Champions League Thread 2011/12

[Xhaka Can’t]

Tottenham:
Were 3rd in January, only 2pts behind Utd and City at the time, even in the whole 'Redknapp for England saga', they were 10pts clear of Arsenal, then 13pts when they went 2-0 up at the Emirates after 30mins. They lost 5-2 and their season imploded. ;)

I don't care.

This is about as sick as I have ever felt watching football.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Jack Wilshere ‏@JackWilshere
No matter what all the haters say! Footballing wise...John terry deserves that! For the career he has had.

What the hell is this?

I am disappoint.

Oh fuck of Jack you prick.

Ghel's will defend Ghel's tbh.

[AKBapologist]

I'd like to see just one journalist ("proper" national 'paper one, not a "biased" internet fan) have the balls and integrity to actually say Chelsea were frequently outplayed, lucky, undeserving winners.

Won't stop Joker, Zimm and others using it as yet another thing to beat Wenger over the head with.

Windshear has embarrassed himself tonight.

Time to end him once and for all.

I fear Satan's next target will be Germany at Euro 2012.

Fuck Germany. They're no longer German. The way Cashley and Fat Frank stuck them away, I think we've got half a chance.

Is it too late to unsign Podolski? Mertesacker can fuck off too. Gnabry, Eisfeld - all of them.

I think it's time to stop posting IMO.

Night all.

Imagine City spending another £100 million and seeing RVP/Clichy/Nasri lifting in next year ... :faint:

Jack Wilshere is certainly not endearing himself to Arsenal fans with his comments, but on the other hand what's he going to say JT is a nasty philandering ****, who prays upon young girls, makes racist comments towards fellow professionals and has frequently been the embodiment of why the average person on the street hates footballers.

Tbh I think he more or less is a City player. He won't win anything with us in the next 3-4 seasons, and probably won't be as much of a legend when mentioned alongside the Henry's / Pires / Bergy sort of players. He had one full season in 8 years , chances of him being injured next season ?

It's not as bad. For England he's likening the experience of playing in a technically shit team full of wankers whose only hope of winning is dumb luck and Satanic intervention. That's fair enough. And he's posting about himself and how he's going to achieve that shit at our club, not just how great those other ****s are.

Watching the game, I realized how much Bayern were playing like Spurs in the bad old days. Maybe this fan friendship wasn't such a good idea, our ar5e luck rubbed off on them.


We are speculating about who will come to us, but the best thing we can do this summer is, offload Harry Redkanpp, how can't you end above Arsenal with players like Modric, VDV, Bale, Defoe, what is wrong with redknapp, my lil sister would even end up third with our squad.

Unay Emery ended third with valencia and is fired because of his tactical mistakes, Harry buys players from 30plus wich are very expensive because they have huge wages and in italy or spain, the club would already have been bankrupt. He can't even end 3th, thats faking unbelievable, because if you can't do that this year, than it is never gonna happen, i Would say: Harry Out, only asking for players, never think about making players better. pfff what a shame

Spurs :pal:

[Syn]

What's Chelsea's game plan here? Play for penalties? Against Germans?

More importantly

From supposed title challengers to not even CL

Worst title challengers ever?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cheeky bid for Bale and Modric?

And Assou-Ekotto.

[Marc Overmars]

Yes, Bale can teach Theo how to punt and run properly. 10m + Park should do it.

[Master Splinter]

I don't think Robben has had enough abuse.

What a greedy piece of shit.

And Gomez.

Back to the Ryman's for him.

Taking Muller off as well?

As soon as he left the pitch the efficiency, the will to get the job done, typicalness and the reliable engine were all gone.

Bayern, quite simply, had a hollow cost.

[Cripps_orig]

I refuse to read anything about this match.

All i know is the score (1-1), scorers (Muller and Drogs) and Chelsea won on pens.

No idea who missed, no idea who dominated etc etc

As far as im concerned, this match means only one thing to me and thats the following

Spuds :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robben is an idiot. At least we knew Mario Gomez would miss a gabillion chances, Robben has the talent.

Beckenbauer, Hoeness and Rummenegge will shit on them. This rivals Neverkusen's season.

[Marc Overmars]

Gomez should kill himself. One of the worst individual performances I've ever seen. Forget about the wayward shooting, it was the pub team touches, not sorting his feet out and overall clumsiness. An absolute oaf.

