Champions League 2012/2013

[=Bright=]

but I'd still take the short guy playing for Barça

You need to be a bit more specific about this one.

[Erebus Pasha]

Schalke are in a crisis & Dortmund have a comparably average season. Not a chance they will win it, quarter-final at best. If not, I'll never hear the end of them boasting about it. German teams have a good record in front of turkish fans, Gala will still go through - Whitewolf, I'm counting on you. Some right-wing corners in Schalkes will be jubilant. Real...Wouldn't you like it to let them wait a decade longer for their 10th title?

I rate Dortmund - I'm a big fan of them and have been since they won the CL back in 1997. They seem to be concentrating on Europe as Bayern have been nigh on unbeatable in the Bundesliga. I'm actually hoping they can go all the way. I think Gala have done brilliantly to get to the knockout stage but I see Schalke edging this. Maybe Gala can go one better next year when the likes of Sneijder and Drogba are really settled in

[bradavies]

Dortmund and PSG are my dark horses. I'm not pitching them as favourites but I certainly wouldn't want to play them.

[Treva, the Renewer]

Real wont win, because we're going to knock them out at Old Trafford.

The best thing to do is watch Crackňvia on TV3.

*cough* *cough* RVP *cough*
Oh, and whilst he may not be the best, Jackson Martinez is a very good striker also.

Jackson 'I-think-I?M-Abreu-and-mess-up-penalties' Martínez? Need some cough drops, hon?

We never played against your club The last time the corpse-corporation won against us saw Suicide Dan featuring as our defensive organisator besides Tam Rogne. Must have made Eck McNair turn in his grave.

Dortmund were the best team of the group stages, and they got out of the group of death.

Not much more an accomplishment than beating Inverness. Ah, you didn't, but, hey, the Highlanders are probably more resilient than Dundee Utds nightmare of a back four & goalkeeper.
Sevco did at least beat them, didn't they? Don't disappoint me, love. You promised me to be the best.

It's all pence and pounds to you, eh? You're just gonna throw legalities at me every time?

Yilmaz can be a great. Robben was remarkably efficient 3-4 years ago. Has lost a bit gallusness & composure, Ribery is performing way better atm.

But Arjen is bald, and Bald means awesomeness.

Ah and the short guy will be out of the competition soon.

Well, yes, he won't be playing after May, if that's what you mean.

You need to be a bit more specific about this one.

Oh, no, any of the short guys playing for them will do.

?? You trying to be funny?

Again. ??

[Treva, the Renewer]

?? You trying to be funny?

Nope, I'm recommending a really enjoyable television program.

Again. ??

Just liek Cold_Mac, I have a penchant for theatrical theatrics.

[bradavies]

Then what is Crackovia?

[Cyrus Da Great]

Milan will get good beating when play @ camp nou

[Treva, the Renewer]

@bradavies: Crackňvia is a tv show from Catalan channel tv3. It's very recommendable that you speak/understand Spanish or Catalan. Or even Italian.

I am nominally a Legia Warszawa fan. Should we develop a rivalry?

[Ishoss]

I am feeling a sudden urge to support Wisla.

[Treva, the Renewer]

Ishoss, I support one club in blue, I might as well pick up another one while we're at this…

[Korpskog]

Lets do it! However I doubt I will go back to Poland another time in the future, did not go there for the EURO so unless Hammarby IF will play Europa League in a near future it is highly unlikely xD

However my focus today is on Napoli - Juve!

[Treva, the Renewer]

On a paltry 1-1 match that Napoli, being southerners, were bound to botch? Pah.

Anyway, this week's two derbies in Spain will give us a measure of what Urited and Milan can expect which, for now, is that at least ManYoo's got a bit of work to do.

[Korpskog]

It appears my whishes have come true, Giorgio Chiellini was superb against Napoli with his one goal and 90 minutes man-man marking of Edison Cavani. Hate to go all hybris on you guys but Juventus have "one of" if not the best defensive line in the whole tournament (goalie included).

Great pass by Pirlo btw.

The most controvercial Chiellini/Cavani duel

[eXistenZ]

Grabbing a player by the hair, that is like the weakest thing you can do. Is chiellini a 10year old girl?

[Korpskog]

In my opinion it is the player who can't handle verbal and pysical "insults?" and decides to use violence who is the 10 year old girl. These kind of incidents are part of the game but violence however is not and should never be tolorated. Im still hung up on the whole giving Zinedine Zidane the MVP-award in WC2006 since he acted like a spoiled brat in the final.

[eXistenZ]

So pulling hair is "insult", but giving an elbow is voilence? Yeah that makes sense. Chiellini should have kept his hand off, simple as that. You can provoke with words all you want, but if you start doing that (physical contact on a place where it is not necessary at all, especially the head), you deserve to be elbowed in the face. What goes around comes around. If that is chiellini great defending, the solution is easy: bald opponents and he is nowhere

The result will be: cavani suspended, and juve players walk free. again...

[bradavies]

the solution is easy: bald opponents and he is nowhere.

Chiellini would have a field day against Fellaini.
