Srna recently has been somewhat of a crybaby. He's been harshly criticized for it, as he does it on the NT as well. So, yeah - he can be a faggot. lol

De Rossi is more of a cunt though. One time I would've loved him at Man Utd but he seems to have just stalled and doesn't have the same influence as he used to.

Also, Shaktar finished ahead of Arsenal in the group meaning they played a weaker side, Arsene is at fault for playing a weaker side in the groups.

 

[hizzle?]

Nah he's just really emotional. He did laugh at De Rossi when they scored though.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Well done to Spurs. Defended really well.

Yeah, he is, but he's also been a cry baby these last few months. He wasn't always like that. That being said, when he gives his all he's one hell of a player.

another big game and another nothing performance from Ibrahimovic.

dont give me any excuses. he saw plenty of the ball tonight.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Yeah can't really offer him any more excuses, I just don't understand why he seems to play so lethargic and clumsy when the world watches. He claims hes the best player in the world also.

 

[Bobby Sands]

3 goals in something like 22 knock out champions leage matches. that says it all about him for me. and all those goals were for Barcelona. is that the record of a great striker. he is far from great imo. he is an awful attitude as well. thats why Barcelona fucked him out the door so soon. what an error they made in giving away Eto'o for him. it has been proven over and over since.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Although I agree, Barcelona were in a difficult position, people forget that Eto'o became disruptive and only had 12 months left on his contract, he was going to leave on a free and Barca had to act quick, and they acted with a panic move. Barcelona didn't 'give' Eto'o away he wanted to leave. What kind of player refuses to come on as a sub in a Champions League game? What could Barca of done? Barca didn't want him to go to another club in Spain, the only options were Man City or Italy. But Eto'o had his heart set on either France to be back 'home' as he called it, seeing as its full of African players or to Italy.

Eto'o even lauded himself to Uzbekistan for fucks sake. :| Eto'o was one of the main reasons the deal was so badly done. But because of the failure of Zlatan (still scored 22 goals and scored the winner against Madrid) Eto'o has come out smelling of roses when in actual fact it was his bad attitude that caused it.

Eto'o is the better player, but his goal return last season wasn't exactly amazing, 16 goals in over 40 games? Though you could argue he was playing as some sort of wing back at times.

Braga beat Liverpool. Liverpools formation/team was odd. Man City lost, Shevchenko seemed like he had a point to prove.

 

[Bobby Sands]

that was so poor. only looked like getting a goal when Carroll came on. he was winning everything in the air and then their centre half elbowed him in the face.

This Barcelona side is the most technically gifted team I've seen in my time. Would love Chelsea to get them in the next round.

 

[Pittsey]

^^

I think Chelsea would win. Even in their current form. Just a gut feeling.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

I don't think Barca will win the Champions League, even though they are the best team in the world. The players will surely tire, the starting 11 hardly ever changes, with all the yards they run during a game this will catch up on them.

 

[Sebastian]

Cant believe we have lost this game.

Incredibly stupid.

See you next season, football.

 

[Flipmo]

Welcome back Sebastian.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Bayern should have been 4-1 up at half time. couldnt expect to win anythng with that defence though

Abidal has a liver tumor

[tHuG $TyLe]

^Yeah it's a bit surprising for it to happen to a footballer. As in this is rarely the case. Bryan Robson has also been diagnosed with throat cancer.

 

[Bobby Sands]

i remember Abidal was saying that he had only a couple of season left playing football at the highest level. it was a year or two ago he said it. he felt his body wouldnt be able for it anymore.

he has been really good for Barcelona this season and last
