Monty Hall Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Re: UEFA Champions League ( 28-29 April ) What a ridiculous half.. I can't believe Chelsea would stoop to this level?! Absloutly praying to take the game to Stamford Bridge.. I have a sneaky sensation we'll see the same game there.. And soory to cry but the UEFA official Stark has some nerve to start speaches at this level.. let the game role you w**ker:spank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrolios Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Re: UEFA Champions League ( 28-29 April ) Come on, that's pathetic. I can understand tactics etc etc but this is like chelsea admitting its level is far below barca. God bless they didn't get compensated from this drogba chance(what was he thinking and he dribbled when he got the rebound, poor decision) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jquik Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Re: UEFA Champions League ( 28-29 April ) I don't see what everyone is slating Chelsea for... United did it last season, got the 0-0, took it back to Old Trafford and won it there. This is a tactical game, not some '5-a-side kickabout' where point are given for the most goals. If there is anything Hiddink is good at, it's tactical battles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Hall Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Re: UEFA Champions League ( 28-29 April ) Then lets not call Chelsea a top European Club because this is just shameful! Look how Porto played at Old Trafford.. that's something to respect Edit: How do Chelsea expect to progress after this kind of display?

Teabag Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Re: UEFA Champions League ( 28-29 April ) Very good half for Chelsea and they had the best chance Barca need more width - they need to go for the full backs Chelsea could nick one here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAVIDIAN Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Re: UEFA Champions League ( 28-29 April ) sweet beard of zeus. i cant believe it's took me until the 3rd page of this thread to find someone with a sensible grasp of what will happen tonight. any of you who think chelsea stand a chance tonight cant have been watching barcelona a great deal this season. they are simply one of the finest sides to have ever played the game. think of the brazil team of the 1970's and your somewhere near. forget about what has happened in the past between these 2 sides or about when barca has faced english sides in the competiton in the last few years. this barca team under guradiola and with the form of inniesta, xavi, eto, messi and henry are simply unstoppable. drogba will cause problems blah blah ******* blah. drogba wont have the opportunity to cause problems as chelsea's midfield wont have hold of the ball long enough to give the ball to him. chelsea will be chasing shadows all night long. i've gone for barca 4-0 and dont be surprised if it's that score by half time. i've also gone for a treble of barca, mk dons and werder bremen and andded dynamo kiev to that in a seperate four timer. go and do your homework again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jquik Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Re: UEFA Champions League ( 28-29 April ) Edit: How do Chelsea expect to progress after this kind of display? The exact same way Man Utd did last season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevhickie80 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Re: UEFA Champions League ( 28-29 April ) Whats quite funny is that a couple of years ago Jose Mourinho complained about teams not as good as them were going to the Bridge and parking the bus to get a draw.Now, Chelsea -albeit under a different gaffer - are going to the favourites for the competition and are carrying out the same tactic. Will you hear any Chelsea fan complaining if they snatch a draw - absolutely not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torn up slip Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Re: UEFA Champions League ( 28-29 April ) go and do your homework again shut up you clown. my analysis of the game was based on the 2 teams actually attempting to play football. hiddink was saying that he would be looking for a away goal and therfore you assume that they are going to actually put players in front of the ball and try and attack. the sort of thing your watching here from chelsea is something you expect from the likes of san marino or kazakhstan against england at international level. these 2 teams are supposed to be evenly matched and like someone has already said, the wat chelsea are playing is shameful and like they are admitting they are woefully short of barca. which they would be shown to be if they actually grew some testicales. id be wholly embarassed if i was a chelsea fan, player or their manager tonight.

JimmyHarris1980 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Re: UEFA Champions League ( 28-29 April ) Some of the comments on here are plain daft. This is a champions league semi-final not an end to end kick about down the local park with your mates. Football at the highest level is all about tactics and disciplined teamwork and this can de demonstrated just as effectively from a defensive approach as it can an offensive. If people cannot appreciate this fact they should stop moaning and go and watch basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Knows Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Re: UEFA Champions League ( 28-29 April ) :clap At last someone with some sense!

Jonesy Knows Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Re: UEFA Champions League ( 28-29 April ) :dude Barcelona v Chelsea I think Hiddink has played mind games suggesting Bosingwa can stop Messi. Messi is no doubt Barcelona's main threat to Chelsea and just like what Chelsea did to Liverpool in man marking Gerrard with Essien, I think Hiddink will do the same with Messi and have Essien mark him! Interesting stat time!!! In 3 encounters between English & Spanish teams in Champions League Semi Finals the 1st legs have only yielded 1 goal in the 3 encounters!!! English Teams v Spanish Opposition in the Champions League Semi Finals since Tournament inception: 2000/2001 Leeds played Valencia drawing the 1st leg 0 v 0 at Elland Road and losing the 2nd leg in Spain 3 v 0. 2005/2006 Arsenal played Villareal winning the 1st leg at The Emirates 1 v 0 and drawing the 2nd leg in Spain 0 v 0. 2007/2008 Man Utd played Barcelona drawing the 1st leg in Spain 0 v 0 and winning the 2nd leg at OT 1 V 0. Predictions: Draw @3.50 Paddypower :cow No Goalscorer @11.00 Paddypower (Note this gives us 0 v 0 scoreline and also if the 1st goal scored is an own goal - 2 bets for the price of 1!) :cow Under 2 Goals @3.75 William Hill :cow :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzi Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Re: UEFA Champions League ( 28-29 April ) I'd like to congratulate Torn Up Slip for truly proving his worth :) Incidentally, anyone that watches football expected that performance tonight. Liverpool did it a couple of years back here, United did it last year, Chelsea were always going to do the same. Why? Because it works! Barcelona only have one style of football and men behind the ball stops Barca playing! Barca had what, 17 chances? How many clear-cut? 3? The only ways they could win this game were via set pieces or individual brilliance. Chelsea can defend against that kind of one-dimensional attack all day long.

Enjoy your winnings. :ok As for the match, 0:0 isnt that bad for Barcelona either. Today we saw Drogba having one chance.. if Chelsea is going to play more offensive in next match they will have more problems with Barcelona offense and any draw from 1:1 is in favour of Barcelona ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Re: UEFA Champions League ( 28-29 April ) That was classic Hiddink tonight, what a tactician that man is. Messi hardly got a kick.

I suppose thats why he gets paid to offer his opinion whilst we are mere amateurs. There were other tipsters who tipped for 0:0 or 1:1.. they dont get paid To some up this was really confusing.. I kept hoping Barca would score but the "tactics" which is a word used for cowardly display won over the creative beautiful football.. I hate to think Chelsea would get anywhere with this and wherever they go I hope they lose.. I lost my bet tonight but I have no complaints whatsoever to barca, they played their football.. luckily for Guus and his "men" the referee let them get away with these aggressive fouls.. they wont have Stark to save them at Stamford bridge. I'm not a Barca fan but hope Chelsea lose.. Nice evening altogether from barca and good for them.. down with Chelsea and their "tactics".. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe in belittling somebody for a lack of judement but the way he wrote his initial post any criticism is fully justified imo. I told him he was setting himself up for a big fall and so it proved. I've been in this game long enough to learn that sweeping statements more often than not leave you with egg on your face.
