Champions League Thread 2011/12

Dear god if you guys can't work it out, UEFA are fucked.

Most of us can. :good:

But at least we are in a position to need to work it out. ;)

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

We will be.



One day.



In the future.



Maybe.

Perhaps - Kenny won't last forever so you might recover.

[Joker]

Yeah it looks like we will have to qualify if we do finish 3rd tbh. People on the Arseblog arses saying the same thing which makes sense.

So I guess we want Bayern to win the CL. :good:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Bloke from the Premier League on Twitter says 3rd place would not need to qualify should Chelsea win.

Wenger should email UEFA and ask. Prolly get fined, though.

[Syn]

Sky should ban Geoff Shreeves from covering the final. And then have his replacement tell him live on air.

We wont have to qualify for the CL if we finish 3rd

[Özim]

For all Barca's pretty football I think we've seen why this type of passing football isn't a great way to go, against teams who set themselves up correctly and are a bit more physical chances are few and far between.

Barcelona remind me of a better of what we were, even when they need a goal badly it's still cutesy passing that is largely ineffective in crowded areas, they are very one dimensional and against sides setup correctly that's a problem. Every time Barca play Chelsea they struggle to create and score goals, this goes back years now, even the year they won it with Iniesta's goal they struggled badly and got a lucky break with a wonder strike.

Barca are pass masters and the best at what they do, but the limitations are there for all to see, counter attacking football all the way for me!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Having read the rules there isn't anything mentioning the third placed side would need to qualify.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Well I guess we've cleared all that up then.

[Globalgunner]

Clear as mud

Alan Parry's usual hyperbole and Gary Neville making retarded noises. Yet I have this on repeat.

[Coney]

Having read the rules there isn't anything mentioning the third placed side would need to qualify.

No, but do the rules indicate that the fourth team must qualify - not 4th in the league, just the fourth qualifying team. And it won't be the FA's say so. UEFA give us 3 full slots and 1 slot in the play-offs. The FA cannot change that. UEFA would have to have a rule that if a team win the CL then if that country has a play-off slot, that will then become a full slot. And I would be surprised if they had.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

all this deabting and the chavs will go and bugger the final up lol.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did anyone know clubs have to pay an entry fee of 200 euros? :wacko:

No nothing about that, just that the lowest ranked Champions League qualifiers would be transferred to the Europa League (and we know that cannot be us if we finish third).

I don't get what's confusing. By lowest ranked Champions League qualifier, I mean in England's case, the team that finishes fourth would go to the Europa League. That's the only provision it states.

To be honest the guy is football fan first before a professional pundit, and that's why I think I've enjoyed his role at Sky this year.

Laporta I mean. The refs did there best tonight but ultimately they weren't expecting Torres to not be shit, all of a sudden.

[Cripps_orig]

You were the one going on about how Laporta would make sure Barca or C**** as you call them get to the final.And boy did he try, a red card and a phantom penalty given for nothing but he still failed and i have no doubt the refs family are being killed by Laportas minions as we speak for his failure today

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Did you not see what terry did, deserved his card.

Did you not see what terry did, deserved his card.Yes he did but the point is, everyone knew there would be a sending off for Chelsea regardless of if it was deserved or not.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

What?

Twas meant to be a joke.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

one thing, how good was the ref? i thought he was excellent. didnt fall for barca's diving and gave the correct free kicks when needed. only thing that was wrong was cesc's penalty but even that was given by the idiot behind the goal. red card was spotted, fair play.

lino's were excellent as well. all this crap about 'only experienced refs can take care of big games' rubbish. if you're good enough then you're capable. simples.

This.

Thought it was a poor game all in all. Once the chavs 1st goal went in you new what would happen.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Yes he did but the point is, everyone knew there would be a sending off for Chelsea regardless of if it was deserved or not.Yeh. I told my work mate who's a chav fan that they would loose one of drogba, lampard or terry tonight to a red card.

Wish I'd have put money on it now tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

Yeh. I told my work mate who's a chav fan that they would loose one of drogba, lampard or terry tonight to a red card.

[Marc Overmars]

After the game Shreeves interviewed Torres and said "Did you know that your team were going through even if you didn't score? Unfortunatley that means you're still a waste of money"

[Coney]

Yeh. I told my work mate who's a chav fan that they would loose one of drogba, lampard or terry tonight to a red card.

