villahagler69 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Well thankfully Romans bitches wont be boring the pants off everyone in this years European showpiece.

JoeFoSho Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 is that because english teams are simply better? no IMO, its because english teams strangely respect them more and try to nullify them rather than play them at their own game IMO English teams are more organised, quicker, stronger, more tactically astute, fitter; ie Better. Barcelona don't have enough properly competitive games to know how to beat the top PL sides despite being good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 rocket polisher.....really wanted Chelsea to go through, then would of decided between United and Chelsea from there. felt especially sorry for Lampard, wanted him to get a CL medal, Tis a shame, ref is a cock. Why did you want Lumpard to get a medal?! He's a grade A clearing in the woods! Cause I've met him and think he's actually a very decent straight forward bloke, who's actually very intelligent for a footballer and has been brilliant throughout his career and has never got any recognition over Gerrard who is a *****. Yeh i really feel sorry for him, im sure he'll be ok when he gets in his £100,000 car to drive home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark8691 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Dont get people calling Barcelona one of the best teams in europe.. Very rarely perform against English teams and poor again tonight despite the away goal. They didn't play well tonight no. And they haven't played well against English teams the past few years. But that is all most people see of them. I'm not suggesting you haven't seen more of them, just people in general. Watching them destroy Bayern in the first quarter final, and Real at the weekend shows why they are one of the best teams in Europe. Bayern and Real aint that great at the present time.. anyway..i need a fkin nap..i'm turning into the undead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heystally! Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Dont get people calling Barcelona one of the best teams in europe.. Very rarely perform against English teams and poor again tonight despite the away goal. Come off it, they're a a very very good team - Chelsea did very well, but they played to nick a goal at home - that tells you all you need to know about what a good footballing team Barca are. Wanted an Arsenal Barca final, but Man U will do. It won't even have to be a good game to be better than last year's borefest Exactly. I have a feeling it will be one of the most glamourous and unforgettable games of all time, and I hope I'm not dissapointed - but it will be better than last years whatever happens. I was so wrapped up in the emotion last year that I didnt realise how dull the game was until I went back and watched it again. Can anyone notice the common denominator? Last years final - dull. Barcelona v Chelsea - dull. Chelsea v Barcelona - dull. Chelsea play anti-football. They don't have their own way of playing, they just look at who they're playing and play to stop them as priority one. If Chelsea had won tonight, they'd play the exact same ten-men-behind-the-ball as they did against Barca. I'll be cheering on Barcelona in the final, but ultimately I don't care who wins as long as it is a good match. And those chances are increased by Chelsea not being there.

sled Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 The one I feel really sorry for is Didier Drogba. Chelsea through and through. Blue blood coursing through his veins. Loyal Chelsea man. And now he'll miss the Final. Oh wait... EDIT: Just seen heystally!'s post. Agree completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggaman Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Funny on some messageboards how people are saying they wanted Chelsea to win. Are they forgetting how Chelsea got to this stage?! Pisses me off. Their team is built on money, not success...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I think the ref missed at least one penalty (the Pique hands) and maybe another (the other hands shout). But I think none of the penalty situations in the play were penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, tonights game was the opposite of dull. I really disagree. Barcelona were not as good as at the Nou Camp or at the weekend against Real, Chelsea played for a tight defensive performance and goals on the long-ball counter. Only thing that made it fun was the hilarity of decisions going against Chelsea, a wonderful goal from Essien, and a late late good goal from Iniesta.

I assume you didn't watch the two Quater-Final legs between Chelsea and liverpool cause they were two of the most exciting games I've even seen, not too mention this game wasn't half bad.

The penalty shoot out was great fun though, one of the best I've seen. The big English clubs may be superior in some ways, but don't play the most attractive football, Arsenal aside. However, that kind of high tempo game cannot be played in summer - hence how better footballing sides like Spain, Argentina, Brazil etc come into their own in summer tournaments (in general, Greece are obviously not included in that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but then I'm guessing you wanted Barcelona to win? so why do you care when all their players are earning loads more than what you are? am I not allowed to say how I feel, sorry I forget, this isn't a forum this is a must dislike Lampard thread.
