Revenge Time

[Justin_3d 1,140]

IF Iniesta had not scored that goal, you wouldn't have sat down and said that. Just so happened that it was decided by a fine margin.

True, but even then we always see that type of action in the PL when "small" teams decide to defend deep against United and get murdered at the end.

Hiddink display a small minded mentality with that change.

But remember, Barcelona did not even have any real chance whatsoever to score. It only took a special goal for them to get through. Even if Drogba was still playing, we'll still be defending and waiting to pounce on the counter. Also, putting that f***ing Ovrebo crap aside, lets not forget that we had plenty of 1-on-1 chances on the counter that night but failed to convert any of them!

Even when we beat them 4-2 they got a dodgy arsed penalty. That match was epic, the video was done very nicely btw.

Cech - Valdes

Terry - Puyol

Lampard - Xavi

Plus Ferreira. Drogba, and Iniesta still there from that epic.

Barcelona...go home.

It is NOT a small team mentality. Jose's Inter Milan defended for 90 minutes in the second leg. These are called Tactics as away goals/goals count and can knock any team out even after drawing. In the league, where you play 38 games, parking the bus isnt really a tactic. Yes, if they do it in a knock out tournament, where they decide to defend and play on counter, then I would appreciate it. But not in the league.

I can never also forgive that sub where Hiddink took Drogba out for Belleti....

They where down 1 men, and knowing one goal will eliminate us and he decides to go all defensive....

Hiddink is one of my all time fav. managers, but he royally fucked up there!

I've noticed the opposition tend to get encouraged whenever Drogba is subbed, whether he's playing well or not...

[Blue Armour 4,436]

Revenge breeds Fire. If you want to beat the "worlds best team ever"....you need every bit of it.

But shouldn't there a be a reason for revenge? If you listen to JT, even he says he's almost forgotten about that match..

The good thing though there seems to be a lot more people hoping Chelsea can succeed this time around, even if they don't expect it.

I think this time we won't hear any nonsense about "a victory for football" or similar bullshit.

Nobody givin a damn about the FA Cup semis here at TC - haha

Editing videos is a hobby of mine and I must say that video was Magnificently edited!

[capriccioso 2,545]

I don't see why this match should be seen as an opportunity for revenge....A few refereeing decisions cost us the match in 2009, not Barca. They just did their job, and did it well considering they were reduced to ten men.

I think most of the Barcahate stems from their annoying superior attitude and then that exacerbated it. The post match media coverage was all about 'victory for football' and all that wank and we know that isn't true, we are the true saviours of football, not them.

In short, I'd say that most hate them because:

1. Glory hunting fans, and even normal fans of the club are cunts.

2. Holier than thou attitude

3. Saviours of football attitude

4. Hypocrisy

5. The media wanking over Barcelona all the time

6. Comparisons between Messi and Pele and Maradona (probably a personal one, I don't think many other than me would cite this as a reason)

7. Ovrebo

8. They seem to be the darling of the establishment

9. They can get away with 'financial doping' via their TV rights deals but no one else other than Madrid can.

10. Acting like they are some kind of martyrs because Franco gave them a rough time in the 50s. Get the fuck over it, he was never a Madrid supporter, he just hated Catalan separatism- for which Barcelona was a front for.

11. The disgraceful, diving, cheating cunts that play for them.

12. The way said cunts act whenever someone dares to not roll over and let them win 12-0, complaining to the media that defending is anti-football. How the fuck does an essential part of football, defending, pervert the sport?

13. The Fabregas affair.

14. Inserting buy-back clauses into every young player's transfer out of the club.

Isn't that just a tacit admission that we're not good enough to neuter them tactically or technically, having to rely on psychological motivators like vengeance to stand a chance? In any case, all this revenge talk is misplaced, it's the ref who screwed us over, not Barcelona. Cold meticulous preparation, top notch collective concentration and sheer bloodymindedness can also get the job done against Barcelona, but maybe that's just me.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Cut the high and mighty shit, we have NO score to settle with Barca? You must be mad.

Come back when you have a valid argument.

[Kezza 1,965]

I'm just hoping for a fair game. Not a ref on barca side or a red on our side.

But I really hope we beat them so the fans can shove their attitudes up their arse where their head is.

[capriccioso 2,545]

We have no rivalry with anyone outside London. Hating someone does not make you their rival.
