CL predictions

3 English Teams in the Semi Finals.

Your looking at the best league in Europe at present....

If it was, it would be more competive and there'd be more than two teams with a hope of winning the league. All it reflects is that the EPL is the richest league in the world, and that the top 3 or 4 clubs have very deep squads, which you need to compete in europe.

When you're talking about the best league in europe, you have three or four....but saying one is better than another isn't an easy thing to do, because they all have different styles.

What a terrible round of matches. To think the first legs had promised so much, how could it all have gone tragically wrong?

Well, the cheats, who only got to play in the CL because of gutlessness on the part of the Italian FA and UEFA, have had by far the easiest run of the four semi-finalists. Doubt they'll get past Man Utd anyway, but it makes me feel sick to the stomach that I'm obliged to support the Mancs.

Oh well, the one good thing about the semi-finals is that it's easy for us neutrals to pick who to back. Go Liverpool!

Besides the obvious choice of Man Utd, I thought Milan were very impressive this morning. Not many people gave them a chance and they just kept a clean sheet away and scored two very good goals. Inzaghi was slightly offside for the second, but they would have won anyway. His goalscoring record is fantastic, always seems to pop up in the right places.

Their tie against Man Yoo should be a good game. The other game will be a borefest.

They have never reached great, heights the old Chelsea v Liverpool games.

80% of the blame must go to Liverpool. Chelsea always play the same way which is possession build up with balls to Drogba. Whilst Chelsea might not play pretty football they do play attacking football with an attacking formation. Liverpool will come to Stamford Bridge and park the bus.

People laughing should be ashamed. Would you laugh at a funeral?

Morons.

I am still proud of my team. I wore my Roma scarf to work this morning and held my head high as people laugh. They don't know what it means to love a team like a real fan.

We were lucky to even be in the Champions league. It was only because of the calciopoli scandal we went from 5th to 2nd in Serie A. We knocked out the head and shoulders best team in France containing many players from a squad that came 2nd at the World Cup. Then we had a win against Manchester United in the first leg. Not many teams have beaten them this year and we are one of them.

Roma's story is a fairy tale this year. It is just a shame the carriage turned into a pumpkin today.

Forza Roma.

We will be better for this and will be back wiser and wanting it more. Then you can laugh on the other side of your faces.

That is all.

f**k me dead pal, get your hand off it. "Laughing at a funeral?" Good bloody grief! Your team lost a football game, and you're comparing people having a chuckle at them getting beaten 7-1 to that? Jesus!

Kaka is the key to keeping the Champions League trophy from going to England. IMO the best player in the world at the moment.

Milan were dominant just like they were against Celtic, but just like against Celtic there was a handball inside the box that should have been a penalty for the opposition that wasn't given, and that Inzaghi goal...

I saw Gattuso go down after being tapped and despite not being given a foul and the ball still being in play and Bayern on the attack, the referee blew for a stoppage to see if he was ok which is directly against the rules.

I saw about 25 dives from Milan this evening, and about 10 dodgy fouls given against Bayern when they were on the attack.

I saw the ball not cross the line but be given out for a throwin to Milan 3 times, and the ball cross the line once and not given as a throwin to Bayern.

If ever there was an example of farce, this mornings game was it. I just felt sick watching that tripe. C'mon United in the semis, even though I hate them.

I'm not going to even bother responding to that. Some of the crap you come up with is pathetic, Bumble. Do you sit there with a little notepad and pen and count the "dives" when the Italian sides play?

Bayern Munich were sh1t. No creativity in the middle of the park and no answer to a Milan side which, quite frankly, aren't half as good as Milan sides usually are.

Excellent and factual rebuttal as always hybrid.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Almost as good as the rubbish you constantly come up with. I'm not going to bother to try and respond to crap.

"Milan are cheats, scum, disgraceful because they are Italian etc. etc. etc."

 

[ParraDude_Jay]

Full of cheats? Who? How did we cheat in any of these CL games? Disgrace? Grubby? No. We were outplayed and outclassed on the field this morning, thats all. Anything else is just a f**king load of crap.

Diving is not cheating? Everything that happens to an Italian team is exagerated by at least 10x. The second foul by Scholes on Totti, it was obviously a yellow but still Totti rolls around like he'd been hit by a bus. Most of your side are divers, I could find you numerous examples of it but you'd just counter with "you don't even watch Serie A".

You are absolutely full of sh1t. Another who has never watched a Serie A game all year and then decides to stick his head out and comment like a true smartarse. Obviously still haven't gotten over the World Cup, have you? Its getting real tiresome now.

All the good Serie A games are broadcast on an Italian pay tv network, I don't speak Italian so it's no good having a subscription. But I do watch the ESPN games, so you're talking absolute sh*t saying I don't watch Serie A, I watch quite a bit of it mate not that you care since it's just your excuse everytime the integrity of Italian football and it's fans is called into question.

At the end of the day, Roma played some great football in this CL campaign and did well considering they weren't even supposed to be in this competition.

I see, now that you've lost it's "we shouldn't have even been in this competition", but before the loss it's "Man Yoo won't be in the competition next week".

And this is something you see every SINGLE game, in any league. Including your beloved Premier League. Your argument is one always used by those with little idea about the game, its something thats been part of the football for decades, and something that no country or club is to blame for individually. Why can't you just get this?

What I find laughable is that you think Italy is the only country that dives, or that the Serie A is the only league where players exaggerate fouls. Obviously you've never watched the likes of C.Ronaldo, Drogba, Robben etc. etc. play, have you? But I guess they don't do anything wrong as they don't play for an Italian side? The whole crap about Italy being the only league that has divers, or Italians being the only ones that feign injury is a load of rubbish. And since you are in the blame game, any South American team or nation, or Portugese side carry on with far more crap than Italians do. And you would only disagree because you are still bitter about the World Cup.

I mean, you happen to support a side with one of the biggest divers in the game and here you are going around and sprouting sh1t about Roma cheating. FFS. Did Totti cheat? No, he was chopped from behind at the ankles from someone who is unable to tackle without fouling. So f**king what if he exaggerated the foul, any player would have done the same. I can't believe you even used that example, at least try and find something that wasn't a foul, detective.

I see, now that you've lost it's "we shouldn't have even been in this competition", but before the loss it's "Man Yoo won't be in the competition next week".

Ever heard of a joke?

Nah mate, you can't say that sh1t around here.

They are a team full of divers, filthy stinking cheats and Italian scum and most likely bribed their way through every one of those achievements you just listed above.

 

[Milo7]

I`ll give you the hot tip either way right f**king now....

The violence in these two matches will be Astounding, INSIDE and OUT of the game...

Mate last time I check he can say just about anything he f**king wants to, next time you have another stupid comment like that again feel free not to share it, u farkstain.

 

[Milo7]

And BTW Milan are the best Italian team in Serie A!
