fucking red card

BARCAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

HAHAHAHA

Some Chelsea players there very gracious in defeat. I couldn't stop grinning seeing Dropba completely lose it after the match.

well ... how would you react? i bet you wouldn't just walk away, keeping your mouth shut.

Well.. yes, yes I would.

Yeah, surely you would.

Surely.

Maybe not.

Obv. you know him better than he knows himself. How silly of him to think otherwise.

obv. I do know him quite well :P

i ran into a random german last night, he had som weird red drink in a small bottle which he offered me. i thought he said dreissig (spelling?) at first, turns out it was achtzig... haha. man it still burns.

strohrum achtzig.

Nasty stuff.

beeecks!

lukrek is hungover and has passed out and we're only on our second day of drinking, what should i do?

"konterbier" is your best shot.

AS in drink a beer or "Alster" (beer + sprite) right after getting up. Really saves the day.

That or do sports that involve cool water, e.g. jogging in the rain, swimming, surfing etc.
Only do that if you're into sports though ;)

you can mix beer and sprite? o_O

unrelated question: why doesn't my esr login work in mozilla firefox?

yes, it's quite refreshing on a summer day. You know, when you want an unalcoholic drink ;)

firefox works fine here.

never really considered mixing beer with anything, heh. alcohol is the main ingridient in my summer survival kit. \o/

haha in sweden, the taxrate on alcohol is close to infinity.

I know the taxrate (we store lots before we sail there)

but yeah beer + sprite and beer + coca cola both wok fine.

When I was young (15-17) we drank oldbeer(overbrewed type)
with cola to stay both awake and drunk for a long time :)

Someone calculated that it's actually cheaper to travel to Germany and buy alcohol there, almost regardless of where in Sweden you live, as long as it's a reasonable amount of alcohol. Says it all really.

If you mix beer and soda, wouldn't that make you very full and thus unable to drink enough to get (or keep being) drunk? O_o

why of course. That's why you only drink 2 or 3.

It really is the best way to start drinking again, imo.

I prefer to start with something stronger, usually shotting strong liquor.

In the case of luKrek vs the day after, luKrek still refuses to like beer. :(

I said "start again" ;)

But yeah even in that case shots will work, but it takes more will to down the first one.

Anyway, nowadays for me it's usually a few beers at start or maybe wine or some not-so-sweet cocktail (cuba libre, caipi, long island ice tea) and then I look around what it there or start a drinking game :]

But in the ende I've always been the type to start comparably slow and drink longer instead.

Yeah I meant starting on the day after. The first day (so to speak) I actually prefer to down a beer or two before going into hyperdrive. :)
And in all honesty, I think each zip of the first beer takes more will than that only zip of the shot, given those premisses. :p

I love Long Islands, perhaps a tad too much. Back in the days when I'd hit the pubs in my old hometown (all of which are closed by now in favour of some really really retardedly bad places), me and my little brother would always end our nights downing one each of those in about 10-15 minutes. It was awesome.
Also: drinking games are infinite win with the right people.

I rarely drink to the point where I pass out before the party ends, guess that's something you learn how not to do with experience though. :p

also the funny part is, here the sprite is the expensive ingredient :P

I would walk away, keep my mouth shut

.... and set his car on fire

SCHIRI WIR WISSEN WO DEIN AUTO STEHT!!!

try supporting your local team before starting these retarded threads

LMAO@FULHAM

If we had one i would support it :(

Ballack hugging the referee was funny though.

haha yeah, I watched it in a packed bar, and everyone was laughing when they gave the slowmotion. LOL, he was so close pushing him down.

nice goal, too :)

both of them!

well perhaps chelsea should have gotten 2 of them 4 penalties. But fuck chelsea-mutd would've been a terrible final :) barca 4tw

also drogba is a fag

I wouldn't give a penalty either after the 20 dives Drogba, Malouda and Anelka managed to pull off everytime they got near the area.

