What? last years ManU Chelsea final was brilliant. I absolutely wouldn't mind seeing that again.
[close]

But it's always the usual suspects, what are the chances of Steaua or Celtic winning it ever again? I'm tired of the same old shit on tv every tuesday/wednesday (thank fuck I don't have to pay to watch CL footy on TV). The commercialization of football is really killing the game. In a couple of years there will be an NBA type of league with the lower quality teams not being able to participate, just the same 24 or 36 teams year in year out. It disgusts me. [/rant]

I hear you on that one, but let's face it, it's not gonna change anytime soon, so I just embrace what I can get. And when you break it down like that you're still left with amazing top notch football, Michael Ballack crying and eventually also some quality shots of Edwin Van Der Sar holding babies.

It's because there are no salary caps. That way the rich teams are usually going to be the best teams. Introduce a salary cap and all of a sudden you have a much more balanced competition with great players on almost every team.

chelsea vs everton in the fa cup final.

i didnt see either game, both were pretty good apparently. drogba scored late for chelsea and everton won on penalties.

hoping that everton wins it.

I just watched the penalties in the Everton game, oh how I laughed.
Then I saw this photo of Ferguson being pissed of at the ref for not giving a penalty to ManU and I laughed some more.

Liverpool - Arsenal today was insane. So many Liverpool mistakes defensively, but it certainly made things exciting.

La Liga anyone?

fucking getafe let me down!!!

still got faith in barca though

andrei arshavin is not of this world.

Mooley · « **Reply #457 on:** April 21, 2009, 05:02:33 PM »

I don't think any premiership striker would have walked away with less than a hat trick if given the same opportunities, honestly.

tiger woods · « **Reply #458 on:** April 21, 2009, 05:43:59 PM »

probably, but they wouldn't of finished the way arshavin did, his 2nd goal was a hit and a half and i don't know how he caught up to walcott and finish near post on the 4th. he's gonna end up being as big of a signing as thierry henry was to arsenal. that being said, its going to suck watching man united win the premier league, again.

Mooley · « **Reply #459 on:** April 21, 2009, 06:39:44 PM »

Yeah he definitely made the second goal himself, beautiful strike.

Here's hoping for a Peter Crouch executed miracle tomorrow.

MAN U is the way you faggots, they kill it every year, theyl win the premier league again cause they shit all over the other teams, the only team better then them in the world atm is barca, most likely man u will play them in the champions league final and beat them again because lets be honest there to fucking good.

redrum · « **Reply #461 on:** April 28, 2009, 08:59:15 PM »

0-0 in the barca-chelsea game, hopefully it'll make the next week an interesting game.

barca went close a couple of times. you've got to give it to hiddink though, his tactic for the game went pretty well.

Mooley · « **Reply #462 on:** April 29, 2009, 12:09:12 AM »

I literally fell asleep and missed the last half hour or so. Awful waste of time.

Alan · « **Reply #463 on:** April 29, 2009, 02:45:19 AM »

I gave up in the first half and then came back for the last 20 minutes, so yeah, nothing memorable...

tiger woods · « **Reply #464 on:** April 29, 2009, 10:34:30 AM »

chelsea play the ugliest football i have ever seen, i have such a hard time watching them. man utd/arsenal has to be better than that snoozer yesterday, c'mon you gooners!!

holy crap! that game was just amazing. im happy that barca won.

redrum · « **Reply #467 on:** May 05, 2009, 03:25:27 PM »

Manchester owned the second leg. I actually thought Arsenal were going to push it in the first 5 mins and make the game difficult,
then they pretty much fucking imploded haha.

also a lot of talk yet again that Ronaldo is going to Madrid (yawn). and apparently United's thinking of a $60 million (or pounds) transfer
bid for Ribery if Ronaldo goes.

gonna go play with la novia right now.

Mooley · « **Reply #469 on:** May 05, 2009, 04:10:53 PM »

Haha yeah it's 63 million pounds for Ribery. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/may/05/manchester-united-franck-ribery-bayern-munich-cristiano-ronaldo

Ridiculous if it happens, but they ruled it out pretty quickly

So the final will be Man U - Barcelona

norrin radd · « **Reply #471 on:** May 06, 2009, 02:12:08 PM »

INIESTA!!!!

fuck that was nerve racking....chelsea did the same shit as the 1st leg and it almost worked.... maybe they were unlucky with Pique's non call but Abidal getting sent off was shit..

messi better not disappear in the final cause without abidal, alves, and marquez Man U is going to be tough

BARCA!!!

just came home from watching the game. glad to see barca win, but the referee was bad. just like ballack.

Alan · « **Reply #473 on:** May 06, 2009, 02:56:21 PM »

Poor Chelsea...I haven't seen refereeing this bad in years. More bad decisions than you could shake a stick at. Still, not really gutted that Barca went through...

Mooley · « **Reply #474 on:** May 06, 2009, 04:09:45 PM »

I was so happy for Barca. Drogba (as usual) and Anelka were disgraceful. The red card was easily one of the worst dives I've ever seen, and not having to watch this parking-the-bus bullshit again elates me. Yeah reffing was shit both ways for the most part, but none of the Chelsea penalty shouts had any merit except maybe the handball one, but even that was questionable.

ALT · « **Reply #475 on:** May 06, 2009, 06:16:46 PM »

Just watched the highlights on the news. Yeah that ref was pretty bad.

The final should be very good though, can't wait for it.

ALT · « **Reply #476 on:** May 06, 2009, 06:44:53 PM »

"It's a disgrace! It's a fucking disgrace!"

hahaha

redrum · « **Reply #477 on:** May 06, 2009, 07:26:24 PM »

haha fuck yeah! that gif is priceless, Drogba is definitely going to be in the shit if it goes to the UEFA officials.

the ref made some really bad decisions, but then again I hate Chelsea so oh well.

The final is going to be good. Unless one team wrecks shop, I think 1-0 to either or it'll go to penalties.

Mooley · « **Reply #478 on:** May 06, 2009, 08:21:27 PM »

Even though Dani Alves was fucking terrible today, with him, Marquez and Abidal gone for the final they're going to be pretty hurt in the back so things probably won't be so cagey. I'd expect a few goals, but I have a feeling United have what it takes... unfortunately.

hahaha

no joke man, the second i saw that after the match i thought to myself, man that'd be the greatest gif. ever!! big up!

yeah, that had to of been one of the worse officiated matches i've ever seen, but the goals were nuts. feel kinda bad for chelsea i really didn't want to see a repeat of last years cl final. still don't know who i got to win the final, but from the looks of it i can't see a make-shift barca defense stop man utd from scoring
