Champions League 11/12

Patters

Heh. At the first sign of a team daring to make life difficult for Barca, they get punished by the referee.

Nobody denies Barcelona are the best team around. I have seen many great teams over the years and IMO this Barcelona team over the past couple of years are the best of the lot. But it's getting a bit tedious now that the ref bails them out as soon as they're in a spot of bother. I'm almost glad we didn't get past Milan. Having to endure the ref sending Kosicielny off for winning a header would've cost me a broken screen.

It's times like these I wouldn't mind seeing a European Super League or whatever they were proposing to call it as long as we're in it. Take some of the power away from UEFA/FIFA. It's clear they can't be touched as things are right now.

Mexes is pony.
Joke of a penalty BUT, a corner for Milan and there will be huge pressure on the ref to be consistent in his decisionmaking.

There's no such pressure when the game is played at Camp Nou.

Edit: See what I mean?

Sirius

So much for consistency...

Hmmm.
He'll only be consistent in that he'll award Barca a hat trick's worth of penalties.

Rex

Wasn't a penalty. Good by the ref.

Klaus

Was more of a penalty than Barcelona's second penalty.

Bless. Milan thought they could win a penner there

I'm not going to get into a discussion about whether or not it was a penalty, but why on earth does Nesta even give him the opportunity? Holding the shirt like that, and refusing to let go is just ridiculously stupid.

Captain

Know you all hate Barca but that was a penalty all day and it was well played by busquets.

Nesta probably does that week in week out without having a penalty awarded against him.
He surely would not have been as blatant about it if he thought he was going to be penalised?

Boring game

Bastards are catching the breaks.
Our only hope is that insufferable fool Mourinho. Maybe Munich.

Klaus

Well, that's that. Rex's favourite player ends the game.

Rex

Stop trolling Klaus. 🙂

I'm sure Mourinho fancies his chances against them over a single game at a neutral venue. I think they have a decent chance.

Or at least a better chance than anyone else.

Tony Montana

Fluke deflection for Iniesta's goal from Messi's shot.

Sirius

Edit: Never mind Tony made the point already. Annoying how they always get the bounce.

Rex

Klaus, that dungeon btw - Blackreach right?
