Today's football.

[malfosse]

Arsenal v Bayern game is on Sky 1 for those like me without sky sports.

Thanks mate.

Anyone but Barca for me, I know they are excellent but they have this snotty arrogance in my view.

Well I'm a huge fan, but I think part of the reason people think this is because of internet warriors who are not even from here and come across as the most arrogant fans in the world. An example being one of the regular posters in the Deulofeu thread. (not saying thats why you in particular feel like that)

The vast majority of the fans here are like any other fans. Love football and a bit of banter, and don't go in so much for the our way is best mentality.

I think the whole arrogant image thing just snowballed and has stuck unfortunately.

It kind of annoys me that this, and the english medias way of representing the club at times, can take away from the memory of what for me, in Peps first three years, was the best team I have ever seen play the game.

Its almost like the first leg of our FA CUP QF it could affect the outcome so much...

Barcelona last night: I wasn't impressed, tbh. Messi was the difference on the night (but only because of his movement for that pen
/first goal, otherwise he was kept quiet).

Fabregas was a bit surly post match about the result shutting critics up, but they were ropey. First half they had a lot of possession but nothing to write home about where it mattered in the final third, where City's defence played them very well. After they got the goal and one man advantage I thught City at least looked as dangerous as them.

Very unconvincing. I cant imagine them troubling the final this year.

 

[quasi modo]

yeah tend to agree but hoping Arsenal have something to play for as we play them in the fa cup before the second leg I believe

Know what your sayng, hopefully it will be a close affair tonight and then they rest some of the first 11 the weekend of the cup game.

What really sticks in my throat is them embracing Qatari coin.

Neuer - Dante, Thiago, Martínez, Mandzukić, Robben, Boateng, Götze, Lahm (C), Alaba, Kroos

Neuer

Boateng Dante Martinez Alaba

Lahm

Robben Kroos Thiago Götze

Mandzukić

Something like that anyway.

 

[Fuleco]

Javi Martinez is pure sex.

 

[rascal]

Wonder if Lahm will actually be at WB with Boateng CB and Martinez DM.

 

[rascal]

Javi Martinez is pure sex.

He would have been Franco's ideal Spaniard - from what I read in 'La Roja' Franco was a big fan of the basque physique.

 

[quasi modo]

Some team that, Lahm has been playing the holding midfielder role all season I think, bit of a shame really as he is brilliant at full back.

No Schweinsteiger, Ribery or Muller as well.

On sky 1, for those that missed it.

 

[rascal]

Sanogo in Giroud out.

Is this because of Giroud's extracurricular activities?

Listening on 5Live. Apparently a music award show takes precedence?
