football: the beautiful game

[redgrail]

Relatively poor showing by Man U overall.

Porto did reasonably well.

Let's see if Man U can get themselves together and take it on the road. My guess is no. Shouldn't be much confidence left in their camp now.

Good game, few mistakes but they made for an entertaining afternoon. First two goals were tragic. After Evans passed back I thought there cant be a bigger idiot on the field. I was wrong.

[Guest umhaha84]

they should rip no.7 right off of Ronaldo's jersey.

[polishmike]

the pain i feel tonight you've never felt before

[readytoignite]

haha looks like ivanovic got some pre-match tips from tim cahill. it was like watching a slalom on the first goal

anyway, lighten up - at least you aren't bayern

[Guest umhaha84]

^thought Munich would put up a good fight but missing Lucio was obviously the greatest blow.

[Bona Drag]

barca is looking like a machine right now

[cyberPUNK]

...and liverpool is looking like a ford pinto.

...and liverpool is looking like a ford pinto.

4-1 ......

[cyberPUNK]

too bad liverpool can't beat a team with 11 people playing at once haha. middlesbrough anyone?

[readytoignite]

4-1 ......

do what we did with the scum last year.... m4n un1ted

but it's true they've already won more trophies than you will this year

"I've had a great week - reaching the milestone of one-o-nine and now one-o-10 tonight"

[cyberPUNK]

macheda the matchwinner strikes again!

[78]

fuckin hell... the boys in blue were living on the edge in the last half-hour there... shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit...

[cyberPUNK]

yeah i couldn't believe it when the goals where coming through while i was watching the united game. i was hoping for one more from bolton though, haha.

macheda the matchwinner strikes again!

Goal looked pretty good, I think he deserves more credit than was given.

But I can't tell if he actually directed the ball with the sidefoot, or just wicked deflection.

[cyberPUNK]

haha yeah, i'm still undecided whether or not it was luck. either way i'll take it, haha.

[polishmike]

get your pillows out folkzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

still pissed but what an awesome match

[x714n]

i had hopes when its 3-4 for liverpool..

[redgrail]

Just feel fortunate to have seen this match really. With Stevie G. out, I had my doubts coming in, but Pool showed what the team is made of.

Fireworks, just unbelievable - and the tenacity of Chelsea coming back after that first half. Mindblowing.

Proud to be a Red, proud of our supporters (we don't need no free flags handed out to be a force on the stands thank you very much). Gorgeous match.

This is what football is about gents, no shame in going out this way.

(and let's be frank, Chelsea are about to have their posh asses handed to them at Camp Nou, so that certainly helps soften the blow...)

[Magsåvningsreserven]

ridiculous match, but at least the tie changed the perceptions of the annual chelsea vs 'pool champs league match. Such a good match damn.

[cyberPUNK]

wow, what an amazing match. what's even more amazing is that 'pool managed four goals and none of them by torres...

[cJajce]

it was Risse last year, and now Reina this year. we always seem to concede own goals that bite us in the ass but it wasn't Reina's fault we didn't move on. Rafa...if last year's result didnt do it for you, hopefully this one does and realize that were still missing a piece. please get something done this off season and bring some talent in. I dont know why we dismissed David Silva but if we end up getting Eto'o that would be just as good. and please please when i say bring in more talent, im not talking about another Keane

[cyberPUNK]

oh well, let's hope united get the job done tomorrow. the only real game that matters

[Guest umhaha84]

Both goalie seemed pretty shaky. Cech made some good saves, but Reina was pretty much horrible throughout the game.

[cyberPUNK]

i'd say cech was worse if i had to choose. that first goal was a complete fuck up, not to mention the time he was caught on the edge of the box with an open goal. i feel liverpool shipped more goals simply because they had to be more offensive.

still you gotta admit Cech's save against Torres's header was probably most important save of the match

[polishmike]

i think cech was way worse out of the two. reina fucked up with the first goal but couldn't do much else. cech was caught out few times and the first goal was just a joke. i'm not sure if he's falling apart or he doesn't feel safe behind this defense.

[Becks23]

Man I feel for Cech, yes he was made foolish for cheating but that is honestly a 1 in 100 goal. I'm still an advocate for the man at the wall not jumping cause I think it's pretty useless. Regardless Cech looked pretty bad all game.

The highlights for the game were so long, I watched like a 23 min clip haha.

[Tisswat]

A Dutch reporter asked Hiddink what Benitez said when they shook hands after the match. He responded that Benitez said that they won only because the ref was biased. Always a poor loser concept?

Anyway, can't wait for Chelsea - Barcelona. I'd put my money on the Spanish side, but then again Hiddink never fails to surprise.
