That's ace!

[Chris]

The possession stuff was infuriating. As if its that simple to just knock the ball around with 10 men in the Bernabeu!! The way he talks at the viewers, his voice, his knowledge, it's all crap. Get rid!

[kingfunk]

Bring Randy Gay Back!

[Shaggy]

He also said something about corners and beating the first man. He said it two or three times, and the way he says it is as if he believes he's being revolutionary and mega insightful. He said:

"Now, we must make this corner kick count. What we have to do is beat the first man - you have to give your attacking players the opportunity to stick the ball in the net. Give your attacking players the opportunity to score."



FFS!

What he meant was:

"Make it a good delivery."

Harry Redknapp is in the studio tonight

[Mike]

Watched the goals and and also kept flicking between the two games last night.

I have NEVER seen Champions league defending as bad as Inter's was. There was no pressing whatsoever, and i really mean **** all. Edu and co kept dribbling towards goal and all the defenders would do - all 4 - is keep backing away, and away, and so on with no tackles... it was a disaster waiting to happen.

Me and my Dad (who a few of you know) were speechless. OK they had no Lucio and no Samuel but that is not an excuse for defending that bad. The own goal by Inter - ****ing terrible defending - who is he anyway out of curiousity? Before he even touched the ball i said "he looks ****"

I feel like this is turning into a mini-rant so I'm going to stop but come on!

By the way - that Papaudopolous (awful name) looks very promising for Schalke.

roflmao at the wilkins post! - he even got a "keep it real" in

wilkins was ****ing off his tits last night.....

He kept going on about how "we have to defend corners....you can't do nothing when you are down to ten men in open play...but we have to make sure we defend the corners...and to be fair to spurs they have" - er....wait a minute...the first two goals came from corners

Oh another ****ing brilliant one afterwards with jamie redknapp involved, and jeff stelling looked like he had to bite his lip and move on because everyone was emotional!! the first goal/defending a corner - who was picking up adebayor.....Jermaine Jenas....who wasn't due to start - so the excuse they were giving was, because all week they will have marked on who was marking who, and then because Jenas comes in late, it's up set the defending of the first/early corner!!

Stelling was like....er wait a minute....Jenas replaced Aaron Lennon a minute before kickoff - 4 ft 1" aaron lennon....not Michael Dawson - aaron lennon would not have been down to mark Adebayor.....so why change anything??? it's not like Jenas is particularly strong in there.....so why did anything change...there was no need too - surely before Lennon bottled it, someone else was down to mark Adebayor, as he would have been identified as a threat
- So why didn’t jenas do what ever job lennon was going to do.....noone could answer...they just spat out some ****e about disruption - Stelling moved on



Also - in this stadium with 10 men against this team, don't count your chickens!

It was one thing after another with Wilkins last night, it was by far the worst I have ever heard.

Actually, some Garry Birtles commentaries have been worse.

If Sky have anything about them whatsoever they won't let 'Ray' near a mic again.

[PTP]

It was just pure mental - another one....something like...


"he's done well, there Ricky, come across well and made a good challenge, that's what Ricky does..........Ricky carvalho"

Oooooohhhh Check out Ray Wilkins....he knows ricardo carvalho so well.....He comes him RICKY!

[PTP]

And how many times after the game did Jamie Redknapp mention...He knows his dad....

"jeff....i know him....I know him well and he will be upset with the marking there...my dad....i know him...jeff"

[Shaggy]

Read the thread man ...it's all been covered.

[Tee]

Sky are ****ed.

[PTP]
