen that our game v Chelsea is sandwiched between their 2 games v Barca

Hope we dont injure any of their players.

[GP]

Chelsea through. They were really poor tonight.

God willing they get absolutely raped to bits by Barca.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

If they play anything like the way they did tonight, they will.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Big Man against Messi. Should be good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

God willing they get absolutely raped to bits by Barca.

That would be good. I think.

[Cripps_orig]

Big Man against Messi. Should be good.Whenever they have faced, Messi has been in Terrys pocket

Hope he is again

Come on Terry and come on football

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Just seen that our game v Chelsea is sandwiched between their 2 games v Barca

Fuck that who gives a shit about the chavs.

[Cripps_orig]

Fuck that who gives a shit about the chavs.All football fans tbh

[Olivier's xmas twist]

All football fans tbh

:haha:

Yeah thats why they majority want Barca to Tear then a new one.

[Cripps_orig]

:haha:

Yeah thats why they majority want Barca to Tear then a new one.Then quite clearly they arent football fans

[Dennis Bendtner]

Whenever they have faced, Messi has been in Terrys pocket

Hope he is again

Come on Terry and come on football

Nah. All JayTee will have is last-second hero blocks. Might have that goon Cahill next to him too. It's going to be carnage. Hopefully.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Bayern v Madrid
Chelsea v Barca

So long as Chelsea don't win it, :popcorn: all round I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"Congratulations to them from Chelsea". :haha: Chiles you tit.

[Cripps_orig]

Nah. All JayTee will have is last-second hero blocks. Might have that goon Cahill next to him too. It's going to be carnage. Hopefully.Cahill is pretty good tbh and for only £7m as well

Wenger :doh:

Just hope Chelsea can keep the referee quiet this time. Failed to do so last time and he won them the game. Do that and comfortable 3-0 on agg win imo for Chelsea and then on to the final where i hope they are royally fucked hardcore v Bayern or Real.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barca. :bow:

Got the ref to send Abidal off in order to give them an advantage.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mourinho doesn't think Chelsea will get through. Or at least he doesn't think it will be Real Madrid v Chelsea in the final. :lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Cahill is pretty good tbh and for only £7m as well

Wenger :doh:

:pal; if you think Chelsea will beat barca 3-0 never going to happen. did you not see the chavs tonight they were woeful and were lucky the team they faced where even worse.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Mourinho doesn't think Chelsea will get through. Or at least he doesn't think it will be Real Madrid v Chelsea in the final. :lol:

Jose playing mind games trying to rile uo the chavs so they bear barca so he won't be embarrsed in the final by barca.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Want to see what Puppet Di Matteo's reaction will be to a heavy defeat.

How good are Bayern this year? Good enough to beat Real? Robben in Messi mode or greedy balding twat?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Greedy balding twat but he's very dangerous with it. I don't think Bayern will have enough really; having said that, cleansheets have not been Real Madrid's watchword this year so going through on away goals is a possibility.

Ian McGarry has been embarrassing himself on 5live in his defence of Chelsea.

[Cripps_orig]

Jose playing mind games trying to rile uo the chavs so they bear barca so he won't be embarrsed in the final by barca.What?

[Cripps_orig]

:pal; if you think Chelsea will beat barca 3-0 never going to happen. did you not see the chavs tonight they were woeful and were lucky the team they faced where even worse.Watched the first half, got bored and started playing Virtua Tennis where i had an epic 5 setter against Roger Federer losing out 6-7 6-7 7-6 6-3 6-4

[Master Splinter]

Top Spin :bow:.

Virtua Tennis :bow:.

Mario Tennis :bow:.

All alswome.

Better than any footy game apart from ISS 64/98.

Tennis games :bow:.

Also, Aimar is a Must Get.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cripps. :lol:

The only one who loses five set epics to Fed these days.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Also, CL highlights on ITV1 now.

[Cripps_orig]

I even had a match point with a mini break in the 3rd set. A shocker from me tbh

Anyway back on topic

Highlights on ITV are on. Chelsea match up first

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Still you took him to the limit tbf.

The Madrid vs bayern semi seems like it will be the better one. Lets hope the winner of that wins thw whole thing.

[Kano]

The Madrid vs bayern semi seems like it will be the better one. Lets hope the winner of that wins thw whole thing.
as long as barca do the right thing by banging chelsea out of the competition and tiring them out in the first leg, that's all that matters. everything in place so far. tough call on the spurs/chelsea semi final though, whoever goes through will be favourite in the final - chelsea would be the lesser of two evils, as long as they finish 5th that is.

