Arsenal vs. Barcelona Live!

Way hay! It's European Cup Final time, lads. Coming at you live from the Stade de France. A mouthwatering feast for the purists between the two most entertaining sides in Europe. Let's be having you!

Crap commentary for one. I mean, Tommy Smyth wasn't bad enough they had to include 'Cello?

By the way, did I ever tell you I met the nasty-haired-bicycle-kicking 'Cello at the US game in Columbus.

He likes those OU co-eds, I can tell you.

I went out to get a sandwich and when I got back there was this message from Dad.

"Uh Steve, you know that both teams must arrive at the stadium at least an hour in advance?

They got there with 4 minutes to spare...by the skin of their teeth."

CLICK!

Quality message!

Who invited Fabio? Is he a Gooner?

He's intending to taunt you a second time by taping the game on Sunday.

Is that on the Channel?

I can't believe that these guys aren't prepped just a little bit.

Freddie and Bob intead of Reyes bombing forward?

The Norski was the culprit in the Del Horno sending off.

I don't think that it's anything to do with him either deciding to stay or leave.

bright start at least. nice to see.

2:53 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Being fair, he did see the bleedin' obvious. Better than Smythe

2:56 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Oooh, that was pretty confident from Jens.

2:57 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Not liking all the space that Guily is getting off Cashley. And also not happy with the way Cashley is brushing his hands off before Guily is dealt with.

Totally hammered Valdez, but I like that Campbell put himself about there.

3:03 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

really can't tell about Messi yet.

that chance for Pires was oddly slo-mo.

3:05 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

I cannot believe that the ref has sent Jens off and given them a foul.

He's just hosed the game. Unbelievable. He's ruined it

3:08 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

No question. Down a goal with 11.

It's what the game needs too.

Refs continue to make bad decisions when the obvious getouttajail was to play the advantage.

Now that yellow. Is the fix in or something?

3:11 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

have I figured it ou

3:14 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

One hope now is that the 4 refs get together at the half and realize that they've got something to make up. 10 v 10. Predictions? I'd say Marquez is a likely early-bather.

3:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I am on.

3:15 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I think I have to put Davidnocito without a gap

3:15 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

what a start.
Henry should have scored
the crazy german is off
definitely should have given the goal and kept him on

3:16 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Red card or play on David. Your thoughts?

i tried to call you bob to help me get on but all I get is some crazy woman telling me to leave a message

I have been home since before the ko following you guys.
Boy, I was scared the ref was going to give a pen on Cole

3:17 PM

it was some computer lady not the mrs.

3:17 PM

I agree with you that it has ruined the game

Is there a way to have the posts at the top so I don't have to scroll down and then scroll up

Collina would have saved this game. Now it just the cat with a mouse.

Wait a minute, that's my number. He's trashing my missus now. Where's Cathy?

3:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I just read the question aimed at me.
Absolutely play on and no red-maybe yellow

3:22 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Look Bob, it's inevitable now. Barca can slow it down and eventually spring Ronnie, Guily, Eto'o or Deco on us. We're done if it stays 10 v 11.

3:22 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

where's Norman Hunter when you need him

3:24 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Good thoughts Steve.
Remember the 1983 European Cup Final.
Aston Villa vs Real Madrid(?)
Jimmy Rimmer had to come off really early and Spinks was man of the match and Villa won!!!

Nowt there. But Henry steps back....

I am disgusted with myself. I just cheered when the ARSE scored. WHAT IS GOING ON?

3:28 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

That's a make up call. Curly headed twat never got a finger on him.

Uh-oh, Eboue looks bad.

3:28 PM

Replay doesn't look so bad

Whooh, Pires, not the happiest of chaps.

3:29 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Are you kidding? We can rope a dope those chumps in the yellow sub and those magnificent bastards at real, but Barca's the real deal.

3:31 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

That's six fouls by Puyol to my count. When's his ticket coming fer crissakes?

