CL round of 16 14 Feb 2017

[GP]

Monaco 1-0 Dortmund, Mbappe. :bow:

Whatever it takes, sign this boy.

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on ref! Let's have a big half from you now. 3 goals required.

[Niall_Quinn]

Neymar pulls out every trick in the book to run the ball out.

[GP]

I hate Neymar. Great player but he's such a dickhead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monaco 2-1 Dortmund, Reus.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi shot, deflects just wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

Suarez is a world class cheat.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi clears another one. :haha:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Whatever it takes, sign this boy.

Yes!!!

He'll be great out on the wing.

[Niall_Quinn]

Have Barca forgotten to pay the ref?

[Niall_Quinn]

Suarez :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monaco 3-1 Dortmund, Germain.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barca are out. :lol:

[Maestro]

Why in the fuck would Allegri or Simeone leave their respective clubs for Arsenal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bye Barca :tiphat: :fingers: :woohoo:

[Marc Overmars]

Hopefully Monaco and Real Madrid are drawn together.

[AFC Leveller]

Monaco to hopefully win it, they play great football and are there on merit rather than through bribing the refs.

Their manager Jardim would be a great appointment for us.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Why in the fuck would Allegri or Simeone leave their respective clubs for Arsenal.

I can think of 10 million reasons.

[Özim]

Dortmund got shown up again, not been the same since Klopp left. Tuchel isn't doing a great job, one to avoid IMO.

Simeone and Allegri are constantly delivering however, I'd say we have no chance of getting them though, but that's the kind of names we should be aiming for, sadly it looks like we're stuck with Wenger at the moment, we'll probably miss out on all the top managers when they decide to leave.

That Mbappe guy seems very good, can't see us being anywhere near any deal for him though when in reality that's the kind of players we should be trying to get, not the 2nd rate signings we go for.

[Marc Overmars]

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid
Monaco vs Juventus

:popcorn:

[Niall_Quinn]

Shame about Monaco and Juventus drawing each other at this stage. But it'll be a good game.

LOL, it's shocking how far away from all this we are as a club.

[Globalgunner]

LOL, it's shocking how far away from all this we are as a club.

20% is the new 2%

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marketing v Atleti is on currently, Ronaldo has just put them 1-0 up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti should've equalised.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid: Navas, Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Kroos, Casemiro, Modric, Isco, Benzema, Ronaldo.
Subs: Casilla, Nacho, Rodriguez, Kovacic, Lucas, Marco, Morata.

Atletico Madrid: Oblak, Lucas, Savic, Godin, Filipe Luis, Koke, Gabi, Saul, Carrasco, Griezmann, Gameiro.
Subs: Miguel Moya, Tiago, Torres, Correa, Thomas, Gaitan, Rodriguez.

Referee: Martin Atkinson (England)

Atkinson. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema went for the Can, didn't work.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gameiro hauled off, Torres on.

Saul off, Gaitan on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Ronaldo, smashed it in.

Atkinson did an Atkinson earlier.

Blatant and crude foul from Isco on a second yellow but somehow stays on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0, Ronaldo hat-trick.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

You can't really argue with his scoring record. The prick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Truly great goalscorer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 FT, Atleti got a bit of a shellacking there.

Still blame Atkinson though for being a tit.

Also, Simeone's time seems to be coming to a natural conclusion there.

[Niall_Quinn]

3-0 FT, Atleti got a bit of a shellacking there.

Still blame Atkinson though for being a tit.

Also, Simeone's time seems to be coming to a natural conclusion there.

Hint. Hint.

Didn't see the game but I have no doubt Ronaldo cheated, because that's what he does.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Isn't he nailed on for Inter?

Also, I guess it's all down to Juve :pray:

[Marc Overmars]

Jesus, when will their reign of terror end? Ronaldo is a freak.

Hard to see them not becoming the first team to retain it now.

Come on Monaco/Juve.

[Globalgunner]

No matter how many goals Ronaldo scores I will not class him as a great player. He was brilliant at United, an all round footballer, but now all he does is goal hang. A souped up Gerd Muller. Meh!

[GP]

It must eat him up inside that he won't even be regarded as the best of his generation.

[Marc Overmars]

He's heavily reliant on his athleticism and that will begin to wane as he gets older, so moving up front as an all out striker was the smart thing to do. He was better than everyone bar Messi when he played deeper and he's still better than everyone bar Messi as a striker. Of course he is a great player. A cunt of course but an absolute monster of a player.

[Globalgunner]

CL footie:dance:
Bakayoko hoping to scare Juve into submission.

[Globalgunner]

Mbappe with 2 strikes on goal already. Monaco pressing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monaco 0-1 Juventus, Higuain.

Though the goal was from a while ago. Brilliant team goal tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Also, Higuain is a fat bastard.

