Topic: 2012/13 UEFA Champions League Final - Bayern München 2-1 Borussia Dortmund

[elpistolero7]

hi

-- sorry i don't mean to pick on you, just the thread loaded on that!

Hahahahahahahah. No issues mate. Gobsmacked by that game. Pep really was something after all, poor tactics from Barca tonight...nothing changed after the break, and Messi clearly wasn't fit. And Sanchez is a waste of space, why did Villa not come on earlier. And Bartra just 

[TSC]

Damn you Germany. With your talented players. Low ticket prices. And prudent financial governance. Ruining football for the rest of us.

Never really seen a good argument as to how German teams can compete for the best players yet charge fairly low prices in to games for the fans.  Some mention they pull in a lot commercially to make up for the lack of gate money in comparison to English gate money but I fail to see how the likes of Munich and Dortmund would be way ahead of UTD and Liverpool for example around the globe in commercial income generation.

The 2 pique ones

"Clear" penalties? Really?

[B0151?]

Bayern deserved the 4-0 completely. Barca were outplayed. Bayern are the better team this year it's OK fellas.

It's impossible to win a CL without a little bit of luck along your way though. We should know that better than anyone. Doesn't mean you deserve it any less.

And yes Bayern have this one in the bag

[MBL?]

[loozy]

loozy where did your mojo go ? 

Hopefully it went to Xabi so that he can tear those Dortmund-players a new one... 

Boy... That was the most depressing match I've ever seen...

[Red_Rich]

Also ... gotta love how Barca's cycle of greatness now seems to have started and (maybe) ended with the inclusion of two finals against the Mancs. Haha.,  Perfect timing.

[Buck Pete]

Well we know who the next Barca manager will be.....Adrian fucking Childs.

Saying that even that knob would have got Villa on sooner for Sanchez who was frankly dog shit.

Messi obviously not fully fit which doesn't help.

[timbucktoo]

Could Brendan please copy Bayern's style instead please.

[JohnHobbes]

100% a red.

I don't see how, it wasn't violent or dangerous but simply just stupid and petulant. Booking for sure but never a dismissal.

[G8S7]

It looks like Barca traveled all the way to Munich four-nothing. 

[Camarero25]

So. Fucking. What.

It's fucking amazing how unsatisfied some on here prove to be.

All Prem teams OUT including the Mancs and STILL moaning about who's left in it and what they're doing.

Just be happy that a non-English side is gonna lift ol' big ears.

Please.

This.

One of the best European performances I've ever seen and people are moaning about them getting praised.

They've just smashed Barcelona four fucking nil.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

"Clear" penalties? Really?

I was just answering your question. One of them was a penalty. Not sure about the first one

[Phil M]

Looking forward to seeing Bayern in the final, think this is the year they finally step up to the mark and go all the way after some near misses.

Brilliant performance.

Barca were hampered by some inexperience at the back, Messi clearly was not himself but saying that Schweinsteiger was brilliant as ever robbing him and denying space.

Huge task for Barca to even make a game of it at Camp Nou but if anyone can make it interesting it's Messi I suppose.

[KERRYKOP]

A good way to hunt people out of the stadium. Play really shit music.

[mista]

Brilliant performance from bayern - much better footy to watch than tiki taka

[Billy The Kid]

Barca could easily win the 2nd leg 16-4 though

[Popcorn]

That was unreal. Completely bossed them.

[Tom_B]

This.

They've just smashed Barcelona four fucking nil.

It's not that for me mate, I like Bayern and the way they play, have done for the last couple of years.

I like Barca too, but it is nice to see different teams winning the thing.

For me some of it is just too over the top from one game. And I also think it's ridiculous to overlook that two goals shouldn't have stood.

[loozy]

Could Brendan please copy Bayern's style instead please.

A thread needs to be opened!

[amir87]

I was going to put 'in Europe' in that sentence but thought it might be obvious.

Fulham or Real Madrid same thing really. Both wear white and shit...

[PhiLFC#1]

Bayern Real could be an interesting final to be honest, 2 teams that have been dying to win it for years and are long overdue. Having said that it would be great to see a German final too

[Coolie High]

This.

A lot of people on here have a soft spot for Barca and everything to do with Spain.

[CHOPPER]

A thread needs to be opened!

And then immediately locked!

[Hoenheim]

Hopefully it went to Xabi so that he can tear those Dortmund-players a new one... 

Boy... That was the most depressing match I've ever seen...

Nooooo don't say that, as much as I love Xabi I'd rather see Dortmund in the final.

[justsean]

Only Bayern generate enough money to be able to buy and hold on to the best players.

Dortmund keep losing theirs and this is part of the reason. Lewandowski and Reus will be gone within one or two years for more lucrative contracts either in Bayern or England/Spain.

[Tom_B]

I was just answering your question. One of them was a penalty. Not sure about the first one

Fair enough. Yeah, I would say potentially they should have had one penalty, but it wasn't cut and dry like a body-check and an offside goal.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Oh for fucks sake

I've just remembered we're going to have to put up with xxavi going on about how barca were robbed and how the refs and everyone is against them

[timbucktoo]

And then immediately locked!

 

[loozy]

Nooooo don't say that, as much as I love Xabi I'd rather see Dortmund in the final.

Nope. Because the fucking wankfest in Germany would be unbearable  Luckily, though, I think the final is during school break so I might emigrate to Galway for the week and the week after ...

[Mashy-rawr!nooo]

Oh for fucks sake

I've just remembered we're going to have to put up with xxavi going on about how barca were robbed and how the refs and everyone is against them

Yeah I'm waiting for Xxavi like the Suarez is charged thread is waiting for Uruguayan36

[loozy]

And then immediately locked!

And then another one should be opened! 

[Earl of Dingleberry]

Hopefully it went to Xabi so that he can tear those Dortmund-players a new one... 

You know that there's Xabi doll you can buy?

[loozy]

Oh for fucks sake

I've just remembered we're going to have to put up with xxavi going on about how barca were robbed and how the refs and everyone is against them

Xxavi = Xavi? 

[Buck Pete]

Nice one Robben, That's how you give an interview to stupid UK broadcasters.

Tell them basically to shut the fuck up and stop looking for negatives.

Well said.

[sinnermichael]

haven;t seen such a dominant performance since liverpool 4 real madrid 0 (sigh)

[Durlmints]

Damn you Germany. With your talented players. Low ticket prices. And prudent financial governance. Ruining football for the rest of us.

And their fantastic stadiums and atmospheres.

[Phil M]

A good way to hunt people out of the stadium. Play really shit music.

It's Germany they love that shit.

[loozy]

You know that there's Xabi doll you can buy?

You're getting kind of scary with your dolls here... Don't you want to open a thread about all the dolls you seem to have collected?

[Hoenheim]

Nope. Because the fucking wankfest in Germany would be unbearable  Luckily, though, I think the final is during school break so I might emigrate to Galway for the week and the week after ...

There is an easier way, join a nomadic tribe in Africa for a couple of years then come back. Wankfest free guaranteed
