Monroe Transfer 0 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) unbelievable, I switch to the Madrid game, miss both the Dortmund goals! Same. Gutted. Platini's assistant refs did an abysmal job with those offside goals. Typical that the only time I can recall them actually having any input is during one of our matches (the one last week in fact).

Rayvin 5151 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 4 offside for the delivery, 1 offside when the ball goes in. That's actually pretty staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5151 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 No, I was following through an MBM as I should technically be writing a report right now - Actually really gutted I missed it, I've been backing Dortmund for the whole thing. I'll have to find it somewhere, sounds like a classic fuck up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6964 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 4 offside for the delivery, 1 offside when the ball goes in. Looked onside when he scored to me. You can't suddenly discount the defender because he hops 2 inches over the goal line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay 10 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'd never heard Subotić speak before tonight and thought his English was quite good but with an American accent. Sure enough lived there as a kid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Beckham is staying a 320m2 suite at the Bristol costing 17k a night apparently. He owns Paris nevermind the football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Unreal from both Reus and Lewandowski. Amazing how easily Dortmund went out and replaced Kagawa (who I think is class but hasn't had a proper run at Man Utd yet) with an even better player in Reus.

aimaad22 4082 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 They've got some real quality players. I highly rate Hummels too. Interesting to see if they manage to keep the squad together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 They've got some real quality players. I highly rate Hummels too. Interesting to see if they manage to keep the squad together. Hummels is fantastic. Barcelona are after him I think, as PSG out priced them last summer for Thiago Silva. He would be perfect for them due to his footballing ability as well as his defensive ability. Mad as well that he came through at Bayern and they bought him for about a million. I think they released Reus as a bairn too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4082 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Most people seem to think Hummels will end up at Real. Although Im not too sure now that Varane seems to have developed nicely. That flick from Reus to set up their first goal was something else! Hopefully Barca and Bayern will get through tonight which will mean the four best footballing sides in Europe currently imo play the semfinal. Should be good fun!

Tooj 17 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Why exactly? I know for some bizarre reason you can't stand Barcelona and especially Messi as people dare compare him to Maradona, but clubs like PSG symbolise what is wrong with football at the moment whereas at least when you look at the Barcelona team most of them are home grown.

Rayvin 5151 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Aye about 50% are homegrown which is impressive, esp when a lot of that is the better players. I just don't enjoy watching them really, especially when you get those games where their passing game isn't working they have no plan B, they can't put crosses in etc. You say PSG etc are what's wrong with football, but you forget Barcelona spend a fair bit themselves, guts off 30'ish this year with song and Alba, season before that they splurged 52m on sanchez and fabregas, before that they brought in mascherano, villa, adriano, and affelay, not sure how much it was total but Villa was 37m on his own iirc. I didn't always dislike them btw I just don't like the playstyle now or the media fawning over everything they do whether it's deserved or not lol mean at times they properly go overboard for what is far from spectacular, and i don't hate Messi either, i think Diego better aye, and i'd argue Ronaldo has more to his arsenal, i'd love to seen Ronaldo in that side tbh xavi and inniesta feeding him instead of Di Maria hitting speculative efforts. As for wanting PSG going through, i like Ibrahimovich proper centre forward but with technical ability to boot, like watching him play :shrug: ...as barca just scored the "oooooooooooooo what a goal " from the commentator sums it up, it was a good goal, it wasn't a cum in my pants and vocalise it goal, is what really gets on my wick tbh. I agree with all of this. Barcelona are a dull team to watch because of how the other teams play them. I actually rooted for Chelsea last year, and it just made me feel wrong all over. I respect Barcelona for what they are, but I'll always be backing the other side save for a handful of teams. Also agree that Ronaldo is a more complete player.

Kid Dynamite 6964 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 2009, was 7 sorry. Although Pedro, Bojan and Muniesa on the bench made 10 out of the 16 squad home grown players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4082 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I think they are fantastic to be honest, it will be a shame when this team does eventually break up as the players get older. Some of the football we've been treated to has been surreal. Interesting draw semifinal draw by the way. Really think any of these four could go on to win it. Best semfinal lineup in a while imo.

Rayvin 5151 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Villa look like they'll be avoiding relegation. Also, if Liverpool don't beat Reading today then there's something pretty wrong over in Anfield. Especially since I've got money on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