Wish I'd have put money on it now tbh.

Any of those 3 players in any game with a non-FA ref would have good odds on a red because of the way they play. All that says if you have some thugs in a team playing in a UEFA competition, there is a high chance of a red card. No brainer really. The only surprise for me this year was Stoke not having half of their team sent off during the EL matches.

[Niall_Quinn]

Didn't watch it. Both clubs too boring. Expected Barca to win by default but it sounds like they fucked up with the ref. Hard to believe they overlooked one of the fundamentals of their philosophy. Arrogance maybe? They won't be so quick to take the ref for granted next time.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Just watched the highlights, what was that twat Terry thinking?

He is such a cu#t -

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Funny how no one questions Barca not having a Plan B.

[Marc Overmars]

That's because they've won everything, several times. There has been nothing to question.

When plan A is so successful they don't need one.

Fact is, if Messi put that pel away then Chelsea are out.

So who are you then.Ach....:unsure:

[Cripps_orig]

So which of the 2 today are most likely to beat Chelsea?

[Syn]

Dunno.

I'm genuinely as neutral as they come for today's game. Would've slightly backed Bayern but Ribery's diving in the first leg got on my nerves.

I'm afraid to call anything against Chelsea now. Still a little shocked they got past Barca.

Hoping for a good game. Think we'll get one, too.

[Cripps_orig]

Think Bayern will score today

[Marc Overmars]

Hoping for a Real Madrid win. Not to say Bayern aren't quality because they are, but I think I would always back a Mourinho team to win a cup final. Plus the added spice of him coming up against Chelsea would make it pretty decent.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid: Casillas, Arbeloa, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo, Alonso, Khedira, Di Maria, Ozil, Ronaldo, Benzema.
Subs: Adan, Kaka, Granero, Fabio Coentrao, Albiol, Higuain, Callejon.

Bayern Munich: Neuer, Lahm, Boateng, Badstuber, Alaba, Gustavo, Schweinsteiger, Ribery, Kroos, Robben, Gomez.
Subs: Butt, Olic, Rafinha, Pranjic, Muller, Contento, Tymoschuk.

Referee: Viktor Kassai (Hungary)

Real Madrid have to snap out of their habit at home of conceding first, if only for tonight.

[Cripps_orig]

Good team there

Hope whoever wins wins the final

[Cripps_orig]

Anyone listening to 5live?

Pleat says Barca should have had a Crouch last night...

[Olivier's xmas twist]

So which of the 2 today are most likely to beat Chelsea?

Bayern easy and they have home advantage if that os not motivation to win the thing then i don't know what is.

[Cripps_orig]

Real Madrid make one change from the side that beat Barcelona on Saturday. Marcelo is in for Fabio Coentrao, who is one of four Madrid players a booking away from being suspended for the final, should they make it. The others are Gonzalo Higuain, Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos.

Only three players survive from the Bayern Munich team who beat Werder Bremen 2-1 at the weekend. They are goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, defender Luiz Gustavo and midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger. Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and Mario Gomez are amongst those returning. From the players in the starting XI, Philipp Lahm, Holger Badstuber, David Alaba, Jerome Boateng, Toni Kroos and Luiz Gustavo are all a booking away from potentially missing the final.

No bookings please

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Anyone listening to 5live?

Pleat says Barca should have had a Crouch last night...

No they should have had a quality striker last night it showed they needed it.

[Marc Overmars]

Bayern easy and they have home advantage if that os not motivation to win the thing then i don't know what is.

Or, if the chance to win 10 European Cups is not motivation then I don't know what is. Also in Mourinho's case, his 3rd with 3 different clubs.

[Dennis Bendtner]

No bookings please

:lol: good luck Ramos. And Alonso, for that matter. A reserves v reserves final would be interesting.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Or, if the chance to win 10 European Cups is not motivation then I don't know what is. Also in Mourinho's case, his 3rd with 3 different clubs.


Meh never knew now many times Madrid won it. But Bayern winning it at home in front of their fans seems like more motivation tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

ITV coverage has started

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pleat says Barca should have had a Crouch last night...

:lol:

Yeah because they wouldn't try and play in the same way if he was there.