Couldnt care less about the FA Semi though

[Cripps_orig]

That 2nd penalty still looks as ridiculous as ever

[Marc Overmars]

Thought Chelsea were really average, my mate who's a fan really doesn't give them a hope against Barca. Very easy to see them getting pulled around with ease, their only hope really is if Barca have a massive off day in the first leg and they have a 2 goal lead to defend in the Nou Camp like Inter did.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kaka's goal was brilliant.

[Cripps_orig]

What a goal from Kaka

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo's second. Jesus wept. :blink:

[Cripps_orig]

Pleased Apoel got a couple of goals

What a fucking free kick from Ronaldo

[Cripps_orig]

Di Maria :bow:

Some great goals in that match

[Marc Overmars]

Di Maria :bow:

Some great goals in that match

Some would say they're the best in the world at what they do.

[Cripps_orig]

Apoels first was very good as well tbh

Anyway cant wait for the 2 Real v Bayern games and then a Real v Chelsea final

Tis the final the world wants to see with the Mourinho factor involved

[Olivier's xmas twist]

:haha: if you know thats shit, lets be real (no pun intended) Put you Bias to side everyone knows the final everyone wants to see is Barca VS Real nothing else.

[Cripps_orig]

What bias?

I dont support any of the 3 teams plus one ****s left in the competition

[Syn]

Flashy benders versus the ****s that be greasy
Rey-al Barca tis the final one wants to see.

[Kaiser]

Would like to see Bayern lift it in their own stadium. Also, they're the least ****ish of the four remaining sides. However, I also want to see Real kick lumps out of Barca but I guess there's another clasico left in La Liga for that.

[Ernesto]

Methinks Chelsea will beat Barcelona in the semi-finals.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nah.

[Cripps_orig]

Methinks Chelsea will beat Barcelona in the semi-finals.Lets hope so

[Cripps_orig]

Howard Webb is the ref for the Real v Bayern first leg

Headlines in Spain are


Headlines like ‘The controversial Webb in charge of Munich-Madrid’ and ‘The worst possible ref for Madrid’ dominated Spanish dailies.

[Master Splinter]

Webb :haha:.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Felix Brych to officiate Chelsea vs. Barcelona
By Liam Apicella, Staff Reporter
Filed: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 13:45 UK
UEFA have confirmed that Felix Brych will referee Wednesday's Champions League semi-final between Chelsea and Barcelona.

The German officiated Manchester United's away fixture with Otelul Galati earlier in the competition, where he opted to send off United skipper Nemanja Vidic.

Brych also took the decision to dismiss Peter Crouch during Tottenham Hotspur's 4-0 loss to Real Madrid last season.

Away from the pitch, the 36-year-old is a qualified doctor.

Interesting.

[Cripps_orig]

Any links to Barca?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

dunno, but he seems to have sent off Players in Enliish teams, so if chavs go in stupid like crouch did then they will have a few red cards.

[Cripps_orig]

Hope Laportas hasnt gotten to him already

But Laportas power is strong

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Hope Laportas hasnt gotten to him already

But Laportas power is strong

What makes you think Ambromvic has not bung him a few quidm he aint so sweet smelling either.

[Cripps_orig]

What makes you think Ambromvic has not bung him a few quidm he aint so sweet smelling either.Laporta has more influence

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Laporta has more influence

Nah he just plays the game better

Perez :pal:

[Cripps_orig]

Nah he just plays the game better

Perez :pal:Where did Perez come in to it? :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atkinson, Clatternburg and Webb are the officiating dreamteam tomorrow.

:bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Bayern Munich v Real Madrid Tue 17 Apr 19:45

Chelsea v Barcelona Wed 18 Apr 19:45

Come on Real and Chelsea

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Come on Bayern batter those boys, you know you want to lift that cup at home boys.

[Cripps_orig]

Dont really care who wins today.

The winner of this semi final should win the CL though. Would hate it, absolutely hate it if Chelsea won it and i hate Bar****s even more than them. They havent made up a word yet for how id feel if they won it again

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Dont really care who wins today.

The winner of this semi final should win the CL though. Would hate it, absolutely hate it if Chelsea won it and i hate Bar****s even more than them. They havent made up a word yet for how id feel if they won it again

Agree.

[Syn]

3-1 Bayern for tonight.

They'll be 3-0 up and Real Madrid will get one right at the end to give them some hope.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Would quite like Bayern to win it actually. Someone different than Barca.

Hopefully by humiliating Chelsea in the final. Proper humiliation.

[Marc Overmars]

Bayern to win tonight. 2-1.

[GP]

Chelsea in the final

:lol:

:lol:
Good point.

So long as Chelsea are utterly and mercilessly humiliated, I'm happy.
