Robben is still a massive c*nt eh, and Alba out for the second leg, he's lost it as well.

[Father Ted]

Hahaha. Stupid but funny from Alba.

[smicer07]

Robben is such a fanny

[steveeastend]

Bayerns gameplan worked, I am suprised Barca let them have their way and didn´t show up for a fight.

But overall they were fucked by the refs and their own arrogance.

[Chakan]

I thought that as well, but I found a statemtent by Fifa and Uefa (it's 4 years old when they introduced the extra-refs in the Europa League) in which it says "the additional assistant referees will provide two extra pairs of eyes to monitor the game and ensure that the Laws of the Game are upheld, informing the referee of incidents of any kind that he may otherwise have missed, particularly in key areas of the field like the penalty area and its surroundings. The referee will remain in sole charge of the match and the only match official with decision-making powers.". To me that sounds like they can indicate fouls in the penalty area, if the ref hasn't seen it...

Never seen any official standing behind the goal line do anything other than indicate when the ball has crossed the line. Never flagged for offside, never referred the ref to a missed foul. Ever.

Barcelona sore losers 

What's new, if this was Nou Camp they would've turned the sprinklers on already!

[Tom_B]

Jordi Alba is a very, very lucky boy.

....but Bayern get all the decisions, of course.

are you seriously suggesting that was a red? Come on mate.

[Circa1892]

Albas such a little prick, if you're going to risk a potential red at least twat him.

[Alan_X]

Oh dear, the wankfest will be unbearable...

True whatever the result. Barca wankers or Bayern wankers.

[Geppvindh's]

Good, Abidal can play the second leg.

[Bird Bird Bird The Bird Is The Word]

Alba is a proper little shit, seems to like giving a bit of needle but that couldn't have happened to a bigger tart, Robben trumps Alba's nobbishness.

[JohnHobbes]

Another game though where the extra pair of officials from Platini are again proved to be an utter farce. How he missed that body check from just a few yards away is beyond belief.

the missed penalties,?

[Armchair expert]

Because they're lonely? You should know you're the armchair expert.

Hey I'll have you know I'm getting a 3 seated couch soon.

[tax_man]

Genuine question and this is from someone who is quite enjoying what Bayern are doing but, do Bayern have any songs? Heard one or too things that sound like the beginning of that "wooga chack wooga chacka" David Hasselhoff song but nothing else. You'd think it would be electric, they're stuffing Barcelona 4-0

[tommy LFC]

A goal now for Barca would make for an unreal second leg.

[Warks Moustache]

I wonder if Martinez will start being first choice for Spain. Really impressive work from him tonight.

[edge]

Can't believe I'm typing this, but: Messi has been shit today.

[Circa1892]

Result is fair, but ref has been very inconsistent with his punishments...

[Tom_B]

Can't believe I'm typing this, but: Messi has been shit today.

He's clearly injured though. HE shouldn't really be playing.

[Po The Panda]

Xavi is no longer the same player the decline has started, Bayern have the best midfield in the world.

[litliper]

What odds will Barca be to win the thing now. Might be, just might be worth putting 20 quid on. Who knows. Massive odds, great team

Thinking the same.

[whtwht]

So much quality.

[steveeastend]

I don´t know about Barca as I don´t have spanish tv. But I have to avoid german television for a couple of weeks now, that´s for sure.

[Warks Moustache]

If Jupp Heyckness wins the treble he really should retire and call it a day. It would be a great way to go out.

They wrote "Seven Nation Army" for Jack White!

They have a few, but most of them are fucking boring. The best chant is the one where one half of the stadium shouts "BAYERN" followed by the opposite half shouting "BAYERN"...

[Vizrahen]

was that Robben's first shot from outside the box today?

[Circa1892]

Definitley think Guardiola will be able to rival Mancini as one of the luckiest managers about.

Not saying he isn't good, but he effectively inherited most of his Barca team and he's inheriting this Bayern side, allright for some.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

I wonder if Martinez will start being first choice for Spain. Really impressive work from him tonight.

He's Alonso's replacement definitely

[thegoodfella]

There was a time not so long ago when we were beating teams 4-0 at home...

[whtwht]

Can't believe I'm typing this, but: Messi has been shit today.

Credit Bayern too or yet Javi Martinez

[Butter Keks]

Jordi Alba is a very, very lucky boy.

Very lucky how? It was a yellow card for being a petulant little prick.

[Titan]

4-0 FT. Incredible performance from Bayern.

In terms of fan tradition and culture they are a mixture of Chelsea and ManU, just without the tradition. Allianz Arena olé...

[edge]

He's clearly injured though. HE shouldn't really be playing.

Agreed. Stupid decision to start him, really.

Well deserved victory for Bayern, but tie was ruined by the refs.

[Raggy]

 Quote of the day from Tydlesley (89 minutes and 57 seconds Barcelona four nil down) "Barcelona look beaten"   

[JohnHobbes]

Never seen any official standing behind the goal line do anything other than indicate when the ball has crossed the line. Never flagged for offside, never referred the ref to a missed foul. Ever.

They probably have done some things but as they have a wand and not a flag then you won't see any visual clue that they have alerted the referee to something, like you would with an assistant referee.

Having said that, the amount of infringements that have happened right in front of them that weren't penalised suggests that they are not worth keeping.

Bayern are very well known for having shit atmosphere. Doesn't help that their ultras are in a "war" with the club and are refusing to support the team.

[Hoenheim]

In a few weeks you won't be able to walk 100m without seeing a wanker in a Bayern jersey, oh the wankfest..
