I'm really really worried about Chelsea in the CL tomorrow. I know they will lose at Barca but I hope they don't completely embarrass themselves at home.

Maz-

Not so "special" anymore, eh Mourinho?

2-1 isn't a poor result when you have the away goal

they played poorly last night but they're still in a decent position to advance

evilbob

Third win in acl this year and 0 to the other aussie teams. lolololololololololol

evilbob

Top of group E, having a laugh. Top of group E and we're having laugh.

Draeven

if there is one thing i have learned from posting in this thread for the last couple years is that Adelaide always does well in the ACL no matter what their club record is.

Meanwhile, in Shanghai, Nicholas Anelka has just been made player-manager- I can't yet determine whether that was even a thing he'd requested- and has no idea what the hell he's doing.

Well he is an expert in the transfer market.

FUN FACT: The manager has zero say in transfer decisions at Shanghai.

89th minute thievery. Love it!

Fuck you drogba!

Lol fuck barca.

Lord_Snot

Noooooooooooooooo, god damnit.

C'mon Barca.

TheBlackWind

Damn it. Felt like Barca just couldn't sink what felt like an inevitable goal. Cech played really well.

Lord_Snot

:cry:

That's fucking shocking, really surprised Barca lost.

Cristo

They never do particularly well in England though, they've got a surprisingly shite record there actually. Messi has never scored on English soil either.

themightypuck

Moot. No way Chelsea can park the bus in the Nou Camp.

But it would be awesome.

Didn't he score in last year's Champions League final?

I do feel sure that Barca will beat Chelsea at Nou Camp though. (Hopefully.)

Tav

I'd love for Chelski to get through. I've a soft spot for underdogs, even if they are scum.

themightypuck

Inter beat them by winning close at home and getting lucky/playing ugly away.

Was that at Wembley?

Maybe, I dunno. It's just what I've heard the commentators say multiple times now!

oldmanken

For some reason the English media like to use any angle they can to downplay a foreign team/player when facing off against an English team. The fact that they chose to highlight that insignificant stat is totally ludicrous.

y2jake215

And it's not even true - he did score at Wembley last year. Maybe there's some additional qualifier on that statement, like.. "on a Tuesday"

themightypuck

In any case, if you want to sell me on a statistically insignificant correlation, you need to give me a compelling mechanism and a good story.

Hitsuraptor

I think its actually Messi hasn't scored against Chelsea, least im pretty sure that's what the commentators said this morning
Mind you last time we played them was 09 and before that was I think 07? So he hasn't really had many chances since he hit superform
Really happy with the win, but gonna need an even bigger effort next week at the nou camp to progress though

Gosling

Lionel Messi has never won against an Englishman while blindfolded and hog-tied to a steam-powered deathtrap in which a crude rocket is fired into the Thames with Messi attached.

Don't ask about the Mersey.

He didn't do well last night, and Arsenal had him shut down both games they've played at the Emirates.

Draeven

soo, FM doesn't save automaticaly after games and my computer has crashing problems, i just got done smoking portsmouth and dont know if Ill get the same result
ballls.

Yougottawanna

I'm rooting for Barca, but I still think it's cool that Chelsea made it interesting. Also cool to see that Drogba can still deliver a vicious gutpunch when it counts.

oldmanken

The speed at which Newcastle move and pass the ball is really impressive.

oldmanken

And Hoilett really needs to stop being so awesome for Blackburn. We need England to pass him by so Canada can call him up...

Maz-

El Clasico is on right now and nobody here's talking about it? Boo.

Real is up 2-1.

Gosling

Well, if they hadn't stuck it on ESPN Deportes and allowed Toronto/Chicago to be the only game on here...

EDIT: And within thirty borking seconds Toronto is losing again. What a shocker.

Draeven

Aaron Winter might not be long for the TFC coaching seat.

Draeven

Of course as i say that we get a beautifl Goal from Lambe. And in the 2 mins i have been watching , lambe gets a brace ...maybe TFC should pay me to watch their games.

oldmanken

If they don't pull out at least a draw in this one, they need to sack Winter. Keep Mariner and bring in Nichol.

They've played eachother like 6 times this year, no one cares anymore.