40 goals?

WTF.

This sport is dead.

As I will be once the blood is drained.

[Cripps_orig]

Who were the pundits?

Please tell me Harry was one of them. Have we had any reaction from him as of yet?

Jamie would do. Was he gutted for his dad or elated for his fat cousin?

Glory Glory thoughts on this win?

Klose will surely still start ahead of him. Gomez needs to throw himself in a ditch, it'll take ten attempts of course but I have faith he'll get it right eventually.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has spoken of his regret at having missed a vital penalty in the Champions League final defeat to Chelsea on Saturday.The Germans were handed a massive opportunity to regain control of the match in extra time after Didier Drogba had fouled Franck Ribery in the box, but Robben's spot-kick was weak as Petr Cech dived to his left to save.

The Dutchman admits he is struggling to come to terms with not only the disappointment of Bayern failing to lift a fifth European Cup, but also the impact of his penalty miss, which he feels may have contributed to his side's eventual downfall.

"I can't describe how I feel with words, but it's been a terrible night," Robben said after the game.

"Two or three times you feel you have the cup in your hands [during the match] but at the end you stand with nothing."

"It wasn't a good penalty. I wanted to shoot the ball hard and high in the goal, but the ball didn't go high enough.

"It was a terrible penalty kick. After that, I still played well but you have to change your mindset at that point [of the penalty miss]."

Robben also revealed that Drogba and Uefa president Michel Platini had sent their commiserations to him in the aftermath of the penalty shootout, which ended 4-3 in Chelsea's favour.

"The fact that Drogba and Platini tried to cheer me up was nice, but it's worth nothing," Robben said. "I wanted that cup but it didn't happen." http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2914/champions-league/2012/05/20/3114686/robben-rues-terrible-missed-penalty-against-chelsea

Robben is an idiot. Wants to take basically everything. Producing rubbish corners, rubbish free-kicks and rubbish penalties. Genuinely, the Bayern front three is the opposite of efficiency and makes me puke.

1) Robben cuts in on his left and passes to Gomez who Bendtners it.
2) Robben cuts in on his left and passes it to the other team.
3) Robben cuts in on his left and Sneijders it into the crowd.
4) Robben goes on the outside, remembers he doesn't have a right foot and starts crying.

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has revealed he did not accept a Champions League winners medal because he did not feel like he deserved it. The Blues defeated Bayern Munich on penalties on Saturday to lift Europe's premier cup competition for the first time in their history.

However, the Belgian forward, who joined the club from Anderlecht last summer, was forced to watch on from the sidelines as his team-mates secured victory.

"I didn't deserve it. I would find it difficult to accept the medal. Maybe it's something for next year," Lukaku said to Het Nieuwsblad.

"After we won we kept smiling and dancing in the dressing room. Didier gave a speech. It was more beautiful than the title with Anderlecht."- Romelu Lukaku

"I've not even touched the cup. I don't deserve it because I was not on the list. I don't touch anything I don't deserve.

"That's why I also didn't touch the FA Cup. After we won we kept smiling and dancing in the dressing room. Didier [Drogba] gave a speech. It was more beautiful than the title with Anderlecht."

The 18-year-old also hit out at former boss Andre Villas-Boas, after the Portuguese left him out of the west London outfit's 25-man European squad prior to his sacking in March.

"But it's more than that. It was also the way he talked to me and how he handled me," he added.

"He was like that from the start. It was very strange. I can't take it when you act like that with me. He never told me why."

"Only Chelsea fans will be happy with this", said Cruyff in De Telegraaf.

"For the rest, nobody can be happy with the outcome of the Champions League final", he added.

"What especially bothers me is that a football team can forget everything and still win."

And on whether he would take the pure footballing approach even if it did not yield the Champions League title, Cruyff was clear.

"Then I’d choose to take the steps we take at Ajax, towards the football that we all want to see.

"And then if there’s no Champions League win? Better not to have the trophy in this way."

Chelsea will be in the books as winners of the Cl who will care how they played. Same as Barca last season, yes it was a better final and yes they played Beautiful stuff, but in 10 years time no one will care about the performances.

I wish Chavs played a better game as a Neutral and thats why i was a lil disappointed they pub teamed their way to the cup, but i guess its winning all that matters.

We could never do that, which is why we'd probs never win the thing till we can change the way we play for the occasion.

