Beautiful Game 12/13 Thread (Major EPL slant)

[Macca00]

That's what I was waiting for! Glad you didn't disappoint, Macca.

No prob, Zep.

Clearly I'm off the deep end and my points are invalid because of my massively red-tinted glasses.

I expected 5-6. I wouldn't care at all if they didn't have an established precedent of a standard 3 game ban for violent conduct resulting in broken legs and noses for intentional 2-footed tackles and stomping. 10 is literally indefensible given their previous rulings.

To quote Macca's Dad: "You cannot have an impartial Football Association when members of that board are also executives at Man United."

well that didn't take long for Dortmund to score.

Didn't Barton get 12? Suarez is a repeat offender.

They had everything under control until the Hummels mistake. Settle down, they're playing well until that mistake because Real's Modric is a liability.

Outstanding Lewandoski. He really gives Dortmund a lot of bite up front.

[fsquid]

so which english team overpays for Lewandowski now?

[Macca00]

so which english team overpays for Lewandowski now?

City, with Dzeko + wads of cash going the other way. Then again, maybe Bayern will announce they're signing him as well! lol

the rumor is that he will be going to Bayern.

Bring on that all German finals. Who would have guessed that each team would score 4 goals against the Spaniards?

Just a couple of goals behind #7. By the finals he should be the top scorer in the CL.

Deutschland Uber Alles!

Looks like a hell of a player. Love the way he created space for the shot to score the third.

those of us who play the Football Manager have known about him for years!

I suspected as much. That's why I've decided to copy your spelling of the name after giving it my best shot initially

it is weird seeing all the youths you buy in earlier versions of the game actually star later on.

team of the week for the CL

[rhymes450]

Wouldn't like to bet my house on whether this story is true or not:

Apparently Mou feels that it's possible to turn things around against Dortmund:

To top things off,, they've got the Madrid derby against Atletico tomorrow. He's resting a few players but Casillas won't start.

[10spro]

The chances were there for RM but poorly executed. As the second half is about to start and Mourinho's team fees the pressure to score, they better watch out for Lewandowski roaming around.

[RobVarak]

Dortmund not covering themselves in glory in the second half by time wasting like a South American second division team.

[rhymes450]

Turned out to be a long night for Dortmund in the end. After Real Madrid had some very good chances early on, I thought Dortmund controlled the game very well, closed down the passing channels and could have had a couple themselves before the final push by Madrid. Funny how after all the tactical stuff and exquisite technique, a bit of up-and-at-them almost wins the day.

[fsquid]

Mourinho basically said he won't be back in his postgame interview

[fsquid]

Really Bayern, REALLY?

FFS.

To be fair this is all my fault after I went off on the weekend about how I thought Bayern were going to win the CL...so of course they come out a play like dogsh!t. Unlucky for Arsenal.

you can still go off!

[rhymes450]

Wonder if he's trying to get in his "I quit" before Florentino Perez's "you're fired". Hard to imagine he'd see Chelsea as a better bet than RM in his quest for a third Champions League. And has Abramovic really come to love him?
