*Official* English Football Season 2005-06

[The Baconator]

There we go, the goal they deserved nearly an hour ago, and obviously a great touch from Larsson.

 

[roseboy64]

Poor goalkeeping by Almunia.

 

[steds]

Larsson to provide the goods for Barcelona?

Of course.

Told you so.

 

[roseboy64]

Iniesta's been great. All this talk about Riquleme who's 29!! I hope Fergie's watching tonight.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Get in!!!!

 

[The Baconator]

Told you so.

And again.

 

[roseboy64]

2-1 to Barcelona!!!

 

[roseboy64]

I love Manuel Almunia!!!

 

[Blaze]

Henry has been crap.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Henry has been crap.

Henry and Ronaldinho have both been very unimpressive.

 

[steds]

Henry and Ronaldinho have both been very unimpressive.

Shame that we didn't see the best of either of them, never mind both.


On the other hand, Larsson > Henry & Ronaldinho.

 

[luckyeddie]

Henry has been crap.

Scrabble Boy was right?

Edit:

Actually Ronaldinho was complete rubbish - almost as though he bottled it.

 

[Blaze]

I don't watch a lot of football but that penalty decision seemed stupid to me. Why didn't the ref play advantage, give barca the goal and give the arsenal keeper a warning?

Instead he ruined the game.

Edit - Oh and I feel sorry for Arsenal, deserved to win IMO.

 

[Tom Halsey]

All over.

How did they deserve to win? Barcelona clearly played better. One man difference affected that but that's football.

Seldom have I seen more incompetent refereeing in a showcase final.

Are UEFA sure they got the right bloke for wearing the Barcelona shirt?

 

[Jamee999]

Henry completed a hell of a lot more than Ronaldinho, who did **** all and passed the ball out of play instead of shooting.

Shame, but hey, we went 4 rounds further than ManUre.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Ignoring the blatant dive he missed for Arsenal's goal?

He wasn't biased, just awful.

 

[marc71178]

Henry has been crap.

He did the best he could do given the change in roles caused by the referee's error.

One mis-hit shot at 1-0, but apart from that he didn't have a lot to feed off.

Because he doesn't know the rules presumably.
