UCL Final - Barcelona vs Arsenal (p+r)

[emmer]

And the winner of biggest twatboy of the year:

What a ridiculous moment, I think everyone in the stadium knew what he was going to do when the ball dropped to him, and he duly obliged. Nice to see he hasn't changed and is still a cheating piece of scum. Campbell should have snapped his leg in half, and been given a medal by FIFA for it.

yeap you're right brilliant.

If you're gonna act like a twat a play keepie uppie trying to balance the ball on your head you deserve to be kicked in the teeth

you're so violent

 

[Bobby]

I'm gonna pretend you didn't write that.

I said it, but I wasen't serious. I'm serious about 10% of the time. It was to get a reaction, it worked.

Really, I have Catholic family.

I just happen to be a Protestant because one day I'd like the option of divorce to be there if needed.

By the way, Oleguer is/was anorexic? Didn't know that.

 

[emmer]

Or how about him (Eboué) kicking out a van Bronckhorst right after Lehmann's sending off when the whistle had already blown and the ball nowhere near ?

he should have been red carded, but the referee could not do that just after the red to lehmann...

 

[Callum]

Wow red card for that? They should just start red carding people for slide tackling, right emmer? :boohoo:

 

[emmer]

didn't get it. eboué's kick was far worse than any regular sliding tackle.

 

[PaPaGeorGeo]

The ref should have given the goal, and a yellow to

Arsenal gave a hell of a fight and were unlucky not to score the second goal which would have almost certainly sealed their win.
But Barça made the extra man count for the last minutes of the game, I was shocked to see Arsenal having no reaction what so ever after the equalizer, it's like the players were dead tired....I was expecting them to press way higher on the ground after the 2nd goal, the f'cking CL Cup was at stake ffs.
with no reaction from Arse, Barcelona just stood there circulating the ball till the final whistle was blown



EDIT
I almost forgot:

Oleguer SUCKS

The Arsenal players had given everything for 60mins a man down running around covering the space not filled by the extra man, They were stuffed.

Its hard enough to get the ball of a Team like Barca with 11 fit players let alone with 10 stuffed ones. You cannot critise Arsenal for that

 

[dirion]

That Norwegian linesman practically gave Barca their first goal... a good step offside

For me, that's not an offside, I would say onside, to see whether that's an offside or not is so extremely difficlut for the linesman, considering that Eto'o is not the slowest player in the CL, I mean that the linesman did a correct decision not raising the flag for offside...

 

[Lonestarr022]

it could have gone either way IMO, i could see it being called offside but i could see it counting too

 

[RUSI]

Wow red card for that? They should just start red carding people for slide tackling, right emmer?

:boohoo:

didn't get it. eboué's kick was far worse than any regular sliding tackle.

Don't worry, Callum is the most biased member on SG. Anything Pro-English he will defend to the death no matter how wrong or hypocritical.

congrats to barca 1st of all .. shame about the red card though .. i think if the ref allowed the goal n the game went on 11 v 11 it would have been something special.

Funny though how everyones talking about how they "didnt see ronaldinho" .. i think he put himself under too much pressure & he was basically trying too hard . Still played a huge part in the game though, that through ball to etoo that got the keeper sent off was class. Great players only need that split second .

Good to see Henry speak his mind though in the interview .. not like all the other boring, " i think we played a good game , the other team did well " typical, crap interviews. haha Love the way he said something about "playing against me with a yellow card is a whole different game" .. confidence

Credit to Larsonn & ljungberg they played great .. dissapointed not to see messi though

 

[Luis Ah-Hoy]

Still complaining about Terje Hauge?

I watched the rerun for the 3rd time last night, and one I notcied one thing. I'm sure you all have noticed it but, I just felt like saying it.

When arsenal was up 1-0, they had at most 3 players when the were attacking. On the corners there were 3 arsenal players in the box en like 8 barca players. Then, Barca score two goals in 5 minutes. One should guess a change in the game? But no, Barca was passing the ball between eachother for almost 3 minutes at a time with not one single arsenal player trying to interfere. I know they were tired etc. etc., but this was the Champions League _FINAL_. In the finaly you run til you throw up, and then run som more if you have to. Henry say they played with their heart..heart my a**.

And I also noticed when barca were in lead 2-1, they had 7-8 players on arsenals half of the pitch. I just think that says a lot about these two teams and how they play. Arsenal: defending their way to victory while Barca: actually playing football till they win, and then some more.

Arsenal can bitch all they want about the ref., but the fact is that you got your only goal on a horrible mistake, and we lost one. Henry missed 2 giant chances alone with Valdes.

I think the way Arsenal played the game after Barca's 2nd goal shows what that team was capable of. Unless they can counter-attack, they can't do anything.

You have no idea if you think Arsenal are a team that defends there way to victory lol that comment is the furthest from the truth if you look at Wengers Arsenal.

:funny:

 

[Rob]

this was the one

reminds me of "get your players rollin', Rijkaaaaard"

If they were Chelsea players, the media would be going nuts you know.

If you can honestly claim that Arsenal's tactic is not to lay back and defend and go for counter-attacks you are living in denial. Offcourse I can understand that you are bitter about the loss, and that's understandable. I would to if Barca played like Arsenal did...

 

[TOON ARMY]

What do you expect them to do with ten men, Nird?

Cause they had to be cautious and not over commit going forward.

 

[houston3721]

If Lehmann was not fouled and Barca was given the advantage and then scored, would the ref gave Lehmann the red card?
I think yes, he should still send him off. Coz Lehmann brought down Eto'o in the one on one situation.

Anyway, a nice come back by the strongest team in Europe.

Have you watched Arsenal in the last 5 years?







i didnt think so. Your basing your opinion on a CL Final where we had 10 players, what we spose to do play 3-3-3? and maybe a CL semi final where we played like crap in the second leg.

Yes we rip teams up on the Counter Attack, do you want us to wait for them to get 10 players behind the ball then see if we can score


Did you hear about the game we were beat Spurs 5-4 or Borough 5-3, they are just two i can name of the top of my head

yo wtf!

i hate arsenal but what you said was just utter bull**** right out from your ass.

they were a ******* man down lmao. you expect them to leave gaping holes behind? FFS.

sure barca had like twice the amount of possesion arsenal has, but could you even run half as fast as you would now if you lost one of your legs?

arsenal didn't get their 50 (or was it 49) match unbeaten run in the epl by sitting back on their asses btw.

and for the record i prefer supporting barca much more to arsenal.

 

[Frostwolf]

Bah. Whatever.

If you'd like to play gung-ho attacking football when you're a man down in the Champions League final and lose 7-1 then that's fine by me.
