[donKey jote]

oooooooHHHHHH that was close :D

[odykas]

Noooooooooooo Messi

[odykas]

What a match! :eek:

[donKey jote]

casillasss :dozey: :p

[donKey jote]

crazy phase :D

[donKey jote]

2-1 :mad: :D

[odykas]

I had hopes this match would never end!

Unbelievable! :D

[odykas]

Meanwhile in Italy....

Sampdoria 1 - 0 Inter Milan

:p:

[steveaki13]

Hoorah....... 4 points:p

[gadjo_dilo]

Lol. Felt asleep and wake up right now.
Congrats guys.

[Storm]

^I was damn sleepy by midnight and kickoff was 0130, but a match like this...makes sleep go away...as does the Barca defence to be honest

but yeah crazy game...3 points is all that matters. Only fly in the ointment is stupid CR7 and his goal celebration. Bale is useless- confirmed (sure he is fast but adds nothing else to the game, Benzema was so much better than both)

Neymar needs to learn how to finish a chance laid out on a platter. Tips from Suarez maybe? ;)
It could have been 5-1 or 4-3 !

[A FONDO]

Could have been 1-4 too

[Storm]

yes, that's why I said 4-3 - Madrid could have had a couple more goals in the 1st half but in the 2nd half? They were nowhere while Barca wasted a couple of great chances and had a couple saved...That Alba one would have been a goal if anyone of the top 3 had been on it (well maybe not Ney ;) )

[steveaki13]

Neyboy couldn't score a tap in. :p

[odykas]

Neytorres not the best finisher in the world :p:

[anfield5]

Neymar = pathetic.

Why does he have to roll around on the ground like someone has cut his leg of with a rusty axe, simply because a RM player taps his shin pad. Basically it is cheating to try and get a fellow professional sent off. This is were vidoe refs should be used and players guilty of this sort of blatant behaviour should be banned from the game.

Sure he was kicked and it was a free kick, but there is no excuse for this kind of utter bullshit. He is not the only one, but he is absolutely one of the worst.

[Storm]

To be honest this is true for most Brazilian and/or Portuguese players. Some others like Busquets aren't averse to that either.

[Storm]

agreed. But best time for diplomatic relations ahem...at home ;)

[gadjo_dilo]

International break... the worst time in football ever. :)
We still have the qualifiers for Euro 2016.
We'll have a tough match against Faroe Islands. :angel:

[gadjo_dilo]

Romania - Faroe Islands 1-0
Horrible match. We played nothing :s

[steveaki13]

Not a great result. Faroe's are not exactly legends. At least its a win.

Meanwhile Scotland done the honourable thing and let Gibraltar score their first goal.

[anfield5]

Ah good ole Scotland. It only seems like yesterday they were playing above themselves to earn a draw with the mighty Faroe Islands

[gadjo_dilo]

Lol. Faroe Islands could score in the last minutes and I'm sorry they couldn't.
Let's not forget they won against Greece.

[Storm]

Greece in last place? ody may not even be watching it :s

[steveaki13]

Some unlikely things happening now the format is change. Faroe's playing well. Wales topping their group. Greece last.

England looking good :laugh:

[gadjo_dilo]

These feroese players are amateurs and play for fun ( sort of Marconi Athletic :p )and I just love them.
Just imagine that their captain ( a carpenter) couldn't play last night because his employer needed him at work. :laugh:

[steveaki13]

These feroese players are amateurs and play for fun ( sort of Marconi Athletic :p )and I just love them.


Who Marconi Athletic. ;)

Ashes and rubble. The Ranieri effect!

Not to mention they play now without the lovely Samaras. :angryfire:

Same crappy players almost made it to WC Q finals ;)

With a proper coach though :dozey:

[pino]

Good players don't need a good coach ;)

[gadjo_dilo]

Good players don't need a good coach ;)

Then why do good players need a coach at all? :confused:

[pino]

Exactly !!!

[pino]

Italy vs England tonight, anyone ? :p:

[steveaki13]

I am out. :mad: so will miss it.

Good Luck Pino ;)

[pino]

Boring match so far, have fun steve ;)

[pino]

Fair result after an exciting 2nd half ! :up:

Good players don't need an Italian coach ;)

[Storm]

:D

[donKey jote]

stoopid Barca gave away 2 points in the second half :dozey:

[pino]

Stoopid Juve lost at Parma :eek: still +12 though ! ;)

[Storm]

stoopid Barca gave away 2 points in the second half :dozey:
:s yeah but Sevilla played pretty well to be honest...also Neymar off and Xavi on did not make much sense and then had to bring Pedro to search for a goal...They definitely miss a Larson type striker who can come on late in the game and poach a goal.

