2012/13 UEFA Champions League thread

Feels like Barca were getting written off very prematurely. 1-0 Messi already.

[Baddar]

It was a sweet strike.

[MJB]

What a save that was by Abbiati.

[HailtotheYo]

Wow, so game on.

[Thrilla]

Schalke are one up as well, if they go through it'll be the third year in a row they've made it to the Semis, I believe, which is weird as they're probably not even the fourth biggest team in Germany.

Except it'll only be the 1/4 finals.

Ah, must be getting my bits mixed up then. Third time in a row reaching the quarters, perhaps? Thought this was already the QF stage for some reason.

[Baddar]

They weren't even in the CL last year, according to Wiki. Figured I'd check because I didn't recall them getting far last year, if anywhere.

And the semi's were Chelsea-Barca, Bayern-Real.

Maybe they made the Europa semi's?

[Thrilla]

Ah, the quarters of the Europa League in 11/12. Thought it was last year that they got knocked out by United but that was 10/11 it appears.

Basically, I don't know what I'm talking about.

[Colly]

Meh, it was a good stat, and probably still more accurate than ITV.

[Lineker]

Phil Thompson's GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!

[Matt]

The cunts have also made it 2-2 overall. Come on Schalke.

Which isn't difficult really.

As Clive just pointed out though, Niang's miss is a huge one now.

No ones watching Phil Thompson. Does your beeb contract deny you access to watching ITV?

[Thrilla]

That Messi lad is a bit alright at this footballs malarky.

I was. I didn't realise the game was on ITV until this post

You're getting better already.

Make that 3-2 on agg. Schalke need two now.

To be fair, an update every 5 minutes from Phil Thompson > > > > > > > ITV commentary.

Fucking cunts are pretty much through now, Schalke need to score twice without reply.

If I don't care about Brett Pitman giving Bournemouth a 1-0 lead at Stevenage, who will?

[MDK]

I want Galatasaray to win because it'll mean extra doner kebab at my local >_>

[Kaney]

Villa makes it three!
