Champions League Quarter Finals Leg 1

Guy:Incognito

0-1 Gerrard.

shatners basoon

Couldn't save that one though!
First time we see some football played and PSV are punished for their defensive stance. Now they'll have to change their system. Hopefully that'll open the game up more.

IrishMike

Poor first half
Despite the goal Gerrard has seemed very uninterested as has Alonso
I think Agger has had more of the ball than the entire PSV team
Probably a 2-0 comfortable away win, heres hoping

KdjaCL

2-0 risse


tie over

PSV doing a Blackburn ? not bothering coming out after half time.

KdjaCL

Ac 1-0 Pirlo


Think PSV are just really poor.

Gillardino booked for scoring when the flag was up. He probably didn't know about it and it was a very tight decision. Pathetic refereeing.

Necronomicon

Pathetic stuff from PSV.

Becuase you have realised its true? good lad, finally found sense.

My guess on the starting line up for milan was way out...

No Yoann, bonera and Kaladze... haha.

Guy:Incognito

How do you learn how to head a ball all of a sudden inside a week? I'm genuinly baffeld. In a good way though.:)


0-3 Crouch. yay.

I dont like how the competition is panning out this season, it's been a bit easy, never a good sign.

KdjaCL

3-0

And pool just playing not exactly setting the world alight.

Jesus Rafa, no need to take the piss. Zenden. :eek:

I know what you mean albeit from a €450 million less point of view

Pool didnt need to defend in this game but they can if needed, cant see anyone out defending pool.

Raskolnikov

I think the credit for Liverpool's performance has to go to Benitez tonight. Tactically, they haven't given PSV a sniff.

I must have blinked because I don't remember Reina having to make a save.

Chardee MacDennis

that looks bad, i wonder if we'll see auriello again this season?

Guy:Incognito

Now now kids.

Very surprised Bellamy hasnt been brought on. Would have thought it would be a great chance for old no neck to score.

Necronomicon

Munich score, Van Buyten. 1-1

Raskolnikov

Bayern equalise thanks to some shocking AC defending.

Royale with Cheese

Wow. Milan 1-1 Bayern. Goal from nowhere really. Van Buyten. Milan only have themselves to blame

Royale with Cheese

That is just ridiculous. This ref is appalling. Great tackle by Lucio. 2-1 Kaka pen

Raskolnikov

Peno for Milan, absolutely disgraceful decision.

2-1

Mossy Monk

How the hell is this a penalty? Cleanly got the ball.

Bayern robbed.

Guy:Incognito

Aah Rafa with the great decision making. Put on two quick wingers and take off the tall guy who's getting on the end of every cross lately.

Chardee MacDennis

gonzalez has his shooting boots on tonight...

Guy:Incognito

Calculated yellow there for Kuyt?

Royale with Cheese

Ha ha justice done. 2-2, van Buyten again

Mossy Monk

Bayern equalise. Delighted I am. Hurrah!!!!!

Raskolnikov

What is wrong with Milan's backline? Any little bit of pressure and it just folds. I can't help but think that a team like Man Utd would tear them apart.

Ardent

Anyone watching those muppets on RTE laying into Liverpool again? And of course Brady is the ringleader again. You'd swear they just witnessed a bore 0-0 draw, with Liverpool the main culprits! Beyond a joke at this stage...

Winning away 3-0 in Europe over 2 legs isnt good enough unless its from a dodgy free kick.


Dont know why anyhone listens to them tbh, if i was in pub saying that about pool or utd people would walk away.....

The justice was Milan actually getting the peno after this getting disallowed.

http://www.d1g.com/video/show/?id=831433

Milan deserved to win by 2 or 3.

mike65

Aurellio is gone for the season I'd say.

Kuyt was cheeky, that was a deliberate yellow card.

Pity they did'nt put a fourth in just so the kids can have a night out next week!

Liverpool 4-1 Arsenal

=> Nice one !

PSV 0-3 Liverpool

=> another Nice one !!!!!

Two very good days 'at the office' for Liverpool. I'm impressed by Mascherano, his application and attitude. He is definitely a class above Sissoko and can do the tackling as well as safe passes. Some very good performances tonight. Carra, his usual self, Finnan, did the bizz in the back and up front from the right (take note Stan!), Gerrard and Riise too and of course Crouch who jumped again(!). Who's been giving him jumping lessons ??? Looks like he had them when he was out for his broken nose! Alonso a bit subdued, Kuyt played his game well.

