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
You r ight mate.. if Spurs get Barca dey hav every chance of getting raped with a poor Backline n with Gallas too out for some time..
BUT n BUT... ders only 1 positive thing for Spurs n dat could be Gareth Bale bcz hes a pretty average winger though n cnt beat a RB on normal play n his delivery into the box is also average but yes on a counter attack hes pacey n perfect just like he raped Maicon.. n against Barca he can come across those counter attacking opportunities..
So in any case it will be an interesting tie.. bcz Barca will have to deal with Modric for 1st time.. who i feel is Spurs best player..
barca visiting any english club--> gr8 match i don't want barca chelsea or barca manu because a good team will be eliminated and 1 of the trio spurs schalke and shaktar could go into the semifinals
good teams 5 inter chelsea barca real manu so 1 good game in store 4 sure
It will be good for football if new teams come up by challenging the old established superpowers of the arena ! Rooney has himself admitted that bRACA AND sPURS ARE ONE AMONG THE FAVS TO LIFT THE BIG EARS PRIZE.
this is utter disgrace to Spurs and their achievements over the last two years. They have knocked out Milan, defeated Inter- the defending champs, are above chelsea in the league. Harry has done a fabulous job there and their fans have every right to gloat about that....
Dont forget ManUtd were also stripped naked , if not raped by Barca two years ago in the final .
spot on mate.. Van Der Vaart was a steal for 8 millions by Harry..Bargain of the last summer apart from Hernandez.. n its just there injury plagued defence n poor backline which is there only weakness n poor goal scoring record of strikers this season..
Harry was so poised in Jan transfer market making healthy bids for all top strikers n forwards be it Ageuro or F Llorente n last summer he even tried to sign Ferdinand from Utd to strengthen his backline with pairing of Gallas n Rio..
but i guess time is coming up on Spurs.. hes lined up for England Job n i expect pple like Modric n Bale to jump the ship after he leaves..
I expect it will be a very tricky tie for Barca if they get them.. nt a cakewalk..
i can't remember realmadrid facing manutd and madrid facing chelsea it will be great to c madrid playing these two sides. shaktar and schalke will be easy but beating manu or chelsea is an entire different experience
anybody but barca for Utd. Im too scared of camp nou:lookround: final being at wembley there shud be at least one english side playing! wen is the draw going to take place?

The draw is tomm. Arsenal have proved that barca are not invincible. They can be beaten. I feel chelsea and manu both have the potential to beat them. It will be interesting to see who real get. :drinking:
PS- Last time Real made it to the quater finals of the ECC, Arsenal won the freaking league
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..
Man get this straight in my 20 years life I am watchin football 4 last 12 years......As far as my unterstandin of the game is concerned i don't give a damn to ur views...2ndly, I hate (wd be a strong word,newayz)Manu as much as u wd appreciate the spendin power of sugar daddy abrahmovic................So, my frnd sense or no sense i find Manu an average team wd a cryin baby bosss..............Do never mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i got ur point that at the age of 8 u gt to understand all aspects of game ... i will take that into account before reading ur post from next time..
den i shud hav mentioned i started my journey playing it in my school team from 8th std in the B Team n den broke into A team in 10th as an ACM behind the striker and won 2 Archbishop Memorial Football tournament played bw convent schools f North India.. n played till 11th end before i had to quit game due to poor fitness n severe asthmatic issues... probably the worst day of my life...
Plzz read 1 of my last post i said its 1 of the weakest Man Utd side in past 20 yrs or so.. but Chelsea has all stars in their team still where do they stand.. at the end of the day its consistency n sniffing those 1-0 wins over rough n smaller sides which may nt look impressive but counts mr than a draw playing pretty football..
I dnt hate Roman but look what City n Chelsea has done.. paid over the odds for players who r nt worth that sum..
Paying over the odds wages to youngsters... perfect example being Adam Johnson.. the guy was such a huge LW prospect and still hes 1 of the best young LW around the world.. but Citys wage structure has just ruined his head..
still i wud await 2012 Financial Fair Play rules to come in..with such huge losses n a small squad where chelsea's spending power n position would stand in a few years..
coming to real point Smalling for me is a good prospect n will be a future Eng intnl CB in sum 3-4 yrs to come..:thumbsup::thumbsup:
P.S. I hate chelsea but i still admire Terry n Lampard in their peak days n even nw....!!
hey ppl..especially gunners..i am very disheartened 2 be a gunner 2day but still proud 2 be a gunner..in my accenture interview i cudnt go thru because of this tricky nd disturbing ques- WHO IS BETTER? ARSENE WENGER OR JOSE MOURINHO?:oops::splat:..this is a very difficult ques..although i accept i chose a wrong path 2 justify dat Arsene Wenger is a better manager i.e. i chose him by mentioning the achievements which is a wrong justification i chose..agreed that arsene has led 2 back to back trophies but in front of JOSE MOURINHO he is still behind cos he has taken 3 small teams 2 glory..i think in terms of proving thru achievements i think i was wrong..having given this thought i hve another justification which now proves futile as i dint put this in front of my interviewer who was too smart cos he put the ques in front of me cos i said m an arsenal fan so he put dis ques cos he knew i will be biased 2wards arsene wenger nd he caught me in a trap:oops::banghead:..but the other justification which i knew since long tym but it didnt came 2 my mind at d tym of d interview is dat what is important in football??..WINNING it in by playing in a boring manner i.e. by playing defensive football nd long ball plays(d way MOURINHO plays) or LOSING the match by still playing attractive football which excites d spectators nd overjoys them(d way wenger plays) ..WHAT IS IMPORTANT OF THESE TWO??..i have a huge conflict in my mind regarding this??..after all the thing dat happened my interview if another person had been in my position he wud not hve been an arsenal fan..but m still proud 2 be a gunner but i am disheartened dat arsenal need 2 win trophies d way barca does to prove that they r better than others..barca has been playing gr8 football nd winning silverware but there team has been made in yrs thru their canterra academy..i bet if they had purchased players like arsenal they wont have been near 2 arsenal...ARSENE WENGER rocks!! but cummon we need 2 win trophies as well..its HIGH TIME..
I guess ur saying arsenal is a dumb team by saying that they always play like the same team in different condition. I know winning isn't everything.But i still fell that barca vs inte was a classic match only coach like mourinho can do things like this not wenger. If mourinho were the coach of arsenal things would have been different . We call them manager / coach. Quality of a manager is to react differently in different situation. And i feel Jose is the best wrt to this . I am not a fan of any club but a big fan of futbol just posting what i feel . no hard feeling .:lookround:
I would love to see some new team to be in the Finals. Shakhtar - Its highly unlikely, but nevertheless you cannot ignore their ability. Shalke - Raul, is STILL in prime form. Shalke still has the ability to give sleepless nights to a lot of teams. Tottenham- I'd love to see them go all the way to Wembley They have been EXCEPTIONALLY well in this tournament. Chelsea - No offense, but I'd like them to face some tough competition early on, so that they can prove that they are back in the form they were last season in the league.
Manchester Utd - I honestly am bored to see them winning all the time. So again some tough competition, maybe a Barca tie might do them some good this time in Quarters.
Barcelona - Same as ManU. Man, is it really that hard to win against them??? If so, then why not make winning more tough by putting up Chelsea, or ManU early on against them. That will surely give them a surprise ;)
Real Madrid - I would love this team to atleast reach the Semis, if not the Finals, as their performance honestly have been overshadowed by Barca everywhere they play.
Inter Milan - The only thing that could have brought their confidence back, was a win against Bayern. And they did it in STYLE \m/. They sure have sent a message across all the clubs that they are not to be taken lightly. Not yet!!

