EDIT: OH GOD THIS IS SOOOOOO LONG :S!!! SORRY GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Am I the only human being in the world who loves both Barcelona and Chelsea so much?
You guys knew it had to come to this at some point :'(! I have learned my lesson real well - stay away from footygaf for a while and you'll HOURS going through the highly entertaining pages you did not read yet. I literally skimmed through the whole of OT8! Can't believe I stayed away for as long as I did, you guys are way too fun
There's so much to say but right now I just want to focus on the responses. Oh God I hope this does not look TOO long after I click on "submit reply". I hope this post will be epic enough for you guys!!
I had to thank you for this link FootballFan, it had only players that I really love/respect
More loving and less hating FTW
Nice stuff you got there Messi, congrats! The Bilbao kit looks great too. Here, a photo of my kits taken just a few minutes ago:
It truly is an honor to post in a thread where both Gareth Bale and Messi constantly chat with their fans.
LOL. We think alike. I loved Yurt's response though
You have done well son! Now the question is - what is your PSN?
Man, I lost it when this happened. Beautiful goal. I am really liking him more these days - even against the Benfica game, though he screwed up here and there, I definitely enjoyed him far more than I did other Chelsea players. And for Di Matteo's side to have the biggest win at Aston Villa in a decade was nice
Hey there dc By changes are you referring to our relegation :'(??!! Why oh why did it have to happen btw? I miss the days when this thread was stickied. I have posted very little in a while because I have been busy with multiple things and they have taken SO MUCH of my time - most of you guys are like family <3 so I will be sharing details here and there with you all soon
Haha!! It was for april fool's Though you may ask, why do I still have the avatar? It's a bit silly but, I have decided that my United-hate has got to go - it does me no good as a football fan, and I did not want to be the kind of fan that overreacts when a team he doesn't like gets things their way (like most people did here against Barca recently haha!). Also I truly enjoy being a "fair" person far more than a hater, hence, this avatar will stick around for a week or two to remind myself not to hate anymore.
Can't believe you guys did not realize it was april fool's I loved all of your reactions though haha!
WoodenLung, I never aim to disappoint a poster such as yourself It will go down soon and shall not be repeat again
I even had it on my facebook Here's a snapshot of my profile:
You were the only one who got it right ;D Bro I cannot wait to see you guys in the semi-finals :0!! If you go through I fear what you will do to my team
Fret not brother, for I shall remain where I am
Oh man you had Ronaldo? Good on you ;D I thought more people would have changed their avatars My fantasy of seeing Wilbury sporting a Chelsea avatar would have come to fruition, if only for a day!
The exciting thing, for non-United fans only of course, is that we are living during the end of the Ferguson era (no one take this the wrong way please, I mean that in terms of him probably not going to coach them beyond another 5 years), which is exciting for us non-United fans because we could very well see a very different United - not necessarily worse at all (especially if they get Mourinho), but at least different . I'd be excited to see a different kind of United that plays well; but I also hope other teams step it up as it does get boring for us non-fans obviously.
Thanks for more awesome links bro <3
I had to quote these 4 posts as they pretty much reflected how I felt after reading the hate posts. As a fan who watches every single Barcelona game since August 2011, I know for a fact that they have been hard done many times - with many clear penalties not given, wrong red cards, onside goals not counting, and so on. That Chelsea Barcelona game was definitely extreme back in 09, but nothing I have seen this year came anywhere near half of it. The same goes to Madrid - sometimes they get lucky with decisions, and sometimes they don't. The same goes for United - they may get lucky at times and other times they don't. Having much hate for a team however can blind you from seeing that. I know that well because the difference between how I perceived United getting help before I starting decreasing my hate for them and now is staggering.
If I can stop hating on ManU, you can on Barcelona. Join me
What about me Moobabe?? I'm actually proud of most diehard Barca fans here - Messi, Woodenlung
and FootballFan come to mind - they put most Barca fans I know to shame with their manners ;D
Very kind of you Messi! You should have seen me when Chelsea lost to United and drew them in the reverse fixture, I was so angry it felt unnatural at the time. I was also EXTREMELY tense during the final few minutes of the Napoli/Benfica games against Chelsea where Chelsea almost got knocked out. But I've learned the hard way that the calmer you try to remain the less evil (by far) you will be.
Do any of you folks ever munch on Haribo? I'm munching on the "bears" as I type this; the worms are awesome too (BIG fan of gummis! I'm a SUCKER for Rowntree's FRUIT GUMS! If Barcelona and Chelsea turned into a candy, that would be it!)