3:32 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

well there is Sol and Ashely, but I wouldn't mind Ronny and Theirry to get knocks for the opening round of the tourney. Screw having the best players on show. We can't have Rooney they can't have them

a charmed life. Off the post
Bayern hit United's woodwork three times.
Good omen?

3:36 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Davey, I have to admit I've been thinking about the long term injury that would keep Henry out of the WC and that might just make Barca lay off.

It's noticable that Henry is making nice with first Guily, then Ronnie and now Deco.

3:37 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

what a save.
Spinks reincarnated

3:37 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

save from who?
Half way there Steve
Of course, Bayern were 90 minutes there

3:39 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Saves like Nigel looks like Leon

Good line Steve

bob, fix the fomatting I hate this damn scrolling

3:41 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Well, I sure hope so. I can't imagine Arsenal without him. Sure he goes missing sometimes, but what great player isn't sometimes infuriating.

Poll Barca...they love Ronnie but none of them think there no room for improvement.

wow a studio

What has he been on?

He's on a cop show I don't watch but he was good in the movie Lantana

3:44 PM

he had to be in something else

greg just emailed us asking if going down a goal or a man. I told him to join us

3:48 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I just looked him. The thing I remember him from was Daphne's drunk brother in Frazier

3:50 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

where are you guys?
Don't take half time off

3:54 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

of course, apparently greg is ignoring me

3:55 PM

I'm back Davey. I was trying to look up how to get the comment box to fall to the bottom. No luck.

Away we go. 45 minutes. I'm shagged already

3:57 PM

will Lehman get a medal?

3:58 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

From this list, Reyes,
Bergkamp, Van Persie, Flamini, Senderos, Clichy, only Flamini would do any bottling up, and he's just back from injury.

3:59 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Why wouldn't Lehman get a medal? I don't think that the red disqualifies him.

I think if we win, he'll be larging it up Hasselhoff-stylee on the pitch.

4:01 PM

Greg just emailed that he isn't ignoring but he can't multitask

Henry is going to BE OFF very soon

keeper is having a blinder

4:04 PM

I am guessing he is the loo because he is so nervous

4:05 PM

Ronny is having a stinker

4:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

free kick, uh oh

4:06 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

I've only seen Sendaros as a centre-back. Flamini will show up after 65.

This ref has been promoted above his level of competency. I never want to see him again.

Jeezus, when we know that everytime someone gets close to Ronnie that the ref calls a foul, how come we keep letting him get the ball within range?

4:07 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

havin a stinker

4:07 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

I'm watching the match you toss. And I'm bloody nervous. Off to being sick again.

4:08 PM

I'd trade a nut to have 10 minutes of posession.

4:10 PM

Here comes the cavalry as if they need more bods forward.

4:12 PM

Christ!

Why is it Hleb that gets free?

4:14 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

B-t-w, When did you last hear -- wait, dammmmmmmmmmit

Freddi should have scored.

4:18 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

That the first yellow for Barca tonight. Crazy

4:20 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Good player. Blows hot or cold but good crosser with a hot-shot to add to that.

Dave's been blocked from posting? Thoughts?

4:24 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Clever boy to pick up the corner. And here comes Flamini for Fabregas????

I dunno about that one. C'mon, one more from this corner.

4:25 PM

noooooooooooooooooooooooo

4:27 PM

it's over. neither ball goes in if Jens is playing.

4:32 PM

Bob, when you were looking at the settings I think you closed off further posts.

4:37 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Bergkamp.

4:37 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

can't get the ball off them now. very, very, sad.

those pictures of Henry are hard to take now.

4:39 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

I'm not sure of that. I think he's going now. Look at his face. He's crushed because he does feel something for the club and Arsene and he wanted to end up a champion for us. Now, he just leaves.


Didn't you see how he's making nice with Ronnie, Guily, and even that little wank Deco? He's behaving like a teammate.

Oh, what it could have been. Tah-rah.
