Football

dude operative words are champions league, its a different competition, so they can say it with impunity, seeing as the champions league has been going for what eighteen years.
Personally I'm all for a return to the old fashioned knock out, puts the fear into you every match, and means teams have to play every match as if it were their last.

But Mike if it was Liverpool after they won it in 2005? you'd be all over it like a rash. Take off the blinkers man, its just a statistic...

I disagree. It is exactly the same cup. Otherwise they would not have given it to us to keep in 2005. They can't change the semantics of it as and when they please.

Fact of the matter is. We successfully defended that trophy in 1978

Real Madrid defended it a fair few times in the 50s I believe.

Kaka! fuck me!

You heard it here first

Barnet have nothing to do with this mate

wenger will pull it round.it's just not worked this year, next year will be better.
at least arsenal try and play attractive football.liverpool are grafters but chelsea just stop the game from flowing, i don't like there style or any of there players at all.

chelsea are very strong and very disciplined, look at the middle of the park! not an easy team to get at but ideal for breaking down other teams then long ball to Drogba - who is about the only lone striker that works in that position.

Wenger has the makings of a great squad, but he has lost a good 18mths through injuries and letting players go. as i had said before he has given games to Bendtner, Song, Nasri, Gibbs, Eboue, Djouro, Deni, Theo all bit part players last year. its a huge leap in experience where they have done well but when it comes to the crunch they lost discipline and composure to a stronger team.. twice.... but they have gone 21 games un-beaten

Next year its the turn of Eddy, Vela, Ramsey, Wiltshire and Barazitre.. .we'll be alright

Just seen the Fletcher challenge again, absolutely shocking decision, gotta feel for the lad. Won the ball, end of.
That Fabregas is one diving cheating cunt too

Thing is though, the ref'll see it, realise he's made an error but UEFA still won't back down as they won't want to lose face

You are on your regionalism hose today aren't you?

Can't watch tonights game. Going to see Deadmou5 at the Electric Ballroom. Should be a good night

Joe, can you bring your d-lock please ;-)

Also, I don't think this sudden love-in between Taggart and Wegner is helping Arsenal. Where are the days when the likes of Keown were prancing around Van-Horse boy laughing in his face and all the rioting that ensued? Seems like now that Raffa is Fergies P.E. number 1, probably because he feels this is where the biggest threat now lies, fergie is suddenly mates with all the other lot

Effra bump... AndyP? Bueller?

I may drop in Joe, but after the track league at HH.

I may head down after lawn bowls, joseph, to watch your mob of shite batter the spaniards

Cool, bring the rest of the bods too... You should catch most of the second half...

Happy birthday Mike;)

only problem with that card is its grossly overpriced, made in the USA and blows over rolling around at the slightest breeze from a window..

its also a cunt

Jo Jo, eta 7.15, save a space for me.

Just had a meeting about a work thing with Paul Canoville - Chelsea's first black player. He was heading off to Stamford Bridge, but couldn't swing me a ticket!

Where's the Effra???

Kellett Road, off Effra Road (opposite St Matthews Church)

Thanks, Mark, see you there.

Chelsea v Barca LIVE now!
