Chelsea F.C [2011-2012]

[Sir Calumn]

I'd say see you next season but i don't think we are going to Europa League

Arnau, Arnau, Arnau........ remember the new rules?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I'd rep you for that, Arnau, but I negged you today for saying they would meet Madrid.

 

[Sir Calumn]

I +repped him for you, then negged you for supporting such a bitter unsportsmanlike comment!

 

[MaestroZidane]

hahaha.. I repped him.

Arnau, if I'm ever in Barcelona, I'm taking you out for drinks.

@Arnau: Because goal is the biggest truth in football? quality over quantity etc....

Jokes aside with better finishing you guys would be through but I must say you were a little bit poor by your high standards at times in these 3 games. Xavi,Messi and Iniesta look a bit unfit to me and you're defending was poor(this not just these three games,bdw....whenever I've watched you this season you are like Arsenal conceding counter attacks and defending with panic). You also lack something when I've seen Cesc in the team. I don't know what it is. It looks disjointed.

Ramires is so awesome. When that chip went in I came a little. I had no idea he could do that. I thought the extent of his goal scoring was running into the ball inside the 6 yard box as it wildly careened off him into the net.

That shot was so ridiculous. It just looked like a total fluke until I saw the replay.


That said, I like how Valdes goes full speed to knock out Pique, but when he needed to charge, he let Ramires chip him... sigh.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

That was a really amazing goal. Ramires started his run with like 8 Barca players in front of him, and only a couple seconds later he's one on one with Valdes. The whole team was at fault pretty much. They thought the game was over after the 2nd goal; this seems to be pretty common when teams take a lead and don't quite realize that a goal for the other team sends them through on away goals.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Well to be fair they were also a man up, I think they expected that from then on they would go on to stomp us...... which probably would have happened if it werent for that piece of Ramires magic.

 

[Arnau]

When Ramires scored Guardiola were talking with Tito about making a 4 man defense.

Great pass from... was it Lampard? Maybe Mata. A white guy anyway.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Pretty sure it was Lampard.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Mata, usually our strongest player, was possibly our weakest in both legs against Barcelona. I guess Spanish teams are used to him and know how to play against him, which doesnt bode well if Real make the final......

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I just don't think Mata is comfortable with the "English" style. He admitted as much after the first leg.

 

[Back Door Skip]

It didn't help that he was playing out of position, and usually the attack is centered around him. This time the tactic was punt it as far as you can and see what happens.

 

[Zakov]

Geoff Shreeves is a douchebag.

 

[MaestroZidane]

what is that all about? what a d**k move by Shreeves

 

[Mus]

So harsh.

 

[Haarithan]

Even worse, he visited Barca's dressing room following the match, and informed every single individual that they won't be playing this year's final. The man's all nuts!

As for Neville's commentary during Torres' goal, it was just freakin hilarious! Orgasm at its very best.

 

[Mandieta6]

What a dick.

Good trolling though.

 

[Arnau]

I can see him asking the children around stadium: Knowing Santa doesn't exist, how many goals will _____ score today?
