The UEFA Champions League 2010/11 Thread

This man were sacket to play same football as Mourinho against Barça, but at least he were respectfull.

Yeah because Barca once underestimated him in a Euoropean Cup final and lost 4-0 to his Milan. So he payed the respect back to Barca by being respectful. Mourinho got what he wanted by making a meal out of the fixture and paint a good picture fake or actual paint no one knows. But did manage to change a hell of point of views. And trust me It matters.

EDIT: Another thing the only complaining and imaginary card showing player we have take him back to your crap La Masia theatre. We don't want him anymore. I wont even be happy because of this so called LEADER to if he scores a million goals next season being a GK and winning us everything. He just tarnished Arsene's name for his gain. Teach him to dive also he is more talented than Busquets.

btw, Fabregas carried your team by himself in some very important moments in recent seasons, he really dedicated himself for you colours, and even risked his health in some matches like (Barcelona 2-2) and Tottenham lasts eason!

 

[ARIAGA II]

He's a Madrid fan.

 

[poet11]

He didn't risk his health this season but he did. I don't know how you see it but I really thought we could go through over you in that game . He said it himself he was being selfish and playing that game to be at the Nou Camp at the same time he also put his finger on Wenger which I find more disgusting than anything. He shouldn't be doing that at a delicate point of the season. Yes he and RVP if even not performing to their standards make a difference but others fail. I cannot really blame him wanting to go to Barca. The thing there is a matter of dignity and timing of fueling stuff up. Very poor timing to indirectly call rest of your teammates not good enough. He might be frustrated but the thing is he and his point of view has become more of a value than Arsenal. He needs to move on so should we. He is the skipper and he was dedicated to our colours but thanks to him that this is ARSENAL FOOTBALL CLUB. Its not like that is it? We owe him for his services alot so does he to Arsenal in developing him which is even more of a case than that I would say.

And Illaje if you don't really like my thoughts or u got anything against me or something I don't know. I'm a Gooner and I also support Madrid. I don't really find it criminal in anyway. If you don't like it your problem.

Invalidated what? That Barcelona is the best team attacking team in the world? Or that Barcelona is not what they attempt to imply they are?

What Barcelona "attempt to imply they are?" What do they do to "imply" aside from playing great soccer for three seasons? And why does that all go out the window because of one ugly match?

 

[Help?]

That they are a humble and respectful team. And all that goes out the window because they showed that they aren't. That's how I feel man, for me Barcelona stood for everything I wanted to see in my team. But now my opinion of that has changed drastically. And nobody really cares about how my opinion has changed, but I'm explaining to you and Barca fans why there is such a huge uproar about that. Because many people feel like they were sold on a fake thing. Its like buying a BMW and then finding out that its fuel efficiency is more than three times as worse as advertised. It still runs perfectly, but it just doesn't feel as good anymore thinking about it.

One mistake can change everything and Barcelona showed that they needed to cheat to beat Real Madrid. If whatever they were doing was working why was a third of a team so determined to cheat? Maybe 1 cheater is more of a reflection of that person, but 3 players attempting dirty tricks thats now a reflection of the manager and how he deals with things.

They weren't selling anything. Would you have been less disappointed if they had a history of being as$holes?

If all it takes is one match of playacting to ruin your opinion of a team, you might as well stop watching soccer, because everybody does it at some point.

 

[Filipower]

What I'm surprised with is the fact people didn't expect a team of Spanish, Brazilian and Argentinian football players to be a bunch of whining bastards.




And please, before the self-righteous bull**** begins, if you had a Tuga I'd still say the same. We're latinooos, we're ******* footballing bastards!

Actually, I guess I would have.


Filli: point well taken

LOL yeah agree I didn't notice that. Major point for sure.

We are the most hated team in England and we don't try to change that.

I'm afraid that accolade is bestowed upon us in recent years.

 

[Pogba4Now]

No way. Chelsea doesn't even have strong rivalries like United-Liverpool or United-City or Madrid-Barca. The main Chelsea rival is probably Man United and that rivalry is definitely not as strong as United-Liverpool or United-City for example.

Can't think of any team that would hate chelsea, really. I hate Liverpool or C*ty way more than Chelsea.

I'm not talking about teams, just the papers and public in general. We had Jose for a while(a manager people love to hate), then Ashley Cole came in with a rep he had off-field(popstar wife etc).

The whole JT fiasco recently and let's not forget that we have Roman, allowing us to spend a whole lot during his early years, and recently of course.

Usually our players are the ones booed in England matches. Take Frank Lampard, he's done nothing wrong but the only reason I can think of is him being a Chelsea player. That says it all really.

Our rivalry is probably the most intense with Liverpool(Arsenal and Spuds follow), for a number of reasons of course, being recently. We beat them to the CL spot in 03, pushed them out of the top 3, Roman came in subsequently and we've never been out of the top 3 and CL since.

Chelsea - Arsenal?

 

[Arnau]

United - Liverpool is not comparable to madrid - barça rivalrie.

 

[Zakov]

I hate Chelsea

That's the spirit.

 

[clash]

United - Liverpool is not comparable to madrid - barça rivalrie.

What? Who here compared the two rivalies?

 

[Arnau]

Nady.

 

[clash]

Not really, all he said was that for Chelsea there aren't as big rivalies as United - Liverpool or Real - Barca. I might as well say that Chelsea doesn't have as big rivalies as Hammarby and AIK in Sweden or Real - Barca, doesn't mean I'm saying that globally Hammarby vs AIK are comparable to El Clasico. Or are all other classic matches too unworthy to be even mentioned in the same post as Real vs Barca?

Besides, even if he would have compared them, he would have had the right to do so. I mean if United play Liverpool, Celtic play Rangers or Boca plays River plate, for the fans of those clubs, especially for the locals, nothing compares to THAT rivaly. Only thing that makes Barca - Real bigger is the commercial aspect, which makes it a bigger global spectacle than any other derby/rivaly in the world. Can't really say that historically or emotionally a rivaly in the lower leagues of Germany is less of a rivaly. It's a subjective matter...
