A thread about a man named Xabi

[Wor Horse]

Chelsea can't even fucking complain about Refs, look at that twat at the Bridge leg of our game, gave EVERYTHING Chelsea's way in the second half and even played advantage when Lucas got tackled, the back went backwards and they scored.

 

Bent.

We got deservedly and rightly humped against Chelsea, and no amount of bleating will change that fact.

[Wor Horse]

Didn't say we didn't.

 

Just said the ref helped them along the way, cheers.

Hardly much of a consolation

[INTORRESTING]

Hopeless how, to not go with the standard criteria PL refs are working from where you give Drogba every decision when he falls over like a 1 year old girl just because the wind changes direction?

 

Chelsea were absolutely robbed and that was plain to see

[Whelan]

No they weren't, Barca had a blatant pen in the first leg not given, and god knows how many cynical fouls that went unpunished, the second leg Chelsea had ONE good shout for a pen, the hand ball, the rest you would be spitting if they went against you.

 

The worst decision of the night was the sending off of Abidal.

 

I could have just said that Chelsea are cunts and got what they deserved but.....

[Code]

Are you sticking up for a fellow Norgie, Code? Not like you.

 

I`m not particulary fond of Øvrebø, but I think he got most of the major decisions rigth and the ones he got wrong penalized Barca more than Chelsea.

 

I agree with Whelan.

The Malouda foul was a penalty too. One foot inside the box, one outside = Penalty.

[Code]

Malouda foul?

 

You mean when Malouda threw himself inside the box to make contact with the defender, that could easily have been a yellow card for diving.

That aside, the ref decided it was a foul and gave it in the wrong place. Two mistakes by the ref then :whistle:

[Whelan]

Just because he gave a foul for a incident inside the box, everybody is conveniently forgettign the fact it was not a foul in any way shape or form!

[INTORRESTING]

blind if you think anything other than chelsea were completely robbed. If we were in their position we would be going insane.

Opinions eh.

I disagree.

I thought that was probably a penalty but none of the others were.

Unbelievably, this thread has turned even more shit than humanly possible.

[PaulMcC]

Isn't this an Alonso thread?

Looks like all these idiot journalists have picked up on what Catch22 has been going on about for ages now. Luckily they're wrong, as agents don't care much about money in regards to their client. And players don't care about money either.

Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has seemingly confirmed that his Anfield future is in some doubt.

 

Reds boss Rafa Benitez looks under increasing pressure as the long-term futures of his midfield stars Alonso and Javier Mascherano appear far from certain.

 

While Mascherano's agents have held discussions with Barcelona, Alonso has intimated he may also be looking for a better deal elsewhere.

 

Speaking in South Afirca, where he is competing in the Confederations Cup with Spain, Alonso stoked up the speculation surrounding his future.

 

"Would you be disappointed if you end up having to stay at Liverpool next season?" he was asked.

 

"I can't answer that question," he replied.

 

Benitez has already insisted he does not want to sell any of his key players this summer, with the club releasing a statement last week stressing their desire to keep the midfield duo.

seems like he wants to go.... hmmm

That's what me and one or two others have been trying to tell people for months but nobody wants to hear it.

 

*fingers in ears*

 

"LA LA LA LA LA LA NOT LISTENING LA LA LA "

[JohnnyH]

Everyone knows he wants to leave Tom. In fact the 2 or 3 were saying that Alonso wanted to stay and Rafa wanted him out. So I'd say only the very last line of your post is correct. :whistle:

[Bogman]

slightly twisted by sky to suit their agenda.

 

amazing what you can achieve by missing out certain words.

 

nicked from RAWK yesterday:

 

Xabi was interviewed after the match by a Spanish radio and was asked a series of questions regarding the NT etc and the very last question was: "Xabi would you be disappointed if you're still at Liverpool next season?" to which he replied with a timid laugh and said " I can't, I can't answer that question for you -(pause)-but nah, nah, not at all" then the interviewer said "You just did (laughs) but i won't press you on it" and Xabi just said "Very well" and it ended with the mandatory 'take care, see you later' exchange.

we need a Brian Fontana style 'Xabi Watch' alert for any developments on this
