this referee is a bast@rd!

he had the whistle in his mouth for the final whistle & he removed it. that's fraudulent! whatever happens, chelsea have shown this bayern side are useless. playing against 10 men for almost 35 mins and yet they cannot win.

nateevs: Ceccccchhhhhh!

stunning save - that was world class from cech!
mourinho is a motivator - see how he's lifting his players from the touchline. cahill & luiz are ready to die on that pitch.

OMO IBO: ok! maybe i shouldnt have said that.

cech, called into action twice. twice he responded

chelsea are getting weary!
when chelsea get the ball, they need to be keeping it more. take it to corner flag and run the clock.

OMO IBO: cahil and luiz have been decent

typical of english sides - those aerial balls bayern are pumping in will not beat west brom. they would have destroyed barca by now with those aerial incursions but cahill, ivanovic & luiz have been world class.....

no bayern defender would walk into that chelsea side.

lolololol @ boateng's attempted cross!

jesus - bayern are not better than swansea!

afrodoc: stupid yellow card for lukaku.someone should giv him valium to calm down

he shouldn't even be on the pitch.....
what was mourinho thinking - he needs a box to box midfielder or an extra defender.

afrodoc: Dayokanu!!!!
no talk say becos bayern lose u no go release musical instruments o!

why is mourinho bringing on lukaku?
come on - bring on essien to destroy kroos & gotze!

goallll

hazard destroys chelsea
this is the lahm & neuer better than evra & de gea? i would eat my shoes. 10 men chelsea beating the devil out of bayern!!!

dayokanu: Would Chelsea have played 14 players Wasnt it that the coach chose the est 11 without any injuries?

same way guardiola decided to rest martinez & gotze. will guardiola play 13 players at once? players would always be injured or miss games.

you told us only 2 chelsea players would play for bayern - one of them(mata) has not even kicked a ball yet - so it's 10 vs 1

how come bayern can't win after 90 mins?

dayokanu: Especially with Schweini, Thiago injured and still bossing Chelsea all game long

Ramires off

with terry, mata & essien on the bench, bayern should be winning this game.

freekick for chelsea - fat frank should let david luiz take this shot!

when guardiola's teams are struggling to win - you can always expect a red card for their opponents.

take torres out, bring terry in!

nateevs: That was just typical Ramires. A football brain will take that ball in its stride. He didn't even need to tackle.

ramirez got some of the ball, the top left sef....but bayern players have been drilled to fall like a shot rabbit in every physical contact.

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]And i'd say this, there's nothing Special about this Bayern team.[/color]

bayern na fraud!
they were able to use their height advantage to bully barca & they got a familiar foe in the final & won it. there's nothing special at all - arsenal proved that @ allianz arena!

red card for ramirez - i called it!

Ibime: Oscar dey fear to use left leg, if not na goal be dat

abeggi, it's not about left leg, he's already sat neuer on his aśs, he only needed to dance around him and tuck the ball in the net. that flick he attempted was criminal.

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]How could they have missed that? [/color]

oscar deserves a loan move to saudi arabia for that miss. what a tool!

now bayern are trying to get chelsea players sent off - i can see that happening. mourinho should bring on terry now. luiz would get an early bath!

look at the comedy of errors from 2 world class goalies - neuer's awful kicking and cech's disgraceful airshot. what the heck is going on?

dayokanu: [img]http://www.gifti.me/i/4LFQChty.gif[/img]

de gea is saving that shot - i don't care what anyone says. cech actually dived over the ball.

oscar is a fool!
what a chance - how can you miss from that position?

what a goal by ribery....

cech messed up, how can you get beat on your near post from 20 yards. that move was from a chelsea error - they were counterattacking. mourinho would be so disappointed!

nateevs: Very impressive half for me. Special mention to Ashley who's not given Robben more than an inch of space. We are struggling on the right with Ribery and those half open chances. Having concurrent attacks on the left could be disastrous.

David Luiz and Cahill have been really close on Mazukic and Muller snuffing out any space even in counter attacking scenarios.

It's not impossible to get a second goal and then park the bus if we can.

if i were mourinho, i would whisper to luiz, schurrle, torres, ramirez and ivanovic to keep calm. i can see a red card ruining this game for chelsea. guardiola's teams depend on sending a man off & gaining undue advantage.

chelsea destroyed bayern with this goal & some goats here are saying only 2 chelsea players would walk into a bayern team. mata is not playing & chelsea are winning comfortably.

nateevs: Very impressive he has been. I've longed to see how he does on the right as the left is he stronger position.

nando is blessed.
£20 @ 9/1 on paddypower.

elampiro: That was what he played, with Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo in the attack.

and tevez was a united player in 2006?

nateevs: Ashley Cole has managed to stay tight on Robben. Ivanovic, no so much on Ribery.

ivanovic is getting too drawn to the ball - if not for the fact ribery is shyte, someone like ronaldo would have punished chelsea for the chances ribery has had tonight.

schurrle is so impressive - valenciaesque - get to the byeline & deliver a cross.

ramirez is such a hardworking player....
his critics don't understand his value - he's a nuisance to any opponent. he tackles well, has pace and very technical.

torres is the king of big stage - 8 goals in his last 8 european cup appearance.

Ibime: Sheeeeeéeeeeeeekkpeeeee!!!

did you see that move?
fast sweeping attack and excellent wing play - no dilly-dallying. the transition of the ball was ferocious. that's how torres scores!

curse this torres again on this thread and you shall rot in hell!

he's the best striker in london

elampiro: .... all these lengthy post on formation sef.

4-2-4, 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-4-1-1, 4-5-1, 3-5-2, 4-2-1-3, 4-3-2-1, 2-2-2-2-2, 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 are more of theory than practical. These are terms used more by sports writers than coaches.

It is the players available in a squad that enables the coach to plan some tactics and options, then the formation is more of a little guide. When SAF played 4-3-3 between 2006 to 2009, it was because of the kind of players available to him, but in between he opted for a different formation whenever he used Berbatov.

SAF played 4-3-3 between 2006 & 2009? na wa o - don't people would distort the facts to suit their argument.

dayokanu: Hes recovering from injury and Not fit.

He hasnt started any of the 4 League games till now

why is he on the bench? story - dayokanu is not even confident in his team. united have played rafael & JS park in their midfield, giggs in defence, carrick & valencia in defence, berbatov in defence.

abegi, your team is crap.

the fan of the "best" in europe is jittery because schweini is not playing? is this your admittance that chelsea are superior or just an excuse if you lose to nando's led-attack?

l @chelseafc: Čech; Ivanović, Cahill, David Luiz, A.Cole; Ramires, Lampard; Schürrle, Oscar, Hazard; Torres. #UEFASuperCup

torres starts ----
dayokanu should start praying - torres can't stand germans. he would surely get a goal tonight.

[quote author=♛AndrERush♛]If you followed Januzaj in the reserve and pre-season you would know he is a gem.[/quote]i have been following him since last season - chamotex actually sensitised me about him cos i cut off my MUTV subscription since we sold pogba & morrison. then i re-subscribed and i have been following janujaz ever since then.

he's a prodigy without a doubt but he's not ready yet.

Katsumoto: I think Unilag's Engineering is good (plus the gals ), from what I have heard. Well I need not explain why UI comes before Unilag.

i need your explanation....
UI's cultism is a turn off - i am not saying UNILAG isn't devoid of cultism but i don't think any school celebrates cultism as much as UI in the south west. i was told the cult groups openly solicit for membership.

mithel: how about we look at man utd's too

you bring up chelsea's i bring up man utd but then i know you would likely argue about how the teams were off form or not strong and stuff ..i know your style