Only the handball at the end was a penalty anyway.

actually, the first handball was way more obvious than that one. but yeah I agree, they get what they deserve, I hate all the diving & schwalbes these days. As soon as these fags feel something, they immediately go down. Yesterday there was always at least some contact, but nothing really worth a penalty.

I got them mixed up, I think the Touré one probably wasn't a penalty. It hit his armpit and he was turning away (Although stupid to have his arms in the air).

The Pique one, I'm not really sure about to be honest as it clearly hits his arm when it's sticking out but was it going to do anything anyway?

Wrong, just diving and excaggeration by chelsea playas.

Diving yes, but http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/...9821_n.jpg this is clearly a penalty. The referee can see it clearly, too.

When they showed that thing for some angles it looked like he got it on his chest though. I saw it in slow motion from from about 4 angles...on two of them it looked like it hit his chest.

Another less mentally unstable immigrant to worry about. Result!

well he's not your immigrant until he, you know, emigrates :)

omg, ini????????

oh, he was kenyan.

What?

You can't be that incompetant?

i heard about the story before, but i just heard about an arsenal fan. and when i hear arsenal fan, there's no africans i my mind.

but yeah, that was a pretty dumb one.

*uncompetent

His coming from Kenya has nothing to do with his mental state. Just thought I would point that out.

yea, they only mutilate their women and perform ritual killings, but other than that it's all good.

god you have no idea

oh I'm sorry, it's part of their culture. how racist of me.

I thought Chelsea would change after getting rid of Mourinho, but, tbh, even with Hiddink it's just more of the same. The most frustrating football team ever.

5 times in the final four of the competition and 0 wins is pretty lol, gotta be said.

there were 2 referee mistakes at the game last night.

1. Piquet's handball, clean penalty. nothing.

2. Red card, funny as hell, wasn't even close to the player. Sanctioned.

so all in all, was fair. and chelsea parked a trademark pussy bus in front of their goal. even with 11v10.



and drogba is an idiot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXt5l4FQef0

Ballack and Drogba should have been red carded for their behaviour and Lampard/Terry/Alex looked rather aggressive in their behaviour to the ref after the game too.

i don't know nothing about this faggot sport

but why don't they employ the use of replays? it can't be that hard surely?

The higher ups in UEFA and FIFA don't want replays.

Because drama is all the sport is about.

fu geek

looking forward to the LMAO@BARCA thread in 3 weeks time :P

me too :D

I was actually willing Barca to win 'cos I'm sure it's an easier matchup for Manu

Manu is also a much easier matchup for Barça than Chelsea ;)

Manutd-Barca is also a faaaar better final game than mutd-chelsea. So it's win-win-win!

Not true. Manu can be just as frustrating as chelsea; see last year's semi-final win. Barca play one way only and are underdogs with the bookmakers because of it (not that I'm a betting man ;)

For me, Barca are the spanish equivalent of Arsenal; good at keeping the ball, will wait until injury time of a 3 hour contest to score

Arsenal with Rosicky/Flamini/Fabregas/Hleb.

Not Arsenal with Diaby/Song/Walcott :)

Chelsea only scored earlier by chance, if that had gone over we wouldn't have seen anything more.

Chelsea are a one trick pony (Unless you count diving) just as much as Barca, foul-hoof-drogba.

If Barcelona have Henry fit, they stand a good chance of winning, if they don't it'll be tight and boring just like the Chelsea game.

chelsea too are one-dimensional, but they had more goal threat (and penalty appeals!) given that they were defending the whole time than (attack-all-match-and-get-one-shot-on-target-in-injury-time) Barca. The stats bear this out. Ball possession: 71:29 in favour of barca. shots on target: 1:4 in favour of chelsea. Barca are the spanish arse-nal. i hope midweek wasn't too painful for ya mr. gooner ;) (honestly!!)

