ponsaelius Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Scottish football is such a joke. I took in Hearts v Dundee United at Tynecastle before Christmas. It was 0-0 and absolutely shocking. I went to see Hearts v Aberdeen towards the end of last season and it was actually a very entertaining game, fantastic atmosphere aswell. I do agree with general premise though, Scottish football being a joke and all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesPaul Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I was in a pup watching our game tonight but I was the only toon fan and everyone else was a Liverpool fan. The facilitated me by giving me the old telly in a little corner of the pub, which was fine by me BUT they put the Liverpool match on the surround sound so I heard their comentry and none of our match. The atmosphere at Anfield was fuckin s**** I can tell you. The goals were celebrated but that was it. Nothing else the whole game, OT worthy atmosphere. f*** sake, I bet they wouldn't average 42K in the Championship. I always celebrate promotion with a spot of beastiality.

Mowen Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I wish John Motson would f*** off and retire. His voice literally couldn't be more annoying. Yes, definately. He's had more comebacks than Frank Sinatra. Problem is, theres so few GOOD commentators coming through. Can't think of one on Radio 5 for instance (I include Alan "Knobhead" Green) Let alone MOTD John Murray is always top class when I hear him. I like Mike Ingham too. Massively different skill commentating on the radio and on the telly mind. Fully agree about Green, on the radio you're supposed to bring the game to life, not spend the whole time whinging. Think he might actually work better on the tv when you know whether or not you agree with his opinions, sort of like Andy Grey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordiesned Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Wasn't sure where to put this but MOTD2 will be after a new presenter next season. Adrian Chiles has quit the BBC and signed a 4 year contract with ITV where he'll be presenting their World Cup coverage amongst other things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame everything else on ITV football coverage is beyond awful. Really liked Chiles ever since Working Lunch, always been good on the footy too.

SEMTEX Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Fuck that. Forza filthy Inter, or some such Italian shit. I hope Wesley cracks in at least 12. All from the half way line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I`m a bit surprised about how many people i meet who seem to want Inter to win tonight, the Barca wankathon here in Norway is amazingly huge but about every person i have talked to the last couple of days seems to want Inter to give them a proper beating. Strange, maybe they are on a jinxing quest or something I know most shitcocks on here want a Barca win of course and was proper prepared for more people to hate on Inter but it seem to be reversed somehow. Strange as it may sound, people might just want Barcelona to win irrespective of whether the other team is the one you support. I want Barcelona to win because they play the best football in Europe (after Newcastle.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagerstedt Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Can't really see Barca leaving the pitch without scoring for two consecutive games. The game against Espanyol you could see why they bought Zlatan, to sort of get a plan B when their plan a, which is passing the ball around like crazy, fails. Just a shame Zlatan couldn't make the full 90. I'm going for a draw tonight, which means it most likely won't be a draw... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Italian football is boring, La Liga isn't (some shit team ofc). Barca are a class team and a very well run club, thus I hope Barca shit all over them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Having seen Barca playing against Stuttart earlier in this CL campaign I just can't see them getting anything tonight. Mourinho and Inter have shown against Chelsea how good (tactical) they are. They'll get a win tonight imo and I even think they'll win the Champions League. Hoping it anyway as I hate Barca.

Disco Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I have found peace in the fact that most guys/girls? on here doesn't like Inter and it's ok for me now. So it would be just natural that Italian hating Englishmen want Barca to tag them properly. Just amazed that my experience before this game is the other way around of what i thought it would be. The main reason people don't like Inter is because of the way they conducted themselves against us in the CL a few years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I'm not surprised a lot of toon fans hate Inter. We've played both teams twice and there's only one stadium we had flares and piss thrown at us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Can't wait for this one, won't be easy and the team started to look tired against Espanyol. I don't really hate Inter, always been my favorite Italian team (because of the HH/Luís Suárez connection). So I hope they go and win the whole thing if we lose (which they probably would against Bayern/Lyon). Also, here in the USA I don't find many people supporting us, quite the contrary, I get jeered a lot of the time I wear my Barça shirts. I think it's because most of the EPL gloryhunters resent us defeating ManU/Arsenal/Chelsea in the past 12 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocho Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Mr Idiot, how do you think Atletico will do against Liverpool? I've got a competition at work (guess the right score, 1st goalscorer) and some inside info would be good! Also, do think there's anything in Torres not wanting to play against Atletico after he missed the games between the two sides a few years ago?

Torres' injury is pretty serious, I wouldn't read anything into his decision to get surgery at this point. If anything, I think he's playing it safe for the WC. Liverpool are shit this year, more so are Atlético. Even Torress-less I think the scousers have the edge. Even if you might think that Atlético's European form is good, just take a look how they made the final: crashed out of the CL and then proceeded to win a single game (2-1 against Galatasaray) of the 6 they played to get the final. Everything else have been draws against Benfica and Valencia, which saw them through on away goals. Of course Liverpool are utterly toothless without Torres...

brummie Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I want Barcelona to win the CL, as I hope it will in some way help them to start to get over their defeat to Aston Villa in the 1983 European Super Cup, where Sid Cowans and Lord Gary Shaw took them apart in the second leg. The only bit of that match i remember with any clarity is Cowans scoring the penalty and the Barca keeper getting up and kicking Cowans into the back of the net (he was retrieving the ball at the time, not from the penalty spot or anything - that would have been quite something).
