Football Club -- Part Deux

well i feel a little sorry for those who were watching the United Marseille tie.. cuz the real action was on the other channel..!! An absolute thriller between Inter and Bayern which finished 3-2 in Inter's favour on the night, 3-3 on aggregate and Inter Milan are through on the away goals rule..!!

Bayern were leading 2-1 at half time.. it was 3-1 on aggregate..even the commentary team said there's no way back for Inter now..but they showed why they are the European champions..great team spirit and yes the manager Leonardo was like a 12th player.. hats off!!

Some really woeful defending from both teams though.. Inter would never be so fragile at the back under Mourinho and so for Bayern who looked the least bit interested in defending.. the way Schweinsteiger stuck out a lazy foot to defend the 2nd goal from Schneider was appaling.. Bayern can only blame themselves..!!

But yeah, take nothing away from Inter.. they absolutely deserved this!! :thumbsup:

P.S- did not see the other game, jus saw the final score.. looked close though!! 2-1 aggregate with Marseille having the away goal..!!


Dude Man Utd Vs Marseille was also a treat to watch...

goal by Hernandez in 5th min n den a sitter missed by Gignac..
dere was a penalty which refree did tuk time to think but never gave it..though it shud hav been given to Utd..

Valencia's presence in 2nd half made Utd luk more menacing..
Utd got the 2nd one in 75th min n they were cruising..

untill sum nevry defending by Wes Brown due to pressure from Heinze..
Deschamps was all over the line jumping from visiting team box to have his side sneak 1 more goal..
n it was a nervy ending wen the whistle blew in the end..

Utd-marseille became pretty tense in the 2nd half, specially aftr the Own Goal(although cant totally blame Brown as it ws a wild ball)!
was geting a heart attack with every corner bt Chica saved us in the end:thumbsup:
bt huge huge concerns for the injury line up - our 'great wall' - rio and vida, rafa, o'shea, park, evans.....

i wonder wats up with Owen hargreaves, wat a pity to miss him coz of the never ending injuries

anyway super duper excited for madrid-lyon!!!! its mourinho's big test as the bernabeu's curse continues. Honestly cant predict this one!

Yes but when u see him he never looks assured... even Smalling looks a bit tense to me with Brown's partnership..

i m nt thinking abt Hargreaves i think his time is up... its injury crisis at the backline with Rio , Vidic , Evans , Rafael , O Shea out n Neville (retired)..

Even Carrick has said i dnt wanna fancy it oing that job again which he n Fletcher did for 1-2 matches last Season.. I wish we had Shawcross here at Utd..


To all Bayern Munich fans n Schweinsteiger fans n footballing fans..
have u watched Dortmund games n esp Nuri Sahin..?? if nt then watch Dortmund Vs Munich highlights atleast.. He made Schweini look like crap...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udV8RJ_enMM

Dortmund have built a fantastic young side with Barrios , Subotic , Hummels, Kagawa , Goetze n Sahin.... For me Sahin is the stand out player among them..

I would want to sign him up for next year with a rumoured release clause of 5-6 million..hes the real Bargain for next summer for me... Hes the perfect successor to Scholes except Modric who is the most perfect 1 for me...
my take madrid and chelsea
bayern munich not a single trophy.

yaar i am feelin so bad 4 bayern...Even wd players of the likes Arjen robben,Ribbery,Lahm,Schweinsteiger,Olic,Muller....,no trophy nd such early exit from cl....Against Inter I think Mario Gomez is the real culprit....Played such a selfish game...wasted so many chances
i'm not talking about womens football! i guess u did not bother to open the sites, they are written by girls... dats it.... bt its not only about the football on pitch but off it too.
and wen it comes to girls liking football i knw guys get all 'ya rite', personally wen i say dat im a Utd fan sum people think i probably knw only the popular team or liked it becoz of Cristiano. I remember one guy askd me to name 5 players and I was like shud I name u 5 defenders.
I started watching football in the 98 world cup, started liking in d 2002 world cup and irrevocably fell in love in 2006:cheerio:

Blv me in my whole life ,you are the first girl,I have seen, taking interest in the game I love most............Newayzz u talk of ManU defenders.....Sry to say somehow i find their defending too pedestrian even to talk about.People like Smalling r too small in the game isn't it..Take 4 instance ur best def. Rio...
Boy , nothin compared to chelsea..Even our new breed (David Luiz,defender) is good enough to find holes in your defence

David Luiz.. the 1 stupid fella who shud hav been sent off for his plunges on Chicarito n Rooney..!! What an analysis...!!


