Champions League Thread 2011/12

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Serie A is back :bow:
:gp:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Big Man. :lol: Sat between two black guys. PR you say?

Lavezzi off,

Big Man :pal:

[Marc Overmars]

Thought Chelsea were going to pub team one in there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cleared off the line by Cashley! Maggio should've put it away.

[Rors]

Off the line. That could come back to haunt 'em. Nice bit of Hollywood-ing too Cashley...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamsik off. :bow: Pandev on.

[Marc Overmars]

Great play, should have been 4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gary Neville basically saying, apart from Napoli's best players they aren't very good. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Smurf balloon. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drogba. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lampard went for the wondergoal. :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 FT. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Surely the end for AVB?

Can we swap managers? :pray:

[Marc Overmars]

Still do-able for the chavs but they'll need to defend a lot better.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Still do-able for the chavs but they'll need to defend a lot better.

Nah, I don't think they have a hope in hell of keeping a clean sheet thus they'll probably go out.

[Rors]

"This Napoli team are no better than anything Chelsea face week in week out" :rolleyes:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Still do-able for the chavs but they'll need to defend a lot better.

Nah their will be no English teams in the 1/4 finals in the Cl this year, 1st time in ages that has happend Uefa must be so happy.

[Marc Overmars]

"This Napoli team are no better than anything Chelsea face week in week out" :rolleyes:

Big fan of Nev but he's had a shocker there.

Napoli would wipe the floor with the pub teams the Prem has to offer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"This Napoli team are no better than anything Chelsea face week in week out" :rolleyes:

Gary Neville has been Sky'd. "this is not a great Napoli team". Yeah this is clearly a stunning Chelsea team.

[Rors]

+1-age :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jamie. :haha:

Got as far as Messi in naming other talented Argentine players. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Levante was up front for Napoli according to Souness.

[Cripps_orig]

A whole team upfront?

No wonder they won

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

Goals from Real Madrid's game is on in a minute.

[Cripps_orig]

Its the first Real CL match ive missed this season

And they dont win.

They should pay for my Sky as i seem to be their lucky charm

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Callejon is great. He's Spanish too. The fuckers.

[Master Splinter]

I hope Lumps plays the second leg and they get thrashed.

Then AVB hands in his resignation.

[Coney]

I hope Lumps plays the second leg and they get thrashed.

Then AVB hands in his resignation.

And we win our match.

We only (!) have to be 4-0 at full time. Then it's "up for grabs". I'm sure the team will be up for it. What can go wrong?

[Cripps_orig]

We have to be 2-0 minimum at half time to stand any chance

I can see us scoring 2.

I can see us conceding

We're out

[Marc Overmars]

We will win the match 2-0.

[GP]

4-1

[Coney]

4-1That would be the most painful, especially if it was 4-0 at 89 minutes.

[Syn]

In an ideal world, we'd chuck some kids on, rest Van Persie and whatever other key players we have left and just bend over. But we'll probably end up trying because of the fear of our fans calmly voicing their discontent at the final whistle in a civilised manner.

[Coney]

If we were 4-0 at full time (OK, OK) then I think we would be in good shape to go on and win the tie. AC Milan might do another Istanbul (or almost Newcastle-Arsenal) and after a big lead halfway through, allow the other team to draw level, killing the confidence and panicking to defeat.

[Syn]

I'm not willing to take that risk. We should try to go 9-0 up just in case.

[Marc Overmars]

It will be a strange atmosphere, especially if we aren't at least leading at HT. If it becomes evident that we don't even have a 2% chance, then the players better not misplace any passes because they'll be gassed otherwise.

[Coney]

In an ideal world, we'd chuck some kids on, rest Van Persie and whatever other key players we have left and just bend over. But we'll probably end up trying because of the fear of our fans calmly voicing their discontent at the final whistle in a civilised manner.

Oh - I'd play the kids. We are written off, no-one expects us to go through, Wenger's first choice players are dead or just drifting and the youngsters would at least have a go. And the Meeeeeeelan people would not have a dossier on how they play so they would be lesss prepared. (I think that was why we used to do OK in the first few rounds of the CC, playing 'who the fuck is that' in the midfield).

[Coney]

I'm not willing to take that risk. We should try to go 9-0 up just in case.

Don't be ridiculous - 9-0? It will be 8-0 tops.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme starts in a minute.

Basel vs Bayern Munich is on SS2.
Marseille vs Inter is on ITV1.

[Marc Overmars]

Wonder what Shaqiri will do against his future club. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You'd think Napoli had scored their three goals before Cashley came on the way Wilkins speaks. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Becker and Federer interviews. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Wonder what Shaqiri will do against his future club. :popcorn:
Basel attacker Xherdan Shaqiri is eagerly anticipating the first leg of his side's Champions League round of 16 tie at home against Bayern Munich.

