    Surely one of the best free kicks of Messi’s career? Postage stamp from that range was impressive.

    All jokes a side, liverpool produced one of the best away displays I've seen at the Camp Nou in years, the score line doesn't reflect that.

    I wouldnt be quick to laugh at the display anyway, I know that bar City, every other side in the PL would have had their arse spanked tonight by Barca.

    Chelsea we're destroyed last year in Spain, Utd had a good 10mins here a few weeks and were bate out the gate. Spurs got a draw here a few mo ths ago in the 6th game of the group with barca already through.

    I'm all up for taking the piss out of the result but it's frightening as a Chelsea fan to see how far off the pace we are compared to Pool.

    It happens when united loose, get posters like md1990 trying to take a rise there.

    Just because united fans post so what..


    This is the CL semi final, everybody is watching. So liverpool fans getting worked up about people posting about their thrashing need a thicker skin.

    It goes every way, i know dir hard arsenal and spurs fans and they slate each other all the time.

    Fact is people get worked up. If i was down the pub with a pool supporter now, he'd get a slagin, because its CL night.

    Its football

    The big difference between being down the pub and slagging mates etc and boards is well...

    This is a 'discussion' forum. Like the way all forums are and the back and forth 'banter' isn't much of a discussion and ends in disaster every single time.

    If I didn't have a thick skin I'd be in utd match threads constantly sniping back when they lose.

    Or replying directly to the bile tonight with reminders of utds season.

    I'm not sure a thick skin means getting involved.

    Sure its just a 3 goal deficit

    Once you stop Barcelona scoring at anfield and score 4 goals you will walk into the final.

    Tell that to VVD tonight :pac:

    In all serious though, I didn't see the game just some highlights and he looked partially at fault for the two goals.

    Probably the first time I've seen it this season.

    I just saw the Messi freekick replay, holy moly that was ridiculously good. Didn't arc that much it just rifled in there. It's incredible how many of those he scores. Right in the corner. Beautiful to watch

    Dont think Ive ever seen a post of yours that is in anyway relevant to football discussion no matter what thread on the soccer forum your in. Just dont get the point of logging in constantly to just go on the wind up.

    Added that to his game this season when Ronaldo thinks he can hit a free kick, messi seems to have a better scoring record at them than Ronaldo

    Maybe we could just ban all the fools with their **** banter? Set up a little corner in Boards and let them at it in there where they can't annoy anyone and let those who might actually want to discuss stuff post in peace in the soccer forum.

    I don't have the stats off hand but Liverpool must be nearly close to conceding the same amount of goals in the CL and the league?

    I think it's something like 20 in the league only.

    Edit : 12 in CL I think. Not as close as I first thought.

    Probably the first time I've seen it this season.

    He seemed to be worried about Suarez who spent most of the game playing in or around an offside position pulling him back towards his goal which in turn disrupted the Liverpool line, great when it works from the attacking team as it will cause confusing for those defending as they are unable to play offside effectively

    Well said both of you. Never interacted with either of you before but I'm sure we could have the banter and it'd be taken for what it is.

    If you can't take it you shouldn't try and give it

    4 defeats in the Champions League. 3 defeats in all other competitions put together this season.

    Are you a bit dim or what?

    It's a post calling out the same toxic ****e I'm calling out tonight.

    It wasn't a snipe based on the poster simply being a utd fan - it was criticism of the above.

    Are you just hoping people won't click the link or...?

    Pretty spot on by both and fair play, the point i was making.

    Liverpool lads accept the slaggin, ye've gotten far in the cup.

    Souness thinks your still in it tbf

    They showed that angle on BEIN earlier. You couldn't put the ball in a better spot.

    I knew since August Barca would win it.
    It's frustrating , because apart from Messi and the luck they get they really are an average side.

    Just wait till you see Ajax just lining up to pull Messi's pants down and suck him off in the middle of the pitch, will be the worst final in the history of the comp.

    Barca 5 - 0 Ajax

    And Ajax and their fans will be loving it.

    Utd fans agreeing with each other that Liverpool bashing is grand the same night as a heavy defeat probably doesn't do much in settling the debate.