Sorry but people really will remember Barcelona's win with more general affection than Chelsea's. Just like Brazil's 1970 win will always have more praise given to it than say Greece winning the Euros in 2004. One of those is far more recent but it will not be look back on with the same fondness.

We like to believe that 'all the record books will say' but it's untrue. Wins are always given more context than purely that. History books would be two pages long otherwise.

I don't get the whole good football-trophy trade-off that some seem to think exists. Sure you can't play 7 up front but playing good football usually means you have a better chance of winning. Because it's 'good' football. Not morally 'good', good 'good'.

If your team has ability you have to try to play good football because it is your best chance of winning. If your team is full of 34 year old wrestlers, kick it to Dids. Chelsea didn't win any tactical war. They just got damn lucky that Bayern couldn't finish anything off.

I've got the stats right here: Bayern had 734 chances. Ribery had about 624 of them. Gomez and Muller had 110. Chelsea were getting battered. There's an argument to say they might've won it properly if they decided to have a go. But it's understandable they didn't because they are old and shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's true, there is a suggestion that if you can't play like Barcelona, that means you can only win like Chelsea. Another football anomaly.

The best example I can think of recently that has both those elements of style is Milan 06/07. Fuck you Inzaghi.

If we won the CL in the same manner as Chelsea, it'd mean we'd have spent a gazillion pounds having ****s like Drogba, Lampard and Cashley in my team that had enough power to sack a manager, and cheering on a racist scum of a captain as he lifted a CL. It depends who you talk to. If you think Chelsea fans don't care about what has happened to their team post-Ambrovich, you're only getting views from 14 year olds twitterers from Malaysia. A couple of Chelsea fans I know aren't happy about it compared to not long ago when they had Vialli, Zola etc. and have become disinterested now (in the same way a lot of neutral fans have).

Yes, I know the point was about style and by point is that Chelsea winning it had nothing to do with 'style' or lack of. The fact that their club isn't revered around Europe has nothing to do with their football and mostly to do with what they are, a billionnaire's penis extension. If they have any sense, that they probably do care about.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

No doubt but it irks me when it's suggested nobody will care (outside of Chelsea) when looking back on it. They will.

True you have a point and i think in 10-15 years when most think back about that game,they will see the final for what it was i guess. Though Chavs fans will see it different and fair play to them.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Even our run in 2005 was, I'm sure, pretty horrific for a neutral.

God how I miss the CL...

05/06 is seen by a few people in a similar vein to the Chelsea shitheap this year. I can only really remember Villarreal away in which we just didn't play.

Amazing thinking back about that clean sheet record.

I can't remember Villarreal away much but generally, we played some good shit. The clean sheets record and 0-0s were not the result of us playing defensively. Some of them were quite end-to-end and it was very frustrating to see so many chances being wasted.

I agree. I think we kind of pubbed the group stages (Bergkamp late winner against that epic pub team) but there were great games from then on. Apart from Juventus away - that was their fault for being genuinely crap. Both Real legs are good examples of what you say. But we tightened up at least and showed that 'cup adaptability' which hasn't really emerged since. I could never look at it in the same light as Chelsea though - not convinced they had any sort of gameplan and they really chanced it.

Even our run in 2005 was, I'm sure, pretty horrific for a neutral.

Obviously I thought it was brilliant (bar the SF 1st leg, I can't remember anything about it at all; even the 2nd leg was quite poor though tense as fuck).

I dunno, you had luck, obviously but you made an effort to go for the win first. I thought the 2-1 win against Juventus was pretty enjoyable tbf. Even though Carson had his customary fuck-up after making saves galore.

Oh and yes the 0-0 against Real Madrid was one of the best 0-0's I think there has been.

It's easy to draw tidy conclusions in hindsight but I think the main difference is not having a midfield that had so much energy and ridiculous workrate levels. Need some more runners - although, in theory, Ramsey, Walcott and Gerv could run all day. Maybe need to better the good/shit ratio as well.

That's true, Garcia :cloud9:. I did remember thinking we'd blown it when Carson screwed up. But then we also firmly parked the bus in Turin. The Leverkusen games were pretty standard.

Even we got bored of our Chelsea saga after a while though. Riise you idiot :fury:

Horrific is probably too strong a word.

Benitez did seem to have the CL sussed, phenomenal tactician... welcome back Rafa!!
