Today's football.

I seem to remember the Bilbao fans in the Europa league last season being utterly awesome.

They're not really Spanish though.

They're not really Spanish though.

Ha. Fair point.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

They're not really Spanish though.

Good point actually!

TBF Barcelona and Real fans are much worse for that than anyone else in that league.

I dislike both teams, but even Real fans can applaud the opposition. I seem to remember a game when they got hammered by Barcelona and gave Ronaldinho an ovation. You'd never see this behaviour from Barcelona fans. Catalonia has an inferiority complex.

'You're allowed to be a critical of Vilanova with the illness he's had...'

WTAF Southgate you meff?

Guardiola bears part of the blame for that defeat tbh - the signing of Fabregas made no sense at the time, has made no sense since, blocked the progression of the likes of Thiago, and wasted money that they could have spent on players that they actually needed - Varane, for instance.

Now his new club are going to repeat the mistake by buying Gotze.

Bringing Fabregas in was just a giant PR move at the end of the day to appease the fan base

Oh please. You'd be upset seeing Chelsea lose to Southampton?

Yes, and I was when it happened this season. It's a psychological thing I've had since childhood.

Yeah mate I think they hate the Spanish more than you actually.

 

[ijjysmith]

Oh please. You'd be upset seeing Chelsea lose to Southampton?

YES I BLOODY WOULD

Arsenal beat this Bayern team 2-0

And the big difference as it has been a few times they've been without him, Schweinsteiger's absence.

There 4 up, is that enough to leave him out of the 2nd leg? Playing in midfield against them at their place, your almost nailed on for a yellow, which would rule him out of the final.

Hope this years final isn't ruined by stupid suspensions, a fair few missed last years final through them.

Ok mate good thing you're not a Cardiff fan is all I can say.

 

[Brownie]

Barca didn't have a shot? Lol.

 

[TippEverton]

Barca didn't have a shot? Lol.

Bartra tried one.

 

[Brownie]

Bartra tried one.

That was a little chipped through ball I think mate.

 

[Azzurri]

That was a little chipped through ball I think mate.

The one which went into row Z from 6 yards out?
