[EU] Champions League 2008/2009 (4 Viewers)

The awful reffing in the first leg is excuse enough, Ballack shouldn't have stayed on the ptich for 90mins, just saying

Just like Puyol shouldn't have been there. He made a clear yellow card foul (which should have been a second yellow) and he did it BEFORE Ballack made that foul.
But the ref called offside and the offside happened AFTER Puyol made the foul.

If someone can complain at the refereeing it's Chelsea. They were the ones who should have had a man advantage first.

And when did Ballack's foul happen? Minute 85 or so?

Barcelona couldn't do shit and they started diving, looking for penalties.

There was deffo one earlier on that was a bookable (about 20mins) and then he concede a freekcik near the box.

Puyol should have been sent off too, however, the ref. had that diving mentality in his head (because the spanish teams DO dive,alot).
If you dont get the ball and you make contact its a foul, both sides should have had a fair few bookins

Looks like Henry won't make it. He's injured.
Henry, Puyol, Marquez....this complicates things for Barca.

Will this be the excuse after Chelsea humiliates them on Wednesday?

Loosing Puyol will just be good for'em. He is so overrated. But loosing Henry will be a big blow.

 

[Henry]

losing Henry is bad, but having no central defence is worse

Yeah, it's great for Barca that they only have one fit CB.

Losing Henry is a big blow. Mostly because now Keita has to play. It's not an excuse because a team like Barca should have enough depth to deal with a couple of injuries, but theres no denying their chances decrease now.

Wrong way round.

Edit: Bendtner rule of course.

[bianconero]

Wrong way round.

Arsenal the to 1
Man U the to 4

 

[Red]

Rooney to get booked and miss the final.

You're saying that you predict we will go through???

If I remember, Manchester hasn't won away to Arsenal for the last 6 or 7 games no?

Its been a long time. The last time they beat us at home was 2004-2005 i believe, when they beat us 4-2 at Highbury.

 

[JCK]

Does anyone really want to hear my prediction?

 

[Alen]

You're saying that you predict we will go through???