Talking about the Chelsea game as expected

If anyone is not motivated to the maximum extent possible, they shouldn't be playing football.

No Chance as their President said they will continue to play that way.

All they may do diffreent is take a few more shots.

Still going on about the 'ghost goal'. :lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Did Geoff Shreeves tell you that.

Obviously both teams will be motivated but Bayern being at home should given then not only an advantage but more motivation to win it infront of their fans.

Im sure madrid will be motivated too for their owm reasons but it not being their home would be less on an advatage to them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"I was unlucky". Mourinho FC at any club. :bow:

[Dennis Bendtner]

I would get the popcorn out if Barca signed Heskey.

[Marc Overmars]

I would get the popcorn out if Barca signed Heskey.

He still probably wouldn't be able to score in that team!

[Cripps_orig]

These two sides have competed in 20 European Cup finals between them, and just take a look at the strength in depth they possess. Real can leave Kaka on the bench, a man who cost them over £50m and who has become the first athlete to go past 10m followers on Twitter, while Bayern can't get Thomas Muller in the team. The man who was top scorer in the last World Cup. Never mind Gonzalo Higuain, Fabio Coentrao and Ivica Olic:blink:

Who cares?

[Cripps_orig]

About to kick off :popcorn:

[Marc Overmars]

Cheeky £1er on Real to qualify with a 3-1 win.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Come on the-winners-of-this-game.

Neuer :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Khedira. He scored in the first leg apparently. :lol:

Khedira shoots straight at Neuer

Poor effort

Arbeloa with a clean challenge on Ribery

FK given

Barca may be out of the CL but Laporta lives on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Laporta's men not working today then ?

Be a true victory for football if Bayern come out of this with the win.

Depends on two things I reckon. If Ronaldo wins this competition and Messi doesn't break Gerd Muller's record. Portugal probably don't have too much hope of doing well.

[Marc Overmars]

Exactly what us neutrals wanted :popcorn:

Agreed. :popcorn:

Should've been another pelanty I thought. Thought there were two incidents. :lol:

[Syn]

This tournament's quite good when Barca aren't in it. Nice and end-to-end without one team bullying the opposition with 97% possession. :ninja:

Ah ffs, what a chance for Gomez. You've got to put that away!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema is going to shit on England with this form.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Depends on two things I reckon. If Ronaldo wins this competition and Messi doesn't break Gerd Muller's record. Portugal probably don't have too much hope of doing well.

What's Muller's record, is that goals in a season? I assumed they were both on track for something like that. Both ridiculous regardless, so dunno. Good point about Portugal. CL could be the deal-clincher. Especially if he scores in the final.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick from Ronaldo, easy for Neuer.

[Cripps_orig]

Neuer with a great save off Ronaldos free kick

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What's Muller's record, is that goals in a season? I assumed they were both on track for something like that. Both ridiculous regardless, so dunno. Good point about Portugal. CL could be the deal-clincher. Especially if he scores in the final.

Yeah 67 goals in a season is Muller's record. Ronaldo is 'only' on 56 for this season so unless he goes absolutely mental I doubt he will break it.

[Ernesto]

People who want Chelsea to lose and thats most of us would disagree.

Fair enough if you want them to win. Thats up to you

Seriously, pal, what IS your problem? Some of these comments you make are close to libellous.

[Cripps_orig]

Seriously, pal, what IS your problem? Some of these comments you make are close to libellous.:blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gomez could've hit that.

[Ernesto]

Now you pull a stupid face. Where have I said I want Chelsea to win the Champions League?

[Cripps_orig]

FK in a dangetous position for Real

[Cripps_orig]

Just too high for Ramos

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Bayern, dangerous area.

Pepe is an utter berk.

[Cripps_orig]

FK just outside the box for Bayern

Robben dive :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Casillas.

2-1 HT. Very good game.

[Cripps_orig]

Good save Casillas

2-1 HT

Great game

[Ernesto]

Come off Pepe's hand, then? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Was that handball by Pepe?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Much better than last night's game.

[Coney]

Was that handball by Pepe?

A Real player would never cheat or behave in any improper manner. :ach.gif:

[Syn]

Who do you reckon will get through from here?

Can't be more 50/50 than this. Real Madrid have the home advantage, but one goal from Bayern will mean Madrid need 2.

