Neymar with the equaliser.

Good header.

Neymar with the equaliser.

Good header.

Commentator just said that was Barca's first shot on target

[Phoenix07]

I watched the game on Sky+.

That performance by Atletico Madrid in terms of shape and keeping compact in the first half was one of the most outstanding examples of how it should be done I've ever seen. The pressing, anticipation of Barcelona's attacking play, knowing when to burst forward.

If they had some full-backs with decent technique, they'd go up another level. I really want them to win the Super Copa. Simeone has been excellent, and I hope they have another fantastic season.

[Vermilion]

Tough first game in europe for Spurs.

Sagna starting at CB for Arselol and no Wilshire.

Oh dear.

Owen and Halsey.............just feck off FFS!

Owen - "Afternoon everybody......."

Straight from the Ray Wilkins school of muppetry.

[Lee]

Fulham's starting eleven must be the oldest in the world.

Right old bunch of dinosaurs.

Scotty Parker

One of the most over-rated footballers of his generation

This is the red card Halsey was talking about when talking about his 'good friend', Howard Webb.
Only after 10 secs apparently. It appears as though Webb had no problem 'ruining' this match as opposed to the WC Final that time.
What a poor excuse for a referee.

[RichC]

How was that not a yellow card!

[McDermotX]

Definitely a day for bouncing shots in front of the keepers.

[RichC]

I do hope we're going to be taking plenty of shots today

[McDermotX]

Jaysus.....it's fairly slamming down all the same.

[McDermotX]

Jammy goal for Giroud

0-1 Arsenal
