Football The 2009/2010 Season Thread

[Corran]

Do kindly fuck off, it was a tongue in cheek joke.

But if you want to be serious about it - one was a cynical foul to stop an opponent, one was a clumsy brush. I'll leave it to you try and work out which was which.

Tbh, neither of them actually match up to either the challenges

 

[Ch3tan]

If Wenger plays Nasri centre, and Wlnut and Arshavin on the wings at Nou Camp they might have a chance. Tricky with the 2 away goals Barca have though.

Quality match for a neutral that, and I'm glad neither me nor Vlad won our bets.

 

[Embattle]

poor old fabregas hobbling around at the end played his heart out.

Nothing more than he deserves imo with that pen he got.

 

[Vladamir]

I slipped a cheeky few on a draw after Walcott scored, puts me back where i started today

Brave decision to play Fabregas tonight - Wenger must be hoping he's not crocked him for the run-in.

 

[Marc]

2-0 it was game over, 2-2 and arse have a chance. I still think we will go through though

 

[megadave]

Bit of karma for Barcelona there after last year when they shouldnt have even been in the final, shame there wasnt another 3 penalties to really dick them. That said, did piss me off that L'Arse get a penalty for that when we got shit all

Disappointed by Barcelona. Not at all as expansive in the attack is usual, probably because Messi was out of position and they had no one to play on the left. They seemed to not bother in the last 25 minutes aswell? I thought Toure should have come in to freshen midfield. Their attack also completely died when Ibrah came off.

Predictions for the second leg? 3-0 for me.

 

[Ch3tan]

What do you mean by this?

Well clearly he is sick with confusion, not knowing if you are talking about Barca, Everton or Spain

 

[megadave]

Using "we" for any team can be annoying, doing it when you live in another country and it's "the best team in the world" is laughable.

When do I ever refer to Everton as "we"? They are my fave premiership team but thats not saying a lot. Ive only been to watch them once wheras ive been to the nou camp countless times.

 

[Raven]

Didn't see a lot of Messi really... Barca should have used their possession a lot better. If they can't score 3-4 with that much possession and quality of midfield passing then they don't deserve to win. Arsenal still have a chance but I can't see them winning away. As for the red, he didn't have a choice really, it was a foul, though clumsy more than anything.

Really? I bet ive been to more Barcelona home games than you, vlad, chetan and chodax have been to home games for your respective teams. I shouldnt need to explain myself but I was at the nou camp when you were still a twinkle in your old mans eye

 

[megadave]

I dont care. You are a gloryhunter.

 

[Ch3tan]

Marc, you should know by now that only Everz and Turamber care whether people go to games or not.

 

[Marc]

I dont care. You are a gloryhunter.

You're right, my first game at the nou camp was when I was 5 years old. It was Maradonna's first home game. Obviously because I was a glory hunter.

Im sure you were a massive chelsea fan before Abromavich werent you

 

[Vladamir]

I'm not gonna lie i've only been to two football games ever - Chelsea vs Sheffield Wednesday and Pompey vs Man City, people can class me as whatever type of fan they like

I don't take issue with people who support a team from another country, nor do i care if people call me a glory hunter, this is the internet afterall

The pompey game was much more fun to go to though

 

[Corran]

I would guess you been to less then Cho, without taking the others into account.

As much as Turamber annoys me (often), he also will have been to more Villa games then you been to nou camp games I would think.

But honestly, wtf does it matter. Many a clueless person have been to 10 times the games you been too all combined and not refer to the team as "we"

...
but then I dont care and not putting much thought into it.
Dont know your ages etc so it all means very little guessing. Im just bored

 

[Marc]

Marc, you should know by now that only Everz and Turamber care whether people go to games or not.

I was making the point ive been a fan since I was in short pants. As ive said before, my father was a scout so being dragged to games I had no choice.

Thats why I didnt mention Turamber, I know he goes to games, he doesnt like us to forget that fact

 

[megadave]

Haha, winding up gold

Actually i went to way more Chelsea games pre-Abramovic. When he came in i became a DAoC geek and stopped caring. I actually didnt pay much attention to football when we did the double, just the paper and motd

Vlad we should meet up and go to a game one time and then have rampant c6

 

[Ch3tan]

LOL, I think it speaks volumes of your disappointment at the result today that you are even bothering to argue this

It was a fucking joke you numpty.

COurse im disapointed. To throw away a 2 goal lead is shocking.

 

[megadave]

This quote from another forum might cheer you up. Probably not though.

Walcott on? all he has is pace too his game, does Wenger not realise Barca have pacey Full backs?

Wasted sub there.

How would that cheer me up? Ive just seen my team throw away a 2 goal lead and my idol has left me embarassed after all the man love ive given him on here in recent weeks.

 

[Ch3tan]

I think you should stop taking about messi, you are clearly jinxing him. Change your avatar too.

 

[Marc]

Not to mention a shocking pen decision. Typical of euro refs, always favouring the english teams

LOL, now you are really being an idiot. Think quite a few Arsenal and Chelsea fans will find issue with the validity of that claim.

Touche you idiot

 

[megadave]

Lol chillaxe.

You are right to be disappointed, you're team stopped playing after 65 minutes. But look on the brightside; two away goals, and from my experience you are better at home. You created more chances in 5 minutes than in the whole 180 against us, might not have scored but what are the chances of Almunia saving that many again, ever?

Everyone has off days. Hopefully Messi won't be played out of position next time. Will Iniesta be back?

Messi has been playing there for the last 4 weeks or so. Its where hes been playing when he scored his 8 goals in 3 games, just wasnt as effective today. Iniesta might be back at the weekend, but I would imagine as sub.
