Anyone know a radio station that is streaming tonight's games besides bbc 5 live?
I don't understand this thread. Are you allowed to actually write anything, or do you just have to embolden teams' names?
Some trite obervations after watching Arsenal vs Roma:
Worst tatoo in world football? Philippe Mexes.
Same dieticians? Mexes and Andy Reid.
On basis of what I saw, English teams are still way ahead of Italian teams.
On this point, I was at a Sports Governance conference on Friday & Saturday in London Birkbeck University. An Irish academic, Sean Hamil from Co. Down, presented a paper on regulatory failure in Italian football. The paper is to be published soon - maybe look out for it online.
A very worthwhile read if the presentation is anything to go by. Deals with corruption, drugs, television rights and general issues within the league structure, adding that Italy's WC success and the perception of Capello et al being master tacticians only masks the demise of Italy from the no. 1 league in Europe to the no. 4.
Dunphy trotting out the same old lines about Barcelona having a poor defence was annoying as it was predictable
I think tonight Real Madrid should beat Liverpool handy enough
I cant see that gustavo. Liverpool will turn it into a scrap and probably get a draw from it or at worst a narrow loss. They have always performed well in the knockout stages of the CL under Rafa.Quote:

Henry has to be the most infuriating player around. I know he scored a vital goal but he was absolutely crap apart from that and looks like he don't give a toss.
In attendances, Italy is behind Germany but CL results would indicate that, at the top level anyway, Italy is ahead on the pitch.Quote:

Pique & Marques at center back, Valdes in goal, Puyol left back. Thats an awful defence. Marques is average at best Pique is poor I think he is a desperate footballer we can all see now why Ferguson got rid of him. Valdes is terrible I'd say he is an accident waiting to happen but it's becomes a plane crash at this stage.
I can't agree about Henry he has been in great form all year for Barca he has had some excellent games. Every player in the world can have a bad game. He is part of a 3 man forward line that has scored 63 goals between them.
If Valdes really was "terrible" theres not a chance he'd be top choice for Barcelona for the last 5 years , Similarly Marquez is a fine player much underrated in these partsQuote:

I've always said he's a very very good player, not a great one.
personal bias of course but i'd say he'd be great if he weren't so smug. but incredibly skillful, balanced, athletic, in his prime he'd be a dream signing for most top teams in the world no?Quote:

I don't think Anfield will be such a huge factor this time in the 2nd leg cos Real won't cave there like some teams do. They'll see themselves as superior to Liverpool, rightly or wrongly.
0-0Quote:

They always overlook that, to use the cliche, football is a game of two halves. How often have we seen a team dominated in the first half, come out and make much more of a game of it in the second? Numerous times - never seems to cross the two stooges minds at half time.
"You'd know more about Italian football than me Eamon" This is what Giles said to Dunphy. They actually believe that Dunphy studies the foreign lges in his spare time I'd say. I'm not even sure that Serie A is on any channel anymore is it? I know BBC3 showed the Milan derby recently but other than that. He's the same with the Spanish league, I'd say he watches the odd Barca or Real match like the rest of us and says he's in every wkd watchin it. Aimar and Baraja were key players for Valencia about 5 yrs after they were actually key players for them if one went by what Eamon said!! plus Seville were a far superior team to Real and Barca at the start of last season despite finishing 5 pts behind both of them the previous campaign.Quote:
