Well, but I do think so. I hate debating about the definition of "deserved" and stuff, so I won't even bother. I don't know how neutral people saw the game, but as a Bayern supporter you just had the feeling that there is some higher power mocking you, getting your hopes up just to crush them and leave you with the biggest "WTF JUST HAPPENED" feeling of your life.

Pls no "higer power" quote with Drogba or Abramo pics. I'm out anyway.

If the higher power's called poor finishing then I agree. It can probably be summed up more succinctly as anxiety. Too many times you shanked the ball wide or took a touch too many, and it cost you. When Chelsea had their opportunities they took them, simple.

As a Liverpool fan I know all about feeling unlucky, but at the end of the day that doesn't disqualify the result, just ask Kenny Dalglish.

Prior to yesterday, this is what most Chelsea fans felt like watching the Champions League. Made the win that much sweeter.

Anything interesting happen in the last 100 pages or so?(I am on 50ppg)

Haven't been keeping up with footballgaf for a while(though I have been watching most games), Napoli winning today was a surprise, bad luck juve-gaf. Still I'm sure you guys are happy with Serie A and copa italia final.
 
Haha! This kid was so mad I was up 4-0 before half that he is now scoring on himself over and over again. I'll screen the final score of I can. (he doesn't quit)
 
:lol, he looks conkerd. You'd swear he'd hit the drink already.

As frustrated you can sometimes be with him, it's hard not to love him.

Those fuckers always quit. They make you sit through their 10 min of own scoring just to try and make you quit the game.

I'm telling you guys buy Score! You basically reenact goals. Just done the first 60 on 2010s and now the Beckham goal against Greece. It's amazing.

When this next week of University hell is done I'm going to buy the shit out of it. E3's fast approaching too. At the end of a storm is a golden sky.

Wait that new chelsea jersey has a star on it now? its seems to.

Edit: Why do Barca have no stars? :p Is it a meaningless star?

Score! downloaded. Beats learning about "Fischers theory of the Quantity Demand of Money".

Am reading a filthily stupid article by Claud Cockburn (Olivia Wilde's grandfather, Messi) about literary bestsellers. He admits that the middle class were the principal buyers and borrowers of books in the early 20th century, and then, barely drawing a breath, says that bestsellers "really are a mirror of the mind and face of an age". So basically the identity of a culture can be condensed in the habits of the middle class. I've not read anything as fucking stupid in a while, and I've read every post of Footy-GAF recently.

Thought I recognized the name.
 
Barca fans, I believe there was an Ivory Coast flag last night that said something along the lines of "Who needs Messi, we've got Kalou". Just mull that madness over.

For the Champs League. Similar to Bayern's four. Think it's just a matter of choice hence Barca don't have them.

I wonder if they will keep it next season? will they release a new kit with it? I dont wanna buy the new kit and have them release a new one with a star in a few weeks.

http://www.chelseamegastore.com/stores/chelsea/products/product_details.aspx?pid=115436&cid=29027 That's it there. I'm not sure if they plan to put the star on all the kits going forward though. I'm holding off buying the new shirt for a while. I figure if we win the club world cup they'll put that crest on too. So I'd rather buy a shirt with the star and CWC crest (should we win) rather than have either missing.

Bayern's four starts are because of leagues titles (20=4), right now we have 21 titles, we need 30 titles to add one more star.
Ah, I assumed it was the UCL based on the "4" sleeve patch.

Edit: hold on, if 20 was equal to 4, would you not need 25 titles to get the 5th?

holy shit the game is good, nice physics/animation

love watching the replays

keepers seem impossible to beat unless you truly recreate the original kick/finish, but it's fun trying

edit- game is making me go into youtube to refresh my memory on some of the beauties

Kits ? I am more concerned with how we will do next season. Hopefully Villa will be back and in form. Gotta buy another attacker, a LB and a CB too. Transfer window going to be interesting.

But we should enjoy the euros and Copa Del Rey final until then :p

The CWC crest is a Badge that they print on. I got mine in the Barca megastore. I assume Chelsea will be the same. I think ill hold off too until this star thing is sorted out.

Ah the summer will be long and exciting. We will be fine next season. Hopefully. :)

I see.

Yeah, probably best just to hold off.

Drogba was running around with it. :lol

Remember some Copenhagen fans having kind of the same thing saying

Danish championships
Hjalte Bo Nørregaard (Pretty shitty Copenhagen player) : 4
Messi : 0
Yeah, that's where I seen it :lol. Madness.
 
Personally I think adding stars to the team crest is pretty tacky. The crest is the crest regardless of honours you have won. Pretty cheap IMO (sorry Juve-GAF).
