I don't think Chelsea can hold off Barcelona for another game, they are way too good to be kept off the score sheet twice. I expect a Bayern vs. Barcelona final, with Barcelona winning it all. Though if there is any team that can beat Barcelona it is Bayern, problem is their inconsistencies in level of play has been an issue all year.
SJC i heard there was a fight between Ribery and Robben? (Ribery hit Robben)And now Robben doesn't want to sign an extension? because he wants to see how Bayern is going to react. Did you also hear about this? I hope it will be Bayern versus Barcelona, I hate Real and Chelsea.
^^ This story is popping up in all papers right now and is likely true, but I don't think it will have an effect on Robben signing the extension. Those things happen between players and most of the times cool down after everyone calms down. I know they had some b****-fights, but overall their relationship seems okay. SJC is free to correct me.
I think the story is true. I did see them fighting on the pitch already, so I would not be surprised if it carried over to the locker room. I don't think it will have an effect on the extension. Will try to find out about the fight.
Robben should go somewhere else. He's having problems constantly. What do the fans think about him ATW?
Majority supports him here, only a minority wants him out. Robben is one of the most important players for Bayern with his individual skills and moments of brilliance, people know that. German media is quite harsh on him though.
In the interview with the Dutch media after the game it was clear Robben was not happy. He said that the team didn't use him as much as they should have.
The fans respect him, but they love Ribery more. But they are idiots. I think Robben is fantastic. He is also a really nice guy. His dad's always around, too. Recently not so much, though, I hope that doesn't mean anything. I am very close to the team and have had a drink at the same table with Robben here and there. He's really great, down to earth, and generally a good guy. My favorite Dutch player off the pitch would still be van Bommel, though - total class act. Bayern was so stupid to let him and Lucio go. It was a van Gaal thing, unfortunately.
I suspect he saved his life. He performed the heimlich maneuver on him in a restaurant....he does tend to choke.
Seems Robben and Ribery are at least okay again, judging by today's pictures. That's the good thing with men, we can fight and be cool after that. If they were women, the team members would've took sides, split the team and everything would've blown up with half of them having to be sold. :grin:
Then ipso facto Barcelona must have lost? C'est impossible. Pep and Barca haven't lost two matches in a row since 2009. No way they could have lost. But then, no REEKO in this thread... So confused!
^^^ Ahh I see. I guess Reeko isn't here but I am. Barca simply looked tired out there, no energy whatsoever. Real deserved to win, its hard to accept it but they did. Now Chelsea on Tuesday.
Well, I guess I've been missed. Couldn't even get a Classico win for my birthday. We'll see who gloats today.
Want a Drogba goal tonight to kill Barca. And please no cheating refs/UEFA like the last times vs. Chelsea to save Barca's ass. GO CHELSEA!!!
