Man city or Chelsea this afternoon?

12/12/2011 1:16:01 PM

hopefully City

Liverpool will be competing with Chelsea for CL, and not City for the title so any loss they get is good news to me.

"no team acts like bitches like Barcelona do. I haven't seen any of the madrid players do any of the rolling around on the ground faking injury. They may occasionally go down after questionable contact to try and win a freekick but if they don't get it that's the end of it. Shrug your shoulders and move on."

TRANSLATION: The team I pull for dives too, but I like them so it isn't as bad!!!!11

Barcelona being bitchy has definitely happened before but I didn't even think it was all that bad on Saturday, outside of Sanchez a few times

12/12/2011 1:20:56 PM

players on every team dive, but not every team has people like Busquets and Alves.

i used to be indifferent to Barca and sometimes enjoy watching them during the Ronaldinho years. i don't remember them being as cheap then.

you can't deny that Barcelona get away with things that other teams don't.

and Ribs, what's with all the mad? you've had 24 hours now to get over losing to Stoke.

[Edited on December 12, 2011 at 1:34 PM. Reason : i pull for Madrid in the clasicos but i don't call myself a Madrid fan]

12/12/2011 1:32:19 PM

Not mad at all...

I was just reading back through the last couple pages since to catch up since I wasn't around when the match was happening and I kept getting this broken record feel about diving that comes up whenever Barca plays either Man U or Real... then I realized who was posting about it.

[Edited on December 12, 2011 at 1:40 PM. Reason : FTR, my team lost and you don't see me whining about officiating or handballs or diving]

12/12/2011 1:38:04 PM

you just did say something about the officiating. but there isn't any need b/c it was pretty well summed up in the other thread that the ref botched some important calls.

12/12/2011 1:45:22 PM

Ribs in here mad as shit


Barca is a team full of fuckstains brah, get over it

because that's the only time people watch Barca - they dive against Valencia, Getafe, Sevilla, and everyone else, but no one watches those games because it's like watching UNC play the Eastern North Carolina School for the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind in basketball.

This Danilo Free Kick from the Club World Cup was sick as shit.

12/15/2011 2:11:00 PM

To be fair though, even I could get it up and down over a Japanese wall

12/15/2011 2:22:39 PM

Did you not watch the whole thing? He didn't go up and down, he went around the wall.

12/15/2011 2:34:37 PM

Villa out 4-5 months with a broken leg. Poor, poor Barcelona.

12/15/2011 2:51:48 PM

Santos/Barca final should be fine viewing

12/15/2011 3:10:01 PM

12/16/2011 7:56:30 AM

United should just buy Christian Eriksen. Make things easier...

[Edited on December 16, 2011 at 8:49 AM. Reason : Who did Spurs draw ----- insert mad after this post]

12/16/2011 8:48:09 AM

I couldn't be more serious when I say 'Arry never made the Europa league a priority from day 1 and we have had our eyes on a top 4 finish in the league.

Go back and look at the group stage games, we're resting 8 of our first XI every time.

Y'all have fun in the NIT

Fuck yeah Napoli.

12/16/2011 1:00:24 PM

Why the fuck does everyone like Napoli so damn much?

I like Napoli.

12/16/2011 9:28:45 PM

Because they're playing Chelsea.

And they have sweet jerseys.

12/16/2011 9:30:47 PM

Well, I've confirmed something I'd suspected for awhile now. Bundesliga is the shit. Freiburg - Borussia Dortmund is highly entertaining and quality. This German hold-up play style is pretty neat and effective.

12/17/2011 10:18:37 AM

I try to catch it whenever I can, especially Dortmund.

The Milans play today if anyone cares

1/15/2012 10:03:34 AM

Any suggestion for an English stream of the barca real game today?

1/18/2012 2:33:58 PM

Great goal from CR7.

1/18/2012 5:03:39 PM

Holy Cow what a great diving header from Puyol.

1/18/2012 5:14:13 PM

What an asshole move by Pepe stepping on Messi hand.

1/18/2012 5:28:04 PM

2-1 Barca going to Camp Nou

[Edited on January 18, 2012 at 5:53 PM. Reason : Abidal]

1/18/2012 5:39:57 PM

fuck a damn el clasico

1/19/2012 8:07:02 AM

Clasico template:

- Real starts out flying. Maybe scores a goal.
- Barca stabilizes and dominates possession. Scores a few goals as Messi dominates.
- Real gets frustrated and starts hacking, stomping and just generally acts like dbags.
- Barca dives all over the field trying to draw reds.

1/19/2012 8:35:20 AM

Sounds about right.

Forgot the stupid hype in the buildup to each game like it's a World Cup final though.

1/19/2012 8:38:41 AM

^^lol

1/19/2012 3:18:58 PM

I remember when I used to enjoy the Clasicos.

THINGS CHANGE.

1/19/2012 5:45:37 PM

It ceases to be Clasico when they play 5 times a year.

1/19/2012 10:51:22 PM

All time series is Barca 86 Real 86 and 45 draws

1/19/2012 10:56:43 PM

Great miss!

Anyone else watching Barca-Real?

God damn that was a fantastic goal from Dani Alves.

1/25/2012 4:50:48 PM

Yes.

I love to color commentary on GOLTV

"he took the spin of the ball into account, he took the spin of the planets in the solar system...

1/25/2012 4:52:09 PM

Damn. Real making a comeback. 2-2.

1/25/2012 5:31:47 PM

Real score 2 in the 2nd half

2-2 in the 72nd

1/25/2012 5:32:01 PM

god there is so much whining and faking injuries in these matches.

1/25/2012 5:53:52 PM

Xherdan Shaqiri signs deal to move to Bayern Munich in the summer for 10M Euros.

One of the view clubs I'm ok with seeing good, young talent move.

2/9/2012 6:06:08 AM

Not good for Rangers

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1021509/rangers-serve-notice-to-go-into-administration?cc=5901

Guess this would wrap up the title for Celtic if there is a point deduction.

2/13/2012 10:44:11 AM

Pretty stoked to watch some Champion's League footy today.

2/14/2012 1:40:30 PM