I'm not emotionaly tied so I'm fine :P

If you think this year Barça has anything to do with past year Barça you're very mistaken. This Barça is better than the one with Ronaldinho in his best days. And if you think Barça is at the level of Arsenal... TBH, I can not imagine Arsenal doing anything against this Barça than loosing 6-0, as most of the teams at similar level than Arsenal did this year.
EDIT: ManU can't be as frustrating as Chelsea. They can put the pussy bus, they do many times, but Chelsea players are world top experts in that play style. That being said, I think ManU is favorite for the win, because Barça is missing 3 of their defense starters. But only because of that.

Yeah, like Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United?

Chelsea 1 - 2 Arsenal
Chelsea 2 - 1 Arsenal
Arsenal 2 - 1 Man Utd
Man Utd 1 - 0 Arsenal
Arsenal 1 - 3 Man Utd
Arsenal 1 - 1 Liverpool
Liverpool 4 - 4 Arsenal

Barcelona could barely muster a chance on goal against Chelsea in both legs and gave away numerous chances that Chelsea could and should have taken.

Liverpool annhilated R.Madrid even more convincingly than Barcelona did at the weekend and have done the same against Manchester Unite and Chelsea, yet they couldn't manage that against 10 man Arsenal, or unfit defence Arsenal.

Manchester United are the current European and World Champions and yet, they rode their luck a bit in scoring goals against Arsenal.

TBH, the more I see brits confidence the more I believe Barça will win this ;)

You're assuming I think Man Utd will win though.

The point I was making was you clearly haven't a clue about Arsenal.

TBH, I can not imagine Arsenal doing anything against this Barça than loosing 6-0, as most of the teams at similar level than Arsenal did this year.

I don't see them strong as the top premier teams. Yes, they did good results against the first teams in the Premier, but they aren't there fighting with them for the title. It's harder to make big differences against teams that play in your homecountry league cause all teams know each other too well. Arsenal is a wonderful team and I wish it was better than the other 3, but they aren't at the same level. I've seen a good bunch of games of Arsenal this year, and I stand to my opinion that they aren't a matchup for Barça.
EDIT: It's not that i think Arsenal is a weak team, I think you're missing info on this Barça, tbh. They've won more than half of the games they played by a 4 goals advantage or more, and receiving the less goals. Not only against Real (who yes, suck), but half of the games. They are breaking all records of la liga.

That's nice but the point being made isn't that Arsenal are on the same level as Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United but that they are far superior to the teams Barcelona beat 6-0.

Barcelona wouldn't average three goals a game in the Premiership because the Premier League would be too physical for them.

It's very likely Barcelona would beat Arsenal but it wouldn't be a 6 - 0 destruction, that's just totally naive and shows a lack of understanding of Arsenal.

Barcelona has beaten Valencia, Villareal, Sevilla, Bayern, Lyon and Real Madrid by those counts. Some of them twice. Are they at Arsenal level? Maybe not. But they aren't that far away. I'm sorry, but I don't agree with you with Arsenal being at the same level as the other three.

Bayern and Lyon aren't even top of their respective leagues this season and those leagues are far weaker than even Serie A.

Spanish teams are hardly known for their defence and the reason Barca have done so well is because they've up'ed the physical side of their game and improved their stamina. Nothing Arsenal can't handle, since that's how the Premier League works, albeit with better defending.

It's not like Barcelona have destroyed everything in their path, they've lost games and drawn games to rather mediocre teams (In fact, didn't they lose to the bottom placed team, a La Liga first?).

Possession against Chelsea is meaningless, Arsenal have controlled possession against them time and again and still lost/drawn.

Simple question: What did Arsenal win recently?

Simple question, when did Barcelona last win something?

Well done on owning up a weak La Liga season so well, but Barcelona aren't capable of beating down the Top Six (In fact potentially Tottenham and Manchester City too) Premier League teams 6-0.

Despite being miles better than anything in Spain this season Barcelona have still lost four games against poor opponents.

Barça won in the last 5 years 3 ligas and one champions. Just like Arsenal. And yes, they lost the two initial games of the season, and another two the rest of the year. Check MU and compare, won't be any better.

