UEFA Champions League 2009/10

[weasel]

Both calls were very close, Pique looks offside from the television angle but it really didn't give a good impression of the position of the defenders on the farside of the box, marginal decision.

Keita's handball? Hmm, I will go with the ref's decision here, if it does connect with his hand it's only slight at best, most of the contact is definitely with his chest, but at full speed it's easy to think there's some clear hand contact.

I won't lie. I was about to erupt when that Bojan shot went in.

Football's a cruel mistress.

We didn't deserve to win this. Inter defended their guts out and deserved the win. Falling over the at the last hurdle. The only thing more depressing is losing in the final. GO BAYERN!

 

[Bulldog Force]

Pique is Barca's best defender and forward :lol:

If you're after an attacker defender, then you mean Dani Alves

As for our best defender, there's no doubt it's our courageous captain, and Spain's assistant captain, the one and only Carles Puyol

A win for football. Well done to The Special One and the Typical Germans!

 

[Panther_Daz]

So Sneijder and Robben return to the ground that they were shown the door at last Summer. Both have been instrumental in their teams run to the Final. Well done Real for cutting them!

A win for football. The right team went through. Inter deserved it. They must beat Bayern. Hate it if Bayern won this year, they can win next year. This year belongs to Inter.

What's the point on spending big on Ibrahimobitch if you're going to play Pique as a striker when it really matters. Zlatan looks a worse signing than Berbatov. 46 mil. euro + Eto'o for Ibrahimovic :lol:

I'd love to see Bayern represent Europe in Dubai at this years CWC.

Why did we sell Pique...

Honestly, I feel embarassed for people who can classify a match where one team played 90 minutes with pretty much no intention but to have ten men behind the ball the whole time a win for football. If this kind of gameplan brings success, and inspires others to adopt it, long term it's going to be to the detriment of us the viewers.

I s'pose bitterness forces some to plumb some pretty pathetic depths.

Tbf Motta's red card left Inter with no other choice. Barca's one shot on target against Chelsea was supposedly a win for football, I see no difference here. Its amusing tongue in cheek, get over it.

How else do Inter win? Football is attack and defence, both are of equal importance. Just because one is more aesthetic doesn't mean the other should be frowned upon. Not many teams are capable of doing what Inter did this tie. Detriment to the viewers? Please, wasn't Barca's lack of any real imagination also a detriment? I suppose you would prefer Inter to be tactically naive and reckless as Arsenal? All tactics are vallid. Inter's defensive game was great to watch. Defending well is not anti-football; diving, playacting, and deliberately fouling are.

The Special One made a Mess-i of Barcelona. ;-)

Has anyone found Lionel Messi - seems he's gone missing ;-)

I guess Drogba never has that problem in the CL. You generally always know where Didier is at the end of a CL campaign....Sent off

*boom tish*

Well played sir, well played.

WTF was I smoking when I wrote that :lol: ** I meant attacking defender

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dani_Alves

Daniel Alves da Silva (born 6 May 1983 in Juazeiro), commonly known as Dani Alves, is a Brazilian defender who currently plays as an attacking right back for Spanish La Liga club Barcelona and the Brazilian national team.

That's what I meant dude lol.

Congrats Inter, Im glad that if we had to lose, it was to an Italian side, I will be cheering them on in the final.

I am f**king outraged with Sergio Busquets and that sh*t, f**k that was awful, i hate that sh*t in our game and when a player from the team i support does it, its f**king embarrassing. Hopefully they somehow let Thiago Motta play in the final. Besides all that, before the red card, Inter actually seemed to be playing football, the game was a more open affair and we could have got the 2 goals easily imo.

Piques goal was easily onside.

Ive said it since we signed him, but Zlatan doesnt fit our system, he doesnt have the technique. Horrible signing.

Bojan is far from overrated.

On replays, Toure handballed. But live, i never heard the whistle, so when bojan "scored" i was going f**king crazy in my living room, only to go back to sadness