[Globalgunner]

Monaco 0-1 Juve. Higuain

[Niall_Quinn]

Falcow misses a virtual open goal. His old Utd form has returned.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Falcao should've equalised.

[Niall_Quinn]

Super dive by Mbappe. He'll fit in well in the PL. Especially as we are signing him. Apparently.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

How good is Mbappe!

[Niall_Quinn]

Higuain 2-0

Wraps it up I would think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:rose:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ridiculous cross by Alves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I for one am glad we never signed that fatso.

[Niall_Quinn]

Juve really are a very good football team. Hyper disciplined. Every player has a role and they stick to it. Like a machine.

[Niall_Quinn]

I for one am glad we never signed that fatso.

We got Sanogo instead, didn't we?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Best Postman in the business. Of football.

[Niall_Quinn]

Juve too good for them. Casually dominating.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Dybala really looks about 16.

[Marc Overmars]

I think Juve have the better chance of beating Madrid, so good stuff.

[Niall_Quinn]

Has to be red for Chielini? How can he give yellow for an elbow?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chiellini with a coward's move. Actually it deserves more to be said than that - isn't it time deliberate elbow to the head were punished massively? Who knows what kind of damage you can do with shit like that.

[Niall_Quinn]

Guy on a 3 YEAR! loan from the chavs coming on.

3 year loan :haha: WTF?

[Niall_Quinn]

Chiellini with a coward's move. Actually it deserves more to be said than that - isn't it time deliberate elbow to the head were punished massively? Who knows what kind of damage you can do with shit like that.

Calm down. It wasn't as bad as Gabriel's push on Costa.

[Niall_Quinn]

Falcocoa does everything bar play the ball anywhere near the goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guy on a 3 YEAR! loan from the chavs coming on.

3 year loan :haha: WTF?

Are you suggesting there is something nefarious about that?

[Niall_Quinn]

Are you suggesting there is something nefarious about that?

Don't try to put words about money laundering in my mouth.

[Niall_Quinn]

Juve defence is crazy good. That despicable Alves is a hell of a player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Buffon. :bow:

One of the few redeeming features of Juve winning the whole thing.

[Niall_Quinn]

Buffon. :bow:

One of the few redeeming features of Juve winning the whole thing.

Another amazing player. Dino Zoff II

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 2-0

A very calm win. Juve defence neutralised Monaco attack.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 FT.

[Niall_Quinn]

Monaco ain't winning in Turin, so that's that.

[Niall_Quinn]

Continues to be depressing how far away we are from this level. Different planet.

[Marc Overmars]

Probably another CL final for Allegri.

Time for him to come home.

[Niall_Quinn]

Probably another CL final for Allegri.

Time for him to come home.

Spuds? When Poch moves up? Could be.

Certainly wouldn't want to step on a ten times shipwreck.

[AFC Leveller]

Juve are a super team, so well drilled and hard to break down.

Allegri is one of those managers that knows what hes doings.

Wenger out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juve 2-0 Monaco, Mandzukic and Dani Alves.

[GP]

We should get Allegri.

Just offer him the 18m we're paying wenga

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Mbappe.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 FT, easy for Juve really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 1-0 Marketing, SAUL!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 GRIEZMANN pelanty!

:haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Little bit tempting to switch off the Arsenal game and watch this.

[Globalgunner]

Little bit tempting to switch off the Arsenal game and watch this.

If you prefer the comedic stylings of Aaron Ramsey. Thats OK. I prefer to watch a game that actually means something. Wengers boys are on record. I`ll catch them later

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The ref must be receiving offers on how to screw Atleti over at around this time.

[Globalgunner]

Athleti. MUST NOT allow Real to score.

[Globalgunner]

The ref must be receiving offers on how to screw Atleti over at around this time.

His earpiece must be filling now with promises of offshore accounts and nights in Monaco with ladies of dubious character.

[Globalgunner]

Athleti...The Spurs of CL football.

Benzema was brilliant btw. tie as good as dead.

Real can scrote out the rest of the match now

[McNamara That Ghost...]

To clarify, 2-1 Isco.

Feck this.

[Globalgunner]

Real. Really fake team. their players will knowingly commit an egregious foul and then lie down prone as if they are the injured party. Con artists the lot of them.

[Marc Overmars]

Fancy Juve to beat them in the final.

Buffon. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Juve.

[Marc Overmars]

1-0 Juve win I reckon.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref will fix it, I reckon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juventus: Buffon, Alves, Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli, Sandro, Khedira, Pjanic, Mandzukic, Dybala, Higuaín.
Subs: Neto, Benatia, Lichtsteiner, Cuadrado, Marchisio, Lemina, Asamoah.