The Switzerland international, who will leave his current club to join the Bavarians at the end of the season, feels that the Bundesliga giants are favourites to progress as he considers them to be the best club in Germany.

"Bayern are the favourites, they will come to Basel to win. They will play very differently from how they recently did in Freiburg. Bayern are, and for me remain, the best club in Germany," Shaqiri said to Bild.

The winger recently spoke with Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes on the phone and did not let the opportunity to discuss Wednesday's encounter pass by.

"I asked Mr. Heynckes: 'Will you not be mad at me if I score a goal against Bayern in the round of 16?' He laughed and then made a joke about it. It was a very nice conversation."

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jim Beglin and Peter Drury are commentating in that one. :sick:

[Master Splinter]

Household names.

I've never fully realised quite how stupid that term is.

[Master Splinter]

Jim Beglin and Peter Drury are commentating in that one. :sick:

They're spectacular compared to Titsley and Taaaaaaaansend tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Sommer to deny Ribery!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They're spectacular compared to Titsley and Taaaaaaaansend tbf.

A commentary team for all of Africa!

[Rors]

Dream combination!Dream combination!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great ball in to Shaqiri, should've been a goal for Basel really.

[Marc Overmars]

Anyone watching ITV1? I am just so I can laugh at them pretending to know what they're talking about.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sommer denies Ribery again! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neuer denies Dragovic with a brilliant save of his header on to the post and just bounces back across the line! Brilliant start to this game.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Anyone watching ITV1? I am just so I can laugh at them pretending to know what they're talking about.

In bits and bobs, the game is boring, the commentators Annoying, and why is the staduim not that full up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Alex Frei has smashed the bar!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robben. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very good save from Sommer to deny Alaba's shot.

[Cripps_orig]

This new BBC update, does it update itself or do we have to refresh?

Cos they are still on the team line ups on mine

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's updating for me. Refresh it and see what happens.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good clearance by Gomez.

[Cripps_orig]

Apparently Djimi Traore is on the bench for Marseille

Legend :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT in both games.

[Cripps_orig]

Is it just me or has interest in the CL died a bit on here?

[Marc Overmars]

Is it just me or has interest in the CL died a bit on here?

Yeah, what possible reason could people have for losing interest...

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Yeah, what possible reason could people have for losing interest...

The competion is shit

[Cripps_orig]

Yeah, what possible reason could people have for losing interest...But we've been shit for a while in the CL and people still watched and posted about other games.

Other than Maccy who shouldnt be counted cos he watches every match possible, its pretty dead

[Cripps_orig]

The competion is shitCompetition or football in general?

There was a time where id have watched both the Man City game and the Inter game today.

Not seen either and not interested in the weekend league games either

[Olivier's xmas twist]

But we've been shit for a while in the CL and people still watched and posted about other games.

Other than Maccy who shouldnt be counted cos he watches every match possible, its pretty dead

No one really cares about the CL till the 1/4 - 1/2 finals tbh. and even last years Semi or the mancs vs the Germans was a bore fest.

[Marc Overmars]

But we've been shit for a while in the CL and people still watched and posted about other games.

Other than Maccy who shouldnt be counted cos he watches every match possible, its pretty dead

Dunno, maybe everyone is out, Orange Wednesdays tbf.

[Marc Overmars]

No one really cares about the CL till the 1/4 - 1/2 finals tbh. and even last years Semi or the mancs vs the Germans was a bore fest.

Half finals. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

No household teams playing today tbf.

No English teams to :haha: at either, which is the best reason to watch football these days.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Competition or football in general?

There was a time where id have watched both the Man City game and the Inter game today.

Not seen either and not interested in the weekend league games either

Football tbh, me the cl has been dire for sometime, (not because were shite in it) But i don't get that excitment with it any more. I used to enjoy it from the group games till the final. Not anymore. I even thought the Atmosphere in last seasons final was not that great for a CL final.

You can't tell me how poor football has gotten was not a factor in you getting rid of sky sports.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No one really cares about the CL till the 1/4 - 1/2 finals tbh. and even last years Semi or the mancs vs the Germans was a bore fest.

Or we just don't have a very big forum.

Anyway, this obsession with a particular brand of 'excitement' has come from the brainless pace at which the Premier League is played.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Bayern Munich, right on the edge of the area. Abraham booked.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Or we just don't have a very big forum.

Anyway, this obsession with a particular brand of 'excitement' has come from the brainless pace at which the Premier League is played.

True and the new 2nd round format don't help either, such an epic fail tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another good save by Sommer, this time to deny Lahm.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ribery hauled off, Muller on. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sommer denies Gomez again. :lol:

Muller booked. :doh:

[Cripps_orig]

Infostrada Sports on Twitter: "With Nagatomo on for Maicon, none of Inter's players now on the pitch have scored a goal in 2012 in all 10 matches in all comps."


