Tackles, balls and Seaman - The footie thread

[Danny Top Hat]

I've got a feeling about Chelsea tonight.  It'd be suicide to write them off, they're set up nicely for a shock.

In saying that, I fucking hope they lose.  Come on Barca!

[axl_rose_700]

I don't understand why people hate Chelsea?

Maybe I only like them because I'm a Leeds fan and it's good to see someonne knock Man U down a peg or 2!

And cos Jose's a legend

[Shoco]

i dont hate chelsea, i prefer barca to go throught because they play far more exciting football thats better to watch

[Jim]

Not only do Barca play much more exciting football, but the team is not populated by a gang of pricks.

The sooner the Chelsea player realise that there are about five hundred cameras on them during a match, the better.

...And if they're half as good as they think, they shouldn't need to crowd the ref every time a fucking decision is given against them.

And cos Jose's a legend

No. He's a wanker. He makes football look really unpleasant, he is a a disgrace to the game with his behavior, when both he and Wayne Rooney leave the game football might regain an element of decency

[Shoco]

what has rooney done to upset you?

[MadmanDan]

Barca were above Chelsea tonight. Jose's men looked really tired and unmotivated...

what has rooney done to upset you?

He playes for Manchester United, therefore he's a dirty untalented overrated thug that disgraces the game. Duuh!

ha yeah, how silly of me to forget

[Izzy]

what has rooney done to upset you?

His foul mouthed rants, and unsportsman like behaviour make me question whether football is really the 'beautiful game'

The game doesn't need it

[Danny Top Hat]

I don't think Rooney's done anything wrong at all.  He may look like a thug, but I think he's been a damn good role model in that he puts his head down and works hard in every game.  He's not a dirty player and he doesn't dive (except against Arsenal).  He does swear, but then so do loads of people, and that's a difficult habit to break in the heat of the moment.

Last night's game was dull as fuck.  The better team went through - I think Chelsea paid the price for making the game too defensive.  Where was Wright-Phillips??  I swear he could've changed the game if they'd brought him on and given Crespo more time on the pitch.  Oh well, it was good to see them being outclassed for once.  It was never a penalty, by the way.

Here's hoping Real have another bad game tonight.  If Arsenal's midfield plays with the same confidence as in the last game and if Van Persie is back in the team I think we have a good chance.  It'll definately be tougher second time round though, Real Madrid aren't gonna take defeat lying down.

Best moment of the night? Watching Terry get done by Ronaldinho for his goal. 

[Sweet s]

Rooney reminds me so much of Paul Gascoigne

[Jamie]

Nice! Chelsea out! They have nothing to moan about, they were outclassed over both legs and deserved to be knocked out, they were lucky Barca didn't score 3 or 4 last night. And as was mentioned earlier, it was never a penalty. But of course, rumour has it that Jose said that the better team lost and that Chelsea deserved to go through. He really is an arrogant prick that man, he just can't admit defeat, it's bad for the game.

No. He's a legend, he tells the situation how he sees it and doesn't let the press control what he says or does unlike most of the other pussy managers nowadays who roll out cliche after soundbite

[Shoco]

His foul mouthed rants, and unsportsman like behaviour make me question whether football is really the 'beautiful game'

yeah like hes the first player ever to use foul language 

and as for unsportsman like behaviour!! hes a real mourinho aint he 

[Jim]

I did used to absoloutly hate Mr. Mourinho, but now I think he's quality. I have this kind of love-hate thing towards him.

I fucking love to see him lose, and I would give anything for us to beat Chelsea on Saturday...

But I do think that he is a good thing for the game.

I hate all this fucking censorship of celebration among those taking part in the sport these days, it's good to see Mr. Jose's passion.

[Danny Top Hat]

Wait, you're playing Chelsea at the weekend??

Nice one!

[Jim]

For a moment there, I thought that you were happy that there was going to be a decent match on TV. 

Don't go celebrating too soon, I would hope to get at least a point out of them...............

[MadmanDan]

Arsenal are through! Unfortunately, they are the only English team left...

Henry is everything people say Ronaldinho is, and more. He doesn't have world class players around him, only teenagers and guys like Reyes, and yet he owns every match

[axl_rose_700]

he wasnt that great tonight by his standards
