Skeletor Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 That 20 minute spell shows how the team can actually play which makes this whole season even more frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you get battered in the next round. This isn't 100% fear, NUFC also lost time in Estádio da Luz. But you guys are in pieces, and I am truly sorry for you because you're such a great bunch of people. I am really sorry you guys are out, I just hope everyone still gets along after this because I am not planning to leave. For my side, the best part of the 1/4 finals was to meet all of you Nowt against the fans Jotenko. The players you have are an utter disgrace, namely Perez and that fuckwit of a goalkeeper. Believe me, your team plays good enough football to do without all the cheating. It would be understandable at least if your team was shit, but it isn't. It's fucking embarrassing.

timeEd32 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The thing that sucks the most is we can definitely beat them. A couple different bounces in Lisbon and it's a totally different tie. Fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 If we played with the same urgency we showed in those 15 min.. Oh well, its been fun. I just ask Benfica to please beat Chelsea. Please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Fair to conclude we started attacking too late. Ben Arfa and Marveaux should've been on earlier, and Simpson should've been replaced instead of Anita. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be the same thing if you played Porto. Or Sporting. Or Braga. Or.. or... or... It's a matter of culture. No doubt yours is better. But things are what they are. However, if you want to have a fair discussion, you'll have to admit that NUFC also lost some time at Lisbon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Well that was gutting, i will always go back to that moment in Lisbon at 1-1 when Santon back passes for the rest of my life knowing that was the moment where we lost an opportunity at a EL semi. Proud of the team though and hope to see Marveaux and Ben Arfa together more often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just play cupcake teams every week therefore they have much more confidence and lack the mental sapping that pl clubs go through, That's the difference, I think pards is absolutely right that team is a mid table pl team, like we are.

taxfree Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Not sure why, but i'm not feeling that devastated. Probably because I was so negative to begin with. We did really well for a large part, but unfortunately couldn't make it count. Just stoked as fuck for the mackems game now, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, how sexy does Marveaux, Ben Arfa, Sissoko, and Cabaye all on the pitch together look Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
