Barca -v- Inter, Champions League Semi-final 2nd Leg

redout

Christ, Dunphy's been on the beer.

"Pedro Rodriguez isnt up to it"

20 goals this season.

gimmick

Haha, Dunphy so far

Busquets - not up to it at this level
Ibra - Lots to prove
Pedro - Not up to it at this level
Gabi Milito - Not even a good defender

I do hope the ref does well tonight.

IRISHSPORTSGUY

Pedro 'not up to it'?! :eek: Up there with Dunphy's most cringeworthy quotes.

Did Dunphy just argue there that Barca aren't a great team or was I hearing things?! :eek:

Eamo: "Barca need to win things"

Billo: "They won 6 comps last year"

I love this.

Nuri Sahin

Initial thoughts are that Pep negates Mourinho's use of Pandev and Eto'o as wide players to press the Barça fullbacks..there are none to press now!

But the game may become more narrow, making it tough for Barça to create.

On the flip side, there's more options on the bench with Maxwell not starting.

Oh and Forza eh...... Inter.

Yeah, " a touch of the Arsenals about them ".

Is Dunphy on the crackpipe?

Vokes

Hmm, can see Maicon causing all sorts of havoc down that Barca left flank.

Assuming Inter can ever get the ball of course!

But it also gives them space on teh break on the flipside.

i think Inter will score. But Barca are easily capabale of getting 3 or 4.

IRISHSPORTSGUY

Keita is a cracking player, but has he ever played left back before?

that was Giles and tbh, they have looked a bit out of sorts without Iniesta, still have great players but they are a much better team with him and Xavi in there imo.

well the reason I want inter to win is because of player like zanetti, lucio and Sneijder

plus they havent won the Cl for like 40yrs iirc

Fair enough reason really.


I reckon the line up will be;

---

Porn Star

---

-Alves

---

Pique

---

Milito

---

Keita--

---

Xavi

---

Busquets

---

Toure

---

---

Messi

---

Ibra

---

Pedro

---

Makes sense, because Keita works his ass off on the left side, and hasn't been that good in attack since christmas, whereas Toure has been immense. I like the look of that team tbh, Reckon we can win it. Don't think we'll go through though.





COME ON

Well there was talk of him starting at LB for the final last year, so presumably he has. Not that I know when though...

Yeah, he's played there a good few times. There's no way Barça will play 3 at the back against Eto'o, Milito and Pandev, especially not if one of those 3 is Alves!

kinaldo

If Dunphy wasn't so damn entertaining I'd be calling for his head.

I wish RTÉ would make their panel do a bit of research to prevent such silly and ignorant comments.

Could play Milito, Toure and Pique though.

Mourinho has just walked out into the centre circle to rile up the home fans

I really hate that man.

Don't know why he'd want to make them any noiser than they already would be though, seems like a silly move to me.

kinaldo

I'm confident of a 3-0 or 4-1 to Barca.

Back to Billo and the nutcases at half-time.

Catalan press say CHIVU playing now

flahavaj

"There is a difference between statistics and facts."

Eamonn Dunphy 28-4-10.

The greatest thing he has ever said. :rolleyes:

T-b0n3

Yea he is according to ITV too. Pandev 'injured'.

It'll be funny how stupid Real Madrid look if Inter win tonight. Sneijder and Robben are largely responsible for their team being where they are.

jaykay74

Fingers crossed for Zlatan for 1st goalscorer.

Holy fcuk!!!!!!!!!!

What a sight at Camp Nou

MagicMarker

I'd say there's an incredible atmosphere there.

Inter and Bayern...

If I hear about watering the pitch one more time !

Hopefully Barca stay on their feet and quit the cheating this week.

Hope Inter do the business, think they will.

Mr.Nice Guy

Hold on to your butts.

Inter sitting a bit too deep IMO.

1951: A few players, by the way, will be treading the fine line tonight just a booking away from missing the final should their team get there. For Barcelona, it's Dani Alves and Gerard Pique, for Inter Milan it's Walter Samuel, Maicon, Samuel Eto'o and Javier Zanetti.

From BBC!

iff Walter Samuel gets away without a yellow card, it would be a miracle

flahavaj

Someone from Inter is either getting the line or will miss teh final if they get there.

Cambiasso and Motta have to watch themselves now - long time to play against Barca having to watch yourself.

Maicon injured now.

The_Kew_Tour

Its all Barca so far if they score before haf time it be very interesting.

Inter living on edge.

Nuri Sahin

Bad feeling if Inter were to go through Zanetti will miss the final

Looking like a typical Catenaccio/Mourinho performance so far from Inter.

Conspiracy - another Inter friendly ref :pac:

Hardly living on the edge in fairness, they're defending quite comfortably.