Madrid derbi again tomorrow, happy that 1 hr earlier now that the clocks have finally change in bloody Europe. still after midnight :mad:

Barca v PSG should be good too.

[steveaki13]

That 0-2 slip has made me nervous.

Barca are better than the last couple of years, but still have a weakness at times.

[pino]

Juventus- Monaco tonight, anyone? :p:

[pino]

Steve, when Juve is favorite, they never play, as they can and should. That's why they were so bad vs Monaco. I guarantee that, in Monaco it will be another story. And I really do hope to meet Barca in semi, given that we will win in Monaco...

[pino]

Ody go to sleep !

[pino]

You guys are wearing this !
590

[steveaki13]

In all seriousness Pino. I think you have a good chance to beat Barca. They still have issues that can be exploited by better sides.

I was only teasing.

Juventus v Barca would be a cracking tie.

[pino]

When Juve are totally free in the head, and without pressure, they can beat any Teams. And usually we play better vs stronger Teams, that's why I do hope it will be Barca in semi. If we manage to get there...

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Porto 3 - 1 Bayern

Pep Guardiola to be leave Bayern and move to Man City in the summer..............
And Klopp to Bayern........

Maybe?

[pino]

In Italy media are saying that Fat Waiter will be coaching City, next year :eek:

[Storm]

0-3 Barca. Messi taking a back seat these days

but more effective as a passer/creative player than some others *cough*
Luiz 50million :laugh:

I think it is Juve's year though, did you non zebras see that refs are nice not just in serie A? ;) :p:

fat waiter? no way, infact I think Klopp might go there!
Pep might not leave as he probably has unfinished business at Bayern.

Can't wait to read ody and Storm, about the referee haha :p:

Liverpool vs Villa or F1? Footie this time :)

Liverpool all the time. :p

[steveaki13]

Yay Team in red........


Ferrari that is :devil:

[gadjo_dilo]

Don't know what Ferrari is doing, but Liverpool is losing. :bigcry:

Must have been because they played in yellow. :s

[Storm]

F1 was dull, so was the footie this week-end....

not really,this Barca fans' worst nightmare - defending atrociously...especially Pique (looked like he was doing well this season until this)
Valencia had about 5/6 clear chances in the 1st half itself including a penalty which Bravo saved....thanks to the goals in min 1 and last min that they won 2-0 but this was a shocker.

:eek:

[Rollo]

Villa 2 - Liverpool 1
Grump, grump, grump, grump.


I have been affected by the issues in tonight's football match; so I will ring the the crisis and complaint line on: 1800-10-10-10.
That's 1800-Won Nothing-Won Nothing-Won Nothing.

[pino]

2-0 win over Lazio, and +15 now. The 4th scudetto on row, it's more than safe. Let's now focus on Monaco ! :D

Disappointing day really. But we can't argue with the result.If Mario's goal had have been allowed to stand (as it should have been - 2 yards onside ref!!!). Villa would have felt robbed. On the day they were simply the better team on the park.

[gadjo_dilo]

Hey! Barca guys....
Where are you?:wave:

[steveaki13]

Hi Gadjo

Watching the first half, then I am off out.

Tie is over. As it also seems to be heading in Germany.

[Storm]

Can I sleep early? 2 nil. Bayern doing a number on Porto too

[pino]

Bayern already 5-0, and Barca 2-0, boring evening Zzzzzzzzz :p:

[gadjo_dilo]

For the first time I have the chance to watch Barca live and no one is in the mood to comment.
Good night!
:angryfire:

[Storm]

Lol,gadjo...i never post when i watch football, Tonight was rare that I am online from my phone. Anyway i worry about leaving a match before it ends because that's when crazy things seem to happen!

[odykas]

ZzZZzzZZz today :dozey:

Well done Juve, now let's destroy Barca in semifinals !!! Haha :p:

Donkey and co, it's so easy to support a Team who earns 3/4 times more than most other Club. No thanks ! :p:

[Storm]

Well done Juve, now let's destroy Barca in semifinals !!! Haha :p:

yeah, when you can't score from open play against Monaco, you can score against Barca right...
on second thoughts, it will be easier to score against Barcelona, but can you stop them scoring? :D

I do hope Bayern get their revenge on Madrid and Barca get theirs on Bayern in the final ;)

[pino]

Stop dreaming my friend, and pray you don't have to play Juve in semifinals. Juve didn't need to score, Monaco had to ;) :p:

[gadjo_dilo]

I call this premonition. I even didn`t know this guy is playing for Real. Still, all yesterday morning I was repeating: Chicharito, Chicharito, Chicharito.....:confused:

[gadjo_dilo]

Stop dreaming my friend, and pray you don't have to play Juve in semifinals. Juve didn't need to score, Monaco had to ;) :p:

But people come to football for goals. It`s frustrating to see the teams that are supposed to be the best of the moment playing to keep a result.