That's the unbelievable thing about this guy. On a "bad" day he can produce stuff like that. What a legend. I don't think I'll ever love a player as much as I love him.
Di Matteo has been brilliant bro, really puts AVB to shame for the most part. Seven wins, including twice against Benfica, against Napoli, and Aston Villa - where they won only once previously in over 10 years - and 1 draw - against a tough Tottenham, and 1 loss - against Man City, who may had their first home loss if it wasn't for that soft penalty against Essien. Whatever happens to Chelsea (Newcastle's incredible win today knocks Chelsea down to sixth place), Di Matteo's effect have been way, way, WAY better than AVB's.
Don't worry my friend, as long as I exist you will have an arse to kick. I suck, simply put. However, if you're done to play some co-op games (VERY DAMN FUN), then I'll pick up a copy of it on the PS3.
Haha, now I've heard it all If I had to pick one team to support for the rest of my life I'd go with Chelsealona.
Haha could not believe it myself! Were it with AVB, I bet Napoli would have knocked us out!
You have no idea how difficult it is for me Messi :'(! If Barca do win though, I'll use a Messi avatar and urge them onto the trophy obviously. It's like choosing between Messi and Xavi, tooooooo difficult :'(
Work has taken up most of my time bro - it's crazy, too many hours. Though I will start checking in on a daily basis (otherwise I'll have to spend so many hours going through 140+ pages of posts!!!). A lot has been up in the past few weeks though and I hope to share more news with you guys soon!
True, though I felt we had so many chances to kill the game (against Benfica at the Bridge) - but my God at those misses :/
Adding you up tonight! ( I just did )
Likewise, big semis!! I don't know what the Chelsea-Barca games will be like. Whenever either team scores, I wonder how I'll react lol! I just hope it is a fun game to remember without any controversies.
It's poignant for me - I'll feel bad for whoever loses You know what would kill me though? Chelsea doing the crazy task of beating Barcelona and then losing the final. Fudge that. If they beat Barca they better go all the way in Munich. Bayern and Madrid are such tough opponents. It'll be tense.
Not bad guys, not bad. It's not easy to figure out, but the winners are Salazar and FootballFan - Fa-dee (rhymes with daddy). Oh and thanks a lot FootballFan! You're too awesome, any person with a Messi avatar is worthy with a capital W ;D
LOL. This made me laugh more than I expected!! HAhahahahahaha
Where did akinbiyi come from?
Yenrot, for your kind words, I present you with a picture of my friend who looks SO MUCH LIKE Andy Carroll:
I like that actually Props for the creativity ;D
You have no idea how long it took Kyoufu :'(
Interesting theory What a coincidence though, I must say! I loved Kermit as well, as I felt he never intended any harm, it was just him playing around. I only wish he didn't screw around in another threads so quickly :[
HAHA I see the multi-team behemoths are rising in number! I never went beyond two teams though Chelsealona for lyf yo!
I missed you bro! What have u been playing? That's mean of you
I can never get mad at u folks for anything :{ I only wish there was less Barca/Chelsea hate on these threads But that's asking for the impossible
Are you talking about the game :0?? If so I am shocked that EA would go so far as to provide rentals of areas in the game for a price >_<
Don't worry Yurt, I'd bring you back with me wherever I went; this way Messi has nothing to lose ;D Congrats on beating Inter AND Napoli AND Milan while I was away btw!
It seems so - and I must say - congrats - you guys fought hard all the way and fully deserved it. Enjoy it
MESSI YOU OWN. Go read your posts again to realize how nice YOU are <3 You must know that much of who I have become is inspired by posters like you a LOT. I have learned much here, thanks to you guys.
Thank you Mastadon! Take a look at my friend up there and tell me if you agree with me about how he looks like Carroll
Haha! You know me too well :0!! Its one of those questions that has no answer, I swear it I don't even know how I will feel till see the performances. I do wish however that Chelsea put up a big fight to make an even and entertaining match. I don't want them playing like they did the other day :/ Or how they did against Tottenham...
That's very normal bro, I tend to go through that myself from time to time but I end up holding back in the final minute and not posting about it
You were close, and will never be left out regardless ;D BTW did you pick up Xenoblade yet?? I can't wait to play it after clearing out some of my backlog.
I agree with the above ^_^
What about now ;D? I must have missed you the last time :'( I hope we will fight hard against Wigan; I would not like the SECOND loss/draw to go to Wigan :/
I tried those and = Lindt. is. goooooooooooooooooooooooood.
Am I the only human being in the world who loves both Barcelona and Chelsea so much?
Stop please, Fady has not forsaken us. He is working on the most epic of multi quote post, covering the entire thread.
:/ please, ill trade Yurt for Fady, sorry Yurt but prioritys.