Real Madrid: Navas, Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Casemiro, Modric, Isco, Kroos, Benzema, Ronaldo.
Subs: Casilla, Nacho, Bale, Kovacic, Asensio, Morata, Danilo.

James isn't in the squad. :wave:

[Niall_Quinn]

Juve, my second fav team of all time. For today.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

3-1 Madrid.

At least one of their goals will be offside. The third will be a late one on the counter.

Hope Juve do it though. Buffon :pray:

[Marc Overmars]

Black Eyed Peas? FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jack White racking up the royalties, again.

Come on Buffon.

[Master Splinter]

Both United and Black Eyed Peas flopping without Fergie.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Champions League music. :haha:

Europa League theme. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Champions League music. :haha:

Europa League theme. :bow:

Does the EL have it's own theme? :o

[GP]

Does the EL have it's own theme? :o

Yeah man!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD7PpXAm2jA

[Master Splinter]

So four offside goals for Real Madrid?

And Buffon sent off for picking the ball up?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alright then, which part of the match does Higuain miss a sitter?

I'll say between 30-35.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Higuain header, easy for Navas.

[Master Splinter]

Alright then, which part of the match does Higuain miss a sitter?

I'll say between 30-35.

Higuain and Cavani in the same team. :cloud9:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Navas with the Ospina save off Higuain.

[Globalgunner]

Hope Ronaldo is miserable in 2 hrs time

[McNamara That Ghost...]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCaVkcOUNuU

This one too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Navas saves from Pjanic, great strike.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dybala booked. :unsure:

Oh fuck off Howard Webb, nobody likes you.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casemiro with his usual cynical shit.

[GP]

Ronaldo crying already

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Ronaldo. :sick:

[Marc Overmars]

Ronaldo scores

Jesus

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deflected pub.

[Master Splinter]

Get Nedved on.

[Globalgunner]

Good goal. hate Ronaldo but heck he scores goals

[Özim]

Ronaldo does it again, unstoppable.

The guy does it time and time again, amazing!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dive from Ronaldo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juventus 1-1 Marketing, MANDZUKIC!!!!

WHAT A GOAL!!!!

[Marc Overmars]

MANDZUKIC!!!

[Master Splinter]

MANDZUKIC!!!!

[Özim]

Sensational bycicle kick by Mandzukic!

[GP]

WHAT A GOALL!!!

[Marc Overmars]

Stunning goal :bow:

[Globalgunner]

Why oh why do they always wheel David Pleat out for these big games. Boring old git, just drones on and on about how the world is flat


Mandzukic with a goal for the ages. Shades of Henry against Utd.....Brilllllllllllllliant!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo with the overhead kick, blocked. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sergio Ramos booked.

Going for the 23rd red card in his career?

[Globalgunner]

Ramos with a yellow. Hopefully not his last.

[GP]

Ramos is a little bitch

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good clearance from Ronaldo.

[Master Splinter]

Ronaldo :haha:.

[Marc Overmars]

That was an easy chance for Ronaldo by his standards. Shanked it

[Master Splinter]

Dybala is a slimy, divy shit.

But against Real Madrid, I condone it tbf.

[GP]

btw, this is live on Youtube for anyone who needs it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycbboXDO2kA

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Handball from Ronaldo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Every Europa League game on BT next season.

I need to change my work shift tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carvajal booked.

[Marc Overmars]

Scrappy as hell now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casemiro shot, shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Stoke.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT.

[Marc Overmars]

:popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barzagli just gets back in on Isco to flick it away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Modric whacks it, Buffon saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dive from Isco?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marcelo curled dink, Ronaldo can't get on the end of it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Isco shoots, way wide.

[Marc Overmars]

Juve are getting sloppy now

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 Marketing, Casemiro pub. :sick:

[Master Splinter]

Another pubbed effort for the most expensive pub team of them all.

[Marc Overmars]

Another deflection

Poor old Gigi

[Master Splinter]

Khedira you fucktard. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-3 Ronaldo. Fuck this.

[Marc Overmars]

Ronaldo again

Bloody hell

[Master Splinter]

:sick:

Satan back to his best.

[Master Splinter]

Get Pirlo on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pjanic off, Marchisio on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cuadrado booked for hacking down Ronaldo. Seems harsh.

[Master Splinter]

Juventus' pass completion is 7% in this half.

[Globalgunner]

Juve!:rose:

Need to change their nickname from Old Lady to Old Bridesmaids

[Marc Overmars]

Time for Isco to come home.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cuadrado sent off.

Sergio Ramos. :haha:

Cheating shit.

[Marc Overmars]

Ramos :haha:

What an absolute cunt.

Gets Cuadrado sent off.

[Master Splinter]

Ramos is utter scum.

[Özim]

Juventus are a very good side, but Real are on another planet to other teams at the moment, quality other teams can only dream about.

