The BIG Football Thread

After Balotelli scored he gave Mancini a hug immediately then celebrated with his team mates.Sick goal too.

Nice goal by Torres.What a shit ref, it was his first tackle of the game, he could have kept going right at his legs but tried to turn his body to reduce the contact, it should have been a yellow.Shit ref is shit just like the shit ref that was shit at OT last weekend.

Barca play Athletico later

 

[luke_c]

It doesn't change the fact he went in double footed and made contact with the player. It was the right decision. His goal was good though.

 

[rockstar99]

Chelsea 4-1 Swansea
Torres(Nice finish)
Ramires(2 goals, was great throughout)
Drogba(Well he is one of the best in the EPL and it looks like he is back along with Nando)

Anelka's run and shot was just beautiful to watch.Swansea's goal was nice too.

LFC 2-1 Wolves
Adam(Lucky)
Suarez(Great finish in such a tight Area)

Arsenal 3-0 Bolton
Van Persie(2x Typical Van Persie, gservice to him)
Song(Creamed my pants)

Man City 2-0 Everton
Balotelli(Class goal)
Milner(It was all SIlva)

Utd only 1-1 against Stoke. Stoke away is a very, very hard team to beat, it's sad we didn't take the 3 points but I can live with 1 point. Hopefully Rooney is back soon, was out with a hamstring injury.

good win for Spurs yesterday

also Balotelli's goal would have been saved if it wasn't for a deflection off a defender

I am so fucking excited that I finally get to see a European Football Match in a stadium.On the 28th I will keep pinching myself.... I cant believe it and I bet nobody here will but me and my family are in Spain for a 2 week holiday.Guess where we are staying? Valencia..... i got the tickets and everything and here come some sleepless nights, this will be the best experience of my life.I cant stop thinking about it.Valencia VS Chelsea LIVE...... damn I cant wait... FUCK YES! FINALLY! AFTER 7 FUCKING YEARS!

 

[rockstar99]

I hope watching this match does not get rid of my barcelona love

Its great here, its a beautiful city I am visiting the Serranos Towers tomorrow

 

[Satangel]

Don't expect too much man, then you always get disappointed. Hopefully Chelsea brings on some star players, so you see some nice actions.

I think you'll just be able to appreciate the perfection of Barcelona more when you've seen football played live. You'll then realize just how hard it is to pass that ball so precise and to correctly stop a player.

Yeah thats true but its hard to get it off my head, that I am going to see players like Torres, Drogba, Mata, Lampard, Terry, Cech, Banega, Canales, Soldado all IN PERSON...

I still dont think it is real

Expect much, you'll love it! I've been to see Chelsea play live at Stamford Bridge a couple dozen times, nothing beats being there and seeing it all happen right in front of you. The atmosphere in the games is incredible.
Make sure you learn some chants!

 

[alidsl]

Yeah chants are pretty simple and you look like a dick if you don't sing + don't read "chant books" etc (they're all wrong) and don't try to start any,

I was in the Spurs stand when we won the Carling Cup a few years back (in Wembley) and it was the best experience I've ever had. You'll love it.

 

[rockstar99]

Lol I bought a Chelsea shirt here next to the stadium last night.....

Now what about Chants?

I just listen to people in the crowd and join in?

Damn this is amazing

 

[Shinigami357]

Damn, only got a draw. Oh, well, better drop points now than later on down the stretch.

Be happy you did not lose, De Gea saved you.You could have lost 3-1

Dont talk about the ref.You get bias decisions all the time, you can learn to live with the other team getting some

 

[BlueStar]

Steve Bruce has failed to beat the Magpies, the Swans, the Seagulls and now the Canaries. Some Black Cat.

QUOTELol I bought a Chelsea shirt here next to the stadium last night.....

OK, just to check on the off chance of saving your life - You are going to sit in the Chelsea end if you're planning on supporting them during the game, yes? Because if you end up in with the home fans wearing your Chelsea shirt and cheering if they score you may not leave the stadium...

Also, may not be wise walking around some areas of a foreign city in the colours of a team that have just beaten the local side afterwards.

Valencia fans aren't exactly famous for their hooligan element (although Chelsea are somewhat notorious), but like all clubs they will have their share of nutters. Here's some Nazi flags and weapons confiscated from 50 Valencia fans who were heading to the game with Ossuna a few years ago.

Not trying to terrify you or anything, I'm sure you'll have a great time, but just be aware you have to keep your wits about you at football matches and not get yourself into a situation where you're openly admiring the opposition in the middle of a crowd of pissed-off drunken neo-nazis.

 

[iNFiNiTY]

I don't think you can just turn up at a game like this and go in the away end cause it automatically all goes to ticket holders.

 

[BlueStar]

Yeah, last European away game I went to was Frankfurt-Newcastle ages ago and had to get my tickets from the club. There will always be touts and people with spares though.

Can't imagine you'll pick up many Spanish chants. And, yeah, don't join in with the Chelsea ones if you're sitting in the Valencia end

 

[rockstar99]

Dont worry I have the tickets to sit on the away side, we already planned to support Chelsea in this and got tickets accordingly.

Just 6 hours left

I will leave in 4 hours though... im so excited... I hope this match is good

Thanks for all the tips guys