After reading the bold part i can understand ur sense of the game..to be honest Tasha07 has more sense in the game than u not just bcz shes a Utd fan bcz she is...

Had u criticised Evans i would hav still understood... U r comparing 3-4 games Luiz played in EPL to Smallings major contribution this season.. Hes a Rio in making n if pple here say hes not as gud as Rio.. he dsnt has that good ball distribution like him etc etc... get it straight the boy is just 20.. n defenders dnt peak before 25..so he has all the time in the world to grow up in the game n mature.. but for a 20 yr old hes class for me..

Why pay 30 million for 24 yr old established CB Rio dan pay just 10 million for a Rio in making at 20 n develop him at ur club..

Hw much ur Sugar Daddy paid for Luiz 21 millions i guess..??
let 2012 come with FFP then we will see ur transfers.. n No thanks to Chelsea n City for inflating the transfer market...

I may be wrong 4 u... but sum genius Gaffer in transfer dealings like SAF n Arsene Wenger wnt be wrong i guess..?? SAF hijacked the deal that would hav seen Smalling to Arsenal..

Big night for Real Madrid today.
When they lost 5-0 to Barca I couldn't sleep for 2-3 days.
If they don't progress today , another year of champions league season would be lost

I hope Madrid do justice to their ability today. For some reason I feel there would be a Madrid/Barca final this season in the champions league :lookround:

so happy dat somebody is criticizing the Gomez boy!
have been a German supporter since 2002(Kahn crying at the goalpost aftr losing to brazil is my most haunting memory in football) and I cant understand why Low played him rite in front in the Euro! he's crazy selfish and very average wen u compare him to schweini, poldi, lahm, klose!

trust me there are othr girls too, 2 of my bst friends r as crazy as me
and talking abt our defence....we hav been rock solid till 2009 with Rio, Vida, Evra, o'shea, neville, evans but every team has its slack year.. biggest eg. liverpool, theyre in d Europa league for Petes sake:drinking:
jst with a few matches u cant give sweeping statements and I'm so glad fr Smalling, the guy's 20 and he can only get better....touch wood:)
paharidude Says
you were the last person I was expecting a Thanks..... I guess you are still happy after your wins in FA Cup and Champions League.


bcz dude u deserve it...:thumbsup::thumbsup:
u contribute well n truly to this thread..

i dnt mind if pple rebuke me for something.. i dnt develop any enemity against them...they r :

SAF dsnt hate Wenger ... neither does Mourinho hates them... u develop a sense of respect despite the fact u sledge them on press on pre n post match conferences..

P.S. I m leaving this thread for good...

hope madrid and chelsea make it today..would love to watch the red devils kick either of them out in the next round..

Red Devils need a defender here.... so I guess you got to stay here....what do you think???
:) :grin:


anytime n every time...:cheerio::cheerio:

Here i come...

btw that captaincy thing for England i think Fabio Capello has clarified to Rio its just for 2 friendlies right nw n it would be decided later for Euro 2012 qualifiers..

Surely Capello has blown the issue out of proportion by going out in public for england captaincy armband..

Finally Real Madrid back to where they belong

I had two wishes before this season

  1. One to get into an IIM
  2. Secondly that Real Madrid wins the Champions League

One course to both :cheerio:

So here is the final list of teams in the quarterfinals :

England : ManU , Chelsea , Tottenham

MADRID VS MANUTD QF


I would not want MADRID in QF against UTD..
Neither Barca nor Chelsea..

Schalke would be best bet den Shakhtar n den Spurs or Inter for UTD..

Dream Draw for me

REAL MADRID-MAN UTD BARCELONA-SPURS
vs
INTER -SHAKTAR/SCHALKE CHELSEA - SHAKTAR/SCHALKE


worst

REAL MADRID VS BARCA MAN UTD VS SPURS

VS
INTER VS CHELSEA SHAKTAR VS SCHALKE 04

i don't want club from the same zone to face each other .
the beauty of UCL is all about cross zone match

I want a Chelsea Barca showdown and barca to be hammered at the nou camp !

I want Barca to rape SPURS to show them their place.
to teach a lesson to their crazy fans.
And after that they can face Chelsea