well arsenals a good team no doubt..but i think they play beautiful football rather than match winning football..their one touch passing has made them very predictable and they struggle against a good defensive side..Mourinho yes is a good manager having led good teams to victory..but hes primarily been in charge of teams that have had good players.RM,chelsea..porto though did not have big names was the best team in their league..wenger is one heck of a manager no doubt but his trophy cabinets been empty for little too long now..mourinho is the right manager to win u a trophy but to build up a good side from a bunch of school boys wenger is the right man..i hope they dont win because MU's winning the league this year for sure
i got ur point that at the age of 8 u gt to understand all aspects of game ... i will take that into account before reading ur post from next time..
Again , don't get me wrong ,I am least bothered wd wat u were or r.....Secondly if u cld read ,i said i don't like Manu...So,malignin if it was is a natural phenomenon....Gettin to pt man ,if u cld see the declinin form of chelsea after some players were out of form nd some injured,we needed some gud plyers..we wanted Torees in preseason window but then liverpool were not ready.torres himself has admitted he wanted to join chelsea..now if we are guilty of fulfillin sm1's wishes ,we are...so this offer and now 4 Lucas Piazon if 'ur majesty' could also read chelsea has been trackin the player 4 two years......bcz of juventus bein intrsted we had to raise d offer(wat did u want:chelsea to gift d player just bcz sm1 didnot hav sense enough to see d justification bhnd d offer). Now,man come to Manu.. Bestever example of underemployed players....star Nani is askin hike in salary or he wud quit..........chicharito is in negotiations 4 fee hike.........Ronney remained after a whoopin increase of 100000 pounds.......All this such an embarrassment ...........See here clubs like chelsea come in play when gud players don't get wat dey deserve
PS..I also represent my college team at university level nd best thin "I don't boast"".. grown up listenin to "simple man(lynyrd-skynyrd)

paharidude this post is dedicated esp to u... I m nt gonna go any further n will call a truce here...White Flag as usual..!!
Bcz mate reconciliation is not the Virtue of a feeble man but of a man with strong character n humility... paharidude i hope nw u gt my point.. plus i dnt wanna go into 1 topic wid arguments n spoil the beauty of this divine thread for me...
hi guys.. i m new to this post although i hv been following it fr quite sum time.. i m a footabll fanatic..and i support man united.... i also like real madrid and arsenal.... i think on this thread peoople spend too much time and space on squabbling and fighting....and i think if we r true football fans then instead we should concentrate solely on soccer... regarding champions league draw.. its going to be one heck of draw......and ma dream linings are..
man utd vs spurs(because they cant seem to win against us..records speak fr themselves..) real vs chelsea.. shakhtar vs schalke(surprise packages..esp shakhtar) inter vs barca.. letc waht those balls decide..
and I agree with shaun that saf is dragging a very average man utd side..and he may well darag it to over the line.. but honestly nw a days u dont get that joy watcching them play..if u compare them with time when ronaldo and tevez were here..and when scholesy and giggsy were on peak of their prowess..
ps-ronaldo and rooney together were a treat to watch fr any football fan... same as xavi,iniesta and messi terroising the opposition defences..
