Right, dont see a thread for this. If there is mods, ye can delete this.



FC Barcelona coach Josep Guardiola and his FC Shakhtar Donetsk counterpart Mircea Lucescu will put their friendship aside for 90 minutes when their sides meet in Monaco with the UEFA Super Cup at stake.

Still trying to dig out line up for teams...

Deadly. Totally forgot about this. Thanks for the heads up lisbon.

This should be a decent watch.

Srna is still playing for Shakhtar afaik. Wonder will he outshine Alves.

Plus a chance to see how Ibra is fitting in.

Cool.

Redzer7

Number 27 chygynskiyy has already signed for Barca :P
he's gonna score an og in the last minute :P

Is Andres Iniesta injured?

Rekop dog

Can't wait to see Ibra begin what's gonna be a substandard year up front. Still can't get over that transfer.

Yeah Mate :mad:. Here.

I know it's been said before, but Barcelona really do have a fantastic team.

How has Ibrahimovic done in pre-season?

JPA

What is up with Gabriel Milito?
Fecked?

Pro. F

Jaysus that Monaco pitch is always fecked. In a state all together.

The Super Cup is only played there so the UEFA suits have an excuse to go at the casinos and fancy hookers.

lisbon_lions

Good effort by Henry there.

Yeah pitch is a right bad shape.

Raskolnikov

Neither team look arsed. Shaktar to win is a nice price.

Henry nearly scored a goal reminiscent of the one against United in '00. How ironic

If your bored have a watch of Keita and debate with me whether United should have made a bid for him this summer. I've been thinking he might be worth a punt. He's always going to be down the pecking order at Barca, might blossom at United though.

lisbon_lions

sorry about that lads. bit of an anti climax this.

Matches like these are an embarrassment to the game.

Prawn sandwitch beano on a pitch worse than the one they had a tap about on at Ypres

lisbon_lions

ha ha took the brave step of starting a thread and this is what happens. pfft.ill get me coat.

Srna has some right foot on him. Both teams are trying. Shakhtar just defending very well.

Mossy Monk

Awful game. Fell asleep twice already.

Would he leave Barca for us? If we could even afford him....

MementoMori

Massive amounts of underwhelment

Ibra hasnt done much but I suppose Messi hasnt either

MementoMori

Bit odd that - Henry and the Barca players hanging around in the stairs waiting for Pep to go out first

Cameraman doing his best to spot some hot Monaco totty at half time:D

MementoMori

I think part of the problem is that the game is being played before what I assume is a largely neutral crowd of French/Monacons. Seems very quiet in the stadium for the most part.

MementoMori

Ibra wins the utterly pointless back-heel flick to no-one out over the sideline award of the night

lisbon_lions

penalties written all over this one.

I don't know if he'd really be available, i was just thinking he might be tempted to leave if he thought he'd have more of a chance to get first team football.

Don't know - Barca might just nick one with all the possession/field position they have.

Shaktat have displayed all the attacking threat of a sleepy three year old with a blankie this half.

Raskolnikov

Ibrahimvoic having a stinker, que a goal.

god damn id have eto'o all day long

MementoMori

Might be extra-time in this

AAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH the humanity!!!!

Eto'o wasn't great on his Inter debut either.

Yeah on this showing Ibra very poor

Cant see him being too popular at the Nou Camp if he continues to ignore players free in space like he did with Henry there.

Pro. F

Two match ban for that dive :pac:
edit: stupid slow connection. Royal with Cheese wins i think.

Mossy Monk

2 match ban on the way for Ibrahimovic.

Raskolnikov

Cocknose coming off, at last.

If they wish to be consistant, yes they do.

The depressing thing is you'll never hear anything about it ever again, and nobody will ever describe Ibrahimovic as a cheat.

Iv a feeling Henry will score

Leprechaun77

Can of worms....:D
