Champions League Thread (the dawn of time - 2014)

[vaibhav mehta]

I know all odds are against Arsenal and it is technically impossible for them to pull out anything but I am getting this inside feeling that Walcott and Bendtner have something special for tonight. It is just that insane feeling that Arsenal has to win today. To win the Champions League you have to beat the best teams but without players like Gallas, Fabregas and Arshavin, it is just too much to ask. Still we are going to see big upset tonight.

Is Messi a human being??? I doubt it because he just demolished Arsenal on his own scoring 4 goals. Are Barca the same without Messi??

Nope. Simple question, simple answer. Arsenal should've crocked him in the first leg...

And how did Lionel Messi alone prove you wrong!! He was truly insane in play tonight!!

Reckon Inter can upset Barca in the semi-final to be honest. Just have to study what United did to Barca in the 07/08 CL semi-final.

Oh come on, it just Messi outplayed Arsenal. I was right about start. Bendtner nearly did the job for Arsenal. But then Messi is one of the best Player of this generation and He is capable of doing this to any team. It just his day.
Anyway credit to this young Arsenal team. They have played whole season without Robin Van Persie and they are still in title race. We have seen that what Torres absent has done to Liverpool. And are Man U the same without Rooney?? Had he been injured like persie for 12 months, Man u would have not dominated in same way like they are now.
Season over for Arsenal now.

Believe me or not but I was thinking same yesterday night.

You weren't right, you said Arsenal were going to win.

Ya I say too many things. I was expecting Walcott and Bendtner to pull that off and they did play part in first goal. It was just one man who turned the game around on his own, great Messi. If you had take him out of the game then Arsenal could have easily won.

I wonder if Lionel Messi would be such a good player without those growth hormone pills...

I begin to wonder what the mods are thinking, blake and jakester back!
On Topic: Glad SSN show the goals, Messi ran riot over Arsenal, eagerly awaiting ?l Clasico on Saturday night, but the big one tonight! Manchester United v Bayern, Berbatov needs to step up tonight and show his money's worth.

That wasn't related to my last quote, was it? It's fairly commonly known that Messi took growth hormone pills.

Yes. Mourinho will set his team up to play a spoiling game - Arsenal just don't know how to do that - all they can play is pretty football and I bet Barca are the same. Work hard, get in amongst their players, let them know you're there and they won't find it anywhere near as easy.

As for tonight, I'm backing us to turn this tie around. An early goal will win us the game, but if Bayern can get a foothold, it'll be a tough night. And I hope Rooney isn't on the bench - when he comes back, we want him back 100%. Bring him back for the Blackburn game.

Well, he wouldn't be the first Argie to pop a few pills...

Yeps. Any other striker playing and Arsenal would've had a great chance, but they would've had to take their chances and they were very wasteful last night.

They destroyed Inter in the group stages without Messi or Ibra.

It was 2-0 but could have been 6 or 7.

Inter have improved a great deal since then though.

This is usually the typical attitude of person trying to cloud performances of a great sportsman! Ok tell me is Messi the only person, the only sportsman you heard "rumors" of taking pills? I recall a great bowler named Shane Warne, wasn't that same "rumor" associated with other football players even playing in the BPL/EPL? Was Messi suspended or charged or banned? You seems so certain of yourself making false and unfounded statements, its a pity one of his Agents would pay little attention to this site otherwise someone would have to answer for the accusations being allowed here against Lionel Messi!! Since you seems to know so much, I do hope you are aware on Cyber Crimes and Cyber Laws and the fact that it is against the law to make accusations that you cannot substantiate!!!
And I do agree that the Mods should step in and delete your post!!
