The midweek/weekend games thread

[arabspur]

The past few weeks I really started to feel sorry for Drogba and Essien.. The two were pure beasts but now you can obviously see how slow they became one through age and the other injuries..

 

[Yossarian]

Have to say it's a t'riffic game, schoolboy defending notwithstanding.

 

[mick cooper]

I don't get it. I'm fairly sure I'm not the only one... Ibroke I get...

Celtic v Rangers is underpinned by religious division, Celtic being predominantly Irish Scottish Catholic, and Rangers being protestant loyalists.

The idea of Rangers with their loyalist history having the ground renamed after the Irish Republican army is the basis of the joke

A bit like New WHL being called The Gunnery or Arsenal

the hard core IRA is the Provisional IRA - hence the provisional (another variant of not yet set in stone)

so 2 jokes in 1.

But not any more........

YES!! Lavezzi again!! 3-1!!

 

[Yossarian]

Lavezzi! 3-1.

 

[DHSF]

Luiz is pretty brick - I think i have only just realised that.

When he let the ball go I didnt realise there was a Napoli player cos I didnt realise anyone is that stoopid.

 

[stupid632]

3-1, good goal, nice let lay off to Lavezzi and simple into the net

 

[Modric THFC]

Luiz has been one of their best defenders for a while now

So much for that.

 

[Park Lane James]

Such a bizarre match

 

[Stiff_Swede]

Two teams with horrible defenses and one team with two superstar up front

 

[DHSF]

Defensive standards at top english clubs?

Ahem spurs defending is just fine

 

[Park Lane James]

We do need a youngster but no reason we couldn't sign both Drogba and someone like Damiao

I suppose so - but he will want to play regularly, wasn't happy at Chelsea when he wasn't in the team every week. Think he'll go back to France or perhaps Italy.

 

[Rorschach]

AVB is fooked

 

[paxtonwolf]

Sideshow Bob strikes again.

Hopefully Bolton will gain some confidence for the weekend from watching this

 

[Howard Webb]

its alright, AVB already said this leg wont decide the tie!

can you send a p45 via aurasma?

No English teams in the last 8 of the CL. A first.

I thought the same thing as is United's and City's.

 

[Park Lane James]

whenever the score changes within 10-15 minutes of half-time that's what he says.

We should create the 'Jamie Redknapp Wheel of Soundbites'

Woah, woah, woah this tie is a loooong way from over. As it stands a 2-0 win for Chelsea at the Bridge would see them through.

Beat me to it, just said the same to the wife. 3 clean sheets on the bounce for us right now
