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.

what was the result?

what unsportmanship have we shown here. courtois is a CHELSEA player. he was simply LOANED out. the contract would have been signed in the complete knowledge of ATM, courtois and chelsea. we dint hold a gun to their forehead and make them sign it. if everton was fighting for the title and hypothetically it all came down to everton vs chelsea on the final day of PL. would u say its un sportman to not let lukaku play the game? football is as much a business as it is a sport. we do business to get the best deals on players we deem the best suited for us. and then we come down to the field.

dont lessen the transfer fee. just tell them to take torres off us. PLEASE.

ifs and buts... really. hindsight can be such an awesome thing. dint really see u questioning me after the 1st leg. by the way, had not i said, clinicality to be one of the reasons why i dint want psg to play us? and that is what did happen in the first leg. they cashed in on our mistakes. one night? so 2-2, 1-0 against ATM (outplayed), 3-4. 2-1 against barca, 2-1 sevilla, the juve games. even the 3-0 win against bvb flattered them no end. the match could very well have ended 3-3. the 2nd leg should have been a 5-0 drubbing. weird that for a team having CR, bale, maria, modric, alonso, u have so many off nights. the fact that they have 1 point off 12 against their title challengers should be proof enough. again, if we get RM, they will be favourites, not denying that, but they are no where near as good as people (or rather just you), hype them to be. tactically they are no where near as sound as jose's RM.

Love him but not needed. This window should be ALL about solving striker problems and buyinh shaw.

Th best we can do is win our match and pray for city to lose or atleast draw. #HOPE.

spreading rumors out of nothing about what jose said is making mountain out of molehill. Don't like tea. More of a coffee guy. 25 hours to go

Congratulations. Totally deserved it.

You said it would have an effect on the match. I said it won't. Not even close.

Dude. I dint even bring it up. I don't even think that's ANY factor. U did... not me.In 25 hours we ll know we face and hence can argue about that team. But as of this moment, I would take rm over fcb and atm.

U brought it up and now want it to be left alone!!!!Fire power upront but defensively the worst of the 4 remaining teams

defensively weaker full baks (carvajal-Marcelo vs lahm-alaba). Definitely weaker defensively as a team. Wingers who don't track back (cr and bale. And the RM bale is different than the spurs bale, the tracking back is minimal) One dimensional attacks. Jose's know how of the players' strength and weaknesses
