Good

 

they're sporting an incredible side this season, so all subjectivity aside it will be hard for anyone to knock them out.
imho, you only beat Barcelona if you have a manager who knows what he's doing. Hiddink did it first with Chelsea in the 0-0 leg in the Camp Nou, and Mourinho did it last season with Inter.

this year though, in La Liga, Mourinho (understandably) changed tactics and decided to keep it a more open field and RM got beat 5-0 !!! of course, the RM players take more of the blame than the manager in that one, but the tactics must factor in

 

oh and Barcelona can enjoy their golden year 2 seasons ago if this is the fashion they "won" everything in

YouTube - Chelsea - Barcelona | penalties

YouTube - 4 Penalty Appeals Champions League Semi Finals Chelsea v Barcelona

this allowed them to win 3 trophies out of 6

they can enjoy it

ps: football-wise, nothing taken away from the fabulous Messi header in the final against Utd + the coolness of Iniesta's strike against Chelsea

 

Agreed, everyone complains when people play Barca defensively, but it's the only way to beat them.

 

Nasri is playing, fwiw. I always hate when my 2 teams are playing. When I cheer for one doing well, it means the other isn't.

My hope is they each win at home and it comes down to who wins bigger... which is most likely Barca.

I hate it, but at least the winner will be the eventual champion!

 

Here's an easy chart to help you get the names straight:

 

those who complain are most probably Barca fans who think it's the end of the world when their team draws
most i have come across need a reality check, and they tend to only get in the CL lately (even in the year they won it )


i know what you mean, i feel the same when Chelsea play Newcastle..
did you catch the Carling Cup match?
i celebrated 7 goals but had no idea what to feel later

edit: you guys think Arsenal have what it takes to actually win the CL?
i'm all for English teams doing well, but that is far-fetched don't you think?

you saw yesterday how Tottenham won it with BODY STRENGTH
this is what you need in the CL - and the premier league .. especially in MF and not just in defense
it surprises me how this has eluded Wenger for so many years

the likes of Bergkamp, Henry, Viera, A Cole..

 

holy ... what a game! what a SPEED from both teams!! arsenal is doing well, they deserve a 1:1.

 

now its 1:1

 

holy shit....2:1 arsenal