Can't call it.

[Ernesto]

Much better than last night's game.

It's a close call. But they've been two good semi-finals thus far.

[Marc Overmars]

That flew by.

Great game so far.

[Cripps_orig]

Much better than last night's game.Yup

[Cripps_orig]

Who do you reckon will get through from here?

Can't be more 50/50 than this. Real Madrid have the home advantage, but one goal from Bayern will mean Madrid need 2.

Can't call it.Whoever scores next will win

[Coney]

That flew by.

Great game so far.
Flew by for me too. Mind you, only saw the last 10 minutes of the first half.

[Cripps_orig]

A Real player would never cheat or behave in any improper manner. :ach.gif:It was accidental..

[Marc Overmars]

Who do you reckon will get through from here?

Can't be more 50/50 than this. Real Madrid have the home advantage, but one goal from Bayern will mean Madrid need 2.

Can't call it.

Madrid, just. Wouldn't be surprised if Bayern took it though.

[Coney]

Whoever scores next will win

Is this a new UEFA rule? :unsure:

[Cripps_orig]

Is this a new UEFA rule? :unsure:Pretty sure Laporta has enforced it already

[Coney]

Steh auf, wenn du für Bayern bist.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Di Maria is very annoying.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Did he just call Casillas, Neuer?

[Syn]

Real Madrid have been pretty lucky in hindsight. Very soft penalty (I wouldn't have given it) and Ronaldo is slightly offside for his goal.

Pepe and Terry would be an awesome CB pairing. Strikers would need to wear a rib guard.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robben missed so he tried scoring a goal by throwing himself in to it...

[Globalgunner]

Di Maria is very annoying.

Most annoying he seems to think the ball cannot be taken off him fairly, its got to be a foul. The shyster looks like an extra from Lord of the Rings

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Will Alaba be interviewed by Shreeves for Sky's coverage after the game?

[GP]

Real Madrid have been pretty lucky in hindsight.

That's what happens when you've got all the refs in the land in your pocket.

Most corrupt club around.

[Cripps_orig]

2nd half is about to start :popcorn:

More of the same plskthx

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema puts one right across goal.

[Coney]

Cmon you red men.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gomez heads just wide.

[Cripps_orig]

Gomez heads wide

[Dennis Bendtner]

Think Robben has another missed sitter in him. Something about Casillas haunts him.

Not far away from Gomez.

[Syn]

Gomes clears another one.

I know he scores a lot of goals but every time I've seen him (the number isn't trivial) he's been below par/rubbish.

Seeems very clumsy.

[Globalgunner]

Think Robben has another missed sitter in him. Something about Casillas haunts him.

Not far away from Gomez..

Robben is trying too hard. He needs to calm down, No point to prove, he could have been on a hattrick by now.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Kroos looks like another German Must Get. Been impressed.

[Marc Overmars]

Gomes clears another one.

I know he scores a lot of goals but every time I've seen him (the number isn't trivial) he's been below par/rubbish.

Seeems very clumsy.

The German Adebayor.

[fakeyank]

Very hard to support either one of the teams. I want Bayern to win the CL but I do not think they can beat Chelsea in the final and I dont want any London team to win the CL before us (which would be 2113). IMO Real is the team that can beat Chelsea but then I despise Mourinho and Madrid are just a lesser evil compared to Barca- a huge **** of a club still..

This is a hard decision! :oldboy:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Gomes clears another one.

Seeems very clumsy.

The Dzeko disease. I think he was as prolific in the Bundesliga.

[Cripps_orig]

Gomez has been the CLs best striker this season so its just not in Germany he comes up with the goods

[Syn]

The German Adebayor.

Good call. Useful, confident, spiderish, limited.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neuer just about saves Benzema's shot.

[Cripps_orig]

Neuer saves from Benzema

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gomez took too long.

[Cripps_orig]

Alex Kingsley on Twitter: "How Mezut Özil cost nearly £10million less than Jordan Henderson will never cease to amaze me."

Think of the resale value Alex. No?Kenny :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very cynical from Arbeloa. :lol:

Booked.

[Cripps_orig]

Arbeloa booked

[Dennis Bendtner]

Zzz Beglin with his usual trick of not realising the viewers can see the action too