Credit to Juve though for doing so well with less resources, through organisation, hard work and quality players, their time will come, but when you're up against players of the quality of Ronaldo it's a near impossible task, the guy is superhuman.

[Letters]

Ramos is utter scum.

It's this sort of bollox that is a factor in making football so much harder to enjoy.
Lengthy retrospective bans would sort it out.

[Özim]

It's this sort of bollox that is a factor in making football so much harder to enjoy.
Lengthy retrospective bans would sort it out.

Not really in this case, this has been a great match to enjoy. I agree it's not great doesn't really spoil the enjoyment of seeing two top teams playing in the pinnacle of European football.

Match was already lost anyway. I can think of other things that spoil the enjoyment for me more personally!

[Globalgunner]

It's this sort of bollox that is a factor in making football so much harder to enjoy.
Lengthy retrospective bans would sort it out.

Have mercy on MS

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-4 Asensio.

[Marc Overmars]

:rose:

[Letters]

Real are pretty good tbf

[Master Splinter]

Hope Buffon takes out Ramos and the ref at FT.

Would be remembered by all true football fans as the Buffon final.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-4 FT.

Football defiled for another season.

[Marc Overmars]

Brutal from Real Madrid. What a team.

Juve. :rose:

They were shit in the second half.

[GP]

Real are cunts tbf

Agreed

[Letters]

Pff. Only 12 European Cups?
How many FA Cups have they won?
Exactly.
And last time I checked 13 > 12
:cool:

[Özim]

Real defend the CL trophy, they've made history, never been done before which shows how great a side they are :bow:

Barcelona and everyone else can only dream of being this good!

[Marc Overmars]

Juve's record in CL finals. :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Is a meteor scheduled for the evening of the Super Cup?

[Özim]

Spain the centre of the football world these days :bow:

They've dominated internationally and now they're dominating club football as well.

[Niall_Quinn]

Stinky, despicable, cunty fucking dego cheats.

Yes, 12 titles, yes, Ronaldo's goalscoring record, yes, more of the game, more chances, controlled it in the second half.

BUT, when you cheat like that, NOTHING else counts.

An abomination of a football team, the worst cunts ever to rape the game. Not even Uruguay come close.

I hope their fucking plane crashes on the way back to the shithole they crawled out of.

[Niall_Quinn]

And as for the cunts in the media and the rest of the hype machine, if that Ramos disgrace is not your number one headline then fuck you. Die cunts. You disgrace the game by being alive.

[Özim]

Why would the Ramos thing be the key headline when the game was already won.

Players cheat, what's new, we see it every week, yes something should be done but it's been happening for years nothing new.

Juve well beaten by the better side tonight, beaten fair and square, the sending off made zero difference.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Also, remember the Bayern game.

[Niall_Quinn]

Why would the Ramos thing be the key headline when the game was already won.

Players cheat, what's new, we see it every week, yes something should be done but it's been happening for years nothing new.

Say you had a perfect funeral, and then somebody came along and wanked, shit, pissed and vomited into the grave?

What's your headline now?

I hope that cunt Ramos gets diagnosed with cancer tonight.

[Marc Overmars]

Jesus NQ.

[Niall_Quinn]

Jesus NQ.

I totally mean it, 100%

What an absolute fucking cunt that sub-human filth is.

Everything that destroyed our game, summed up in one dirty dego cunt.

[Niall_Quinn]

And the way Lineker and his whores are just carrying in as if this is all normal. Fuck them too. Just stuff the mattress strapped to their back full of cash and they'll do anything you want them to do.

[Niall_Quinn]

Damn it, I'm finished with whatever this shit is. It's not football. It's something dark and evil. I'm saving my fucking soul by getting out now.

[GP]

Ramos is a little bitch

:gp:

[Master Splinter]

Damn it, I'm finished with whatever this shit is. It's not football. It's something dark and evil. I'm saving my fucking soul by getting out now.

Watch tennis you stupid bastard. It's pure one-on-one sport where cheating on the court is barely even possible, even if it was attempted. It will cleanse that dark layer of festering anger on your soul once you embrace it's beauty. Guys like Federer and Nadal are the polar opposites of the sub-cellular vermin like Ramos, Terry, Rooney and Martin Atkinson that pollute the football cesspit.





























Did you ever watch True Detective season one?

[AFC Leveller]

Real are the best team in the world but their cheating and ref bias makes it very difficult to support them.

Ramos is filth and should be banned for at least 10 games.

I thought allegri wengered his team in the second half, he either instructed them to sit back and wait or he was too scared to attack, either way he didn't deliver yet again in a CL final.

:good:

The sportsmanship and level of ability in tennis do really highlight how embarrassing it all is in football.
