something is happening. i have ALMOST resigned myself to watching arsenal win a trophy and Pool win the PL.

fucking whore.

when is the PC?

wigan i can understand, but why city? a draw or a pool win suits us MUCH better for our title ambitions.

and CR7? there goes any advantage of yours.

Not at all. Wanted RM in the draws. But these 2 ties would give a football fan everything. Rm and bayern will be an end to end encounter. Chelsea and ATM will be a defensive and tactical, if not cagey. Both the matches will be quality. And due to the similarness of the teams playing each other, you simply can't guess the result.

mikel will be sold. ramires has shown that he is not very comfortable in the no.8 role. judgement on mvg is still to be made lamps is past it. DL despite his liabilities is a massive big game player. its not a co-incidence that he has played against city, pool, united, arsenal, and CL matches (which are all big matches). jose definitely rates him high in mid.

the point is, if we sell DL, then who do we buy? our options for CMs are definite - MATIC, RAMBO maybe - MVG should not be - LAMPS, MIKEL. cos lets be honest, his chelsea career as a CB may very well be over..

lets all plot to murder alex.

Michael Ballack "I wish my Team to reach the Final" Interviewer "Bayern" Ballack "No Chelsea" legend!!!!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

will we get something out of it?

dude, no one here thinks this is "easy"

1st tie - a no holds barred, attacking masterpiece of a semi. 2nd tie - a defensive, strategic and tactical masterclass. brilliant draws for the neutrals.

definitely NO.

RM v bayern ATM v chelsea Shit just got interesting.

RM v bayern ATM v chelsea Shit just got interesting.

Sevilla v valencia Benfica vs juve Nice draws.

Son of a bitch. Lol at people saying we were the "unsporting" party here.Just fuck uefa. Corrupt assholes.

seriously? now people are gonna fight over this!!!! was not the "wars of the member awards" enough??!!

HE IS OUR PLAYER. he has a contract for US. why cant he play in the final? who is forcing him not to play? have we kidnapped his family and held him to ransom? if ATM board dint have the hindsight, that is not OUR problem. and please dude NICE???!!!!! really??? should we start paying more to other clubs for transfer fees of players, just to be NICE!!! should we start selling our players for free to be NICE??!!! like i said before, do you believe that pool selling to torres for 50mil, was that "unsportman" too??? this is very true dude. we should not act scared!!! you know what, lets give ATM or any team that we face, a chance to sign any player from any team of the world for the match against us. i mean, the most important thing is to show that "we are not SCARED". again, who the hell is stopping courtois from playing against us??? we are not!!!!! we have to a clause in his contract in which he can play and give the performance of his lifetime, only if ATM pay a certain sum for the use of OUR player against US. i want to win it like a man but with intelligence and brains. ps - blackmail???? seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!! whats next?? extortion, kidnap, jihad!!!! i am sorry but i dont agree on anything with you. maybe we simply have a very different outlook on the whole issue. but just to get our facts right, courtois signing a new deal has been in the news for a couple of weeks now. dont get influenced by the media so easily.

with all due respect, we are talking about CL (semis or maybe a final). moreover, simply cant get my head around the "unsportsman" argument. these are professional players who have a contract and would play and pay accordingly. it like saying, it was "unsportsman" of liverpool to sell torres to chelsea for 50mil, or that it was unsportsman of spurs to sell bale to RM for a whoping 100mil. plus its not like chelsea is stopping ATM from playing courtois. if they want, they can play him. sell costa for a lesser value or cut some deal. this is just a good piece of business from our board, to call it "unsportsman" is absolutely unfair to them.

no PC??!!! so anyone have any update on EH17?

they were outplayed in the 2-2 draw at the caulderon too. RM were lucky to get the early goal thru benzema. after that, until the 70 minute mark it was ALL ATM. RM were lucky to come out with a draw. ATM could have had a couple of penalties thru costa, ramos could have easily been sent off. my bad on the 1st leg mix up. still does not change the fact that RM have been average at best against good/big teams 1 point from 12 against their title challengers. draw against bilbao (a) and loss to sevilla (a), their performances againt juve in CL were lukewarm too and their performance against bvb in both the legs was poor. the first match could easily have been 3-3 and the 2nd one 3/4/5-0. so RM have been far from this "awesome strike force" that the normal hype would have us believe. and IF ronaldo is actually out of the 1st leg, then this is a MAJOR boost. simply cant see benzema scoring against us, plus bale+maria against azpi+cole would be as dangerous as hazard/schurrle+willian against carvajal+marcelo.

bayern were outplayed by arsenal on the night. but people dont take that individual performance cos it was an individual performance. nothing else close to that comes to mind RM on the other hand have got 1 point in possible 12 against their title challengers, getting outplayed against ATM in both the matches, and at camp nou. RM were lucky against juve RM lost to sevilla 2-1 away and won 6-3 at bernabau they were lucky to get away with a 1-1 against bilbao. the 3-0 scoreline flattered RM no ends as it could very well have ended 3-3 and they could have lost 5-0 at least at bvb. hence, they have struggled against almost every good team they have played this season. RM's defensive frailities are not a one-match isolated problem. they are poor defensively, people are exaggerating nothing here. anyone who watches them would vouch for that. hell, even RM fans DO say that.

ATM outplayed RM in both the league matches. the 3-0 and 2-0 wins of RM over ATM were in a copa del ray 2 legged affair where ATM played with less than half their proper team, especially in the 2nd leg.
