Sidg Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 PSG concede quite a few for such a great team, whereas Arsenal are excellent defensively. I'm going for 1-1, PSG to nab it in extra time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 59 minutes ago, Astroblack said: 2012 Chelsea maybe then. Beaten by Napoli in the second round. Sacked the manager and the players took over. Only game they truly won comfortably was Benfica. Rode their luck against Barca in both legs. Think I remember Fabregas, Sanchez and Messi missing guilt edge chances in the first leg and same for the second with Messi missing a pen and same in the final, Robben missing a pen in ET. I quite liked that team, though, but they were VERY lucky to win it. But that was a class campaign. They weren't the best team at all but those games against Barca and the final were so dramatic.

Took them from 8th to 1st. He did it. Was it likeable? no. But he did it. Aye, fair play to him, can’t deny that. But people have achieved more without behaving in such an undignified manner.

Was beautiful to see Chelsea go through and win against the best team of all time, 10 men, the Ramires goal, Drogba going for goal from 60 yards out. Lampard was outstanding in those games. Dispossessing Messi, passing to Ramires who crossed to Drogba to finish. A real shame there's barely any angles of Lampard's pass to Ramires for his chip because it was a thing of beauty.

Astroblack Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) 9 minutes ago, El Prontonise said: Knew I'd get this but it truly was David vs Goliath stuff(10 men and 2-0 down at the Camp Nou against the greatest football team ever assembled with the addition of Sanchez and Fabregas from the season before, who looked like an absolute monster in that Barca team, especially that year). I'm also a Prem fan so it was nice seeing the likes of Drogba, Lampard, Cole(yea, even him), Ivanovic, Luiz and the like winning the trophy after failing so many times. And you have to factor 2009 in, Chelsea should have had about six penalties that game before Iniesta scored. Edited May 20 by Astroblack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Every other team can fuck off as far as I’m concerned. Dislike them all. Some are an irrelevance so don’t get put into that category. Some I dislike more than others. I can never be happy for another team to win a trophy, especially winning the PL in the manner which Arsenal have. I want PSG to bum them. Despite hating PSG, they have at least played excellent entertaining football in the CL. Arsenal are utterly dreadful to watch and either exceptionally lucky, helped along the way by PMGOL, or likely a combination of the two. They are ultimately a better version of Stoke/Bolton from back in the day. However as I said to my two Arsenal mates, I’d not really care about other clubs fans opinions if I was them. And that’s the best way football should be. Fuck everyone else. Despite it being a disgrace to the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 2 hours ago, Astroblack said: They're unbeaten in the CL, topped the group stage with 24 points winning every game. Beat Bayern 3-1 and it was the correct result. They probably will lose but they might do it and tbh it'd be nice, Chelsea being the only London club to hold a UCL, much less two is grim. Much rather Arsenal. I didn't take you for an Arteta sycophant, yet here we are. I used to have a soft spot for Arsenal, they played football how it was supposed to be played under Wenger and had some great players through the years. Now, they have that lego headed monstrosity as a manager, some really detestable scummy cheating players and a bunch of fans that have encompassed those elements....blood, fam...etc... screw them, the lot of them.

They played pretty good football even a couple of years ago. I remember us barely getting near them in a couple of games in Howe's early years. They have won the league this time round because refs are far too lenient on shirt pulling and wrestling in the penalty area. Arteta has taken advantage but I don't blame him, I blame our refereeing standards which are abysmal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
