Football (Soccer)

Teams I don't support at all are Dortmund and Barca. I'll be happy if any other team wins the trophy except these two. Seems like Pellegrini will be sacked for sure btw.

I like Barca, I've been to the Nou Camp a few times and you really get a sense that it is a proper football club, I'm no Man Utd fan but you get the same feeling at Old Trafford. So many clubs and stadiums these days are sterile money making ventures that when you visit a proper football stadium you cannot help but be impressed.

The reason I fell in love with Newcastle is that when I was a kid and first went to St James Park it really had that feeling of being a real club, a part of the city and the community. Now however it is the absolute epitome of a football company run to make money first and play football second.

Nowadays almost everything is about to make money first and then anything else (if anything else at all).

I remember Newcastle Utd. has a huge amount of French players, how come?

[Megatron1505]

Because they're cheap, and so is our owner.

PSG - Barca
Atletico - Real
Porto - Bayern
Juve - Monaco

Meh, PSG face Barca all the time and it's always boring when two teams from the same league go at it. Not super content with the quarter finals haha..

[Dion]

Damn, Atletico has the ability to kick Real's ass… I hope not this time. Bayern can easily plan the next round, I wish P$G good luck to kick Barca out. Juve or Monaco? May the best one win...

[Dion]

Anybody watching Barca-Real today?

[Peter]

Yes!

[Megatron1505]

Yup

[Dion]

Just watched the highlights Liv.-ManU, what a match. What's up with Stevie G? He seems fed up. I remember his mistake against ManC that cost LFC the title last year…

Anyway, I hope Real wins today.

[Peter]

Great game so far.

[louisbosco]

stevie G is an amazing and loyal player no doubt. but he needs to control his emotions. however, considering his love for the club, given if that was me, it would probably happen that way. sometimes, it just gets into your head.

that being said, united twice over liverpool this season. i'm a happy man.

[Dion]

FC Bayern is visiting Dortmund on Saturday, I hope the Red Army will win.

[Dion]

Nobody watching this? It's the (self-proclaimed) most attractive football-league in Europe ;).

[Winchy]

What was the result? Was it a decent game?

Boring match, Bayern won 1:0 in Dortmund. Ironically former BVB-mate Lewandowski scored the only goal.

[louisbosco]

the city of manchester is RED!!

[Dion]

Excellent match, Manolo Pellegrini is going to be sacked for sure but when?

[Peter]

I'm pretty narrow-minded when it comes to football, and fuck, I hate United so much haha. Good game though, don't "have" a team in PL.
