I read that on totalBarca. Sounds like a Gladiator/Spartacus speech but it's true. Believe. 2-0 half time would be great. I believe.
Also, Thiago's much less epic message made me lol
“We will comeback for sure.”- Thiago
FOR SURE GUYS
No it's better this way. Let them build up hope, it'll be all the funnier when they inevitably go crashing out.
They will be given the chance to back up those words in a few hours. Nothing is impossible in football. I am sure Depor never stopped believing against Milan.

Not delusional. In the last 4-5 years our team has come back many times and beat several incredible teams. We rarely choke, and I am confident we will do well against Bayern.
Remuntada.
I would not go that far
Love it.
Had a massive go at the French policy, fought off the minions who defended it, and it's turning into liquid vindication. Stupid scouting policy to buy hordes of French lads on the cheap, doesn't take into account their total footballing worth or their character.
This is exactly why I called them the French QPR. Split squad, no fight, players there for reasons other than 'I want to play for Newcastle', etc.
Can someone please dig up my French QPR posts? I'm feeling ill today and trying to work from home.

Fine, we don't choke a lot
Remuntada.
btw to the rest, at least I am not in here crying that it's impossible and that we will lose. That shit is boring lol.
It's the same Barca that seemingly gave up last week. Barca has never faced a team as strong as Bayern and they still resufe to acknowledge that. That's the mentality that got them in trouble in the first place, you just can't go to Munich with a gameplan like that.
I won't complain but the arrogance level is reaching new heights.

Its not arrogance to believe in the team you support.
Internacional president Giovanni Luigi claims Tottenham Hotspur have re-opened transfer talks regarding Leandro Damiao.
How long has this transfer saga been going on for?

Ugh... so Dani Alves likes Adidas ads? Good for him.
Isn't the general consensus that he's a bit shit?
Looks like it, yeah. Not sure why he's quoting Muhammad Ali in an Adidas ad though.

Believing is not arrogance. Who is here saying we will kick Bayern's ass? Messi and I are just saying we believe we can.
Bayern are not the best team we have faced imo, Inter under Mou is easily the best, as much as it pains me to say that. They defended like gods with one man less against a much better Barcelona than the current one, much better.
edit
Don't forget this Barca lost to Madrid and Madrid B twice in 5 days, lost against AC Milan 2-0, lost against Celtic, barely drew twice vs PSG, and had to score last minute goals to beat Celtic and Spartak.
But I still believe.
Remuntada.
He's raw and has no European experience, I don't really see why we would try to get him ahead of someone like Benteke. TBH I think the reason Inter keep talking about him is because there isn't actually that much interest in him. He's had some injury problems in the last year and unless you have the flair of someone like Neymar or Lucas, big fees just aren't going to happen. I don't see us signing him.
There's nothing wrong with believing in yourself. I just dont like the way the Barca players present themselves in the media, they haven't earned the right to talk like that after last week. That's just wrong imo. Sure Barca can do it, and Bayern can choke. But they shouldnt be so vocal about it, look at Arsenal... they didnt talk half as much shit but brought it on the field.
you said we rarely choke, this CL season has being one long sustained choke lol
Is Damiao a pure poacher? My opinion of him from the Olympics is that he's positionally really good but very limited in other areas. He's not going to maraud and bully a defence but if the team gets the balls into the right areas he'll be deadly.
Hope Liverpool do go for this Ilori guy from Sporting. He's not particularly brawny, but he can sure play football for a central defender. Seems like he'd be decent cover for Agger too, as well as potentially slotting in alongside him. Would still hope to get a player like Williams, though. Someone who's going to command a back four and lead from the back. But yea, great potential on that Ilori kid, he seems positionally astute, athletic, and has a great range of passing.

Its as much about getting the fans to believe and to get their team mates to believe. Confidence is a massive thing for a team like Barca.

Pardew thinks if he behaves like Froggie he can be Froggie.
Pep drinking beer with Schweinsteiger's girlfriend. Mourinho moving to London in tandem with me. Moyes to United in the next three years remains secure.

Maybe, but if there's anything we / Bayern learned from the final last year it is that being humble is a good thing. I like the "we havent achieved anything yet"-approach Bayern is taking this season.

You're supposed to be on my side! :lol
But you are right, we are pretty crap. Our defending has been just laughable. Midtable or lower defending, lucky we attack so well that we end up scoring more than we concede.
Other than 3-0 against Spartak, we didn't even beat anyone in the group stage thoroughly. Either late win or draw. lol but in one game anything can happen.
I want to see a motivated team out there unlike every other game this season excluding the second leg of Milan.

I love Bayern, don't make me find my FuckDortmund posts. Blablurn knows this.
Don't hate me for believing.
Where?
Hope Mourinho is announced soon, it's all very tiring at the moment. Tony Barrett said it right when he called it 'flirting'.

The most annoyed i've been with United lately is the way we lost Pogba. The club got complacent and expected he would sign a new contract - things like that are usually sorted out very efficiently by the club but we let this one slip and we lost an amazing player in the process.
Very disappointing.
Very disappointing.
They won't announce it until the season ends. It's all but done now, though.
Liverpool! We need your help (again) this summer!
1- Quagliarella - The MOTD striker. Never scored an ugly goal in his life.
2- Giovinco - The Italian Messi*.
*pre-steroids Messi
3-Matri - The....well, he's just eye candy really.
Pick one!
No, actually, pick two!

Has anybody told Di Matteo!?
Not sure if it's complacency necessarily. More Fergie being a stubborn, idealistic old man when it comes to dealing with agents. Obviously it's a very shady, slimy business (especially where Raiola is involved) but sometimes you've just got to suck it up, acknowledge the incredible talent of a youngster and cough up.

I'd keep Matri Yurt. Llorente, Ibra, Matri :lol

Ah, fair enough. Just seems to be our contract policy for most players unfortunately.
On another note: for someone who normally keeps his feet firmly on the ground when it comes to transfers, I'm getting way, way too erect over even the faintest possibility that Ronnie might return home.
