Taylor Swift Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Disappointing match. Chelsea are a horrible football club. Even though they got what they came for (as did Man Utd last year), they did not exactly endear themselves to the neutral fan. This is why I hope Barcelona rape all the teams left in the competition this year. I know it's practical to be defensive but come on, you're ruining football, man, and this mentality, if it's constantly successful, will spread. Barca will be in a bit of trouble at the back for the second leg with Puyol suspended and Marquez out with a cruciate (or so it looked to me) but they created chances today with Chelsea having 11 men in their half for most of the match and I think they'll be able to win it at Stamford Bridge. Here's hoping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 By the way, Mike jinxed it by saying Barca have scored in 50 straight matches. You have a real talent for ruining it for everyone, dude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Fucking hate Chelsea. Negative as fuck, did nothing but stifle Barca, never even really thought about launching an attack of their own. Can't wait til Chelsea attack at home, and Barca absolutely thrash them Munich style. Bit disappointed with Messi tonight, very good when going at players, but never really impacted the game as much as I would have liked him to. Thought Iniesta and Xavi were superb though.

Mr. Snrub Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Iniesta moves around the pitch like a ballet dancer, his balance is ridiculous. Unbelievable player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Iniesta moves around the pitch like a ballet dancer, his balance is ridiculous. Unbelievable player. It's nice to watch people not dive at every bit of contact (like Alves and Drogba tonight). I always appreciate a player that moves about the pitch and only goes down if there is serious contact, there's too many players these days that go down under such minimal contact it's sickening. Imagine the number of players that could be world-class if they didn't spend half their time on the ground. Stay up, keep the ball, do something your team rather than just diving to get a free-kick.

Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Should of been 15 minutes injury time the amount of time people were rolling about in the 2nd half. Destroyed the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TêteDeMaure Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 To be fair, even though Barca are much easier on the eye, we all know how hard defending seemingly is, so Chelsea done magnificently well to stifle them. Anyone but Man U first, anyone but Barca second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Iniesta was the best player on the pitch, by a mile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yes Chelsea to an extent did a half decent job of shutting up shop, but brilliant give me a break. Eto'o, Henry, Bojan and Hleb all missed opportunities while Henry could of had a penalty. Tonight's result is down to Barca's sloppiness as it is Chelsea's defensive strength.

Guest firetotheworks Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Well, I was really looking forward to that. Only got to say the second half, and it was what the french call 'proper shit'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Why are they praising Cech?! I've never seen worse distribution from a keeper in a match in my life, he couldn't catch a cold in the arctic and none of the saves he had to make were even any good. Horrible Chelsea c***s. So negative. At least 6 behind the ball all game and just hoofing it when they get it. Oh well, still confident they'll get done at Stamford Bridge where they are slighty less boring and leave a bit more space. Chelsea are rather strong at the Bridge, i'm sure you know this. I doubt they'll get pasted. Defensively Barc aren't the strongest. Whilst i'm confident Barca will score, i'm also confident Chelsea will score. Totally in the balance.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Iniesta was the best player on the pitch, by a mile. Just came on to post that, he really is a class act... lovely mover with the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 No Berbatov, thank god for that! I saw him getting a goal on his head tonight tbh. No Djourou though And Denilson should have been in ahead of Diaby. My stomach is doing somersaults, so nervous now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 How come all the commentators are talking about Fergie becoming the first manager to repeat as CL champs? I'm sure there's been many teams that have won it two times in a row. I think Real started off by winning it 5 in a row so what's this bs all about?

Taylor Swift Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 What shiteness! So what if a shitty little group stage was added to the European Cup?
