Brilliant rebut.
My computer spells out words I start to save time.
So, you wish to point out an h in a word.
Doesn't change the facts that the guy was cluless in his facts.
Now we have a spell police on a message board, LMAO.

Changes nothing. I'll say again, Cahill was absolutely immense in that run and was a big part of why Chelsea lifted the trophy.

Cech, Ivan, Cahill, Terry, Luiz, Lampard, Ramires, Torres, Eto'o, Mourinho, all have big time Champions League experience. Not nearly as much on the Atletico side.
yes but how many will even see big minutes this tie
Cech Terry Cahill and Luiz

im not trying to discredit him at all but he wasn't a major major reason they won.

It's foolish to try and predict how Mou will roll out his squad in a big match, but I could realistically see any and all of those players listed starting the first match against Atletico.

They have experience, no team ever stays fully intact, especially on big name teams, we all know that, their experience is in key places though down the middle and in the back. I am an Everton fan, have been since the mid 80's so I really don't like Chealsa and hope A.M. win.
As for R.M. vs. Bayern it could end up 7-3 the other way, if either team is up by 2 in the second leg this game will be wide open and I predict a lopsidded win, I just think Bayern is the better over all team, I think Bayern has been playing half azz and will pick it up vs. R.M., we will see.

great point but he still knows who can do what.
vs Atletico he will need pace out there and guys who are very tactical on the ball
Now if they can get infront then by all means park that bus and boring boring chelsea

I was just fricking with you because you were acting like choosing Atletico was some brave pick. Anyone who has seen them play this year knows that, when healthy, they are a force to be reckoned with. I don't really give a shite why you spelled it that way. I wouldn't spell it correctly, though that might have changed this year, with any sort of regularity if I didn't follow La Liga, i.e., I probably would have misspelled it a few years ago.

Pep's style is much different than his predecessor
this is a new and different Bayern we are not used to seeing.

Or if they feel like it it seems.
Just last year Celtic played IF Elfsborg where they had Mo Bangura loaned out. This was the response from UEFA just last year:
quote:
"As we, in line with the FIFA regulations on status and transfer of players, consider a loan to be a transfer, we do not have any regulations regarding players not playing against their parent club whilst on loan to another club. If a player is duly registered on the player list of IF Elfsborg then he can play against any team that Elfsborg are drawn against."
"Any agreement between the two clubs that this player wouldn’t play against Celtic should Elfsborg be drawn against them is purely between the clubs. UEFA would not have any involvement or consideration of this agreement, it would be neither endorsed or enforceable by UEFA."
It's pretty clear that this is complete bullshite. Atletico got a great deal on one of the top keepers in the world and they knew this was a possibility when they took this deal.
Apples and oranges... one appears to be a "gentlemen's" agreement, so UEFA is cool with it...
Chelsea chose not to do their due diligence and put a clause in that requires AM to pay for him to play... UEFA says no...
If AM should desire to honor not playing him, in the spirit of their original agreement, I doubt UEFA would make them play him..
Two very different situations..

Pep's new style works a lot better with Thiago on the pitch, but we might not even have him if we make it to the final.
I said going into the knockout stages that Real look like the team to beat...really would have preferred to see them after the semis (rather play them once than twice). At least FS1 will be showing plenty of clips from the 2012 semifinals.
Rooting for Athletico on the simple fact I don't want to see 472 Drogba PK replays if Chelsea gets through.
Also, Hope Bastian gets his crap together...need him at top notch level vs. Madrid.

Ronaldo might be out for the first leg. Does your opinion change?

Don't forget Cole who will likely play in the 1st leg against Atleti.

No, it's really not and I'm pretty blown away at your opinion on the matter, but, you know, that's like, your opinion man.

You're arguing with a guy who said his quarter picks were "spot on" when he picked PSG.
Posted on 4/11/14 at 1:20 pm to joey barton
I'll be in London for that first leg and was hoping we'd get that at home. Oh well, better to get the second leg at home anyway.

There could be much worse options to have to rely on in this situation. I just hope Jose gives him a start in the league the next two weeks to get him back to match fitness.

if he gives you a vintage performance for 75 mins thats all you can really ask for
