Champions League Round of 16

Good chance for Cambiasso there.

:o :o :o
Brandao.
Inter really have gone to shit.

FFS. Lucio is an impostor.

Bye bye Claudio. :frowning:

Fuckin hell, penalty now for Inter and a second yellow for the goalie.

Idiot just got himself suspended for the first leg of the QF.

Won’t be any time in the aftermath anyways.

[font=HelveticaNeue]Mario Gomez has 72 goals in 72 Bayern games & 11 hat-tricks in the last 17 months. :o[/font]

Isnt there someone around here who doesnt rate him much? Christ the sides in Basel’s group must have been total shit.

Re my above query (which I’m sure was on the minds of most TFK members since); this BBC article suggests that the EPL and FA ignored the UEFA rule:

Probably Farmer. :shakefist:

Inter really are a sorry sight. They need to get rid of the old guard - the only two I’d hold onto would be Zanetti and Samuel - possibly Milito. The rest should go along with Marco Branca who has been an unmitigated disaster spearheading inter’s transfer policy. They also need a coach with fresh ideas and a philosophy and they have to back them in the transfer market. I was interested in hearing Gasperini give his thoughts on why things went so awry for him and he pretty much put the blame on Moratti and Branca, saying he told them what he needed yet the went off and did something completely different.

It also solidifies what a wonderful manager Mourinho is, he got Sneijder and Lucio playing out of their skin under his tutelage, both have been embarrassing under a succession of new coaches.

sports reader on 2fm just told us inter won 2-1 and progressed. A female, unsurprisingly.

Does anybody else find Didier Deschamps an arrogant wanker? By Christ, I hate him.

Strikes me a quintessential French man, has that air of a cunt about him

I just did a google image search on him to reaffirm my views. What a wanker.

wrong thread

I was obviously watching Stevie G-inspired Liverpool’s magnificent 3-0 victory in the Merseyside derby and tuned into the highlights of the Inter-Marseille game on TV3 not knowing the result. When Milito put Inter 1-0 ahead the score caption came up: “Full Time: Inter 2-1 Marseille 1 (Agg:2-2)”.

So it looks as though it will be the following in the last 8

AC Milan
Apoel
Barcelona
Bayern Munich
Benfica
Marseille
Napoli*
Real Madrid*

You would hope that Napoli, Bayern, Barca and Real all avoid each other as you would have four quality footballing sides in the semi finals and any two of them 4 meeting in the final should be a quality game as well. AC aren’t a bad side at all but Napoli are much more easy on the eye.

  • would be shocked if either failed to get through tonight

Thousands of Napoli fans lined up outside Stamford Bridge and booed the Chelsea squad off the bus. :lol:

I have had a sizable cut off the draw here in the Chelsea v Napoli match at 3/1 with some of my winnings from earlier, have also had a small cut off Napoli at 7/2 to win the game.
