UEFA Champions Quarter-Finals (Aug 12-15)

[Riou]

Days like this I am glad we are out of this comp...hated getting smashed like this, but you just knew it was coming

 

[Lakersgooner24]

Messi can't decide this big games anymore.

Don't think prime Messi would have changed anything tonight. Bayern could create chances with their eyes closed with the way Barca have defended and given away the ball tonight.

 

[lufere7]

If Arteta keeps the upward trajectory of his promising start I can see Barcelona trying to pull another Fabregas on us

Hopefully they've gone to **** by then, I want another Wenger goddammit

 

[2Smokeyy]

Sacking a manager after 7 months in the job.

Only at Barcelona and Madrid.

 

[Rex Stone]

Messi lad pack it in with these bums. If you want to get beaten by three goals in every big game at least do it at the carpet.

We were in CL just because of money nothing more we never had ambition to go far. Until we have respectable team to compete with likes of bayern we shouldn't be anywhere near

 

[Jakarta]

Barca’s lack of planning and team building being shown to the world tonight.

Even worse waits for them when Messi is gone.

 

[Shalmaneser V]

Pretty happy with my shout, ngl.

Well I did say Barca would shock Bayern.

Bayern no doubt shocked at just how much of a shambles Barca players and Setien’s tactics have been.

Yanited 2009 is when I think it started, felt really inferior in the Champions League since then really.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Setien has to be sacked, completely out of his depth here. Reminds me of Sarri but worse.

He should leave.

Join City and play more freely. Barca are dusted.

 

[GDeep™]

Is it his fault they spent 400m on on Coutinho, Dembele, Griezmann ??

Don’t know about Griezmann, but others yeah.

 

[Rex Stone]

He should leave.

Probably resents Pep for all those years of pumping him full of injections and leaving him with a shrunken manhood.

Should come to us and play with the younger, non bald Pep.

 

[field442]

I wonder if Barca will follow the pattern of employing former players or go for someone like Poch?

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

You listen to the scoreline and just pause thinking there's something not quite right. So pleased for Barca . I hope they concede 6 more tonight. That would eclipse our Bayern bum smacking and give the journos something to talk about.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Barca will come calling for Arteta in the next few years.

 

[Rex Stone]

Poch said he won’t go there because he’s an Espanyol legend.

Think it’s a poisoned chalice tbh, could see why Wenger wants no part of it. Hiding to nothing with the expectations and how old and sh*t that squad is.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Who was the last top player that came from their La Masia academy? Thiago?

I think that’s killing them too.

 

[Lakersgooner24]

Yea that was the start. We were thoroughly defeated that tie. I think the following season against Barca solidified it.

I remember we were still a respected side, and when we drew Barca in the QFs, there were oohs and ahhs from the audience in anticipation of what many considered Barca vs Barca-lite. We somewhat fluked our way to a draw off Theo's impact sub in the first leg, and we're thoroughly beaten by Barca (or should I say Messi, with his 4 goals) in the return leg.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Funny when you think about bayern were in mini crisis with Kovac now they about to win the treble
