i'm not sure if you are saying this b/c of your knowledge of both teams or to be a dick, but there could def be scenario's where one wouldnt agree, such as one team having more faith in their backups or feel the players they will be missing are less important, or feel the other team's missing players are very important and their backups suck...4/26/2012 10:41:46 PM |

Pulling for Bayern. As much as I enjoyed seeing Chelsea pull it together and beat Barcelona, I'd rather not see them win the whole thing. John Terry is an asshat and Robben is Dutch, so that pretty much my take on the teams. 5/18/2012 11:50:24 AM |

aimorris All American 15213 Posts user info edit post |
Even if I didn't hate the majority of Chelsea's players, I'd still probably go for Bayern. The financial nerd in me loves how they've made a profit 19 years in a row and I think supporter owned (majority anyways) clubs are an awesome concept. I don't understand why LFC fans didn't try to put together some sort of proposal to buy half the club or something when their value was rock bottom. Probably a long shot but that would have been the best time to try it.
it would be kind of funny for Spurs to miss out after their fans talked so much shit though, I have to admit.

Did we talk a lot of shit? I seem to remember us just enjoying the performances more than anything. Maybe a bit more to Arsenal but that's to be expected.
Unless you're referring to us talking shit about Liverpool. But you can't blame us for that because people were talking so much shit about Liverpool that it got old halfway through the season. 5/18/2012 6:03:17 PM |

Chelsea is concerned about Robben on the wing too, starting Bertrand on that wing to help Cole. This is an interesting time to experiment, Mr. Di Matteo. 5/19/2012 2:36:57 PM |