And, yes, Premiership is now flooded on money, whatever you want, but don't count the top european teams out, cause Milan, Madrid or Barça will still be buying players from teams like Arsenal, not the other way around.

EDIT: And it's you who's saying Arsenal is at the same level as Chelsea, ManU and Liverpool, not me. So if you think winning ligas is so useless, then compare the titles Arsenal won in, let's say the last 10 years, against any of the other three. And then repeat me again they are at the same level.

I didn't say they were at the same level, I said they weren't as bad as the teams in Spain losing 6-0. Believe what you want, but Barcelona wouldn't beat Arsenal 6-0.

I love it when people bring up the money argument because it's ridiculous. Barcelona and Real Madrid are and have been for decades the two biggest spenders in world football.

How much was it Barcelona spent last summer?

Arsenal are in a totally different situation having never been a rich club, and only recently having a big stadium but having to pay off the debt for a few years.

Oh, and let me laught about the weak defenses of the spanish league. That is probably why Liverpool had to hire a Spanish coach to build the first decent defensive system of the premiership.

Yeah, Liverpool brought defence to the Premiership and Spain is currently the masters of defence.

Which is Spanish teams are leaking goals left, right and centre against all sorts of teams.

If Liverpool brought defence to the Premier League, what were Arsenal doing when they went 49 games without being beaten, or when they had the longest run of CL games without letting in a goal (With a makeshift defence, no less).

Chelsea and Manchester United have both conceded less goals than Liverpool and they don't have any Spanish coaches or defenders.

expanding on ini's point, the best defence the premiership ever saw was when Vieira and Petit were shielding Winterburn, Keown, Adams and Dixon, with Seaman in goal

[+]

Closely followed by

Lehmann
Lauren - Touré/Keown - Campbell - Cole
Gilberto/Edu - Viera

!

You're funny guys. I remember at those days all spanish teams always wanted to confront the english teams cause they were so easy to score to. Specially Arsenal and Manchester U.. And now you come with that being the best defense. The defenders were good, but those defenses were crappy. They have good defensive systems now.

The second one, went 49 games without losing a game, then with some minor changes it got the record for clean sheets in a row in the CL (Against two Spanish teams no less, and it took losing the keeper and going ten men down for a team in the CL to score).

The problem with the Viera/Petit defence was the technical ability and age of the defenders, not the system.

What ini said, plus, I was wrong about the keown/adams days. They were actually the 2nd best defence the premiership had ever seen ;p

chelsea (under mourinho) conceded 15 league goals in 2004/5. That's an all time record low. Next best was the Arsenal team I mentioned with 17 conceded in 98/99 (the very year when manu beat barca on the way to winning CL, ye those days). Benitez's very best was 25 conceded in 2005/6, but overall he does concede a little fewer than wenger, but at the expense of the flair/speed/eye candy that arsenal demonstrate, so it's not really a trade any gunner would want. look what u make me do ;p dig up stats from old records

Actually Barca got several chances on goal, think five in the first leg and a couple in the second. Even though Chelsea played with 9 defenders in both games. Chelsea lost and football won in this match up.

No more chances or clear cut chances that Arsenal usually get, and they gave away about the same amount.

Was just saying he's clueless about Arsenal.

I disagree with everything apart form your last sentence. It's great that Barca scored 6 against RM, but they suck, and we knew this weeks ago when liverpool crushed them. You also underestimate a team that got to the semis; who Barca struggled against when the ref sent off Lehmann after just 10 mins. Fancy struggling against a "poor" team for virtually the whole night

Dear god football is a boring sport.

what should you suggest instead, Q3? :}}

Chess.

.

Its still competition.

You want to add ZTN to football too?

Absolutely.

no, just cooller

the best sport/game in the world

Barca scoring right at the death there & chelsea going ape-shit, you don't get drama like that anywhere else;)

I've seen better drama in Hannah Montana.

whatever floats your boat matey
