Meh, a Liverpool-Hamburg final would feel so anticlimatic at this point.

Isn't it interesting that - bar Fulham - all the teams in the UEFA cup semis have been shit in their domestic leagues?

Man, I'd have never thought one year ago that Busquets would achieve this level of internet infamy. ¡Adelante Aleti!

Always the arrogant twats.

Gotta love Gerrard's skill in already claiming for a pen as he is falling

The talk in Barcelona (Mourinho was our B team coach at the time), was that SBR had promised him that he would retire and give him the managerial post after one or two seasons (I don't remember exactly).

what in the name of f***? Much worse was the elbow to Juan Arango (third photo), Arango's life was actually in danger and had to be hospitalized urgently. Navarro was an animal, really. Actually the whole central defence of Sevilla from the mid 90s-mid 2000s were a bunch of psychopats. Pablo Alfaro, another legend. http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/object3/451/90/n107174387983_6860.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a193/varelax/videogames2copiar.jpg

Samuel Allardyce, the foreign relations expert.

Keeping with the language theme, we call that shot "semivolea" (guess could translate as "semivolley"). Is there an English word for it?

Thanks, couldn't really tell with the small size. Nice goal.

Is it Nolan in your sig, too?

You're not Spanish at all are you? You're some imposter from Birkenhead. Actually I wrote "awesome" first and then realized it sounded too yank and tried to come up with something more British Unrelated but i asked this while game was on and got no response, what do Spanish fans shout when a shot goes close - is it just "Oooooee"? ¡Uuuuuuuuuuuuy! "oooooeee" or "ooooleeee" is when you pass the ball around the players of the other side when you're up, we call that the "rondo" since you are dancing around them. It's actually a common game to play with a football when you're a kid in Spain. Was just the noise i was going off. Does "¡Uuuuuuuuuuuuy!" mean anything or just a noise, as in they didn't do it in the game i went to in South America. It's a common Spanish interjection when something comes close. I don't know, if you slip on the floor but avoid falling, somebody accompanying you would say that. @madras: yeah, it has the same origin in Spanish (since the moorish occupation). It's meant as a praise of what you're seeing, and I guess moors would praise Allah or somesuch when watching a good spectacle.

"oooooeee" or "ooooleeee" is when you pass the ball around the players of the other side when you're up, we call that the "rondo" since you are dancing around them. It's actually a common game to play with a football when you're a kid in Spain. The expression comes from bullfighting, since that's what people yell when a bullfighter makes a pass at a charging bull (like an opposition player running to get the ball off you)

Is that really your new away shirt? The watermark looks boss.

Said it before. They might be fantastic, but they are dirty and incredibly sore losers. We have a quite classless board, sadly. Pretty sure the order came out of them.

He's an arrogant bastard and he's probably going to piss me off with all the jeering he's going to come up with after defeating us, but still can't stop loving the man, he's so entertaining (not football-wise!) And Ferguson is the better manager overall, in my opinion. Of course, he's had the longest career so we'll see what Mou manages at the end of the day. Ferguson also has the advantage that Aberdeen and ManU weren't the top dogs in their leagues when he took over them.

Was the same in the first leg. How the hell did this happen? Was Valdes running around in Circles when Barca had the ball? He plays as a sweeper of sorts when we have the ball. Keepers run more than people might think, too, pull some other games statistics if you can.

Have to say that Busquests one is fucking brilliant

Agggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Ok, I'll pretend I take this sportingly and quietly cry on my bed

Ok, I'm off to watch this with some mates... I hope you neutrals enjoy the game

Or we might go 3-4-3

That's a common Spanish expression, which means "to give it all". I have been nervous the whole fucking morning at work, and while my boss usually ignores me, today he's chosen to hold a couple impromptu meetings. I'm trying to not get myself too hopeful, so the disappointment isn't so big. But still... Aggggggggggghhhhhhhhh All the media, shirts, etc... thing is something that this board has tried to bring to the table in the past few years. Comes off a bit forced to me but well, guess younger generations/gloryhunters buy into it (and buy the shirts too).
