Champions League Final
 

anyone else planning on watching what should be a cracking final.. Man United play the better football, but I think Chelsea will edge it 2-1

Yes, Brockman

Looking forward to it.

I think Utd could stroll away with this tonight. They are playing with such confidence at the moment, and in a strange way, the pressure is off them. The fans won't be annyoed if they don't win tonight. They have won the league and that is the most important thing for any English club (in my opinion). Tonight is Chelsea's season, and the pressure will be on them from the start. I can see Chelsea trying too hard to score and leaving gaps at the back.

From what I can gather, a couple of the Chelsea players probably won't be 100% fit, either.

Utd to win with some comfort. 3-1

Isn't this the sports room? Shouldn't this be in Esoteric?

We let this one slide and the next thing you know there will be Cricket threads.

yawn!

I could start an IPL thread, it's unbelievable how fanatical the Indians are,
a cracking game today.http://www.thetwenty20cup.co.uk/db/i...sp?NewsID=2837

anyway, the football has been cagey enough at the start, United on top.

GOOOOAL - 1-0 United, Ronaldo, a class header...

BLAH....BLAH...BLAH...


Just let me know if they show the drunks rioting on ESPN.

They actually have this crap on TV there?

opening up now, 2 cracking saves from Cech... this is anything but crap..

GOOOOAL - 1-1 we've a game on here. Lampard capitalises on United keepers slip (i dont know who i am commentating this for!!)

that was last week Kev, bloody rangers fans.. and this started during the game..

damn....how come I always miss the only good parts of soccer games??'


CRACKING!!!!:rolleyes:

Tally ho!@!!

Ho Tally!!

Why does the goalie where I microphone? Is it a Britney thing?

Spyder's Ho ....oh, sorry wrong thread!

full time 1-1, on to extra time and possibly penalties. i hope noone was looking forward to whatever was supposed to be on afterwards..

edit: nice touch spyder! :-)

Penalties

Hate them..

Rolando sucks

As a Man U fan, I'm glad, but that was a miracle win. After playing a great match, I feel terrible for Terry. Shootouts are a horrible necessary evil. I don't see how a fan can feel too great after a shootout win. I guess you take it any way you can get it.

Well done United, jammy buggers..

I guess the picture I posted got in the way of the question:

Why does the goalie wear a microphone??

So he can talk on the net.









nyuk-nyuk-nyuk

Those were referees or assitant refs. They wear mic's so they can communicate with each other over the din.

The goalies are mic-less.

Shootouts blow....in any sport. I can't stand them defining the outcome of a hard fought game and that was an unbelievably hard fought game yesterday. The hatred those two teams have for each other certainly boiled over.

Question for our resident Euros, does FIFA/UEFA (or whomever presides over the Champions League) ever look at the tape after the game and issue fines/suspensions, etc...for shitty behavior missed by the referee?

I hate to admit it but......
























I laughed.
