Fuck, it's too early to get nervous already but I can't do anything about it. Match is too unpredictable.

I think this second leg will be the open end-to-end game people wanted out of Bayern-Madrid, I think there will definitely be a lot of goals, especially as both teams will go for an early goal, most likely.

Btw, I'm really happy for Chelsea, I'll admit I didn't think much of their chances, but they deserved the victory, it's a shame for them though that Meireles, Ramires and Terry will all be suspended from the final, unless I'm mistaken?

Tiote: "I have four games to play, I think I have to focus on the games because they are important games for the club and for everybody. After the season, we will see."

He's gone then. Fucking mercenary only got offered a new contract in the Summer which saw a bumper pay rise. Now despite saying earlier he is happy at Newcastle, he's now saying "we will see"? We'll see what? Whether or not he gets even MORE money from the club or he will fuck off to someone who will give him more? By even saying such a thing he is tempted to move on. Sure he says he can achieve what he wants at Newcastle but you never say "we'll see" unless you are looking elsewhere too.

Fucking pissed. If we sell him, I want a fucking top quality DM as his replacement. Don't give a shit who.

Meireles?
 
This summer's transfer market will be awesome.

Madrid has to get rid of some useless players like Lass and Kaká.

I wonder who will we con.

Also, thereare rumours of Pedrito, Alves and Guardiola leaving Barcelona.

Meireles?

I rate the guy and wouldn't mind him pairing up with Gutierrez in DM. Our formation means we require two DM specialists so that would be nice.

Tell you what. Take Evra. He obviously doesn't want to be a fucking defender.

Dunno about top quality, but you can't have everything.

Honestly, I think Evra could play DM. I'd take him also. :p

In other news, Erik Pieters still wants to join Newcastle: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/7699425/Pieters-still-open-to-Toon


And we might even sign Heskey.

Yeah it'll be very interesting. Juve going for a new striker (Cavani?), Madrid need at least one new centre-back, Barca have to reinforce their defence too. Bayern will also get a bunch of new players. I wonder what Inter will do though?

Newcastle are ready to fight Manchester United for Lille defender Mathieu Debuchy.

And the Tiote news is posted on other news sites as a sign that he will stay at Newcastle, with his comments regarded as confirmation. :lol Fucking idiots can't listen/read comments properly it seems. I'll say it again, you do not say "we'll see" if you're 100% committed to your team.

I imagine "we'll see" translates to "if we qualify for the Champions League"

man, what has happened to mourinho? he used to be thin and handsome and suave with a nice head of hair. this was less than a year ago! now he looks old, tired and heavier, and his hair seems to be thinning out from the front; he looks like a dirty old man. i blame madrid. and barcelona. and unicef.

Pretty excited for tonight's game. Rooting for Bayern, but if Real wins it'd be fine as well. Just hoping for a great game.

My motivation for criticising these tactics is that were they to prove successful, then more coaches would adopt them. If, however, they proved unsuccessful and you saw teams beating Barcelona by attacking them, by keeping the ball, you would see youth coaches put more emphasis on these traits resulting in more teams playing 'total' football. It's not idealism to believe you can beat Barcelona by trying to play them at their own game. It can be achieved in time if the coaches want to replicate it and not purely suffocate it. I don't know about anyone here, but I want to see more Barcelona-like teams

Two teams playing what Barça fans so pompously call "Total football", which it's absolute garbage, would ammount to the most boring games ever made.

You see, there's only one messi, so without him this so called Total Football when played at both ends would just mean that football would look like work.

I don't mind who wins. I just want a team equipped to take out Chelsea. Both teams are so it's fine, though I would like to see Ronaldo win the Champion's League again.

Real Madrid winger Cristiano Ronaldo insists his team will overcome a one-goal deficit and beat Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals.


sounds like pep 24 hours ago

spanish teams never learn

Ugh, he insisted they would win against Barça too.

What they say, unless it's offensive, doesn't really matter. But in all cases, it's always better to play with confidence me thinks.

TBH, I just want to see Lahm and Schweinsteiger lift the cup, I mean have either of them yet won a major non-domestic cup?

omg, kenka. good timing. why did u got banned in the first place?
I went angry about Yoichi Wada and insulted him. I got banned for saying obscenities one of the most hated person in the gaming world. I felt insulted.

I can't wait for tonight. I'll watch the game from a bar in Sunderland !

I was talking about this earlier with a friend, as a fan of Celtic, if we make it to the Champions League group stages, I want a group with some good matches, rather than a group we might actually have a chance of winning.

So I wanted to ask the Newcastle fans in here, if you make it, would you want to see Real Madrid, and AC Milan at St. James' Park or teams you had more of a chance of beating?

I like the glamour ties.

Mix of both I guess. I would like to see us go on a little run, even if it's getting to the knock-out stages and going out.
