pls stop
Well done Bayern, I don't really mind who wins the CL as long as it's not Barca.
I wonder if this would've been called a penalty today:
Nope, not a chance in hell.
God we were so robbed that night, that was a penalty, Abidal would be sent off!
I'm interested to hear what you think, considering you were given a penalty against us a few weeks ago for the same thing
Foul, refereeing inconsistency doesn't make it not a foul - they get it wrong when they don't give the penalties, yet only real get bollocked when they do... logic! I don't buy the 'if they gave them all the games would end 10-5' or whatever... if they gave them the players would stop doing it. But having only seen one replay I dunno if the ball was in play or not, many in here seem to say it wasn't, so...
If Barca's goal was on the halfway line, sure.
of course, I never whine when we get a shit decision against us. It's part of the game. In La Liga we have gotten tons of bad decisions and I never ranted on this thread. It's part of the game, refs are human they can make mistakes. People just like blowing shit out of proportion sometimes when a call DOES goes our way.
<3 AVB era I was rooting for Chelsea so fucking much, I loved the guy. I disapprove of what happened but as long as you put away Barca then I want the fucking tag.
Make it a John Terry shirt and I'll know you are sincere
I already got one as part of my BNP membership renewal pack.
I think technically and ironically that makes you a Barca "hater".

..it's not a penalty.
What chance does Chelsea have, seriously? They barely passed Napoli. Barca is already in the final.
Apoel are still within a chance!
Football GAF unite! Every needs to put a monobrow on their avatar to Bosingwafy it., ESPECIALLY you Gareth Bale.
I am, it's just nice to have the word hater as part of a coherent sentence.

I hate Seedorf. And Pato.
That about sums it up.
If Chelsea win then they'll be distracted by the CL so then we can beat them at Stamford Bridge.
Come on Chelsea!
It doesn't matter how much chance Chelsea has, this is a matter of priniciple!
i'm not sure if i wanna read all the posts of the last two hours :S everyone is so aggressive lol.
it was the defending that killed us, mexes in particular was awful.
seedorf definitely was quite bad though.
We smashed Napoli bro!
That's also true.

British National Party? They entice you to renew by offering you football kits?

Torres was the only player who didn't have his name up in lights in that Pepsi advert :/

I agree, but Seedorf. I don't know what else to say without getting banned.

okay i have cooled down. thoughts:
we need to stop playing with nesta, ambro, and seedorf. they are too slow and can't keep up at this level anymore. seedorf is invisible, nesta and ambro commit way too many reckless tackles because they can't keep up. we can play with maybe ONE of them (nesta) if we compensate with speed (thiago silva.) but today was just a disaster with mexes+nesta with ambro in front of them. probably the slowest defense/midfield in the entire CL.
we are never going to compete with barca/madrid if we play these old slow guys. all of their contracts are up this summer, we should either keep them in a backup/mentor role or just let them go. starting the game with three 35 year olds against a team comprised of extremely quick midgets was always going to be a disaster. hopefully berlusconi/galliani realize this. however, knowing berlu, he will blame max for subbing off seedorf.
also, pato is ridiculous. if he is broken, we should get rid of him, sorry to say. he can't play more than a game without getting injured this season, it is absurd. and robinho is simply not good enough for this level. hopefully with cassano back next week our strike partnership will begin to click again.
barca is superior to us, i wouldn't have minded losing fairly without referee help. oh well, it is what it is. hopefully now we can focus on the scudetto.

Yeah, he was doing good at everything but his decision making was quite bad up front and so was his finishing. Scored 2 penalties, but penalties are just penalties.
I would prefer it if Chelsea won. That should be enough
Your good will is worth a thousand monobrows.
It was a joke aimed at calling John Terry a racist haha LIBEL
If everyone stays fit and Schwienstiger stops the barca midfield, they could do it at home too.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
Just for the record, there's been absolutely no compelling argument against it. I'm actually interested in hearing one. The referee clearly thought the ball was in play when a foul was committed.
Not sure why Nesta decided to hold his man in the box, always leaving himself open for the call, with that one.
Nesta put his team on the back foot there.