[pino]

But people come to football for goals. It`s frustrating to see the teams that are supposed to be the best of the moment playing to keep a result.

We did our best vs a very good Team, organized and motivated. Morata was sick, Tevez and Pirlo in bad shape, and Pogba is still recovering from his injuries. Wish we had played as good as we did in Dortmund, we just couldn't. Most important thing, was to reach the semifinals, we did it. Remember that we have already reached Coppa Italia final, and almost won our 4th scudetto on row. Now we are among 4 best in Europe, with a much much less money budget than Barca, Bayern and Real, but also PSG and a dozen of English Clubs...

[Storm]

gadjo jokes apart, sometimes you have to grind out a result, hold on to a lead to progress..so I agree with what pino says and am happy ZZuve are in the top 4 again.

of course when you do that play in every match and still win then its boring (Chelsea or most Mou teams)

[pino]

So easy to play well and win most of the times, when you have so much money, so you can afford players like Messi, Neymar, and Haanibal-Suarez as strikers, right Storm ? Even much easier to support such a Club...

[gadjo_dilo]

of course when you do that play in every match and still win then its boring (Chelsea or most Mou teams)

Still il catenaccio is mostly an italian thing although it was lead to perfection by an argentinian- Helenio Herrera. :p

[pino]

For the record, Juve has played 227 matches in CL.

112 won
57 draw
58 defeat

[gadjo_dilo]

Now we are among 4 best in Europe, with a much much less money budget than Barca, Bayern and Real, but also PSG and a dozen of English Clubs...
Imagine the budget of Steaua Bucharest in 1986 when they won the European Champions Cup. :p

They were rewarded with a ARO car. :laugh:

[pino]

Still il catenaccio is mostly an italian thing although it was lead to perfection by an argentinian- Helenio Herrera. :p

You and many others in here, needs to update yourself, about Serie A. You guys are years and years behind ;)

[gadjo_dilo]

I know. I admit I should have been born in the Middle Ages.
But I`m stuck on the times when football was more of a game than a business.

[Storm]

I was agreeing with you and now you go and spoil it :p:
Messi was not bought, they have a philosophy and try to use as many academy players as possible...They had to go and buy big players to compete with what Madrid kept doing all the time...

It is easy to support a club which wins a lot and plays well and has many fans (But then isn't Juventus one of those clubs in the Italian context too? ). In my case I liked the way they played and the whole identity of that club just clicked for me. Also I became a fan when they had won only 1 European cup and well before their golden period from 2005 onwards, infact they were being bullied by Madrid at that time in the league and Europe.

[gadjo_dilo]

They had to go and buy big players to compete with what Madrid kept doing all the time...

...... infact they were being bullied by Madrid at that time in the league and Europe.

:confused: I thought it was the opposite. They always bought the biggest names. Cruyff, Maradona......
I remember the match Belgium - Argentina in WC 1982 when someone said that the money spent on Maradona could have bought the entire Standard Liege for Barcelona. :devil:

[pino]

I know. I admit I should have been born in the Middle Ages.
But I`m stuck on the times when football was more of a game than a business.

I too wish that, football was just a game. Now, most Club are owned by rich Arabs, Russian, American (and now also Asian) rich businessman. Isn't a game anymore ! And yes Juventus is owned by Agnelli Family, but they never put so much money in the Club. That's why in the past, we sold players like Zidane, Henry, Vieri, and next will be Pogba.

[Big Ben]

You and many others in here, needs to update yourself, about Serie A. You guys are years and years behind ;)
I did update about serie A. Unfortunately it's a downgrade :p

[Storm]

And Madrid did not buy big players then?At least in the post Cryuff (coach) era, Barca have had a strong academy with emphasis on home grown players. But to compete you need to buy of course.

[pino]

I did update about serie A. Unfortunately it's a downgrade :p

Dortmund-Juventus 0-3

Call that a downgrade??? Hahaha !

[Storm]

at least you'll make a huge profit on Pogba. Can buy a few others based on the CL money too.

[gadjo_dilo]

And yes Juventus is owned by Agnelli Family, but they never put so much money in the Club..

I remember being a kid and reading an auto almanach ( I know, I was sad since I was a kid ) and an article was "A universe called Juventus" , about the old lady being the team of Fiat and about its many fans. The weirddo I still am always makes this association. I mean whenever you say Juventus I say A universe called Juventus -Fiat and have a flashback of the tifosi pictures in the almanach. :crazy:

[donKey jote]

Dortmund-Juventus 0-3

Call that a downgrade??? Hahaha !
Dortmund, currently in top form in ninth place, almost 40 points behind Bayern :dozey: :andrea: :p

[pino]

Meanwhile boring Serie A, brought 3 Clubs in semifinals. Juventus in CL, Napoli and Fiorentina, in EL. So much for a downgrade haha !

