The Ongoing Serie A, La Liga, All English Football, Champions League Thread - Part 9

[Dr Lee]

this must be how the chelsea fans felt last night.....

[Darthphere]

This was the draw from last year, so really it's pretty much the same quality wise.

Real Madrid/ Tottenham Hotspur
Chelsea/ Manchester United
Barcelona/ Shakhtar Donetsk
Internazionale/ Schalke 04

[Iceman]

The English teams usually make up a big proportion of the quarter finalists & they are all generally regarded as good outside of Barca & Real. Guess that's the main difference.

[Harry_Lime02]

APOEL, Marseille and Benfica are all weaker than anyone in that line-up IMO, except perhaps Schalke. Even this Chelsea side isn't as strong as last year's Chelsea.

[spidey-dude]

i would say marseille and benifica are better than shaktur and maybe schalke

sky sports news reporting that Fernando Torres has whiplash after last nights game

[Dr Lee]

*Fumes* we are so **** tonight

[the_ultimate_evil]

complete ****, rio was at fault for the goal, he seemed to just be ball watching

the ref so far appears to be a homer, someone needs to be shot before he will give united a free kick

[Darthphere]

I was expecting a stronger side to be put out. I don't think SAF cares about this match at all.

[Hunter Rider]

We have the strongest side out we can muster with Nani and Tony V injured, truth is we are chasing shadows, this is a quality Bilbao side and we do not do well against midfields that move the ball quickly with a short passing game, and who harass us when we have the ball.

[Darthphere]

Still when has playing Rooney as the lone striker ever worked?

[Dr Lee]

This is horrible to watch..... i think SAF has given up & the team is just making sure we don't get any more injuries.....

[Iceman]

What is up with Utd in Europe this season?

[the_ultimate_evil]

and this ladies and gentlemen is whats called a ****ing embarrassment

[Dr Lee]

might just turn this off now...

[kit1982]

And this United fans is what it feels like to be a Leeds fan every week.....

[Darthphere]

Wow, I've never seen this team just give up as much as they have this season.

[Iceman]

What a pathetic Euro campaign for a team with Utd's history.

[Hunter Rider]

Completely outclassed, we simply cannot cope with the style of football Bilbao and Barca play, we don't have the legs or the technique in the team to do it.

Hats off to Bilbao, I really hope they go on and win the whole thing, they are a fantastic team.

[Darthphere]

You know I said I kind of wanted them to get knocked out but man, what a pathetic display.

[Jack O Lantern]

The Oxford Dictionary defines shambles as;

A three man midfield comprised of Giggs, Park and Carrick

[Darthphere]

Well Man City is ending their European campaign early as well it seems.

[Two-Face]

I was upset I missed the Man Utd game but seems I'm glad I did. We've been poor this season in Europe. especally at OT.

[bapi]

1st half absolutely horrible, 2nd was better but still... 5 months ago I really wouldn't think we would need this guy to save our season:



And Bilbao is class.

[Dr Lee]

City failed as well?

Completely agree, The only chance I think UTD would have is if they stuck Rooney behind Welbeck as an attacking midfielder. Either way I thought it was once again a poor performance from UTD and a wonderful job by Bilbao. Not much to really say about City, expect I felt City should have atleast been given the corner at the end.