Lets stop talking about pitches, its going to get us nowhere.
Look what just arrived
and this, to troll my brother with/man united fans. Plus I think the kit is pretty damn awesome (it was £10 btw)
Here is how the collection looks - minus the ones that are being washed (some barca ones)
Nice stuff you got there Messi, congrats! The Bilbao kit looks great too. Here, a photo of my kits taken just a few minutes ago:

What madness is this?
Can't believe you guys did not realize it was april fool's
I loved all of your reactions though haha!I thought Fady was cool.
WoodenLung, I never aim to disappoint a poster such as yourself
It will go down soon and shall not be repeat again I even had it on my facebook

Fret not brother, for I shall remain where I am
Even if we ended the season in a much lower position
It is april fools (plus I respect Ronaldo). The most attractive woman in the world (imo) will return soon
Oh man you had Ronaldo? Good on you ;D I thought more people would have changed their avatars

He wasn't that great in this match
But his standards are so high that:
-Winning a penalty
-His shot led to the goal
-Scored 2 penalties
= below average. lol
That's the unbelievable thing about this guy. On a "bad" day he can produce stuff like that. What a legend. I don't think I'll ever love a player as much as I love him.

Do people have PS3 FIFA or is it just me?

Fady, choose your team. No more of this 2 team crap
I call an avatar bet with fady for barca vs Chelsea
You have no idea how difficult it is for me Messi :'(! If Barca do win though, I'll use a Messi avatar and urge them onto the trophy obviously. It's like choosing between Messi and Xavi, tooooooo difficult :'(

!! HAhahahahahahaWhere did akinbiyi come from
?With a soft a. Fdy K is the correct pronunciation. Fdy is the only thing that makes me okay with the Chelsea win. At least he will be happy! Whereas that dick, kylehimself...

Chelsealona for lyf yo!
Anyway, I have no preference for who wins the CL this season except Chelsea :lol
I missed you bro! What have u been playing? That's mean of you
I can never get mad at u folks for anything :{ I only wish there was less Barca/Chelsea hate on these threads

HEE...well, if it it's going to bring Fady back, then I'll go with it! Take me away, Messi
Don't worry Yurt, I'd bring you back with me wherever I went; this way Messi has nothing to lose ;D Congrats on beating Inter AND Napoli AND Milan while I was away btw!
It seems so - and I must say - congrats - you guys fought hard all the way and fully deserved it. Enjoy it

Thank you Mastadon! Take a look at my friend up there and tell me if you agree with me about how he looks like Carroll
Now that you're back Fady the all important question Chelsea OR Barcelona son? where do your allegiance stands? Your answer will determine whether I treat you as the enemy from here on out or not.
Oh and don't try to weasel out of this one with a vague answer
Haha! You know me too well :0!! Its one of those questions that has no answer, I swear it
I don't even know how I will feel till see the performances. I do wish however that Chelsea put up a big fight to make an even and entertaining match. I don't want them playing like they did the other day :/ Or how they did against Tottenham...That's very normal bro, I tend to go through that myself from time to time but I end up holding back in the final minute and not posting about it
I was left out because I pronounced it Fay-Dee
You were close, and will never be left out regardless ;D BTW did you pick up Xenoblade yet?? I can't wait to play it after clearing out some of my backlog.
I agree with the above ^_^
What about now ;D? I must have missed you the last time :'( I hope we will fight hard against Wigan; I would not like the SECOND loss/draw to go to Wigan :/
I tried those and = Lindt. is. goooooooooooooooooooooooood.