[Big Ben]

Dortmund-Juventus 0-3

Call that a downgrade??? Hahaha !

What should I say now? Something about AS Roma - Bayern :p?

[Big Ben]

Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against Italian football. But in 2003 (I think) 2 Italian teams played the final. How far are those days now? I'd like Juventus to win the CL because I always root for the underdog when I don't really care about any of them. But the really tough part starts now. BVB looks like a team falling apart and Monaco may be a strong team but nothing extraordinary.

[pino]

And why you think that happened ? Many foreign rich people invested loads of money on English Club. Germany never really had a financial crisis like we still have in Italy, and Barca and Real Madrid, are, and will always be too rich for any Italian Club, to compete with them. Also add that, we didn't had a good new generation of new players, like we always had in the past. All this put Serie A behind PL, La liga and German Bundesliga. Today we have 3 Club in semifinals, but unless rich people invest in Serie A, or Italy financial crisis ends, will be difficult for Serie A to go back on top, as we were in the past.

Btw, I never read anything nice from you about Italy and the Italian, so it's hard to believe, you have nothing against Italian football. But that's your problem ;)

[Big Ben]

I'm sure I did say at least one nice thing about Italy. I was delighted when they beat Germany in Euro 2012 semis for instance. I love Italy but I don't care for any Italian team in particular right now. I used to like Juventus back in the days of Pavel Nedved. But I also liked the Milan of Shevchenko and the Roma of Totti (at his peak). And I think Pirlo is a genius :p. And listening a whole stadium sing the Inno di Mameli gives me goose bumps for some reason :p. So I'd say I'm at least neutral.... as long Balotelli is not involved. My distaste for the guy knows no bounds :p.

[pino]

EL draw:

Napoli-Dnipro
Fiorentina-Sevilla

Now waiting for CL draw...

I think I was mocking Liverpool on the other thread but never mind. It's not so much fun picking up on a small team.

You did so divine justice is made. Your words had to disappear.....:p

I was out last night Storm, but saw the goals. Great stuff. Only Getafe, but nice (for me a fanboy) to see Messi looking so sharp again after a few quiet matches.

[pino]

Seriously guys, if Barca we keep playing at this level, none will have a chance, not in the Liga, not in CL...

[Storm]

The front three have gelled to perfection just need to see if they can continue like this in the crunch game vs Bayern and the match vs Atletico which might end up deciding La Liga!

The problem as always is they come against a team which only wants to defend 90' (Getafe tried but they do not have the quality or intensity needed to defend the whole game), but this year it looks like they have plan B, at least their plan A itself is tweaked to be more effective with Messi on the right side.

and of course lets not talk about the brain fade that happens to people like Pique in some matches :s

[steveaki13]

Bayern is going to be very very tough.

[anfield5]

Far more fun to mock MANure. I mean getting flogged 3-0 by Liverpool B is absolutely priceless :)

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I don't want to p155 on the Barca fans parade but the standard of teams in the bottom half of La Liga is very poor.

The gap between the big 3 is increasing. And If Real Madrid and Barca don't start sharing the TV money around fairly then the gap will continue to grow. To put it in perspective, most of the teams in the bottom half of La Liga operate on budgets lower than many clubs in the English Championship. No wonder Real and Barca regularly thump teams 6-0 and 9-1.

^Even if that is quite true you still have to watch out for those "lower" teams...Getafe got a 2-2 draw in the Camp Nou last season which effectively meant Barca lost the title to AtM.

The same Getafe who got thumped 6-0, drew 0-0 in the earlier fixture of the season..

That is the beauty of Football. You get more upsets than in other sports. Like Bradford beating Chelsea in the FA Cup or Cambridge drawing with Man Utd or even FC Porto beating Bayern the other week.

But my general point was that the gap between top and bottom in La Liga is relatively much greater than it is in other European leagues. It seems that every club in Spain apart from Barcelona and Real Madrid are in a financial mess and have to sell their best players every season.

Meanwhile...:D

[steveaki13]

Sad news to hear Jimmy Greaves has had a bad stroke. I know personally from my mother what his family must be going through. Tough times. :(

He could certainly score a goal that man..... :)

[Storm]

Barca must sign Zlatan again ! :evil:

:blackeye:

I thought Messi had some sense...

anyways congrats Pino for the scudetto (although we all knew from day 1 that Juve will win and Roma will fall away badly) , forza juve tomorrow night ;)

[pino]

Let's hope Juve will play at their best tomorrow. CL is much important than scudetto !!!

[pino]