Ranieri :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dragovic just got kicked in the head. :sick:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Ranieri :lol:

We really should have finshed second on our group lol

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shaqiri off, Zoua on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Basel 1-0 Bayern Munich, Stocker!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

FC Hollywood. :haha:

[Rors]

The sound is annoyingly ahead of the picture, too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marseille 1-0 Inter, Ayew!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 FT.

Ranieri. :wave:

[Rors]

"Thank heavens for that(at not ending 0-0)". For the love of God Chiles!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi's warm up. :haha:

WTF?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Roberto Martinez and Southgate are in the studio.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"The director of football" - yes he has a name Chiles, it's Rudi Voller.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

"The director of football" - yes he has a name Chiles, it's Rudi Voller.
Director of Sport wasn't it? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Director of Sport wasn't it? :lol:

:lol: Probably. I got excited in his stupidity.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Wenger thinks Messi is the best player of all time :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I bet he'll come up with a story about how we nearly got him.

[Coney]

I bet he'll come up with a story about how we nearly got him.

We did, but then he decided that Chamakh was going to be cheaper.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I suppose he was right.

Freekick to Barca, dangerous area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi hits the wall. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc. :lol:

Awful pass.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant save from Leno to deny Messi. And the block from Castro to deny Pedro.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rolfes booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

APOEL 1-0 Lyon, Manduca!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta. :lol:

Pub team control there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Faint header by Pique, Leno saves.

Townsend. :haha:

Pique is about 6'4".

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

FFS.

The Vessi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barca 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen, Messi. What. A. Chip.

[Syn]

:lol:

Lovely finish. Perfect ball from Xavi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor old Cesc, he's too slow to press so Dani Alves takes over despite being 10 yards behind him to start with.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Was that Adriano? Whoever it was, that was a ridiculous pass to Messi.

[Syn]

That was the best pass I've seen in a long time by adriano. Incredible to thread it through like that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi. :lol:

He's the new Lampard.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Messi, he's ridiculous. Cesc was just used by him as a wall. :lol:

Iniesta for the preceding run though. :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:haha:

Just insane.

[Syn]

Wonderful goal.

Iniesta is quite good, in fairness.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta. :wacko:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Messi :bow: best in the business tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 half time.

Leverkusen. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi is only a few goals away from being Barcelona's record goalscorer. At 24.

[Marc Overmars]

Messi is only a few goals away from being Barcelona's record goalscorer. At 24.

:wacko:

[Syn]

Shame that it's so predictable that they'll win the CL. No-one can stop them unless Iniesta, Xavi have off days. We had a pretty good go last year and got them worried. Realistically Real Madrid are the only team that are capable. Would've liked to see man utd have another go - see what fergie could change from getting violated in the final last year.

[Syn]

Right. Come on Germans, let's have some violence. Take your frustrations out. Alves, Cesc and Busquets.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's the key really. Actually, I think they only need Iniesta to play well and the opposition will get annihilated.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ITV4 programme about Messi on tonight at 10. Hmmm, not sure what exactly they can show, unless it's a debate I suppose.

[Syn]

Oooh, is that messi documentary new? Just been advertised to show at 10pm on itv4 tonight.

Edit: I guess it is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc. :lol:

What a bottler.

Messi. :bow:

[Syn]

Cesc misses a great chance. Passed up the opportunity in the most unLampard like fashion. Don't pretend to be a footballer, Cesc. Just hit it hard and low.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0. Messi hat-trick. FFS.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Got to be kidding. Best one yet.

[Syn]

Christ

[Marc Overmars]

What the hell.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Mess is Boss( could be my new username too) lol.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He'll surely beat the record for most Champions League goals in a season this time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta off, Tello on.

Xavi off, Keita on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bender off, Schurrle on.

Derdiyok off, Bellarabi on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 Barca, Tello. :bow:

They've definitely shat out another one with him.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Oh brilliant they've found another one. :rolleyes:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Hope they win the thing tbh.

[Syn]

Is this another one they've shat out? Oh do fuck off.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Is this another one they've shat out? Oh do fuck off.

Meh we got Wilshere tbf.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Stop scoring!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-0, Messi with the quadtrick again.

Not sure how.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

5-0 Mess :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

More importantly, whats the Lyon score?

[Syn]

Meh we got Wilshere tbf.

And we've Fritzl'd him. <_<

[McNamara That Ghost...]

More importantly, whats the Lyon score?

1-0 to APOEL. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

6-0, Tello with his second. :haha:

[Syn]

This goalkeeper is absolutely shit.

Fucking siv.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That one was just poor goalkeeping.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adriano off, Muniesa on. Not heard of him before.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Our goal deficit record is under threat here...

[Olivier's xmas twist]

This goalkeeper is absolutely shit.

Fucking siv.

and he knows it lol

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Much better from Leno.