Liverpool have this leg sown up barring a miracle, but no doubt Rafa will have their feet firmly on the ground until the final whistle goes as we know like no other club that it is possible to come back from 3-0 down, even in 45 mins. PSV badly missed Alex and Kone and I understand they will be out for the next game. Now it means I will keep a closer eye on the Chelsea v Valencia match tomorrow night.

: Although "At sixes and sevens" appears here when searched, I wonder why it does not appear in the A-Z list. I understand it to mean distracted or confused.
: Derivation anyone?

From "Hog on Ice" by Charles Earle Funk: (paraphrased) The expression is believed to be 150 years old at least (this written in 1948). An older form, "on six and seven," was known in Chaucer's day and he used it in 1375 in "Troylus and Cryseyde." But he didn't explain it. Mr. Funk thinks Chaucer's use referred to an old dicing game. From Chaucer and other sources, we know there was a game where to try a throw of six and seven was a very risky gamble. One who staked his win on such a throw was reckless in the extreme.


In a football sense, it doesnt mean reckless though. It now colloqually means badly organised, all over the place, etc. eg: Mark Lawrenson commenting on a goal mouth scramble and clearance "They were at sixes and sevens there, John".

that was one hell of a long 'weekend' for me, is that the year ?

Love to see Valencia get thier nose ahead tomorrow

Mike.

wtf?

is there a reason for posting the same thing in two different threads redspider?

How confident are Man Utd fans with their defence? They've no choice but to play...
O'Shea - Ferdinand - Brown - Heinze

I'd honestly feel more confident with Ireland's defence over that. Roma must take advantage.

leninbenjamin

Good stuff for Bayern there, as bad as the refs decision was a 2 - 2 is better then a 1 - 1 for the away team. those away goals could come in mighty handy. how van Buyten managed to score both of them is unbelieveable, many a top striker would fail to take one from those chances.

i think the lads on RTÉ had a point. Even a 3 - 0 scoreline for them made for crap watching, i started out watching it but ended up switching the the Bayern match. Only thing i could think of once the first goal went in though was "Are you watching, Arsene Wenger!"

It'll be all about the midfield for United tomorrow, they'll need to protect that defense and give Totti et al. as little time as possible on the ball tomorrow, they'd make mince meat of brown and o'shea otherwise. i think this one could well be a score draw. Roma could tear them apart, but Ronaldo will do one thing right all match and they'll score from it

hoping Valencia go up on Chelsea tomorrow too. I'm hoping Chelsea's lack of width will go against them.

PHB

Tomorrow is interesting. Form suggests United are gona beat them, we havn't lost in so long I forget what it feels like.

Uniteds defense is shaky, but to be honest, I think Roma are a bit overrated, that said I'm a bit drunk so

Totti is a class act, but Mancini is a player who can't get into the national squad, which is lacking in any wide players. Tadetti isn't that great for me.

De Rossi is good, but no match for Scholes. Personally, I changing from the view of a score draw to a win, but I think we will concede.

You can say what you want about O'Shea, but he isn't a bad defender, especially at right back. Brown is our weakest link, so its up to Rio to perform.

Brady is just sour cos pool beat Arsenal handy on Sunday and then made idiots out of the team that put de Arsenal out....

Yeah I'd say Darragh Maloneys got a smug look on his face this morning alright.

Houghton: That looks like his calf Darragh, I've had that before and it feels like you've been shot in the back of the leg
Maloney: Yeah he looks bad alright, looks like it might be his achilles.
Razor Ray : NO DARRAGH. ITS HIS CALF! I'VE HAD THAT BEFORE. ITS HIS FCUKING CALF YOU SPANNER.

LOL.

Houghton is full of sh1te when he's commentating tbh. He did his usual trick last night of stating the bleedin obvious. One of the PSV players was in on gaol with the option to square it but decided to shoot and Reina saved it and Houghton piped up and said, "He took the wrong option Darragh, he should of passed" No sh1t Sherlock! :rolleyes:

Only got to watch the last 20mins or so of the match last night so I didn't know whether the match was that good or not but with the way the Panel were going on you'd swear that Liverpool had just lost 3-0 at home. Brady even went so far as to quote Dunphy saying that, "if you want entertainment go to the circus" I'm really confused as to what they actually want from a football game.

PHB

To be honest, it was a pretty dull game, but thats more PSV's fault than Liverpools.
Liverpool did everything they needed to do to get into the second round, although I think if they had played better, they coulda won 5/6-0.
PSV never made a game of it, so it was always going to be boring.
