Football The 2013 / 2014 Season Thread

[Embattle]

People can hate Chelsea and perhaps even hope they lose tomorrow but this will be the third season in a row we've technically been the most successful English team in Europe, as for tomorrows game it is hard to know for sure since it'll depend who will be playing but I suspect it'll be much the same as last week.

I am glad of the result. It means the most entertaining league in the world goes right down to the wire. If Liverpool had beaten Chelsea then they would have pretty much won the league. As it stands it will go down to the last game of the season.

I get the feeling another banana might catch one of the top teams out again before the end of the season.

Perfect end to the season would now be:
City draw with Everton (78 points)
Chelsea batter Norwich (81 points)
Liverpool draw with Palace (81 points)
City beat Villa (81 points)

All three the same on the last day. City would probably still win it, but Liverpool would try to put 9 past Newcastle (which would be funny), Chelsea would have to play a balls out game, and City would be squeaky bum with everything to lose against anti-football's West Ham.

Seems like Real have come to play. Should be good this

 

[Embattle]

Oh dear Bale, that could be a painful miss.

 

[Olgaline]

[Embattle]

[Olgaline]

Pep being made to look very average here

 

[Lethul]

Pep really looks quite clueless. Have he tried to change anything yet?

Real have stepped it up a notch this season

'My tiki taka no work.. Plan B: Try tiki taka!'

I guess the no back to back CL winner continues

 

[CorNokZ]

Ronaldo, you beast

 

[Embattle]

BM well and truly tonked.

 

[Vladamir]

Ha Neuer mugged off with that last goal.

If we make it through tomorrow Mourinho has some task on his hands keeping Madrid out of the Chelsea net.

He'll think of something.

Alaba's 4th CL semi final. Alaba, the 21 year old.

We were talking in work about all the false Pep Guardiola cock sucking. They were talking the other week about the team he had built at BM. He inherited the team that won the CL and has got knocked out. He might be a good even a great manager but lets see him take an average team and make them great before we say too much.

Always said exactly this. Plus he can only play one way, with that tika taka nonsense, Bayern last year were much more impressive. They're just so damn slow now.

 

[Shagrat]

Their build up play is so slow, and they didn't seem to have an alternative. Think real could have defended that all night.

Ribery is a dirty bastard as well isn't he, lucky to get away with a blatant slap first half.

 

[megadave]

Damn, if we get through then I'd much rather play a guardiola side, Madrid look scary. If we don't then all Madrid final should be hectic.

 

[Embattle]

Tonight will be tough because we can't afford to let in even a single goal.

 

[Raven]

So Lallana to Liverpool then. They only need to spend another 50 odd million on a couple of quality defenders and they are set.

 

[soze]

If Suarez goes I could see it happening, if he stays I don't think they will spend that much on a position where they have Suarez and Coutinho?

UEFA investigating the incident apparently. Shocking response from a complete twat imo. Never liked him and not all just because he's French. Half the BM side were walking a fine line with their antics last night. So glad RM won and did it with such style.

 

[Billargh]

Nothing better than seeing that ballbag Neuer blame everyone but himself for every goal.

 

[Scouse]

Hope so. But we don't need defenders - there's nothing wrong with the ones we've got. We need a manager who knows how to set up a defence.

Or we keep outscoring the opponents and improve slightly in defence. That's probably the most exciting way...

Coutinho?

Nah. Lallana is the coutinho replacement. I think he could be better tbh - and coutinho could drop down to the bench.

Suarez must stay - and we need more offensive players - hopefully someone who's an improvement on Sturridge so we buy strength and get the depth.