[Syn]

I wonder how people in Spain feel about Barcelona (relatively) struggling in the league. In England we think of the league as more important here than the CL. And certainly from my perspective, I think the league is always the best measure of how good a team is than cup competitions. But I get the feeling the CL is, by far, more important than La Liga. Or else a bigger deal would be made of Mourinho and Real Madrid's performances this season. As an outsider, the only thing I've read is how Real Madrid always lose to Barcelona in head-to-head meetings and so the league doesn't matter.

I think it has, conveniently, worked out well for both clubs this season. Barcelona will (probably) take the CL and the head-to-head meetings and they'll claim to be the best. And Mourinho will leave claiming he won the league comfortably and so his job is done.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

7-0, Messi with his fifth!

[Dennis Bendtner]

:haha:

I think that's probably right. It's not just winning the Champions League that would keep Barcelona in the same breath (of being the best), it'd be that they had done it back-to-back. I think La Liga does have importance though, Barcelona are still many behind Real Madrid's total!

[Cripps_orig]

What a shit couple of days football wise

[Syn]

Commentators talking about the international record :lol:

He's the greatest ever. No doubt about it IMO.

Think for the neutral it would be a good think to make the league better, because maybe them always winning it is boring. However in the CL imo they are the best team and rightly favourites tbh.


For Barca fans they'd be pissed but not too much if they won the cl. Jose not winning the CL is a bigger disater then Barca not winning the league.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tello should've got his hat-trick.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

What a shit couple of days football wise

Nah its been good.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Club form's all well and good. Let's see what he does at the Euros.

[GP]

Commentators talking about the international record :lol:

He's the greatest ever. No doubt about it IMO.

Yep. There's no doubt he's the best in the world today. And you're right, best ever.

[Syn]

Tello :lol:

He has failed the test.

He must be exterminated.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Tello :lol:

He has failed the test.

He must be exterminated.
Or even worse, sent to England.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barca 7-1 Bayer Levekusen, Bellarabi. Good goal.

[Cripps_orig]

Nah its been good.Arsenal being knocked out and seeing a a Pub Team german team in the CL makes a mockery of the competition is hardly good

Time for champions only

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal being knocked out and seeing a a Pub Team german team in the CL makes a mockery of the competition is hardly good

Real Madrid to voluntarily drop out then?

7-1 FT. :lol:

[Syn]

Jose not winning the CL is a bigger disater then Barca not winning the league.

Not sure either is a disaster but it's a good way of putting it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

APOEL vs Lyon is going to extra time. :popcorn:

[Cripps_orig]

Real Madrid to voluntarily drop out then?

7-1 FT. :lol:Starting from next season tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Starting from next season tbh

Barca would just qualify through winning it this year tbf.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Arsenal being knocked out and seeing a a Pub Team german team in the CL makes a mockery of the competition is hardly good

Meh we were out before yesterday so not really a big deal and it was good to see Barca, they were fab, they can only beat whats in front off them.

If that was Madrid you'd have spalffed you pants and gone on about how great they are.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Nah its been good.

Like your face!

[Cripps_orig]

Barca would just qualify through winning it this year tbf.True but it'd stop Pub Teams being in it.

Well in the last 16

[Cripps_orig]

Meh we were out before yesterday so not really a big deal and it was good to see Barca, they were fab, they can only beat whats in front off them.

If that was Madrid you'd have spalffed you pants and gone on about how great they are.Not what you were saying at half time yesterday

Why would i? I dont support Real

[McNamara That Ghost...]

True but it'd stop Pub Teams being in it.

Well in the last 16

I'm not sure it would, not when you see the opposition teams used to face at that stage in years gone by. And indeed, in the final.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Not what you were saying at half time yesterday

Why would i? I dont support Real

Don't think i ever said we'd go on and win that game, i knew they could score and we'd be out simple as.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on APOEL. HT in ET.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yossi Benayoun ‏ @YossiBenayoun15

Messi can score when ever he want..what a player..

Thief.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Fucks sake he was better on the ball at that age than most of our team now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bastos shot deflected over and out for a corner.

[Syn]

Thief.

Jack Wilshere ‏ @JackWilshere

Its a pleasure to watch this guy........MESSI

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fucks sake he was better on the ball at that age than most of our team now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Manduca sent off for APOEL. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Syn]

The two Lyon pens that were saved were better than the last 2 APOEL ones.

Lloris :rose:

The San Siro pitch is in a much better state and that's not sarcasm.

[Master Splinter]

Robben coming into form late in the season is good. He can win the CL for Bayern and not pass to RVP while winning Euro 2012.

[Master Splinter]

The San Siro pitch is in a much better state and that's not sarcasm.

Robben coming into form late in the season is good. He can win the CL for Bayern and not pass to RVP while winning Euro 2012.:blink:
