Well Mr Hoddle just echoed everything I have been saying.

"They have to find another way of playing".

I thank you.

Coming from a man who achieved what exactly as a manager in comparison to this Barca side?

A team who have won an incredible 13, yes 13 trophies in the last few years. I think the way they play is pretty dam decent in all honesty.
 
Well I think the yellows should be reset when it gets to the semis so that no player can be suspended for the final, unless it's a red.

I disagree. It would take away the incentive not to time waste, dive, play ugly, etc. in the quarters - and semi final for that matter. The rules are the same for every team, so I think it's fair. But that's my opinion!
 
You absolutely have to give credit to Chelsea for being able to get the right result in the end. But the first leg and this one could have quite easily have been landslide victories for Barca.

People call Barca boring. But if they would actually prefer to see a team sit in their own box for the entire 180 mins then I clearly don't understand this game.

Not saying that, Diego. We are pointing out that Barca constantly tried just one way of getting through, despite thye number of times the Chelsea defence stopped them in their tracks.
 
Barcelona should sign Llorente.
But fair play to Chelski as they played very good and considering there defence; It was remarkable.

Barca forum is down :lol:
 
Messi bottled it over the two legs. Had great chances in both ties and royally fudged it up, and you can see at the end he knew it. How Chelsea got through that semi I'll never know. It was football versus anti-football for 180 minutes.


At times like this I like to see if there is any upside for us...hmmm don't think there's any. Chelsea ****s.

I know what you mean mate. I do agree. But over the course of the 2 legs, I can't say there was anything particularly wrong with it considering the chances they missed.

For instance, would you say we should have changed our tactics v Chelsea at the Bridge this year when we should have definitely won considering the chances we wasted? I would say the players really should have made the most of those chances that we created.

I disagree. But I dont think we will be in that position to worry about it eh.

I do think it was one of the best team performance i have seen. Pains me to admit it. ****S.

I reckon I'd rather take Hoddles word than some bloody mod on Glory-glory ;):lol:
 
Grrr will people stop saying fair play to Chelsea, bunch of fudging ****s, cheating tacos, the club shouldn't even be in existence any more. Kids, hard work and playing by the rules gets you nowhere, just throw money at everything and cheat and you'll be successful. fudge, if it wasn't for Spurs I would not bother with football at all, fudged up sport.

Diego I think we did I also think we do mix up our play. We hit long balls, we hit short balls. We play on the wings and we play through. We just lack the quality that Barca have.

I guess this means one thing.

Harry for Barca

i thought they mixed it up at times....they dont just tippy tap it and play thru the middle, they also get the ball wide and put plenty of crosses in, both on the ground and in the air.

True

Hard to believe the best player in the world can't score against the cheats either - maybe Les and Tim gave him some coaching









I thought Jeff Stelling understood getting locked in a ground after the final whistle? What a jingoistic tw.at
