I agree with you that Barca are special. It's like watching 11 men make love to a beautiful women.
Sublime..................
Never read this thread. Iam a huge soccer fan. Played it all my life. I coach indoor soccer this season for boys and girls club. we won today 15-2
Really worried about my team, Newcastle, at the moment, things are just not good. Our managers off work indefinitely, we have 7 out injured, a number of whom are important players for us and we just cannot buy a win at the moment. I can genuinely seeing us being another Leeds if we go down.
Oh and Barca, if they play at something like 70% of their best will win the Champion's League. They are just special

Barca are 6-0 up with half an hour to go at home to Malaga, playing some special stuff. Any football fan should watch. If you don't have the channel it's on, well, you're on the internet, they'll be a way
LFC has been the most sucesfull team in Europe and KO competions since Rafa took over, love him or hate him he is a genius when it comes to these formats.
Hmmm, is that actually true ....................
Rafa :
FA Cup - 2006
League cup - XXXX
CL - 2005
Fergie :
FA Cup - XXXX
League Cup - 2006 2009
CL - 2008
The above are just the European and KO competitions you speak of. I left out Super Cups & World Club Cups as they are not KO formats as such. If you are talking about 2nd's 3rd's and 4th's etc, well, hmmmmm who cares.
The Liverpool FANS here who expressed concern at drawing Chelsea, NOT LFC.
I think most Liverpool fans are just bored of the fixture rather being that worried, any team at this stage is gonna be half decent
My turn to LMAO, 2004 - 5 - 6 - 7 has little or no baring on CL 2009, only 2008 could have some influence on it, maybe.
answered in previous post
One current Liverpool legend ( SG ) said last weekend he hoped they would draw Porto or Villarreal. Which two Barca legends do you speak of btw?
Cryuff and I think the other was Stoichkov, and anyone with any iota of intelligence would have said hat they wanted Villareal or Porto as on paper they are the 2 weakest teams left
So to draw Chelsea after already doing the double against them this season obviously isn't something for Liverpool FANS here expressing their concerns, to be grateful about? Madrid the form team? - My god the Spanish league must be in an awful state then.
just check the stats on La Liga b4 the Liverpool result, I believe madrid had won 9 on the bounce.
Yep, Utd got the "gift" by overcoming the mighty Inter Milan in the last 16, very "lucky" indeed. :joyman:
You might as well go back 10 years using this system, hell, 20 for that matter. Also you might as well count from the last 16 teams, maybe even 32.
Won one and made the final in one in the last four years. If they don't win it this year you will have to quote the last "five" years if you want to still include that one win in your statistics. Do you see the patterns I speak of.
EDIT: It's the name on the Cup or Trophy that counts the most.
Even Ferguson admitted Utd were lucky to beat Inter in the 2nd leg, if inter had a half decent striker they could have got a result. And getting the perfect 1/4 and semi draw is pretty lucky too as after Porto and Villareal I think Arse are the weakest team left
WTF are ManU doing, there gifting the LFC the title!
My life would be hell if Liverpool won the title!
You obviously didn't understand the context of what Ferguson was actually saying. Soundly beating Inter Milan was in no way lucky, not by a long stretch. You use the words if & could, but those two words count for nothing at the final whistle. But if you want to insist that Man Utd are just continuously "lucky" and you actually believe it, cool. I hope all their opponents think like you.
Sorry, Jay, but you follow Everton, so your life has been hell since 1973, with a small ray of sunshine in 84-85. It's never too late to leave the dark side and come into the light.....just 400 yards across the park.
I understood what Fergie meant, he was saying if Inter had a half decent striker Utd would have been in trouble, he was trying to give his defenders a kick up the arse
As for Chelsea they bought success by buyin a lot of players who were in their prime in a short space of time for a lot of money, the problem with that is that they have a aging side with no real young talent to replace thm with and Abramovich seems to be reluctant to shell out another huge ammount of money so when all the 30+'s Lampard, Drogba, Ballack, Carvahlo, Anelka, Deco, Ferriera, Hilario, Belletti are not performing week in week out ( and I think this has already started) they dont have the next generation to replace them, and Terry, Malouda, A.Cole & J.Cole are only a couple of years off 30 too. The only top quality players in mid 20's they have are Essien, Cech and Boswinga and I have a feeling the 1st 2 at least will be courted by Barca and Inter in the summer and lure of those 2 maybe hard for them to resist.
Going by what you say here, should I be tempted to say, "Omg Liverpool are so lucky" ?
Not sure wtf my assessment of Chelsea's squad has to do with 'luck' but as U seem fixated on this one comment I made I think I will move on.
safc would be Southampton? If so, you must meet Beardyian.....you two could be pals! Or maybe not.....
Grats Ian on the win - glad you won, glad Everton lost and glad that an ex-Red (who I thought did very well at LFC given his limited opportunities) did the damage - all good!
BTW, I think I also predicted a Pompey win - but 1-0 not 2-1.
SAFC i believe would be Sunderland http://www.safc.com/home/
I even bet on them to win i never win my footy bets - the last 10 mins can kill a lot of winners for me lol
No! The Scots most lose .Spain v Turkey on Saturday might be a decent match. And Lithuania v France looks interesting. The French have struggled so far. The Scots are playing away to Holland and it would be great if they could grab a point. Portugal v Sweden could also be a good game. They are both below Albania in their qualifying group at the moment.
